      Come with me back to IRC land. The water’s fine.

      (Technically you should log in to nickserv, but that’s it)

        Only if you want your nick to be reserved, right? At least that’s what Q does on quakenet.

          Yeah, if you don’t worry about someone impersonating your account you don’t have to reserve.

        Normally only bothered if it was somewhere I wanted to return to frequently, otherwise no point registering

      It’s waxed and waned.

      I remember when you had to log into everything, but there wasn’t much to visit. Then people started using the Internet en mas and selling ads was the market maker. So you didn’t need to log in, but you did get the most malicious JavaScript ever written trying to jam pop-ups under your cursor.

      Now we’ve somehow managed to achieve the worst of both worlds

        Then: “If you don’t have to pay for it then you’re the product”

        Now: “You have to pay for it and you’re the product”

      Unless it’s got literally nothing of note on it, I try to make a habit to log into everything manually every time. Some sites find this “suspicious” and make me check my phone and email to get in, which can be a little annoying.

      Lol no, they aren’t going to try and find your ID in online data breaches. It’s a joke about these “send us your ID to confirm your age” things get breached all the time

        It might work though. They keep making laws about using “commercial databases” but they never say you actually have to pay for them.

      I believe it’s a post from a dude in xitter named Soren Iverson, he does posts like this all the time. Basically just black mirror-esque tech site updates.

        lol, the data breach part is super real. Them actually searching for it for your authentication isn’t.

        Never not fucking ever will I ever upload any ID to any internet anything. I don’t like using my bank card online. Or in person. Cash is king baby, all else is bullshit and giving fuckers new and exciting ways to steal your shit

      So sad to me that craigslist, or even just fucking yard sales, and cash seem to be going down in use in the states. Cash is king, baby
