Even something as straightforward nowadays as VPN install can educate a person about cybersecurity as a side effect.

Thing is most stuff is simply too easy too acquire nowadays. No effort. No thought. Just endless stream of dopamine that is too addicting to even bother inquiring about how the very thing you are using works.

The victory of convenience will defeat us. There has to be some effort needed to acquire things otherwise they lose any value.

At least it will raise tech literacy among youth. If it isn’t as easy and would require some thinking that’s already better than 99% of homework.

Yeah where? You just said down voted like your personal opinion on the post mattered. Then edited to say upvoted like anyone cared or you were deluded into thinking it was thanks to your little tiny point down

Maybe I am angry but the frikin internet archive is going down, I hate this shit

Seriously no one cares if you downvote or upvote stuff. Get lost with your inept attempt at manipulation

Yeah and I was supposed to stay calm and cute this whole week see what you have done with your shitty comment?

Fuck yes, we need to get our hands on this stuff for fucks sake. I have shit there I don’t even know I need yet

Can someone fucking near get their ass there and do a legendary copy paste operation on a massive scale

Yeah well if they call/mail you specifically getting your contact from some leak database you can safely mark them as scam. As great number of them are.

Similarly you wouldn’t give money to beggars in the street because you know most of them aren’t in need of help but make money like this, scamming ppl while those that really need help are helped by various legit orgs you give money to instead.

Those scummy orgs are like these beggars manipulating you into pity. It’s very powerful manipulation mechanism and very often works. My grandma was scammed like this many times before we persuaded her to not send money to random people. Instead you should sit down, browse the list of legit orgs and choose one/few to support once a year/month with some amount.

Or you can just pay taxes if in a country with robust, developed social welfare system and enjoy.

IA my guess is they are mostly legit but it’s puzzling where they ended up

Of course, it happens all the time with many non profit orgs. They even pest you and call people for donations. You didn’t know?

My grandma is pestered daily from some organisations that ‚help poor kids’ or whatever. Pretty lucrative business.

Some even get public money and are connected to politicans that sometimes launder public money through them, seemingly with no consequences.

Legitimate ones will never whore for cash with spam emails or calls and won’t be connected to government. All the rest are just get rich schemes.

You have to do proper, thorough research before you donate money to some kids helping org or similar. Else you will just fund someone’s Porsche.

Fuck.

I really hope someone gets hold of the data and shares it on p2p or otherwise. If all this data is deleted it would be equivalent to nuking pyramids or burning Picasso paintings.

Is there a single person who is like “wow I love it”?

GOG game releases are nice for that feeling I guess or they were in the past maybe it enshittificated too
