Scheduling would not be fine; under HIPAA “provision of healthcare” is considered PHI, so knowing that person x had their care at a certain time and place would be a problem.

This appears to just be a compilation of other leaks: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/no-the-16-billion-credentials-leak-is-not-a-new-data-breach/

Still not a bad idea to change passwords and make sure MFA is enabled.

Because of studies like https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.03622:

Overall, we find that participants who had access to an AI assistant based on OpenAI’s codex-davinci-002 model wrote significantly less secure code than those without access. Additionally, participants with access to an AI assistant were more likely to believe they wrote secure code than those without access to the AI assistant.

That’s the Washington Post

That would be equally annoying. Probably a better signal to noise ratio on IRC though; Discord descends into memes almost instantly.

Seriously. It’s beyond painful when some open source project only uses Discord for communication. You have to hope that you post your question at a time when the right people are online, and that there’s not a more interesting conversation going on, otherwise it just gets lost. Index that whole dataset.

I don’t know why you’re being down voted; here’s an upvote for being sensible.

This looks like useful stuff; thanks for sharing. I’m not on Windows myself any more, but this looks like info with passing on to those in my life who are.

What games do you play? I’ve been gaming exclusively on Linux since Windows 7 went EoS, and especially since the Steam Deck came out, I’ve had very few problems. That said I don’t play competitive stuff, which is what tends to have anti-cheat rootkits.

If you just bring s whole other person in your checked bags, you save on ticket costs, too.

Paywall

What’s the financial plan there? Or do you just want them to drop 80% of their budget or whatever it is and work for free?

As another poster detailed, this is not a company that exposed your info: these credentials are all from stealer logs, which are logs of credentials stolen by keyloggers installed on machines. If your credentials were in this report, it means that you’ve entered that username and password on a machine with malware on it. Could be your personal machine, or it could be some other computer you’ve used.

I don’t think this is a case of trying to make more money.

Sure it is: the only reason for DRM is to make more money.

What we’re seeing with Reddit is just the first stage of enshittification: making things worse for the end users who have been captured by network effect and what used to be a good service, in order to benefit advertisers. The second stage is making things shitty for the advertisers who have been captured by all the captive users. Paid subs are probably a harbinger of that kind of thing, but I don’t think advertisers are locked in enough to be really stuck yet.

Why would anything socially progressive organize on Facebook? Most normal people I know have abandoned that platform, let alone anyone privacy-minded or anti-oligarch.

That you’d be a bad teammate: the kind of person who puts personal preference above what the group has decided and causes problems for no good reason; the kind of person who would insist on indenting with spaces when the whole team has decided to use tabs.

Snow Crash is almost kinda satire, but also not. Also, I believe, the first use of the term “metaverae”. It’s a fun read.
