>But on the other hand, I hadn't logged in in nearly a decade!
This is the cause. With a long dormant account, facebook has no real content to show you. Your friends will almost all be dormant as well, even the facebook pages and groups you were part of are likely to have fallen silent. Facebook will feed you directly from the slop firehose rather than show you a blank feed.
It's everything mentioned that's then filterable via tags, there's a joe-recommended tag for books that are directly recommended by one of the cohosts.
All ads are searchable. They found the exact words and phrases that regulators used and then made sure those were clean.
>As a result, Meta decided to take the tactic global, performing similar analyses to assess “scam discoverability” in other countries. “We have built a vast keyword list by country that is meant to mimic what regulators may search for,” one document states. Another described the work as changing the “prevalence perception” of scams on Facebook and Instagram.
I remember a comment on here years ago from someone in GCP who mentioned that they did not control the "Cloud" namespace. So any VP could launch a new project and call it cloud something and make people very confused about why it wasn't showing up in the cloud dashboard and API.
Speaking of sustained scraping for AI services, I found a strange file on your site: https://book.sv/robots.txt. Would you be able to explain the intent behind it?
The article makes it clear that Common Crawl is ignoring copyright take down requests, and only modified it's search engine to fake having taken down content.
They also need to know where in the app the code for each service is displayed, so they are grabbing the code for your bank and not for your World of Warcraft account.
China permitted/sponsored rebels to seize a decent chunk of the Myanmar side of the Chinese/Myanmar border after a number of Chinese citizens (allegedly including some undercover Chinese police) were killed in a scam compound there.
I'm glad to see you use "most of this war", acknowledging that Israel has at times totally blockaded all food and medicine from Gaza (and not for logistic or military reasons, but as a pure pressure tactic as stated by Israeli officials).
And it's true, Israel is not required to accept aid from other countries for Gaza. They could instead provide the full required resources for civilians in the occupied areas themselves.
It's pretty disappointing that the author (writing in 2025) says "perhaps to maintain its status as the world’s largest botnet operator," and links to a Spamhaus report from Q1 of 2020.[0]
If you check the most recent version of the report from Spamhaus (Jan to June 2025)[1], Cloudflare is nowhere to be seen, and Digital Ocean, who they recommend as a Cloudflare alternative is listed as third largest botnet host in the world.
Looking back through the historical reports this isn't a new phenomenon, in Q4 of 2022 Digital Ocean was ranked #2 and Cloudflare was down at #17.
TOTP and SMS 2FA prevent credential stuffing attacks, which is very valuable considering how bad people are with password reuse and how many breaches with plaintext or weakly hashed passwords there have been.
Having to call/visit and social engineer an employee is an order of magnitude more work than just logging in with stolen credentials, which can be entirely automated. SMS 2FA is valuable when it can prevent credential stuffing attacks. It's a vulnerability when it can be used to reset passwords and recover accounts.
