standing_user··on Recent 'MFA Bombing' Attacks Targeting Apple Users
Happened to me yesterday, I was baffled but then I found that you can request the one time password just using the email associated with the LinkedIn account, so the password wasn't compromised

I have changed the password, main mail and in the privacy settings of LinkedIn removed the visibility of the email

standing_user··on Unintended Consequences: Strategic Naïvety, China and the End of the US Empire
Quite a big theme tbh I'm not smart enough to make a comprehensive reply to your question that encompasses all the socialogical, economical and so on thing.

But my 2 cent on this topic as common dude is that nowadays it pretty useless to vote since both parties have scandals or some grade of corruption.

On the other hand if you don't vote you are just idle and you can't complain if things don't change if you don't act

standing_user··on Meta fined $1.3B over data transfers to U.S.
Most likely even that, if and when it will be done will have flaws that sooner or later will cause the fall

Purely from a logical perspective, preventing the data of a company operating in the United States and Europe from contaminating or coming into contact is a pure utopia no matter how much effort it puts into goal or any other company operating in the same or similar field. There will always be a point of contact and a way for European data to be under the lens of some American agency or body.

In addition to Facebook is not really famous for its transparency in data management so any commitment to the contrary I see it as a paper promise

NATO's excuse that because the US finances then anything is allowed is a fallacious argument.
