    Well, this tells us that more privacy minded people with a background or interest in technology tend to be more present/engaging on Fediverse platforms. Not really surprising.

    But it has 10k impressions!!! which means that 9k bots scrolled past it and a couple of people had it loaded on their app.

      Same idea as new-reddit with its ‘views’. It doesn’t make sense how some post on a local subreddit gets a few hundred impressions immediately, even when posted at 4am. Meanwhile the actual organic comments on the same post follow the average human wake/sleep cycle

      I wonder if advertisers are also fooled by those numbers, or if they use a different way of measuring

    A sample size of 1 isn’t really meaningful.

    Also, this post is refuting a claim that isn’t really being made? At least not literally.

    I don’t understand the point the posts are trying to make. If an attacker can get at the SQL database, they must have remote access, i.e. the system is compromised somehow. What’s stopping them from getting at anything else? Why should we concerned about the database specifically?

      More and more games are shipping with mega sus kernel level anti cheat which can (and does according to their EULA) take screenshots and files from your PC to make sure you “aren’t cheating”.

      Valorant, for example, is made by riot, owned by tencent, owned by the Chinese government, and has a nasty kernel anti cheat in it.

      So this means that with essentially no effort or changes the Chinese gov can just take this file and related screenshots of everything you do wrapped in a bow

      And they 100% will do this.

        A little rabid, but entirely likely.

        and the US goverment already has your data!

        I don’t know why everyone is so afraid of China getting their data. I mean the US is not good either.
