Interesting #claim by #elonmusk that #twitter #employees were apparently #selling #bluebadges to people for $15k behind the scenes: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/yup-.. An #investigation definitely needed, sounds like #fraud .
People in the #us now literally #selling their #blood just to put #food on the table, thanks #biden https://www.zerohedge.com/political/im-s.. His #inflation #economic #fuckup has #delayed the #recession and #robbed the #poor of what very little #captial they had.
#iran #caught out #selling #drones to #russia , which are now being used in the #ukraine #invasion https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/i.. Apparently #suicde #drones have been used in #attacks against #ukrainian #soldier , supplied by #iran . Not a good look for #iran .
Now even #walmart are #selling #fake #drives , that will 100% #result in #dataloss https://www.tomshardware.com/news/30tb-p.. *This SUCKS.* You can imagine some #family buying this to #backup their #photos , only to go to use it and find out that it is *all gone.* #walmart seriously needs to get called out on this shit.
Huh, so it appears #chinese #phone #manufacturer #vivo have been #caught #selling phones with the same #imei number - something that allows #authorities to #track people and phone #networks to #block people: https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/over-1.. It seems like it could be a cool thing for #pine 64 to allow the editing of - could be the ultimate anti- #surveillance #tool !

I agree that it's quite a problem that #universities are essentially #selling #bullshit #masters #degrees https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-gr.. That's how I generally feel about #genderstudies or #racestudies or #blackstudies - either it's a specialized #history or it's #politics ... The fact the History department doesn't want to touch it should tell you everything you need to know.
