Comment The Day Chrome is Sold... (Score 1) 48

is the day I go back to Firefox.

I'm not saying Google is a model of a moral corporation, but I would trust them and only a tiny handful of other companies with my browsing data.

Any other middling company, and there is a countdown to when they get breached an my data is spilled all over the internet.

Comment Who is Fronting Him This Money? (Score 2) 151

The loan to buy and then subsequently strip mine the landfill would be astronomical!

Who is loaning him this money? Knowing full well that if the Bitcoin aren't recovered, then this guy has no chance to pay for this whole endeavor.

He'll probably have to declare bankruptcy.

You are right.

If one is technically competent, you can set up a VPN to your home network to appear like you are still at home.

However this is far above the capabilities of most people.

A supposedly portable service has now been locked down geographically.

Not only the distribution, but the implication that Swift was a willing participant in the acts depicted in the fake images.

Yes, you could create artwork depicting the same things, and we wouldn't really know if they were completely fabricated or posed.

But photographs are generally assumed as a literal snapshot of reality, ie. "pics or it didn't happen". So what happens when photographs are lying?

It's still a real problem for the actual person being depicted in the images.
