MODERATORS
It's why self-hosting is so important wherever possible.
I once knew a guy who received a blackmail email claiming they'd accessed his email account. He sent them pictures of his dick, balls and hairy butthole until they blocked him.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can do something similar with companies that breach my privacy. I worry that installing a blink camera under the seat of my toilet, so it can witness what a lack of fibre does to a mans lower intestine, wouldn't get the message through.
Or is this something I would be better taking up with the nearest US embassy or FBI field office?
A hit and a miss. Too much rice.
Thank you for bringing up that you're a vegan though.
Doesn't Casio still have these watches, even with step counter, that do not need an app? And you can even check the time on them.
