Old Androids Never Die, They Just Have A Few Screws Loose
[Note that, as always, I speak for myself and not my employer.] Recently it was discovered that someone had put a crypto miner in their snap app, and not bothered to mention it. It really infuriates me that the response taken was "well, it's not illegal or unethical if you tell the user," because that […]

VICE, internet shithole and general hive of scum and villainy, decided to attack Naomi by complaining to Patreon about doxxing when they started the fight themselves.
