  • It would absolutely be a privacy concern if someone without the rights to access this data could access it from the computer.

    My understanding is that it’s the same account logged on both devices. Computers are multi-users devices. No technology ever would protect your secret stuff from someone you’ve just shared your personal account with.

    It’s a problem that deletion is not perfectly synchronized, yes. It certainly is a privacy risk because an unauthorized intruder could find them. But in this particular case, there’s no intrusion. The wife just had normal access to these messages in the first place.








  • I have an old gmail account that’s just my first name initial and my last name.

    Occasionally I get mails from shady people, like “coaches” spewing pseudoscientific fake psychology bullshit. Turns out there’s a guy that barely knows how to write and has a similar name to mine who regularly gives my address to people.

    I tried telling them about the address (there was what I assume was a family contact in CC). I don’t think it registered at all. Makes me rather uneasy.


  • I can imagine that.

    Reminds me of my experience with a rhythm game/RPG of sort from some time ago, that had battles being played like Dance Dance Revolution games. Only you had to switch in real time between 3 alternative charts to attack/defend/heal.

    It’s probably not actually meant for using with an actual DDR dance mat, but it’s a feature if you want to, and, well, I have mats. However there’s the problem of all those non-arrow commands, like switching panels, and it’s a bit much for just feet. So the way I tried it was using a controller for actions while I stepped to the arrow charts.

    My conclusion : coordinating all that stuff is fucking hard.
