The fun of BBS is the lack of privacy. You have to connect with your telephone number to someone else's phone number. If you thought your IP addresses was important to keep safe, imagine your phone number.

I'm half joking. I'm not sure but servers didn't have some caller ID program. I think it would show up on the phone bill though.

i've heard both so I checked.

From Wikipedia:

A bulletin board system (BBS), also called a computer bulletin board service (CBBS),[1] is a computer server running software that allows users to connect to the system using a terminal program.

So yes, you are correct.

This does use OpenStreetMap. It adds other public data from other sources.

Out of the four layers Overture Maps provides, th ey use OpenStreetMap for the Transportation and Building layers.

I hope the cash he got from banks is backed by his stocks in Tesla. But what do I know, look what happened to Silicon Valley Bank. Banks aren't smarter in investing than the rest of us apparently.

Wow. I was being sarcastic. That's how stupid I think this law is. Lol

Sounds insane. Another law where the only people it affects negatively are non criminals.

Why do they not see that encryption can happen in any form of communication even if they do get their backdoors? Are they going to make all encryption illegal?

Accenture and Google's relationship has changed throughout the years. They are partners in cloud services. I'm not sure what their role is in other divisions though.

“We had exercised our right to organize as members of the Alphabet Workers Union-CWA in order to bring both Google and Accenture, a Google subcontractor, to the bargaining table to negotiate on several key demands, including layoff protections.”

Google only started accepting contractors and recruiters because they were expanding before the pandemic. They probably wanted to get rid of both of those anyway.

They will show through internal communication that this was planned all along. Any retaliation protection this union thought they had doesn't exist.

Thank you for the info.

The page is still up though. I haven't tested it but hopefully what they're doing is working.

I PMed OP directly with other information.

For everyone else, the link to create a community seems to have been removed for some reason.

It should be in the "Trending communities" section in the sidebar.
