The Interwebs Are Recording Everything

Tell me all the  more popular sights on the net are not connected some how. Every time I use the term "cloud" in regards to storage, this ad shows up on Facebook minutes later.

I just posted a blog that said something about backing up to the cloud and went to Facebook, hit refresh and there it was again. Yuppers they is all keeping track of us...

Got to love though how many people on the net go on about "I don't let them track me". Well you post on ANY social media site and even if it's set to you only it gets recorded - SOOO...

Here is the other ticket, nothing is ever gone. NOTHING. You delete a pile of posts from your Facebook or a bunch of videos from YouTube and they are actually still on the servers, you just don't see them any more.

In the case of YouTube you might never see them again, but in a strange bug a few years ago a bunch of people not only had all their private videos set to public, a bunch of deleted ones showed back up in their list. As for Facebook - delete something then go look at your log - it's still there...

    Google may not be showing ads on Blogger but I bet they are collecting data to sell to other places like FB

      I'm sure they are. I'm also sure Redit and Pintrest sell your trends as well to marketing companies...

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
