@LCSlates Don't know how the algo sent me here. I've read your chargeback saga. Then wondered what sub you were selling that would demand 2k+. How are you scraping names email addresses etc from visitors IPs to domains ? Am I just super naive that this is a thing ?

7.4k posts of absolute gold for years and years on this platform, speaking into the void, and all it took was me boo-hooing how unfair the world is to catch a winner. a lesson in there i think (but what do I know).

Well so much for that. Already lost. The system is utterly fucked and broken. @stripe 48-page evidence package. Easy to read, Table of contents, filled with visuals (a junior bank employee could easily understand everything). The customer used the product for 49 days, was logged in 13 hours before filing the chargeback, then canceled the subscription 5 hours after the dispute was already filed. *Technically they are still ACTIVE. Here's everything we submitted: PAYMENT INTEGRITY • AVS postal-code check: PASS • CVC check: PASS • Stripe Radar score: Normal (22 / low risk) • Auth success rate on customer email: 100% • Card brand, last-4, fingerprint, exp, billing ZIP all confirmed by issuer CUSTOMER USE POST-CHARGE • 35 distinct active days in 49 days • 393 authenticated session-refresh events • 17 long-form SEO articles generated • 18 AI images generated • 3 WordPress sites configured (admin credentials added) • 4 Google accounts authenticated via OAuth • Customer added their own paid OpenAI API key (BYOK) • 4 team members added TIMING • 49 days between charge and dispute • Logged into the dashboard 13 hours BEFORE filing the chargeback • Canceled the subscription 5 hours AFTER the dispute was filed INDEPENDENT IP CORROBORATION • Stripe captured IP at checkout: Manchester, UK • Microsoft Clarity captured 22 of 38 sessions over 60 days: also Manchester, UK • Two unrelated 3rd parties placing the same person in the same city across payment + 60 days of authenticated use THE KICKER - THE CUSTOMER'S OWN PUBLIC WEBSITE CURRENTLY DEPENDS ON OUR PRIVATE CDN • Articles generated on his account are LIVE on his own public WordPress sites • Page source contains img tags pointing INSIDE our private R2 bucket • Last-Modified headers on those CDN files match the EXACT minute his account generated them • Currently fetched by every visitor to his website CRYPTOGRAPHIC IDENTITY CHAIN (Automattic / Gravatar) • Every WordPress author avatar = SHA-256(author email) • 3 of his sites, 3 perfect SHA-256 matches against the gmail addresses in our DB • Automattic has no relationship with us, the customer, or the bank • Effectively unforgeable email-to-WP-admin binding DOMAIN OWNERSHIP (third-party attestation) • Google Search Console verified ownership on 4 separate domains • Public WHOIS: 2 of his domains registered 9 SECONDS APART through the same registrar account • Both registered 5 MONTHS BEFORE he bought our subscription • Pre-existing content business, not a stolen-card test VISA CE 3.0 ELIGIBLE • Same payment credential had a $0.00 trial-start invoice marked "paid" 7 days before the disputed charge • Same customer, email, payment method, subscription • Exactly the prior-undisputed-transaction proof Visa CE 3.0 requires The chargeback dispute system is broken.

Maurice Cohen, Chair of the Jewish Representative Council of Ireland speaking to The Irish Times in his measured response makes two key points: Cultural boycotts do not benefit those in whose name the boycott is made, and, Ireland Inc has squandered a precious opportunity to act as a trusted peace broker given its historical experience of reaching the Good Friday Agreement over 30 years. "It is legitimate to ask if RTÉ’s position was down to broad editorial principle, or does it reflect pressure from a relatively small but highly vocal activist constituency, both internally and externally? What concerns many in the Jewish community is not any single incident in isolation, but the cumulative effect of repeatedly singling out Israel across cultural, political and public discourse. Whatever one’s views on the current conflict, when Israel alone is subjected to exceptional treatment, many Jews understandably experience that not as neutral policy criticism, but as part of a broader atmosphere of hostility and demonisation. Jewish communities especially alert to moments when political rhetoric moves beyond criticism of a government into a climate of sustained moral vilification. No historical comparison is ever exact, but Europe has seen, on many occasions, where relentless demonisation, exclusion, and the normalisation of hostility toward Jews can lead. That history inevitably informs present anxieties. I am not persuaded that symbolic gestures such as this improve the lives of Israelis, Palestinians, or anyone affected by this tragic conflict. They may generate headlines or satisfy activist demands, but they do not bring peace closer. Ireland has, at its best, a reputation for diplomacy, conflict resolution, and moral persuasion. If Ireland wishes to play any constructive role in encouraging peace, dialogue, or mediation in the region, it must be seen as an honest and credible interlocutor rather than having predetermined allegiances. Actions of this kind risk undermining that perception.” In an ideal world, cultural events should be spaces that bring people together rather than become further battlegrounds for political confrontation." 🔗 in replies

On May 4th, a Swedish privacy lawyer caught Google Chrome silently installing a 4 GB AI model on every desktop computer it could reach. If you delete the file, Chrome treats the deletion as a temporary error and downloads it again at the next opportunity. The file is called weights.bin. It lives in a folder called OptGuideOnDeviceModel inside the Chrome user profile directory. It is the weights for Gemini Nano, Google's on-device large language model. Hundreds of millions of devices now carry it. Two thirds of every desktop browser in the world is Chrome. Alexander Hanff, the Swedish privacy lawyer, installed a clean copy of Chrome on a fresh Mac, ran a script that visited a hundred webpages with no human input, and watched the system logs as Chrome silently wrote 4 GB to his disk. Chrome 147 ships with an "AI Mode" pill rendered in the address bar. A reasonable user, knowing Chrome just installed an on-device AI model, would assume that visible AI Mode feature uses the model sitting on their hard drive. Local query. Local processing. Local privacy. Every part of that assumption is wrong. The visible AI feature ships your queries to Google's servers. The 4 GB file on your hard drive does nothing visible. It powers obscure features buried in right-click menus that almost no Chrome user has ever clicked. The invisible binary sits on your disk and waits for the version that does. Chrome is the most-installed surveillance product of all time. Two billion users. Every URL you visit, every search you type, every form you fill out, every site you stay on, every site you leave. The advertising model that pays for Chrome requires every one of those signals. Chrome holds 64% of the global desktop browser market. Two-thirds of every reader of this sentence is reading it through software that just took 4 GB of their hard drive without asking. Until last year, Chrome's surveillance ended at what you typed into the address bar and what your activity log showed. The model can now read the page you have open, the text you have selected, the draft you are writing inside a Gmail tab before you have decided whether to send it. Google's "Help me write" feature requires that capability by definition. Help me write means read what I am writing. Locally. In real time. Pre-send. It's time to switch browsers. The cartel cannot watch the screen it is not running on.

@hostis_black Scenario: Chrome decides it's a good client (webgpu, cores, ram, storage). Then gets compressed model weights and runs local service, because it's: - better for privacy - no data leak - faster - cheaper - greener It ticks all the boxes. And you scream ?

@s8mb Might be something to do with their actions in the middle east for the past few years where they have bombed and killed with mindless abandon. And it's a little convenient to forget your own history in Ireland whilst playing dumb to what's going on around you. We weren't alone

@DrUmarAlQadri @fatima_gunning If I can just take you away from your poor attempts to explain Irish identity to the natives. For your info, Gunning is an Irish - Gaelic name (descendant of Conaing). The Gunnings are around a little longer than the Al Qadris who got citizenship 2 years ago. As you were.

Fatima, the irony is incredible. You are half Pakistani yourself, visibly mixed heritage, and your own name isn’t even traditionally Irish , yet you’ve appointed yourself the gatekeeper of who gets to be called Irish. Nobody said Irish culture is a “costume.” That’s your own exaggeration. Calling a woman from a diverse background Irish does not erase Irish identity. You expect your own Irishness to be accepted, but seem offended when that same acceptance is extended to others. That’s hypocrisy, plain and simple. Ireland is not so fragile that it collapses because a brown or black woman is called Irish.

I would never have had the cheek to lecture Japanese people about what it means to be Japanese when I lived in Japan. Imagine if an Irish man moved to Ghana and tried to tell the native people that their culture and heritage has no inherent meaning and is essentially a costume anyone can put on.

Suad Mooge is not “the new Irish”, she is Irish. Born and raised in Ireland, shaped by its people, culture, humour, and values like countless others. Her appointment as Dublin Rose is a reminder that Irishness is not defined by skin colour, but by belonging, contribution, and shared identity. A proud moment for Ireland. 🇮🇪

@DanMulhall Identity Theft, the new book by Dan Mulhall. Explains how to appropriate another national identity for your own personal agenda, whilst diluting away the very historic fabric of society. Dan's explanation makes the centuries-long struggle of our ancestors so easy to forget. 🙄

Daniel Mulhall@DanMulhall·
A lot of the angry responses to my post appear to be confused about Irishness. They think it’s only available to people whose families on both sides have lived in Ireland for generations. Those people are certainly Irish but so are many people of Irish heritage who were born abroad. If they have one Irish born grandparent, they are entitled to citizenship. Someone born in Ireland without an Irish heritage but who grows up here is, under our laws, entitled to be Irish. What else could they be. They may never have seen their ancestral homeland. They have been educated in Ireland and been part of our society. The only reason for denying them the right to be Irish would be racism pure & simple, and that is not something most Irish people would go along with, although a noisy minority probably holds such un-Irish views.

@wethepeopleeire Is it because the Anti-SLAPP Directive has only been partially implemented into Irish law by the Defamation Act 2026? There are proposals for further implementation contained in the recently published General Scheme of SLAPPS. I didn't see the balls article nor the claim.

Why is Alan Shatter, the ex justice minister no less, allowed to issue what appears to be weekly SLAAP threats to people and organisations with impunity? This practice is illegal in this country, in my honest opinion, after researching the issue. Shatter is clearly using social media to revel in the fear and submission of his targets for political purposes and to the detriment of public participation. Use of legal threats to cultivate public apologies is illegal. Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (“SLAPPs”) “A significant proposal contained in the Draft General Scheme is the potential introduction of a new section into the 2009 Act to address SLAPPs, the use of strategic and abusive litigation by powerful plaintiffs to deter public discussion. Under the proposal, defendants would be able to apply to a court for early dismissal of an action, or, after the full hearing for a dismissal and/or declaration that the proceedings constituted a SLAPP. The Draft General Scheme provides that proceedings may be considered by a court to constitute a SLAPP if they have certain “features of concern” such as: “(a) the making of claims of a disproportionate, excessive or unreasonable nature; (b) intimidation, harassment or threats made by the plaintiff or his or her representatives against the defendant or associated parties, including prior to the institution of the proceedings; (c) the existence of multiple proceedings initiated by the plaintiff or associated parties, against the defendant or associated parties, in relation to similar matters; (d) the conduct of the litigation by the plaintiff in a manner which is disproportionate, excessive or unreasonable, including (but not limited to) the use of aggressive, unreasonably frequent, or intrusive pre-action communication...” If proceedings are found to constitute a SLAPP, a plaintiff may be liable to bear the defendant’s costs in full. Furthermore, if a court is satisfied that defamation proceedings are a SLAPP or abusive, a court may award damages to the defendant in those proceedings for harm suffered as a result of the proceedings.” mccannfitzgerald.com/knowledge/disp… The described law came in to effect earlier this year and contains specific provisions to prevent exactly what Alan Shatter is doing here and every other day. irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2026/act/2…

In 1995, 15-year-old Nicole van den Hurk was raped & murdered on her way to school in the Netherlands. The case went cold for 16 years. Then, suddenly, her stepbrother Andy confessed on Facebook: “I killed my little sister” Police arrested him… but all was not as it seemed. It was, in fact, a deliberate false confession. Andy’s plan? Force them to exhume Nicole’s body for modern DNA testing. The insane gamble worked. In 2014, the real killer, a man with prior rape convictions, was caught & sentenced to 12 years.

Now, I know Booking doesn't do that. I noticed the domain name isn't booking.com. I don't know how they got my reservation details. Either Booking.com got hacked, or the hotel. I suspect this type of automated attacks is going to become very common.
