And it makes me so happy to see my generation out and about and having fun with Pokemon

But if you ruin it for little kids who are getting outside and having a blast and are so pumped to try and beat a gym

I’ve actually had the same thing happen to me, and the officer explained to me that it’s a precaution they take. I understand that. 

It’s not smart to act skiddish, and if you want a record of your account with the police then you should install a dash cam.

Signal boost the correct information, not an emotional recounting.

And then you message me directly so no one else can see the completely irrelevant and incorrect shit you’re saying. So again, where did I say he pulled a gun on me?? Lol where?? Where did I bring up his race?? I still haven’t! You’re seeing things that aren’t there, which is expected, my dear, concerned racist white friend. 

Your post was incorrect, assuming, and uncalled for–much like the actions of this cop and many others. If anyone of us has a problem, it’s you. Coming over here trying to sound intelligent and be condescending and you’re only making yourself look like a fool.

Thank you for keeping me entertained on this boring Saturday morning.

Pokémon Go players are kayaking out into the ocean to claim a gym

In Wellington, New Zealand, there’s a gym located by a fountain. The problem? That fountain is in the middle of Wellington Harbour. Not that that’s stopping some dedicated trainers who are boating out there to claim it. According to the daring players, Team Yellow seems to have the advantage here.

I am pissed the fuck off for many reasons:

I live super close to these buildings.

I live in housing projects so this could’ve very well happened to me and my family, friends, and neighbors.

The people who live in these buildings have to pack up and go without any real say in the matter all because a billionaire house developer wants to build a better luxury housing complex.

Do you know how hard low income families have it? Even if you pay them off before you demolish the buildings – what guarantee do they have of finding another home? Another home that has ease of access for public transportation? Or close enough to their jobs? Or a home where they don’t have to live in another borough? Not everyone has a backup plan.

And most of these buildings have a strong community among neighbors…and you’re just gonna blast that away?

Sure, it’s rough living in the projects. Sure, not everything is squeaky clean. Sure, not everything is all white picket fence and smiling neighbors. But for you to displace all of these people living there…for investment purposes….for gentrification…what the fuck. These are people’s homes.

And I know those buildings, they have a history of faulty utilities. You’re telling me it’s less expensive and more justified to demolish the buildings and displace the residents than it is to fix the fucking utilities in the buildings?

Like most apps that work with the GPS in your smartphone, Pokemon Go can tell a lot of things about you based on your movement as you play: Where you go, when you went there, how you got there, how long you stayed, and who else was there. And, like many developers who build those apps, Niantic keeps that information.

According to the Pokemon Go privacy policy, Niantic may collect — among other things — your email address, IP address, the web page you were using before logging into Pokemon Go, your user name, and your location. And if you use your Google account for sign-in, unless you specifically revoke it, Niantic has access to your entire Google account. That means Niantic has read and write access to your email, Google Drive docs, and more. (It also means that if the Niantic servers are hacked, whoever hacked the servers would potentially have access to your entire Google account. And you can bet the game’s extreme popularity has made it a target for hackers. Given the number of children playing the game, that’s a scary thought.) You can check what kind of access Niantic has to your Google account here.

“The person who wrote this has no understanding of metrics work

Literally every web service to ever exist NEEDS your IP address to function,

email addresses are used to log in,

and they use “previous site tracking” to determine where they’re getting the most traffic from so they can better advertise there

Bullshit clickbait fear shit like this pisses me off so much

because it freaks people out unnecessarily while spreading misinformation for profit

Like they claim they have R/W authority over your email address, but

Google API literally just exists to use one-login functions and doesn’t authorize that sort of use”

I checked this earlier today in my own app permissions and it’s 100% legit. This obviously was not intentional but its such a gross and blatant security flaw.
