# **VANTABIRTHDAY FUNDRAISER 2.0**please boost! :boostRequest: okay forget my previous birthday fundraising post. this one is more of a necessity. my birthday is tomorrow btw! okay so. my phone is basically unusable now. i literally can't do two things at once on it. if i try to listen to music or be in a discord call at the same time as looking something up in a web browser... the music or voice call will just turn off. IT IS GODDAMN INFURIATING. i've tried everything i can to stop this but i've been told that it is the RAM and there's nothing i can do to solve it except upgrade so it's a matter of WHEN, not if, i end up smashing this phone into a million fucking pieces. i've come so close to just throwing it onto the ground as hard as i can so many times because of this. or snapping it in half idk what good phones there are or how much one would cost so i'm just gonna set the goal as $1000 since that seems like it'll get the job done and in case it wasn't obvious i'm unemployed and disabled and poor and only asking because i could never in a million years afford something like this on my own i know this is a big ask, so feel free to only contribute to part of it! i will be updating the total this post has reached in the replies as necessary in addition, my laptop is also quite old and dogshit and similarly infuriating, if you'd like to help me out with that as well. anything and everything is always appreciated :3 $0/$1000 tysm :rainbow_heart: #MutualAid #TransCrowdFund #birthday

remember 20 years ago when Sony had the galaxy brain DRM idea of "fuck it let's rootkit our customers" > In 2005, it was revealed that the implementation of copy protection measures on about 22 million CDs distributed by Sony BMG installed one of two pieces of software that provided a form of digital rights management (DRM) by modifying the operating system to interfere with CD copying. Neither program could easily be uninstalled, and they created vulnerabilities that were exploited by unrelated malware. > One of the programs would install and "phone home" with reports on the user's private listening habits, even if the user refused its end-user license agreement (EULA), while the other was not mentioned in the EULA at all. Both programs contained code from several pieces of copylefted free software in an apparent infringement of copyright, and configured the operating system to hide the software's existence, leading to both programs being classified as rootkits. > Sony BMG initially denied that the rootkits were harmful. It then released an uninstaller for one of the programs that merely made the program's files visible while also installing additional software that could not be easily removed, collected an email address from the user and introduced further security vulnerabilities. #sony #rootkit #scandal
