if you have a samsung galaxy/note phone (and potentially other samsungs) disable storage permissions for stock messenger, long story short apparently some people’s entire galleries are being texted to random recipients after a recent update. so uh. your whole gallery can be texted to a random contact without your knowledge. evidence of the photos being sent only show up to the recipient. so unless they tell you, someone could have all of your pictures without your knowledge. this is a truly dangerous bug and more people are realizing they are affected by the hour. nobody knows what causes it or how to stop it for sure
just want to emphasize that this is happening and is horrible and potentially life changing. a few people are reporting their entire gallery being texted to a random contact. every photo. aside from the obvious danger of accidentally sending inappropriate pictures to co-workers or something, this could out a lot of people to abusive family or put folks in danger or someone even mentioned having inappropriate pictures accidentally sent to a child. the biggest workarounds right now are switching from the stock messenger app on samsung devices and disabling storage permissions and connectivity between gallery and SMS and just as many permissions as possible until anyone figures out why this is happening. this bug potentially affects anyone using the stock samsung text/messenger/SMS app.
it’s a really good thing my galaxy is new, and doesnt have the 9000 images on it that my last phone did
@vaspider I feel like this is something you might want to see/boost for people’s safety.
while this isn’t to say that drinking is an unacceptable thing to do in moderation or to completely negate the historical importance of the lgbt bar scene, it IS to say that these companies do not give a FUCK about our community. they are targeting a dependable audience at the risk of numerous lives and should not be celebrated for doing so.
Please share this and spread the message. Pet safety around the 4th of July is something too many people overlook because it just doesn’t occur to them. Keep them safe!
“why do you care so much about people making fun of straight women?”
idk, maybe because I spent the first 18 years of my life thinking that I was a straight woman? maybe because I have friends and relatives that are straight women? or maybe, just maybe, it’s because I’m a somewhat decent human being who cares about things happening to people that aren’t exactly like me?
because they’re still women being told they deserve abuse because of their sexuality?? maybe because it makes y’all sound like fucking conservative Christians shaming women for having the audacity to show off their sexuality without your permission
the most telling thing about the political climate this year is that usually my dash is filled with 4th of July posts by now but there’s been absolutely nothing… like nobody can even find the strength to post ironic eagle memes are you guys alright over there
depression after years of having it isn’t even sadness it’s just being exhausted and being allowed one (1) emotion a week and sometimes your brain is like “die” and you’re like “shut up brad”
