#two-step verification for Facebook

My mom ordered me something from Mercari but instead of using my Mercari account she signed in on her Facebook to buy it and immediately got hacked. She is now blaming me and yelling at me… I told her to use my account that has two step verification on it but nah she is difficult

Big corporations should burn in the fire of the revolution

I'm fucking done this time. I'm furious, seriously. I'm sick and tired of Google's and Facebook's and Amazon's sleezy corporate policies and poor platform management decisions.

What happened, I hear you ask? Well, I lost my goddamn phone. And just like that I'm locked out of all of my important data and contacts, because of the fucking two-step verification bullshit they came up with. Most importantly, in the case of Google, I DISABLED THAT SHIT just two weeks ago.

I know my e-mail, I know my password, I even know my "secret secutity questions", which are apparently useless these days. Still, I can't use anything, I almost missed a job interview because of this, I can't call my friend, who lives in Denmark, and I can't access half of the websites I often visit (including my Stripe account and YouTube channel), because they're all tied up with fucking Google.

Make no mistake about this is. This is not about our security. The mere reason this 2-step assfuckery exists is to create a bridge between your computer and your phone so those corporate dipshits and sleazy marketing dickheads have your online identity complete. So they can show your more "relevant" ads.

That's right buddy, look at those beautifully AI generated toothpaste ads. Get that new gorgous tracking device, which probably cost the life of some poor kid in China. There you go. Accept all cookies. Goood boy. Now lick my fucking boots and balls and go back to your wage-slave job, while we come up with more ways to tighten the rope around your neck even more. I think we should come up with some new ways to lock you out of your bank accounts as well, what do you say? Oh, right. That already exists.

This is bullshit. We don't need you. YOU need us. You need us to be quiet, and docile, and engaged in some meaningless conflict, so you can smoke your fine cigars and take a nice, warm bath in our own tears.

And what WE need is just a little more boat rocking, just a little more eye poking, and I swear to God, - you're all gonna get what you asked for, delivered Ramsay Bolton style.

See you on the streets.

- Stop with the huge ass pop up proposing you to subscribe to the newsletter the second you arrive on a blog article/scroll down a bit.

- Stop buidling/testing your website on chrome for mac, those website oftentimes can't be scrolled down on firefox for some reason and sometimes won't even display at all. And yeah you could use an agent switcher to make it work but cloudfare doesn't like those and will get stuck in a verification loop.

- Stop the crap of "oh you don't want cookies? 🥺 Then pay 1€ to access this article. 🤗"

- Big point also: stop blocking people from seeing posts on social networks and making it so bad/predatory to force them to sign up.

- Restaurants, please make a shitty ass WordPress website or whatever instead of only using Instagram or Facebook to display your menus. I or can't access it or have to scroll a fucked up display to maybe maybe not find the one small information I'm looking for.

- Add the fucking option of "disallow all" on the cookie/let us share your data to people to make money pop up because right now it's or "accept" or "manage" and then for "manage" you not only have the pop up change but also have to scroll down soooo many shit and turn them all off one by one... And even if there's a "disallow all" at the bottom of it, it still made you go through one or two extra steps.

please keep thought experimenting with me!!!

This HIPAA Marketing Mistake Could Shut Down Your Private Practice 😱

Let’s get real for a minute. You didn’t go to med school to learn how to avoid federal fines, right? But if you’re running a private practice and trying to market it online — there’s one mistake that could literally shut everything down.

Spoiler: It’s got everything to do with HIPAA and how you manage patient info in your marketing.

What’s the Big Deal With HIPAA in Marketing?

HIPAA isn’t just about keeping files in locked cabinets anymore. It applies to every digital touchpoint — websites, emails, forms, chats, even your CRM.

👉 If you’re capturing patient emails or phone numbers through online forms...

👉 If you're using email marketing or running ads...

👉 If you're storing info in Google Sheets or an open CRM...

You’re potentially exposing Protected Health Information (PHI). And that’s where HIPAA comes in — hard.

One wrong step? 💥 You could be fined up to $50,000 PER DAY.

Yes, you read that right.

The Actual Marketing Mistake? Using Non-HIPAA-Compliant Tools

Here’s where most practices mess up 👇

They use regular platforms like:

Mailchimp (without HIPAA compliance)

Google Analytics

Facebook Lead Ads

Shared Gmail inboxes

Non-encrypted CRMs

These platforms aren’t built for HIPAA. That means they don’t protect PHI the way the law demands. And that means your practice is at risk — even if you’re just collecting basic contact info tied to health services.

What Dr. TJ Ahn Says About This

Dr. TJ Ahn, a podiatrist and coach who’s helped dozens of private practices grow, has one message:

“Most online marketers don’t even know what HIPAA is… But YOU are the one who pays the price.”

He’s seen it too often. Doctors use funnels, chatbots, or ad tools that are fast and flashy — but completely unsafe. That’s why he started building HIPAA-safe marketing funnels to protect clinics while helping them grow.

Our Solution at Business name 👩‍⚕️🛡️

We took Dr. Ahn’s warning seriously. That’s why we created HIPAA-safe marketing systems for clinics like yours.

At Business name, we:

Audit all your marketing tools (forms, emails, CRMs)

Replace risky platforms with HIPAA-compliant ones

Set up secure lead capture funnels

Handle Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)

Train your team to spot and avoid HIPAA risks

Monitor everything on an ongoing basis

So you can grow your practice without fear.

Our Products: “Marketing Mistake Can Shut Down”

We’ve even got two packages named after the mistake itself (for good reason):

✅ Marketing Mistake Can Shut Down – Audit

A full HIPAA safety check of your entire marketing stack.

Tool review ✅

BAA verification ✅

Encryption audit ✅

Team training materials ✅

✅ Marketing Mistake Can Shut Down – Funnel

A complete, managed, HIPAA-safe marketing funnel system.

Secure forms

Encrypted CRM

Automated emails (safe ones!)

24/7 monitoring

Both are designed to keep your practice running smoothly AND protect you from heavy penalties.

Real Talk: What Happens If You Ignore This?

Ignoring HIPAA in your marketing can lead to:

Federal investigations

Lawsuits from patients

Massive daily fines

Reputation damage

Lost revenue and trust

You might think it won’t happen to you. But violations are happening daily — and many are from simple marketing errors that seemed harmless at first.

💬 What even counts as PHI?

Basically, any info that links a person to a health service. Name + phone = PHI if it’s part of a foot pain consultation form, for example. You gotta treat it like gold. Lock it down.

💬 Can I still use Facebook & Google Ads?

Yes — carefully. You can run ads, but NEVER collect PHI directly through Facebook or use their forms. Always link to a secure landing page that’s HIPAA-compliant. No targeting based on health issues.

💬 What happens if I get audited?

Worst case: $50k per violation per day. Even one form or email can cost you. Plus, you’ll be forced to notify all affected patients. Not a good look.

💬 Can your team help with staff training?

Absolutely. Our packages include cheat sheets, scripts, and easy-to-follow guides. Your team will know exactly what to do — and what not to touch.

Why We’re Different

Business name was built by people who get it. We know how fast a small mistake can spiral into a big legal mess. We’ve studied Dr. TJ Ahn’s methods and brought his real-world experience into everything we build.

We’re not just marketers. We’re partners in your practice growth — and your legal safety.

Final Words (And a Friendly Warning 😅)

This isn’t about fear. It’s about responsibility. You care about your patients — and their privacy. But if your tools don’t follow HIPAA rules, you’re not just at risk…

You’re already in violation. 😬

Let’s fix that today.

👉 Reach out to Business name for a free HIPAA-safe marketing audit. 👉 We’ll help you avoid the “Marketing Mistake That Can Shut Down Your Practice”. 👉 Let’s protect your business, grow your revenue, and sleep better at night.

Is the Truth Social Network a Dud? #Christian #BibleStudy #Jesus https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/is-the-truth-social-network-a-dud/ IS THE "TRUTH SOCIAL" NETWORK A DUD? -- My Firsthand Experience With the Truth Social Network As I have mentioned before, it took almost two weeks for me to get into the "Truth Social" social network once I had registered with them on my iPhone during the first week of March of 2022. If I recall correctly, my wait list number was 1,090,253, or something close to that. I don't remember the exact number now. I made a Facebook timeline post regarding my initial experience with Truth Social around the middle of March. Oddly enough, I can no longer find that particular post on my Facebook timeline. Or maybe it isn't so odd, considering how Facebook chooses to operate. Many of you reading this commentary will already understand what I mean by this. Then, after my Truth Social account request had finally been approved during the second week of March -- it does require a lot of patience -- and I had gotten into their social platform, when they announced that they were going to begin verifying accounts so that users could have a red check mark displayed next to their name, I submitted a verification request for my account. Well, after a few days, I received an email from Truth Social in which they outlined the criteria which they use to determine whether or not to verify a person's account. Before proceeding, let me point out that joining Truth Social, and being a verified user, are two separate things. In other words, anyone can make an account request, be accepted into their social network, and make posts and interact with other users, without ever being verified. Being verified is an additional optional step which confirms that a person is who they say they are. As occurs on some other social networks, its purpose is to engender trust in that particular user so that other users will interact with them, and have confidence that the posts -- or truths -- which are being made are true, and are actually being posted by that person or entity. But here's the thing. What I have discovered thus far in my almost one month with Truth Social, is that insofar as verified accounts are concerned, the people behind Truth Social are really only interested in verifying high profile conservative influencers, such as Sean Hannity, Dan Bongino, Kevin McCarthy, Dan Scavino, Maria Bartiromo, Breitbart News and the like. Two of Trump's sons -- Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump -- also have verified accounts, as does Melania Trump. Even The Babylon Bee -- which a lot of people often quote, as if what the Bee says is true, when it is really all satire -- has a verified account there. Country music star Travis Tritt also has a verified Truth Social account. A few high profile personalities for whom I expected to find verified accounts when I just conducted my Truth Social search, but for whom I did NOT find verified accounts, include Ivanka Trump, Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Kayleigh McEnany and Kellyanne Conway. Conway does have a Truth Social account, but it is not a verified account. From reading certain news reports from recent months, what I also discovered is that prior to its official launch to the general public, the Truth Social team sent out special invitations to many high profile VIPs, encouraging them to join Truth Social. This endeavor even included sending out invitations to some of former president Donald Trump's most vocal critics. Oddly enough, even though Truth Social was specifically set up by and for former U.S. president, Donald Trump, so that he could have a free hand to express his views without any kind of censorship, to date, Trump himself has only made one post there. Weird. He -- and his views -- is supposed to be the main attraction and the magnet which draws millions of other conservatives to Truth Social; and yet the man hasn't even posted anything yet. I am not sure what to make of that. In contrast to the aforementioned VIPs, sad to say, my initial impression after one month's usage of the Truth Social network is that all the rest of us are viewed as small potatoes, and are basically ignored; meaning that we don't get much exposure -- if any at all -- on Truth Social. We most certainly will never be considered for a verified account. This became clear to me when I read the email which was sent to me by the Truth Social staff, which just so happens to have "@vip.truthsocial.com" in the email address. In my view, this email basically says to me "You are not important enough." Following are the full contents of the email. Decide for yourself if I am wrong: ----- Begin Quote ----- A red check on TRUTH Social lets users know that an account of public interest is genuine and not an imposter, impersonation, or parody. In order to receive a red check your account must be authentic, active on TRUTH Social, and noteworthy. We will consider noteworthy people and organizations in the following categories: * Government * Brands, companies, and nonprofits * Journalists and news organizations * Sports (including esports) * Entertainment * Activists, influencers, and organizers For an account to be verified, you must be an active user of TRUTH Social. TRUTH Social users will be considered active users upon completion of the following steps: * Your account must have a complete profile name with a profile image. * Your phone number and email address must be confirmed. * Your account must be actively posting content. To be verified on TRUTH Social, you will be asked to provide the following information to confirm your identity: * An official website that confirms you or your organization’s identity. * A valid official government issued identification document, like a passport or driver’s license. * An official email (i.e., a branded email address that matches your official website). Or * Announce on your verified Twitter or Instagram account where users can find you on TRUTH Social. The announcement must not be removed for six months. ----- End Quote ----- To prove my point, consider the fact that even though I have been a member of Truth Social for about a month now; and even though I have made over sixty posts thus far, many of which are my politically-oriented poetry, some of which even support Donald Trump; and even though I have openly declared that I am a Christian in my user profile; to date, I have only acquired four followers. That's right, folks; only four people in a month's time. I don't know any of them on a personal level. For all I know, some of them may not even be real people. They could be bots. Furthermore, even though I have advertised my Truth Social account on Facebook multiple times, none of my 5,000 Facebook friends have joined me on Truth Social. As if the previous points aren't already enough to discourage my ongoing participation on the Truth Social platform, consider the fact that no one has liked, commented on, or shared -- what Truth Social calls "retruth" -- any of my posts. It is as if no one is even seeing them, just as now occurs on Facebook. After all, it seems to me that if other Truth Social users were actually seeing my posts, surely I would have received at least a few likes and comments by now. Yet I have yet to receive a single one. Why do I believe this? Because as I mentioned earlier, I have specifically shared poetry -- as well as some graphics, videos and commentaries -- which are clearly conservative and/or Christian in nature. Unless I am wrong, conservatism is supposed to be a strong attractor on Truth Social. So why aren't the fish biting? The discouraging truth of the matter is that the ONLY interaction I have seen, is when I have commented on OTHER users' posts, and those other users happen to be big name accounts such as Sean Hannity, NASA, Cute Animals Doing Stuff, Science Videos, etc. In case you have missed one of my main points, it is this: It should not matter if a person is a VIP, high profile politician, popular social influencer, well-known celebrity or not. If any individual is willing to provide whatever proof the Truth Social network requires in order to verify that they are who they say they are, then Truth Social should be willing to verify their account. By failing to do so, and by only verifying VIP accounts, they are in fact already practicing discrimination, and dividing their users into different classes on their network. They are creating an elite class, and a peon class, and they are no better than any other social network which does the same thing. This ought not to be, in my opinion. So the aforementioned has been my personal experience on the Truth Social social network thus far. Unless the situation changes soon, I honestly cannot justify spending a lot of time on their platform. As bad as Facebook has become for those of us who embrace Conservative and Christian values, it still gives me more exposure -- as little as it may be -- than Truth Social, and that is not saying a lot for Facebook either. https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/is-the-truth-social-network-a-dud/?Is%20the%20Truth%20Social%20Network%20a%20Dud%3F

3-Way Matching vs. 2-Way Matching: Which is Right for Your Accounts Payable Workflow?

When it comes to managing accounts payable efficiently, ensuring accuracy and preventing fraud are top priorities. Two common practices that help achieve this are 2-way matching and 3-way matching. While both methods are essential for verifying vendor invoices before payment, understanding the differences between them can help businesses choose the right approach for their workflow.

In this blog, we’ll explore what 2-way and 3-way matching are, how they work, their benefits, and when to use each method to streamline your accounts payable process.

What is 2-Way Matching in Accounts Payable?

2-way matching involves comparing two documents before approving an invoice for payment:

Purchase Order (PO)

Vendor Invoice

In this process, the accounts payable team ensures that the details (such as item description, quantity, and price) on the invoice match the purchase order. If everything aligns, the invoice is approved and processed for payment.

When to use 2-way matching:

When there is a high level of trust with the supplier

For recurring purchases with minimal variance

When fast processing is more important than strict verification

What is 3-Way Matching in Accounts Payable?

3-way matching adds an additional layer of verification by including a third document:

Purchase Order (PO)

Vendor Invoice

Goods Receipt or Delivery Note

The goal is to verify that the goods or services were actually received in the correct quantity and condition. This step minimizes the risk of paying for items not received or for inaccurate invoices.

When to use 3-way matching:

For large or complex purchases

When dealing with new or unverified vendors

In industries with strict compliance or auditing requirements

Key Differences Between 2-Way and 3-Way Matching

Feature2-Way Matching3-Way MatchingDocuments ComparedPO and InvoicePO, Invoice, and Goods ReceiptAccuracy LevelModerateHighRisk of ErrorsHigher (no verification of receipt)Lower (verifies delivery of goods/services)Processing TimeFasterSlightly Slower (extra verification step)Best forLow-risk or recurring purchasesHigh-value or new vendor transactions

Which Matching Process is Best for Your Workflow?

Choosing between 2-way and 3-way matching depends on your business goals, the volume of transactions, vendor relationships, and the level of risk you’re willing to accept.

If your priority is speed and simplicity, and you trust your vendors, 2-way matching may be sufficient.

If your priority is accuracy and fraud prevention, especially for high-value purchases, 3-way matching is the better choice.

Many modern accounts payable software platforms allow you to customize your matching process per vendor or purchase category, giving you the flexibility to balance speed and security.

Automating the Matching Process with AP Software

Manual matching can be time-consuming and error-prone. Automating 2-way and 3-way matching using accounts payable automation software helps to:

Reduce human errors

Speed up invoice processing

Maintain audit trails

Improve vendor relationships through timely payments

Investing in smart AP solutions ensures consistency, compliance, and peace of mind—no matter which matching method you use.

Final Thoughts

Both 2-way and 3-way matching play vital roles in improving the accounts payable process. Understanding when and how to use each method allows your finance team to operate more efficiently while reducing risk. Whether you're a growing business or an established enterprise, the right matching strategy can significantly impact your bottom line.

US Delegation Aims for Black Sea Ceasefire in Ukraine, Russia Talks

A U.S. delegation will seek progress toward a Black Sea ceasefire and a broader cessation of violence in the war in Ukraine when it meets for talks with Russian officials on Monday, after discussions with diplomats from Ukraine on Sunday.

The so-called technical talks come as U.S. President Donald Trump intensifies his drive for a halt to Russia's three-year-old assault against Ukraine. Last week, he spoke with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A source briefed on the planning for the talks said the U.S. side was being led by Andrew Peek, a senior director at the White House National Security Council, and Michael Anton, a senior State Department official.

They met the Ukrainians on Sunday night and plan to sit down with the Russians on Monday.

The White House says the aim of the talks is to reach a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, allowing the free flow of shipping.

White House national security adviser Mike Waltz told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday that the U.S., Russian and Ukrainian delegations were assembled in the same facility in Riyadh.

Beyond a Black Sea ceasefire, he said, the teams will discuss "the line of control" between the two countries, which he described as "verification measures, peacekeeping, freezing the lines where they are." He said "confidence-building measures" are being discussed, including the return of Ukrainian children taken by Russia.

Russia will be represented by Grigory Karasin, a former diplomat who is now chair of the Federation Council's Foreign Affairs Committee, and Sergei Beseda, an adviser to the director of the Federal Security Service.

Ukraine's defense minister, Rustem Umerov, the head of the Ukrainian delegation, said on Facebook that the U.S.-Ukraine talks included proposals to protect energy facilities and critical infrastructure.

After Russian forces made gains in 2024, Trump reversed U.S. policy on the war, launching bilateral talks with Moscow and suspending military assistance to Ukraine, demanding that it take steps to end the conflict.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, who met Putin in Moscow in early March, played down concerns among Washington's NATO allies that Moscow could be emboldened by a deal and invade other neighbors.

"I just don't see that he wants to take all of Europe. This is a much different situation than it was in World War Two, Witkoff told Fox News.

"I feel that he wants peace," Witkoff said of Putin.

SOMEWHAT UNDER CONTROL

Trump has long promised to end Europe's deadliest conflict since World War Two. But his outreach to Putin has unnerved European allies, who fear it heralds a fundamental shift after 80 years in which defending Europe from Russian expansionism was the core mission of U.S. foreign policy.

The war has killed or wounded hundreds of thousands of people, displaced millions and reduced entire towns to rubble.

Putin, whose forces invaded Ukraine in February 2022, said earlier this month he supported in principle Washington's proposal for a truce but that his forces would fight on until several crucial conditions were worked out.

Heorhii Tykhyi, a Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said on Friday the Ukrainian and American sides were due "to clarify the modalities, the nuances of possible different ceasefire regimes, how to monitor them, how to control them, in general, what is included in their scope."

Last Tuesday, Putin agreed to Trump's proposal for Russia and Ukraine to stop attacks on each other's energy infrastructure for 30 days and ordered the Russian military to cease them.

The agreement fell short, however, of a wider agreement that the U.S. had sought, and which Kyiv backed, for a blanket 30-day truce in the war.

Trump said on Saturday that efforts to stop further escalation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict were "somewhat under control."

The U.S. hopes to reach a broad ceasefire within weeks, targeting a truce agreement by April 20, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the planning.

Despite all the diplomatic activity, Russia and Ukraine have both reported continued strikes, while Russian forces have also continued to advance slowly in eastern Ukraine, a region Moscow claims to have annexed.
