Its a private platform. They can do what ever they want.

Politicians and other public services should stop using it while they still can.

What are peoples thoughts on simplex?

Man, i loved my old Pebble. It’s amazing they never made any wearable as good.

But I’m not going to buy a new piece of consumer tech while I’m researching how to destroy fascism from the bottom up.

Anything to avoid laying fiber.

Its not for people to buy. Companies like Google simply don’t need to make profit anymore.

Its to show growth potential to investors. And when they inevitably cut the program, it will also show growth potential to investors since then it will be millions of dollars saved.

Takes a look behind the curtain because I like cool things like “advanced tech”, noticed it’s just poorly payed contractors being taken advantage of and discouraged from unionizing.

Schools are surveilling kids. (Full stop)

I think it’s important to ask some basic questions to all affected school district superintendents.

1. Why is the school resorting to surveilling my child?
2. What data is collected on my child?
3. Who do the schools share my child’s information with?
4. How is my child’s data collected?
5. When is my child’s data deleted?

I’m sure you an come up with more.

I’m glad he did, now there is a clear line from when it was acceptable to when it wasn’t.

The USA probably won’t rebrand when its a fully fascist state.

Well again, the claim was that somehow passkeys would stop Lemmy from being flooded by bots.

So in that situation, we aren’t talking about hacking. We are simply talking about if a login could be triggered programmatically. So if Lemmy required passkeys to be used instead of passwords. And if the passkeys required scanning a QR code to sign in. I imagine It would provide minimal disruption to an automated login.

Now if the passkeys somehow enforced a real human to do something that only a human could do, then yes it would stop an automated registration/login. However if it’s possible to automate then it wouldn’t stop bots.

Oh I don’t know what it is, sorry I thought I made that clear. But a quick search on the internet said it was basically 2fa with a qr code and since the issue was how it would protect Lemmy from bots I just thought it wouldn’t be hard for a bot to read a qr code.

Insane

Consider buying a previous generation card. You can sometimes find good deals on used ones.

Oh, you can easily bypass passkeys with automation. Don’t even need an image recognition model, just a QR-code scanner like zbarimg.

But i never tried googles passkey feature since it never seemed as secure as a 48 char computer generated password. So I’m not sure exactly how it works.

What would you propose replace passwords to not be susceptible to those things?

I personally like how secure and non intrusive passwords are, especially when using a self hosted password manager synced with git.

Why IronFox over fennec?

Privacy policies should legally be called surveillance policies.

The funny thing about qr codes for restaurant menus to me, as someone that studied menu design. Is that actual menus are designed specific ways make the restaurant more profit and make it easier for people to find what they want. Whereas qr codes often bring one to a hastily designed list of categories which are not only less intuitive but also less manipulative. So people will end up taking longer to order less profitable dishes.

If you don’t have a smart phone in the US, even temporally, your almost a second class citizen.

Then if you don’t install corporate apps on your phone, there are even more problems for you.

an American permutation of the CCP’s WeChat app model where the American government has final and singular authority to monitor and surveil all payments, domestic travel and communications of American citizens.
