Schools are surveilling kids. (Full stop)
I think it’s important to ask some basic questions to all affected school district superintendents.
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.

Large Language Models don’t reason either. The idea that Artificial General Intelligence will come from LLMs is pure fallacy to drive stock price. When it is eventually announced that some company claims to have achieved AGI via LLMs, it will just be another arbitrary milestone that moves the goalposts more.
You know, you can be critical of a government without using racist slurs against the people from that country. Not everyone from China is part of the CCP.
I love kagi but I don’t think it actively filters out ai generated content.
I know when searching for pictures you can disable AI generated images.
I think the hard part for a search engine is that unless there is some kind of identifying mark on the content, how do they know that an ai didn’t write a top 10 list of pastebin alternatives?
Also, fuck Google. I’ve been removing the word from my lexicon. I say, let me search (or research) that instead
Great list, I would just suggest to recognize all dark patterns. It’s not like only shopping sites use them.
It can be really good for text to speech and speech to text applications for disabled or people with learning disabilities.
However it gets really funny and weird when it tries to read advanced mathematics formulas.
I have also heard decent arguments for translation although in most cases it would still be better to learn the language or use a professional translator.
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.
