  • U.S. "Know Your Customer" Proposal Will Put an End to Anonymous Cloud Users

    Jump

  • "Security by obscurity" is very much an end user "i don't need to harden my server/accounts because nobody would bother hacking me" attitude and is really is "dumb as fuck"

    But KYC is just expanded due diligence before providing services, thats why I thought it as privacy issue as to why someone would be against it as opposed to it security wise.

    I still don't see how you've gotten from that to "nationally enforced security by obscurity" though

  • U.S. "Know Your Customer" Proposal Will Put an End to Anonymous Cloud Users

    Jump

  • This is more of a privacy failure than a security failure. I don't see how purchasing services via an alias could be considered security

  • Reddit embracing all out enshittification

    Jump

  • It took me months to delete all my content, as the API tools I was using (power delete suite) can’t access subs that are still dark. It took a bunch of manual deletions, additional scans with the tools and occasional googling of my username but I think I’ve got it all now.

    I came to Reddit initially for the human conversation. The fediverse will benefit in that it’s never going to be a commercial product and so the human conversation will be the number one priority. Even as corporate entities like meta try to join, users can just tune them out by blocking threads.net on their account, or switching to instances that have defed from them.

  • Nintendo vs. Garry's Mod: Dissecting the 'Fake' Domain Behind All the Chaos

    Jump

  • That’s exactly what the article is about. It basically points out that mm-nintendo.com domain is owned by MarkMonitor the brand reputation firm that also owns a bunch of mm-{brand name}.com domains. And basically points out that while it does look like it seems like a scam domain, it really isn’t

  • Reddit embracing all out enshittification

    Jump

  • It was obvious that Reddit wasn’t changing course at all. Especially with how they handled communication with Christian Selig and other 3rd party devs.

    I came here during the blackout and deleted all my content on my account. The last day Apollo worked was the last day I used Reddit and I was a Reddittor since 3/10/2011

    If there was better mod organization we could have better translations for the non tech and piracy related communities but I’m overall happy how we ended up.

  • Spurred by Teen Girls, States Move to Ban Deepfake Nudes

    Jump

  • If the prompt includes “Taylor swift” or an image of her. Then it doesn’t matter if the AI slightly changed it, it used her likeness to generate the image and so she should have rights to the image and the ability to claim damages.

    The same thing should apply to using deepfake porn AIs to make non consensual nudes of private person, or heck manually creating nonconsensual deepfake nudes should also fall under the same definition

  • Apple AirPods are designed to die: Here’s what you should know

    Jump

  • My AirPods are still going strong after getting them in 2018. 🤷‍♂️ obviously doesn’t discount the stories for those who they didn’t work for. I also had to do a warranty exchange on them after a week from my original pair because they just randomly unpaired and wouldn’t pair to any device any more so that points to some QC issues for sure

  • Parents of lemmy, at what age did/would you give a smartphone to your kids ?

    Jump

  • I agree, because these posts have reach beyond just Lemmy, it’s the whole fediverse. No need to address just one platform

  • MKBHD - Do Bad Reviews Kill Companies?

    Jump

  • Maybe the people who lose their job when they go under. That being said we shouldn’t prop up a bad business just because people might lose their livelihood

  • YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps

    Jump

  • We also deploy a browser extension via GPO/Intune to catch those and protect endpoints when they are off net.

    I actually wasn’t in favor of that but the rest of team was so after risk assessing it, we determined that trusting a vendor with the permission to rewrite webpages was less of a risk than drive-by malware or phishing/redirection from a malicious ad

  • YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps

    Jump

  • I’d agree with that logic if YouTube kept up their end of the bargain and actually vetted their ad buyers. Instead they show ads for fake stimulus scams, fake news, and blatant malware.

    I manage a large network and ads are blocked at the edge of the network. Not using an adblocker is a security risk that is not acceptable for my company. I pay for YouTube premium because it’s in my means and I get value from the subscription but I don’t blame anyone who takes the same approach

  • What todo app are you using?

    Jump

  • I just use the reminders app on my iPhone, I tried a bunch of other apps. But it was the integration on my watch, Mac, iPad, etc that just made that option the most ideal, despite lacking features of some the otbers

  • Please drink verification can

    Jump

  • Wonder if they used to sell these at Michaelsoft Binbows

  • Why AI is going to be a shitshow.

    Jump

  • Isn’t depicting Muhammad offensive to Muslims? That part makes sense at least.

  • Fake Photos, Real Harm: AOC and the Fight Against AI Porn

    Jump

  • And they could counter sue you for distributing it to them and you’d probably lose

  • Removed

    Why are black people still Christian?

    Jump

  • Many slaves were Christians while they were in the bondage of slavery.

    If you look at the macro you can find religion being used to further oppression, violence, and see that many of its adherents profess bigoted beliefs.

    But on the micro level, if you were to ask these people their experience with their religion they’d likely point to their church as a community that accepted them, that fed and clothed them if they were needy, that contributed to the parks or schools their children go too.

    Not everyone has negative experiences with religion. Religion isn’t inherently evil. Religion is flawed in that it’s practiced by humans who are flawed. Don’t take this as an excuse for the harm that people have done in the name of religion. Both the good and bad are a product of people.

    Governments further oppression and violence as much as organized religion does and yet we don’t think we ought to get rid of democracy. If you think that if you removed religion that the human race would stop being shitty, I would have to say that is a naive belief.

    People should be able to practice their culture and religion as so far as it doesn’t impede on others’ liberty. Asking why X group is X religion is small-minded in my opinion.

  • Regarding sublinks and feeling concerned about what is going on with it

    Jump

  • Your community on koala’s is available on Lemmy, M/Kbin, and sublinks if the host sites are all federated. You just create it on the platform you like to use, if you end up switching to using sublinks in the future you could always make your sublinks account a mod on the community and access it from sublinks

  • Go cloud native they said...

    Jump

  • I’d you just try to “lift and shift” to the cloud instead of engineering a solution that fits your needs, then you won’t find cost savings or risk reduction (and like you mentioned in the meme, vendor lock in can even increase risk) which makes it pointless, it does have its place but it’s often a ham fisted and half baked bill of goods sold to the bean counters instead of the infrastructure and dev teams and is worse in the long run

  • Iphone users of Lemmy, people say not to trust you on tech insights. What say you?

    Jump

  • Who says that? Seems kind of silly to put some one in a box based on their phone OS preference
