  • Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton

  • If I'm on my laptop, and the 2fa code shows on that same laptop, it defeats the purpose of it. The point is sortation of security privileges, ask this just adds more work while providing no less security to the device. It does protect you from remote compromise, though.

  • Yeah, Apple 2FA is infuriating, especially since you can do all factors from the same device. Kind of defeats the purpose of traditional 2FA/MFA. Also, companies that decide you 2FA experience has to use their app, instead of a standards-compliant TOTP app of your choosing....ugh.

  • How can I block a websites location data request, so it doesn't keep asking?

    Jump

  • Turning this off is one of the first things I do after install. Never had an issue.

  • To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

    Jump

  • I don’t work any more productively with more screens. The distraction outweighs the benefits for me.

    Jump

  • I'm more productive than anyone else on my team, and would argue more productive than the majority of people in my whole department. I use a single 28" monitor.

    Jump

  • Go to Firefox Settings, search "location", click the first button in results (Permissions > Location heading), check the box to block all new requests and save it, never worry about this again on any site.

  • Nuclear fusion experiment sets record for time at 100 million degrees Celsius

    Jump

  • I'm honestly more impressed about that last line, running at 70 million for 17.5 minutes. Duration/stability being the key to this tech, that's pretty impressive.

  • Majority of Americans now use ad blockers

    Jump

  • Ad tech IS the tracking, so if you're not blocking ads, you're not actually refusing said tracking. I think you might be conflating cookies with being tracking (they are), but that's only a part of it.

  • I'm giving them a year until lifetime licenses start to mean nothing.

    Jump

  • The only time I ever fell for a "lifetime" software purchase was back when Trillian (the IM client) was popular. That lasted less than 5 years. Then they released "Astas", which was just a UI refresh, but they treated it like it was a whole new company and product. "Lifetime" is always a scam.

  • AI is creating fake historical photos, and that's a problem

    Jump

  • I just listened to the Criminal podcast on that, recently. Fascinating cultural moment.

  • Supreme Court won't hear appeal of private school that wouldn't let Muslim students pray

    Jump

  • Wow, I can understand barring the prayer on campus, but kicking them out for the following year is pretty harsh.

  • Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent

    Jump

  • I just went in and manually edited my display name to my previous asshole of a boss. Two can play this game. If they want to get rid of anonymous content, then let them deal with poisoned content.

    Team Blind is decent, at least in the tech sector.

  • Gambia Votes to Overturn Landmark Ban on Female Genital Cutting

    Jump

  • I wonder why all these news outlets are avoiding the use of the word mutilation, at least in headlines.

  • Biden backs Schumer after senator calls for new elections in Israel

    Jump

  • No doubt

  • Cory Doctorow gets scammed

    Jump

  • I didn’t know that either but I’d also never divulge that info on an inbound phone call.

  • Automakers Are Sharing Consumers’ Driving Behavior With Insurance Companies

    Jump

  • "Sharing" is a funny way to word a headline. They are selling it, for a profit, because it's legal. It's immoral and shady as hell, but "prevent it or expect it" applies here.

  • Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025

    Jump

  • Well that sucks

  • Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025

    Jump

  • Maybe a ChromeOS machine? It doesn't get more simple to use than that.

  • Biden to announce US will build port on Gaza shore for large-scale aid delivery

    Jump

  • Did they find oil in Gaza? /s

    But for real though, if/when Israel bombs a US-built humanitarian shipping port, will the US finally stop supplying bombs?
