lurch (he/him)

this is complete bullshit and relies on a well trained AI, but users, websites and browser setups are too different for it to reliably work in the wild.

this is the whole fingerprinting overreaction all over again.

idk from my perspective he’s trying to show them how they really are. beauty is in the eye of the beholder

misleading title

I’d say call front desk and let them patch you to IT support.

Also, btw my company has only guest wifi. (Workstations use wired LAN.) It’s not connected to the actual company network. It’s for visitors/customers, so they can use their notebooks/tablets while negotiating deals etc… It can also be used to do things like that, as long as it doesn’t interfere with customers.

Holy shit. 29 months. wth are they doing at google. Too busy adding stupid AI features?

Since they removed the public post, it seems like a mistake it was published. Still, why is it not fixed. That’s a long time.

* proceeds to give them more and more fake data and notes it in the password manager *

Of course, I remember my first pets name. Good ol’ F^5.zkU.[x&J!F4w/d!9dT#,ejNZjWyp*. Such a good boy.

This post basically says it was just extortion: https://lemmy.zip/post/63741123

My guess is they want to delay updates, so they have more time to exploit vulnerabilities of systems that are overdue with updates and can’t because of the attack.

yeah, i assumed a scheme where one doesn’t get thrown under the bus 😄

oh, i see. thx for the clarification

I disagree. It’s very difficult to make money like that. A bit easier is bug bounties, but a real fixed income job is much more easy. Another, smaller problem is limited payment options with crypto. It means you’d have launder it into real money.

It’s not detected or mitigated, because it’s nothing bad. People can use whatever data formats or file formats they want. This is just another weird data format.

lol, they can track the IMEI. the phone component still works without the SIM, for example to make emergency calls. that means it is still able to connect to cell towers and you can still triangulate it’s position to some degree.

I’m afraid, you’ll have to cut the phone in half instead. can’t be helped.

that depends on what you think is honest. maybe the ppl think repeating this discussion again is boring and they dislike it. don’t take it personally. you are not your content.

btw mastodon and bluesky don’t have downvotes. i think ppl who are here instead on those, decided this way is better. i for one left mastodon in favor of lemmy.

“only upvotes” don’t help as much, because you get a gap where ppl don’t like it. you can only use ppl who like it to sort, which may be much less than ppl who dislike it.

also, once downvoted from many ppl, fewer ppl see the content and it gets less downvotes.

actually downvotes give less “power to aasholes”, because otherwise ppl can post their evil shit like on xitter and they and the algorithm assume silence=agreement, even though agreeing takes only one tap while disagreeing requires writing a comment. this emboldens the “assholes”. they get little to no feedback ppl don’t like it. on top of it, there are ways/algos to sort by number of comments. so if ppl actually dislike it so much to write a comment, it pushes the bad post up on these rankings, shoving the horrible stuff in even more ppls faces.

don’t forget that downvotes mostly help with sorting. they don’t mean “this is wrong”. they mean the reader didn’t like it and it should be sorted further down or even start collapsed. it can just be a highly unpopular or disgusting truth ppl want to swipe under the rug. it can also be totally irrelevant or link/quote sites ppl don’t like and want to reduce traffic to or be forgotten (reddit, xitter, fb come to mind)

it’s just a quick feedback that can help the community.

looool. WhatsApp is from Meta. It is the Spyware 😂

yes, because you can kill a hundred thousand gestapo officers and all it does is get your strongest fighters killed, but start at the nazi leadership and you’re done in a week.

if you want to show those in power, why do you attack the goon meatwaves they specifically created to wear you out?
