if there are no psychics, then how do you explain my grandmother who is always able to pop up with the exact wrong thing to do, in the exact wrong moment, to completely ruin my mood and day.
I swear I could be across the country and wake up at 3am for some time to myself (no not like that, pervert), and before I even swing a leg out of bed my phone will be ringing and it’d be her.
I mean, you are disagreeing with facts.
Cause not only is if factually real, it has factually happened,
FBI kinda screwed up the case against one of the Jan6ers by forcing them to unlock their phone by forcing their thumb onto their phone. . Granted, it was appealed and the court declared it a violation of 5th amendment (which is great in general, even if it unfortunately helps a Jan6er).
and there have been numerous other instances of police and authorities have done the same thing, it was not an uncommon practice before that court ruling… and to be honest, with how power abusive police are, its probably still not that uncommon.
So you can disagree all you want. but its happening every day. Biometrics are security theater, not actual security.
edit This isnt conservative media, downvoting doesnt make facts become unfacts, lol.
This is why the up/downvote systems are so toxic and ruin human interaction. It allows people to carve out their own imaginary realities/echochambers, by “punishing” things they don’t like and pushing them down, so they don’t have to see them anymore… And once you hit a critical mass, people just stop even reading and thinking and just join in on the group think with blind downvotes.
This gamification is ruining human social ability and creating people who don’t have the basic means of self control to deal with being wrong, or with contrary opinions, or anything.
It’s much easier to steal cash than to force someone to unlock a device and make a payment, so yes it is more secure.
and with biometics, its not hard at all, you just force their finger onto the scanner/hold their camera infront of their face… and hell they probably dont even have to be alive to do it, and you’ve got full access to do everything on their phone. instead of stealing 5 bucks out of their wallet, you’ve now got access to any and all banking shit on their phone.
Biometrics are not more secure, because you can be forced to give it against your will.
Fingerprint? They can force your finger onto the scanner.
Eye scan/Face Scan? They can put you in a headlock and hold the phone infront of you.
You cant be manhandled into typing a password.
Biometic security is convenience, not security.
Need another Roosevelt to come along and take an anti-monopoly hammer to these big companies and shatter them into pieces
Good.
Fuck google. I just wish the other 5 billion people obsessed with it would do the same. Company is one of many that deserve to die.
Exactly. Its what these companies do every time.
and there will be no punishment for it, because people are too lazy and stupid to stop using google, and government is to feckless and useless to properly hold megacorps accountable.
Bet they’ll be “punished” by a 5 million dollar fine (which is like, couch money to google, and would probably be 0.005% of the money they made from doing it)
Same, dude. Same.
That era of internet was special, more special than any that has followed.
Movies arent typically made by google.
Child nudity, even if its medically necessary, is 100% enough for google to delete everything you have with them and to call the police on you, labeling you a pedophile.
the world would be a lot better if people went back to sitting at desks to use the computer/internet.
Further reason to avoid google’s shit like the fuckin plague.
The videos are never associated with a user’s identity and are deleted after the verification process. Audio is never recorded.
My fat fucking ass do any of this. Google is just as data hungry as everyone else, they will absolutely save it, and feed it to their AI to enhance their ability to generate realistic people.
oh my god, that website almost caused my heart to stop because of the intense late 90s angelfire/geocities vibe in the design.
I am in fuckin love.
Yeah, wtf is wrong with Mamdani.
Doesnt he know hes supposed to make big promises, then do none of it while giving handies to CEOs in his office before selling his citizens out for literal pennies per person?
Just cause lots of people call something X, doesnt mean its X.
Otherwise Trump would be a literal god. And web forums would actually be social media.
First of all, Don’t blatantly lie about the very thing you are linking to. It is not listed as social media.
They simply say some people (mostly idiots) refer to it as social media.
So thats already points on you for intentionally and willfully misrepresenting information.
Also the entire article is bunk cause it calls Mozilla and Minecraft social media. Which is stupid. Because Mozilla is a fucking company that makes a browser, and Minecraft is a goddamn game.
Second of all, You can wrongly refer to something as social media all you want.
I can write Fuck You on a brick and throw it through your window, and just because I Call it Macaroni refer to it as social media, doesnt magically make it social media.
I mean if people can figure out bot accounts and make lists of them just by looking at them, I’m pretty sure the companies that see 25000 accounts all connect from the same IP address can figure it out.
Its a webforum, not a social media.
Social media is places that revolve around shit in your real life no one cares about. Facebook, Instagram,Tiktok,Etc.
and a large part of that is the up/down vote systems, and other gamifications of human interaction.
And they’ve spread out of social media into many other website types.
All it does is extremify human interaction and is a major component in why we’re at the point we are right now with right wing extremism and fascism on the rise.
Get rid of these systems, and let people just communicate with eachother without having to appeal to a hive mind to tell people who gave up thinking if somethings good or bad based on votes/reactions/etc
Of course, because reading is hard and why read when you can have the gamified systems tell you good from bad, to save those pesky brain meats from all the thinky hurts.
