New EUCJ decision: storing two fingerprints on the chip of an identity document is acceptable but needs updates to the legal framework. Note that the decision is only about storing them on the chip. Not a free pass to store all fingerprints in one big database. Press release: https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2024-03/cp240050en.pdf Decision text not yet published.
> Digital Identities aren’t something unique to the fediverse and it’s not something Mastodon could stop if they wanted to. Nomadic identity is coming to the internet. The only question is who is going to own your identity. VISA/Mastercard, your government, Google, Microsoft, or you.

Self-Made Creating Our Identities from Da Vinci to the Kardashians by Tara Isabella Burton
In a technologically-saturated era where nearly everything can be effortlessly and digitally reproduced, we're all hungry to carve out our own unique personalities, our own bespoke personae, to stand out and be seen.
The #ConservativePartnershipInstitute (#CPI) has become a breeding ground for the next generation of #Trump loyalists & an incubator for policies he might pursue. Its fast growth is raising questions.
Mitchell was among ~150 #conservative#donors …who gathered …to celebrate the ascendancy of a group that has become a well-paying sinecure for #Trump allies & an incubator for the policies TFG could pursue if elected. The participants toted gift bags in the sunshine & swapped golf clothes for business attire at a dinner where they applauded as 2 Black speakers— #BenCarson …& Rep #ByronDonalds of FL —extolled conservative values while condemning the racial #identity#politics of the #left.
Give @julian#Github comment some good reactions to show the folks of the #W3C Federated Identity CG that there's more than #BigTech#identity providers to take into account..
#NexBenedict, #Oklahoma#nonbinary teen died after #school fight amid reported #bullying
…The [statement] from the school district provided some background: The fight on Feb 7 involved several students at the HS. It was broken up by other students & a staff member. All of those involved “walked under their own power to the asst principal’s office & nurse’s office” &, per “district protocols,” were evaluated by the nurse.
#Owasso is a Tulsa suburb of about 40k in the NE corner of #Oklahoma, a #conservative state where #LGBTQ+ issues are lightning rods of controversy.
Last year, #Republican Gov #KevinStitt signed an executive order defining an individual’s sex as the “biological sex” at birth. Laws took effect requiring students to use bathrooms that match their sex assigned at birth & restricting #gender-affirming care for trans youths.
This year, [Oklahoma] legislators already have proposed >50 anti-LGBTQ+ laws — more than any other state, according to the ACLU.
The man who heads #PublicEducation in #Oklahoma is also a vocal critic of #LGBTQ+ rights. Superintendent #RyanWalters appointed #ChayaRaichik — the #conservative activist behind #LibsOfTikTok, which has targeted LGBTQ-friendly teachers at #Owasso schools — to a state library advisory board.
"As Amira and Nadya neared graduation and aged out of the grift that had kept them going for years, they transitioned from Inuit wunderkinds to inspiring Inuit entrepreneurs."
Identity re-use, especially a mastodon account to login to a lemmy server
This would solve so many problems! There are parts of the fediverse where that works, but these are small parts today. Can we make them larger? Join Don and the community to discuss this at https://fediforum.org in March?
“The Heart Knows its Own Bitterness”: Authority, Self, and the Origins of Patient Autonomy in Early Jewish Law
Ayelet Libson, Am. J. Legal History (2016)
"This article examines the pre-modern conflict between these principles, revealing how the early tradition of Jewish law sustained different models of expertise, authority and personal autonomy."
"I propose that the increasing autonomy granted to individuals to govern their own bodies should be seen as part of the Late Antique emphasis on expressing the self by the choices taken under the duress of hardship. Self-knowledge became a central concern, fully attainable only by making moral choices under circumstances of suffering."
For user accounts that have enabled multifactor authentication, how do you handle self-service password resets? On online platforms, it is usually possible to reset the password via email. I think that is fine for accounts that don't use multifactor authentication. But what if a user logs in with their phone number (They have no email, just the phone) and use text message as their second factor? Sending a password reset code via text message would be a bit stupid. This would mean that the user doesn't really have two-factor authentication if you can reset the first-factor with the second-factor.
I do currently not allow self-service password resets if a user has multifactor enabled. They are required to get in contact with customer support in that case. For our use-case this is ok, but it's obviously not very user-friendly. However, I don't really see a solution in the case where the phone number is the primary identifier and second-factor. I am interested in some thoughts on the topic.
