luthis,

Already happened in China in 1958, but I don’t believe ballots were involved…

Israel quietly rolled out a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip (www.theverge.com)

Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company...

luthis,

centering the mouse on the game

Maybe I’m missing something, but… why is this a problem? You can just like, move the mouse to where you want it?

I can’t replicate this issue on mine. I recently somehow broke Gnome (again) during an update, so I finally went back to a tiling WM (awesome this time). I start the game in a separate desktop, and then when I need to do things outside of the game, I just change to another desktop using the keyboard shortcuts. Pretty sure this is possible in all WM/DEs on Linux.

luthis,

Apple will make you pay for anything apparently

luthis,

Being a monarch or some kind of royalty seems to be excellent financially and often overlooked.

luthis, (edited )

Define ‘strength’… against a dictionary attack? Brute force? Social engineering? ‘forgotten password/recovery questions’ hack? Stolen session cookie? Keyloggers?

If you’re not aware of the above, take some time to learn about each of those things and how good security practices counter each one.

The question is kind of like, ‘can you bake a cake?’ … probably yes, but it’s really missing a lot of essential information, like what kind of oven, what ingredients do you have, what’s your skill level, do you have arms, etc.

Any ‘passphrase’ can be secure or insecure, depending on the other surrounding factors. 2FA solves many security weaknesses.

luthis,

It doesn’t matter in the slightest if you use 2FA.

luthis,

Brute force is only a thing when either they have the password hash, or the login portal is susceptible to brute force (ie shite). Both cases are rare.

luthis,

using sufficiently long passwords is your best defense

No, using 2FA is your best defense, along with wise recovery questions. It matters nothing if you know someone’s password, but can’t get the 2FA code.

luthis,

I’m super keen to try this. Can anyone chime in on mesh optimisation (etc) though? I have very little knowledge on modelling/texturing/UV mapping/etc, but I do know that a shitty mesh just means someone is going to have to model it again by hand.

luthis,

“People living in and around social housing should suffer the actions of the few disruptive/violent/etc people.” - Everyone opposed to these actions.

The problem still stands though, as in, it’s true, they are just moving the problem elsewhere.

So, what is to be done?

The only thing I can think of is to move these people into a separate environment where they can not bother other people, and be given training, tasks, and education, to help them out of it. Which unfortunately sounds a lot like labour camps. I’m out of ideas.

luthis,

If there was a strong possibility they would end up homeless, or in a much worse living situation than they are currently in, that would be a strong incentive to change their behaviour.

Respectfully, I disagree. Many people in this state really DGAF and especially DGAF about (/have no understanding of) consequences, or they wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place. Consequences work for people who have something to lose. For these people, many don’t (feel they) have anything to lose. Change will not come from within in these cases.

luthis,

100% agreed there.

luthis,

re-education camps.

shudder

Yes, exactly.

luthis,

I think something like that would be an edge case. We aren’t talking about Karen-land, people are worried about drugs, violence, and abuse.

luthis,

let alone one from NZ

Dude… Tadpole, Anika Moa, the Runga twins, 8 Foot Sativa, Sinate… Yes, none of those are even from this decade but they are from NZ!

luthis,

Thank you for your sacrifice.

I definitely would have made this mistake.

luthis,

Ah thanks, that’s my problem, it’s me.
