GigglyBobble,

Since Signal also uses phone numbers as account ID, you'll give that to WhatsApp at least. Then they continue to track metadata of the messages sent between you and your WhatsApp contacts and will be profiling you.

I don't see how communicating with any Meta service isn't compromising privacy. I'm a Signal user and won't connect to WhatsApp.

GigglyBobble,

they get lazy about using/doing non device things.

That's the key. Over the generations media (from books to smartphones) got more sophisticated in grabbing our attention to the point that addiction really has become a problem. While everything fun can be somewhat addictive we now have corporations optimizing their products in that way.

I'm sure kids can develop healthy habits with phone and internet consumption but I also believe they need help by restricting exposure in order to play "conventionally". It's similar to sweets - if you leave kids to just eat whatever whenever they want, they'll stuff themselves with candy until they vomit repeatedly.

GigglyBobble,

It's not immoral to sell a business but anybody who actually has or even founded one and has an intact moral compass would not sell in a way you described.

You have a responsibility for your customers and employees and you don't just throw it into the dumpster like that because money isn't everything.

GigglyBobble,

Isn't the just based on a matrix server connecting to all your accounts?

What the EU forces them to do is to be able to send messages across service borders, so you could communicate with someone on WhatsApp, for example, without having an account there yourself.

I do share the most upvoted comment's skepticism though - Meta and Apple will fight this tooth and nails and make it so cumbersome (and opt-in, of course), it will have no relevance in practice.

As a Signal user I'm also not happy that the very least I have to share with Meta is my phone number (that's also criticism towards Signal though, I guess).

GigglyBobble,

I just wanted Windows and none of the Linux substitutes were it.

Of course not. At the very least you have to be fed up with Windows before moving elsewhere. If you want Windows, stay with Windows.

You shouldn't continue using Windows 10 after end of life though. Once it doesn't get security patches anymore, it is a time bomb. And since the code base is easily 80-90% the same across versions, new vulnerabilities patched on newer versions are just hints for malware devs making the obsolete version even more likely to be attacked.

GigglyBobble,

I think it's alpha but α is annoying to write (outside Greece at least).

But yeah, grouping people in generations isn't really explaining much beyond "people of different ages view this new situation differently". I think it's a very American thing. We don't care as much about generations in Europe and hardly ever name them.

GigglyBobble,

I don't remember that. Where is it from?

Microsoft never liked competing browsers (not even in the pre-IE6 era when all they had was crap), so it's hard to believe it came from them.

GigglyBobble,

You clearly don't understand how that works. We can't shut up once we moved!

This what’spp is good 😊

Who isn't sold after that?

GigglyBobble,

They'll only do it once though and serve regular ice after that. Or do you think the ice gourmets will notice?

GigglyBobble,

The only things I probably want in terms of future tech is

And how would you know? Before cars nobody anticipated them. Same with planes, computers, smartphones... You won't anticipate close to all new tech by extrapolating what we have.

GigglyBobble,

what jobs does MIT’s president imagine will be created for 60 year old truckers if they’re replaced with autos? Do we get the funny joke where people suggest truckers should learn programming?

The way it's developing, programmers will be replaced before drivers.

GigglyBobble,

Playing poker on a wooden bench with a single light bulb next to the beach

Yep, done that. And I agree it's great. I need a plane to visit the beach though.

GigglyBobble,

And the whole implementation of is-number which is at version 7.0.0:

module.exports = function(num) {
  if (typeof num === 'number') {
    return num - num === 0;
  }
  if (typeof num === 'string' && num.trim() !== '') {
    return Number.isFinite ? Number.isFinite(+num) : isFinite(+num);
  }
  return false;
};

The node.js ecosystem has always been madness.

GigglyBobble,

Lots of added tech makes these more likely to fail. And I don't think they'll be cheap to replace.

GigglyBobble,

Oh man. By that headline I got my hopes up that Logitech came to their senses and renewed the Harmony Hub or even the glorious Harmony One.

GigglyBobble,

How do you secure email accounts then? And wouldn't that make those just even more attractive targets?

GigglyBobble,

"5 ways to hack 2FA" is pretty click-baity though. All of those attacks are either not exclusively related to 2FA or could target another component. If you can just bypass security altogether, instead of questioning 2FA, you should consider ditching that service/site.

All except point 1, that is. But everyone should know by now that 2FA by SMS is insecure.

GigglyBobble, (edited )

Do I win or lose when I cannot even start the survey with Javascript disabled?

GigglyBobble,

To the replies in the other threads, they never see fanboys defending Apple, especially not on Lemmy: see? Whataboutism and "sideloading is automatic security and privacy (?!) nightmare" kool-aid.

More direct reply: no, alternative app stores don't imply less security. They could be more secure even. And sure it's all about money for Apple (and other companies = irrelevant here) but that doesn't void criticism.

GigglyBobble,

They have much higher standards

Than who? Android play store? Definitely. Decades old established package managers like Debian's apt? Not so much.

Or do you mean the potential third party tool for iOS that doesn't even exist and now is much less likely to be good because of Apple being a douche about it?

GigglyBobble,

Well, it basically prevents something like F-Droid for iOS arising from the EU ruling. Kinda big deal. Not that the fanboys would care though. Apple is infallible.

GigglyBobble,

I still can believe the world to rally together when it means to kill something.

The enemy must be simple though. Too complicated or invisible or something and the conspiracy nuts will take over.

GigglyBobble,

or whatever they want to do to us.

Anal probing, most likely.

GigglyBobble,

But a pathogen is too complicated to fight and invisible.
