Something Chuck Norris could support….

Or… Chinese robot industry struggles to develop high quality products.

All depends on how you spin it.

Why am I not seeing it on my new tab screens?

In reality, you can use any blogging solution; they can be hosted on I2P or TOR or WriteFreely or even Lemmy. A Lemmy community is essentially a P2P microblogging solution if used that way.

Then, just sign all your posts on the platform you choose.

Just use any p2p blogging solution and gpg sign all your posts?

I think they just left out “…in the lab.”

The research is great, the article is horrible in many ways; it was obviously written by someone who didn’t understand what they were writing about.

Even leading with a high power laser array image when the article is about heating plastic with a low power non-visible radiation….

The CA is purely a way to provide validation that the endpoints being connected are who they say they are; the actual signing certificates are still private. Apple uses a central directory; Signal depends on certificates linked to one way hashes of phone numbers.

Certificate Authority

Messages app by Apple. Not extremely difficult, but has its trade offs, and easier when all devices share a CA.

Yeah; just set your article to 2x speed :D

I kid; all this video is going to vanish one day, and the text will remain.

And for most things, text is a highly superior format. Sometimes you need a few images or a video clip to supplement it, but I like to ingest information while my ears are otherwise occupied. I keep my phone and computer muted most of the time. I often watch videos with closed captioning enabled on 2x just to scrub through and find the 10 seconds of actual information in the 15 minute video.

Isn’t there just a video we could watch?

MS-BASIC was OK IMO, but I preferred AppleSoft BASIC.

I lost the trust with MS DOS.

What makes you hate tiny little ants?

And this is why it is important to poison the PII databases.

I feel like someone needs to set up a project with scrambled PII mixed with totally fictitious PII and then “leak” it in chunks such that overall confidence in these databases approaches zero over time.

That allows it to block those annoying cookie banners without you clicking accept.

I use a different plugin that lets me set my own preferences about how sites should use cookies, and then it strips those banners and applies MY settings.

The thing about those cookie banners is that if you choose to reject all cookies, then no cookie is set to tell the site that you reject all cookies, so the banner will be back on your next visit.

A privacy policy can be “we don’t collect your data.”

They appear to have Experian or TransUnion data which provides multiple records for a single individual. If they pulled in records from multiple sources, (eg, all the credit agencies), then the number of records per person would balloon rapidly.

The worrying thing is that if these are timestamped, that set of data can tell an awful lot about a person that’s useful for identity theft.

If they have my data and it includes a SSN, I can guarantee it’s not accurate.

You know those “do not lick the flagpole” signs?

They’re not there because the building owners think YOU will lick the flagpole. They’re there because someone else already HAS licked the flagpole.

MS adds these things because there is legal consequence to them allowing certain groups to use their software. So they explicitly call out that those groups cannot legally use their software.

That way if an Iranian arms dealing pedophile is caught using their software, Microsoft doesn’t get sanctioned by the US government.
