MattMist , in Twitter/X new ID Verification - First Look

From the text on there, you can see it’s probably not that insecure. Au10tix is the company actually doing the identity verification and they’re an Israel-based company that seems to be pretty legit. I bet X only stores the data in-memory while they send it over to the appropriate APIs or something like that.

Not that I trust them anyway with who’s in charge over there.

gleph ,

The text says that you give X permission to store the image of your id for 30 days. If you trust them to delete it after that, then I don’t know how to help you.

Even if they do delete them, there will be millions of id images stored at any time.

KrisND ,

What’s the worst thing that could happen? I mean, we’re already spied on constantly anyways.

kungen ,

Would you mind proxying all your data through my server? I MITM all TLS traffic, but as you’re already being spied on constantly anyways, there’s really no harm in opening yet another possible hole, right?

KrisND ,

Sure, DM me the details.

Cypher ,

As a Cyber Security professional I am telling you now, it is not a matter of “if” Au10tix get hacked and leak data it is when.

Everyone should minimise the number of companies with important Personally Identifiable Information to prevent identity theft and other scams.

Companies are not trustworthy while they are motivated solely by profit.

I would hope that people who have embraced the Fediverse concept over corporate options would be more discerning with their personal information.

JoshuaACasey ,

it infuriates me to no end that so many people are willing to go over to places like blue sky, spoutible, threads. Instead of capitalizing (no pun intended) on this golden opportunity to re-invent social media to be owned by everyone/no one instead of billionaires/corporations/capitalists by embracing the fediverse.

SO! FUCKING! INFURIATING!

Moonrise2473 , in That's my YouTube initial page now

I really like this home page, I wish they could offer this as an option because I also like to have history on

Bro, you in a cracker barrel. All that gift shop stuff is just junk Xmas gifts tha g-ma picks up while waiting for her fried ocra.

Kinglink , in higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs

I tip twenty most places. Easy to calculate and fair.

I see this and they have gotten my tip. If you work there and are upset by that, then you need to find another job because the company is stealing your tips no matter what. And I personally won’t return, because it’s never the best restaurants who pull this shit.

Similarly if a company puts automatic gratuity on my bill that’s the tip as well… And usually it’s less than I’d give freely.

If Americans are supposed to tip extra it their choice. If you want to define service charges or something like this, then you’ve made your choice. Greedy fucks trying to hide these extra charges need to stop. I’ll pay more for food on a menu if that’s what it takes but trying to sneak it is bullshit.

j891319 , in higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs

More than 10% service charge is unacceptable already where I am. Let alone asking for a tip on top.

Christmas in July is a thing in a lot of places. This could just be marketing that hasn’t been changed over yet.

FlyingSquid , in IT'S THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST!

Have you ever been somewhere and seen one of those “Christmas all year around” stores with nothing but Christmas stuff inside? Who shops in those when it isn’t near Christmas?

Fiivemacs ,

Me…because it’s next to impossible t find GOOD quality Christmas stuff during Christmas season. It’s either that store, or the mass produced trash from Walmart. I’ll take Christmas item shopping in june-august over Walmart crap

metaStatic ,

I wish Australia had a large enough population to support this kind of nonsense because this is my kind of logic

that dude seems to not want to see influx of self-described “classical liberals” which simplifies in this case to racist weed smokers that also happen to talk in dogwhistles. no idea why they got downvoted

linearchaos , in What a world we live in...
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

It’s just an industry in their death rolls.

Printing is now almost universally optional. Most of the things that get printed these days are only printed because people are more comfortable. Probably a pretty scary place to be if you’re the printer division of a company.

Demuniac ,

I don’t know if the best answer would be to make it even less appealing to print, but I guess they have their shareholders to impress as well.

linearchaos ,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

Worst plan, but their printing division is likely no longer anywhere near profitable and they’re clawing at the bottom line trying to survive.

gunpachi , in fuck netflix and their fucking clickbait sex thumbnails

I was talking to my friends about the same topic yesterday and they didn’t seem to bothered by it.

On a different note, even some music videos that are coming out these days have really suggestive content and Youtube puts this shit right in the front page (for a not signed in session).

We live in a world where people are getting too used to messed up stuff.

I actually meant music videos like Cardi B’s WAP which is not even age restricted in Youtube.

SCB ,

How is that substantively different from the videos I linked?

gunpachi ,

They do have similar themes but the video I linked clearly has more explicit visuals.

Adults may see it as normal, but I certainly don’t want my kids to watch videos like WAP and get normalized to the such visuals and nudity.

Youtube should properly age restrict videos based on their visuals at least.

I’m sure you understand what I’m getting at.

SCB ,

I don’t really. I police my children’s YouTube use, and don’t want a program doing it for me.

flashinthepan , in lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmy

Time to find another server. Lemmy World has lost the plot.

stappern OP , in Plug and Play steamdeck!

im already moving toward Sunshine instead, this steam software is really a mess…

Cold_Brew_Enema , in lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmy

Get over it. Maybe try paying for shit instead of stealing.
