what if the hacker provided the public key for https connection? (www.youtube.com)

So this video explains how https works. What I don’t get is what if a hacker in the middle pretended to be the server and provided me with the box and the public key. wouldn’t he be able to decrypt the message with his private key? I’m not a tech expert, but just curious and trying to learn.

All TLS/HTTPS clients have a set of Certificate Authority keys which they trust. Your client will only accept a public key which is signed by a trusted CA’s key. A proper CA will not sign a key for a domain when it has not verified that the entity that wants it’s key signed actually controls the domain.

If you’re going to mention Frank Zappa you also have to mention “Sheik Yerbouti” and “Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch” by him.

Um what? Since when are open standards that allow vendor interoperability a bad thing?

The pricing only really works if you factor in the advertising afterwards.

The text is also incredible misleading. The data will still be harvested and monetized, just not for ads.

This is typical enshittification. Make an impossibly good service to gain marketshare. Then make it worse once you’ve eliminated all competition and dominate the market.

Wdym?

He does credit someone else with coining the term.

It’s much more banal. YouTube is simply a monopoly abusing its market power. People would use alternatives if they existed.

lostmypasswordanew ,

They are not alternatives because they don’t have content. Streaming video is fairly trivial. Having content is not.

Yeah, I open my 2FA app in split screen when I do this

They wanted to have compatibility with Chrome extensions. But that was all just a n EEE move by Google. More perfidious since they created the open standard in the first place

Google says AI systems should be able to mine publishers’ work unless companies opt out, turning copyright law on its head (www.theguardian.com)

In its submission to the Australian government’s review of the regulatory framework around AI, Google said that copyright law should be altered to allow for generative AI systems to scrape the internet.

An AI model is a derivative work of its training data and thus a copyright violation if the training data is copyrighted.

lostmypasswordanew ,

Humans and AI are not the same and an equivalence should never be drawn.

lostmypasswordanew ,

That’s just not true

Most people don’t give a shit about these things. It might actually decrease if Netflix just tells people to install Chrome to watch Stranger Things

lostmypasswordanew OP ,

So you didn’t watch the video?
