What exactly was the breach? There is no detail about what data was accessed or who accessed it in the entire article.

This is the only comment in this entire post that makes any sense. Thank you.

Go to vger.app and you can run Voyager as a PWA.

The trick here is to use incognito mode while logged out to avoid being put in a filter bubble.

That is it exactly!!!

The article refers to Vivaldi’s response as scathing, but I think it is fair and even and the best overall summary I have seen -> vivaldi.com/…/googles-new-dangerous-web-environme…

In order to win a libel suit it is my understanding they must prove the claims to be false. So if this goes to court they could end up proving in court that it is a matter of fact provable that Twitter has become more toxic since Musk took over. And then they would win. That would be brilliant.

Totally makes sense not to microwave plastics, why take the risk?

That said this article is alarmist. It states, “… The human health effects of plastic exposure are unclear…” then goes on to give a bunch scary quoyes to generate fear.

xylogx ,

I guess I am sensitive to over sensationalized media reporting. I want a neutral, even tone in my reporting. A title like “Microwaving plastics may have risks” would be welcome for me. Sensational headlines and an uneven perspective make me think either there is bias or a profit motive to scare you. Either way its bad reporting and I fell like I have to call it out.

A few things are very clear: 1. a phone with a voice assistant enabled has to listen all the time and 2. in order to train the voice assistant the data sometimes needs to be sent to the cloud and listened to by humans.

What is less clear is does this data ever get used for advertising. As you stated there are a number of reasons that make this unlikely.

Simple solution: disable your voice assistant. I do this today and I do not feel like I am losing anything. That said, with the pace AI is improving I can forsee a day when I would feel like I have to enable my voice assistant or I am losing some key functionality of my expensive smart phone service.

xylogx ,

Yes, exactly. And in order to improve the ability to understand the wake word, they need to occasionally send data to the cloud when there is some indication there may have been a misunderstanding. Also, sometimes humans need to listen when the computer has low confidence.

And of course everything after the wake word goes to the cloud. And sometimes it thinks it hears the wake word when it did not. This goes to the cloud and a human may need to interpret it.

So, some things your phone hears will go to the cloud without the wake word. And humans sometimes listen to them. This is pretty clear. Is this malicious or nefarious? Probably not. But it is complex and hard for unsophisticated end users to understand. And the reality is your phone absolutely does 110% spy on you. Just not by listening to you. It is easy to understand why so many people refuse to believe their voice assistants are not spying on them.

“Being ‘Hitler-like’ is not a verifiable statement of fact that would support a defamation claim,” Singhal wrote in his dismissal. “CNN’s statements while repugnant, were not, as a matter of law, defamatory.”

Well shucks, I thought the judge had ruled that Trump was in-fact Hitler like. Still he took the L here, with prejudice.

xylogx OP ,

This is the verdict I got from my seek app. I am not any kind of expert who could contradict that.

It’s pretty bad. You are going to be vulnerable to password spraying at the very least and a phishing email or credential leak, both incredibly common, will result in a bad day.

You need MFA and preferably FIDO based MFA with conditional access.

Are there any modern web browsers that still work on XP?

So a fork of an older version of Firefox? I will allow it. Beats IE6!

Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? **UPDATE**

I’ve subscribed to a plethora of communities that really interest me and actually have posts and discussions in them, but I have to go to the specific community to see this. My “Subscribed” feed only contains a few of the same posts that I’ve seen for weeks in Hot, the same posts from even longer ago in “Active”,...

xylogx ,

I pretty much sort by new most of the time. There is less noise in the system right now so you do not have to wade through so much toxic BS. That also means that you actually run out of genuinely new content pretty quickly. Viewing new posts has some nice side effects in that comments get good engagement much more often and you get to have a real influence on whether something gains traction.

Great article, thank you for sharing!

So if I understand, Wiz is saying some apps that use Azure AD might not have sufficient logging to identify the IOCs. But MS apps like Exchange Online and Teams do have sufficient logging?

On mobile Opera blocks them ok.

YSK: Imagus is Hover Zoom for Lemmy that actually works (addons.mozilla.org)

On desktop Hover Zoom is life changing way to browse memes and gifs. One thing I struggled with when I moved to Lemmy was Hover Zoom support. While it worked with imgur links, these are few and far between. I had given up hope when I finally discovered Imagus works perfectly.

xylogx OP ,

My understanding is that it is that it has a list of sites it knows how to work with like reddit and imgur and for others it does not try to zoom. Images Ihosted on Lemmy fail to trigger the zoom.

One if my coworkers installed this on his computer one morning before I got into the office. When I arrived I saw it in a boot loop, so I helpfully put in a network boot floppy and re-imaged the hard drive. Good times.

I took this with a Sony A7 and a Sony FE 200-600mm zoom lens.
