President Biden in a public statement called the incident “sick.”

“That such a thing could happen in this country is totally bogus dude.”

So… they’re holding the hostage deal hostage?

The other thing to consider of course is that if you use DoH/DoT, you still have to trust THAT DNS authority. All you’ve guaranteed is that a secure lookup and response transaction has hit their server, not that their server is providing an authoritative result and the operator isn’t storing/selling your requests.

Executives need to present company forecasts to shareholders at annual business meetings. If they mess up the forecast so the business plan doesn’t match the reality, they scramble to make the books balance somehow — the easiest place to do this is by cutting staff so that expenditures line up with earnings. Modern accounting means that even though they still have payouts to employees, they can count this in a separate loss bucket so that the bottom line item that investors watch still comes out where they “predicted” it would, which props up the stock price, making investors happy and preventing them from replacing the executives.

First two: using color and button size/placement to guide clicks

The ones they didn’t do:

• Misdirection of reason for interacting with elements
• pre-selecting the checkbox
• making the background elements a clickbox
• using colors to scare user into a certain action
• using text to scare user into a certain action

They hit two dark patterns out of a possible seven.

I should make a browser plug-in that finds dark patterns and reverses them.

Maybe the solution to YouTube is something similar to BitTorrent. It would make more sense for the protocol to preload the first chunk and to use a codec that can start with a lower res image and then fill in the resolution in subsequent passes. And on the front end, something like Lemmy would work, where channels and posts can be federated.

Considering the number of people who have 1gps symmetric bandwidth today, such a system should be able to technically work.

But nobody’s designed it yet AFAIK.

Probably happening on Lemmy too.

The world isn’t going to pay attention.

The article’s worth reading though.

If the law goes through, there’s an obvious solution: display it alongside its equivalents. I bet that would be very educational for a lot of people.

419 scambaiters have had this issue solved for decades.

Of course, generative AI might now be able to put a crimp in those classic proof techniques adopted by things like AMA.

Endemic end-to-end encryption just means that everyone is now protected from interception.

I’ve been using PGP and friends since the 90s. Most people who LE should be targeting for investigation have likewise been using strong encryption since the 90s.

Most cases get a break due to the failure of opsec or due to chance or standard gruelling detective work and the fact that people are social animals.

So what exactly is Europol arguing here?

Why not display the original from the Torah? In the original Hebrew language?

Or at least display all three versions as written in the Protestant Bible.

Seems kind of silly though; it would make much more sense for Christians to display Deuteronomy 6:4-15, since that’s what Jesus stated was the greatest commandment.

Hopefully the rest of the world can follow their sodium.

Theoretically, the SIM has its own MAC that’s used for routing on the cellular network; however, the network is required to route 911 calls even without a SIM, and that’s done via IMEI.

Why exactly does vehicleprivacyreport want my VIN instead of year make and model? That’s me giving an unvetted third party website the unique tracking token for my car….

And only some e-bikes have a built-in cell phone.

I remember when I had to set my VCR to record a program I wanted to watch; if YouTube gets that bad, I’ll just do the same thing; pre-record the video stream and skip the commercials.
