Its not as easy as replacing a lightbulb but about as easy as upgrading PC components.
- Comment on Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government? 2 days ago:
If freedom of speech is granted to all and there is legal precedent and long standing tradition for that case then all should be able to have freedom of speech regardless of status.

Holy shit that’s crazy. Why doesn’t Australia have toilets that you can remove from the floor? If you want to replace a toilet you gotta beat it with a mallet?

Its a private platform. They can do what ever they want.
Politicians and other public services should stop using it while they still can.

- Comment on How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics? 2 weeks ago:
In stock android 15 it looks like this.
- Comment on How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics? 2 weeks ago:
Im not an android dev but I think the difference here is it’s a secure lock. Which means that encryption is engaged and requires the decryption string to unlock which means that biometrics are not asked for.
- Comment on How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics? 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t require root. Device admin is different.
I currently run this app on android 15 without root and it runs very well. However I just noticed that it seems to not have a new release in a few years and should probably be considered orphaned. So I might recommend ParanoidsPal-PrivacyLock instead.
- Comment on How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics? 3 weeks ago:
I am running stock Android and have no idea what that is. But this forces your phone to use your none biometrics unlock after it senses acceleration.
- Comment on How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics? 3 weeks ago:
As others have said, the most secure option is to not use biometrics.
However an app like private lock might be a decent compromise

I’m glad he did, now there is a clear line from when it was acceptable to when it wasn’t.
The USA probably won’t rebrand when its a fully fascist state.

Well again, the claim was that somehow passkeys would stop Lemmy from being flooded by bots.
So in that situation, we aren’t talking about hacking. We are simply talking about if a login could be triggered programmatically. So if Lemmy required passkeys to be used instead of passwords. And if the passkeys required scanning a QR code to sign in. I imagine It would provide minimal disruption to an automated login.
Now if the passkeys somehow enforced a real human to do something that only a human could do, then yes it would stop an automated login. However if it’s possible to automate then it wouldn’t stop bots.

Oh I don’t know what it is, sorry I thought I made that clear. But a quick search by on the internet said it was basically 2fa with a qr code and since the issue was how it would protect Lemmy from. Bots I just thought it wouldn’t be hard for a not to read a qr code.

Consider buying a previous generation card. You can sometimes find good deals on used ones.

Oh, you can easily bypass passkeys with automation. Don’t even need an image recognition model, just a QR-code scanner like
zbarimg.But i never tried googles passkey feature since it never seemed as secure as a 48 char computer generated password. So I’m not sure exactly how it works.

What would you propose replace passwords to not be susceptible to those things?
I personally like how secure and non intrusive passwords are, especially when using a self hosted password manager synced with git.
- Comment on Good afternoon I choose thoughts you've never had before. 5 weeks ago:
True. I think it depends if pasta is the main or just a side dish. But weighing spaghetti on a scale is pretty cumbersome. I’m just imagining the infomercial of some guy knocking the plate off the scale and then spaghetti is all over the floor saying there’s got to be a better way and then another guy comes up, and rips off his shirt to reveal his spaghetti portoner nipple ring.
- Comment on Good afternoon I choose thoughts you've never had before. 5 weeks ago:
I think I would prefer a simple nipple piercing pasta portioner, cause I always have a hard time figuring out how much to cook.

Even if we can shake trump and the maga party and head back towards the road to normality. We aren’t going to get rid of musk and other like minded billionaires from interfering with politics for a long, long time. At least not using legal means.

- Comment on Real estate market is tough 1 month ago:
A Mossberg 500 is less than the cost of a midrange smart phone, about $500 new. You can deck it out like with that Streamlight TL Racker flashlight pictured and other accessories too for like another $200-300 and it would still be cheaper than an iphone.
