Funny@sh.itjust.works•When women have a crush on menEnglish
1·1 month agoi’m a man and i’ve had women reject me for my partner count many times for being too much or too little.
Is it TMI for them to even be asking that?! Unless you mean a few dates in or something maybe

Tradeoff question—
Should I expect to find some semblance of safety in sticking with the largest open source browser project I can find, given perhaps the eyeballs etc., or would you reckon not (or even perhaps the opposite, security through obscurity & Umbra is “safer” than Firefox)?
Maybe this is so “lightly” forked it’s “just” stripping + cosmetics & the risk profile is essentially identical?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Fuck Github, Microsoft has made it impossible to create an account without linking to hardware or phonesEnglish
5·2 months agoI’m wondering if you could have any version of this—assuming best intentions and smartest people—which did not demand very similar countermeasures past a certain equivalent growth threshold.
I unfortunately have to imagine Codeberg is like Lemmy and flies under the radar from spammers.
…for now.
LLMs all but guarantee a future of oppressive noise to signal ratios. I imagine IRL connections, or at least numbers saved in your phone, will become pretty important there. So then I think up in-person local-community-vibe verification schemes but they all end with dirty marketers or operators inducing members of the public to astroturf or lease their accounts…

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike: Telegram is not private. There is nothing private about it. They've done a really amazing job of convincing the world that this is an encrypted messaging appEnglish

Privacy@lemmy.ml•A New Anonymous Phone Carrier Lets You Sign Up With Nothing but a Zip CodeEnglish
221·5 months agoVery impressive.
When will this service be forced to change or shut down? I think five years. Possibly less if a major case hits the news where a bad actor used the service.

7·5 months agoInteresting because the article says the ZIP code is required for tax purposes
Maybe the owner is outside of the US, maybe it’s OK?

![eremeya • 3y ago [--] I have set up Mint, T-Mobile prepaid, att prepaid, and cricket accounts without using personal info. Upvote 7 Downvote spinifex23 • 3y ago [--] I have a T-Mobile pre-paid for app development that I paid for with cash. To top it up, I just buy refill cards. If you're worried about being IDed with a camera during checkout? A nice, floppy hat from a thrift store might help. And don't forget a nice, large mask! COVID is still around! Upvote 3 Downvote [deleted] • 3y ago [--] There’s a minimart near me who still does phone PINs from a card terminal, they even have MVNOs like AMP’d mobile and other defunct ones in there. No cameras, no security besides bars on the doors and windows. I suspect the owner has some ‘personal security’ under the counter, so he doesn’t care much to add cameras. I go there because I can get every prepaid PIN under the sun and there’s never a line, not because of the anonymity though.](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/9e58aba9-7dbf-47af-bf7d-7c35952b2710.jpeg)
How did they come up with such an odd company name? It’s like this copy of the promotional video was ripped off from the original and replaced with the name of the knock off.

Probably < choke v. + full adj. (with an underlying sense ‘full to the point of choking’), in later use (especially in α forms) probably reinforced by association with chock n.1 and chock v.1

what can the hackers do?
• buy weird coptech on eBay then tell people about it
• ask your school board if they’re using these things
• campaign for strong privacy legislation
• give money to the EFF
• stay aware and informed
• keep your friends and communities safe
