YeetPics, to privacy in Brave to end 'Strict' fingerprinting protection as it breaks websites

The scam company brave? The one that scams people? With their scam based crypto rewards that don’t pay out? THAT brave?

p03locke, to technology in FTC offers $25,000 prize for detecting AI-enabled voice cloning

A desperate and feeble attempt at closing Pandora’s Box and keeping the corporate status quo in the hands of the rich.

It’s naive to think AI is going to disrupt the status quo from the rich. It’s just going to make the rich richer. Just look at who owns the AI.

This sort of tech is already disrupting the corpos by shattering copyright as a sham that the rich use to continue to enrich themselves. Hell, it took 104 years for a goddamn black and white cartoon about a mouse driving a steamboat to enter public domain, because Disney and other rich corps kept pushing the copyright laws in their favor.

This is why open-source and freely-available research is an important component. This is an important time to fight for, not against, the tech, and make sure it stays in the public’s hands. If we keep fighting against AI, and the inevitable, then we’re going to end up on the losing side of some draconian law that dictates that only the rich can use the technology, because of some bullshit requirement to pretend to appease copyright holders that requires hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to maintain.

I also desire, nay; demand a content ID system, whereby my uniquely distinct farts are fingerprinted so that they cannot be used in media without my consent. A fart fingerprint? A fartprint.

The opposite of that would of course be Disney copyrighting and patenting their own fart sounds, which is an added bonus, as we’ve then effectively made fun of intellectual property through intellectual property systems.

Farts are too hard to produce on demand, but… did you know there are essentially no two identical anal sphincters? And most people keep them secured between their buttocks, instead of stamping them over everywhere they go like they do with finger prints, or even hold them in the open like they do with their irises.

Anal ID, is the secure biometric ID of the future! (uhm, “touch to unlock”)

Alternatively, BellybuttonBiome ID. Seems like no two people have exactly the same set of microorganisms crawling in their bellybuttons either.

I’d be very surprised if anything functional actually comes out of this. Far more likely they get scammed out of the money by garbage like the current “AI writing detection” methods, with terrible success rates that cause more societal problems than they solve.

Roughly 6 seconds after it’s released someone will change something that breaks it again. It’s a new cat and mouse game.

jarfil,

So… an opportunity to earn $25K over and over? Sounds interesting… /s

TheaoneAndOnly27, to games in Steam game mod breached to push password-stealing malware (Downfall, Slay the Spire Mod)

Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, if you have the mod installed but you didn't launch it on Christmas Day during that window you're fine? Or should I just change my passwords?

PenguinTD,

just change if you have said mod.

Can’t hurt to change password

    derbis, to technology in French government recommends against using foreign chat apps

    Lol ok. Back to minitel with the lot of you.

    Because then they can’t surveill you as easily.

    I mean, that may well be true too, but it’s telling specifically French government employees to do so. It’s not that unusual for even regular businesses to place constraints on how those employees are communicating to something that their IT people have vetted.

    Seems like an overstated title when the content is "government employees" like it is 99% of the rest of the time this headline gets written.

    renard_roux, to technology in Google Gmail continuously nagging to enable Enhanced Safe Browsing

    I’m actually quite fond of Chrome (don’t shoot me) 😕 Is it “better” to use Chromium?

    Simply, yes.

    NightOwl, to technology in Android adware apps on Google Play amass two million installs

    I feel like the overlap of people smart enough to install F-droid and dumb enough to install a dodgy adware app has to be pretty small.

    WeLoveCastingSpellz,

    Droidify is where it is at!

    perishthethought,

    Is it just me, or is extending your trust even further from F-Droid maybe not a great idea?

    hunt4peas,

    Some said the unofficial F-Droid apps are better than the official F-Droid itself.

    perishthethought,

    Define “better” though. More secure? Safer for me and my data in the long run? Ok, cool!

    Fizz, to technology in Decentralized Matrix messaging network says it now has 115M users

    Any good matrix server recommendations?

    twei,

    I can recommend tchncs.de if you are in germany

    upstream,

    A 1% recommendation 👌

    Franzia,

    +1 to this I open matrix and its very boring compared to opening discord. ☹️

    sag,

    It doesn’t matter which server you are on;You can join any Matrix rooms. Additionally, you can bridge your important Discord announcements or chats using t2bot.io .

    rglullis,
    @rglullis@communick.news avatar

    If you are looking for professional hosting, communick.com/services/matrix has been around for some years. ;)

    If you just want a free, donation-based alternative: I hear good things from techncs.de

    Fizz,
    @Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

    No I’m not looking for hosting. I am looking for a server of alcoholic schizos and political extremists.

    noodlejetski,

    you mean a chat room.

    bingbong,

    Ah, you’re looking for reddit?

    ono, (edited )

    I think more people would understand what you mean if you asked for community recommendations (or space recommendations if you want to use the Matrix-specific term). What Discord calls a “server” is not a server in any normal sense of the word, so it’s going to confuse people who aren’t Discord regulars, especially when we’re talking about a different network that has actual servers and self-hosting support.

    sag,
