Who needs a license when there’s massgravel/MAS

I mean, duh? With proof of work captchas existing, there’s no reason to have those image selection captchas… Ever…

How those work is by having the server generate a puzzle. Server side this is cheap to generate, while client side solving is “hard”. The server can even choose the difficulty of the puzzle, and even set it dynamically. This means that when your website is under light load the captcha can be really easy/fast to solve. If your website is under attack however the captcha can be set to take seconds to solve.

Simply making the hash really hard is not a good option. All most people will notice is that their underpowered phone suddenly takes way longer to unlock compared to before. Cracking the hash on very powerful hardware is then ‘trivial’

As the other comment mentioned, a hardware solution seems to be the only one.

Train system is not exactly viable here compared to using a car (Belgium)

Edit: but yeah the rest is about right

What I use for such sites is a frozen card which I only unfreeze after setting a limit for my exact purchase amount. Pay, freeze again for the next time.

Same here, sure there’s hacks and workarounds that don’t require root… But still why the extra step…

I just want my window animation speed to be faster, why does that disqualify me from reading stuff sent to my government mailbox.

Something something Firefox extension: “I don’t care about cookies”

Ikr, like I don’t need a full feature full stack framework… I just want my tech demo to not look like it was made in the 80s without spending hours. (I’m mostly a backend dev)

Small bits like caps can’t get sorted for recycling for some reason, so they’re just “waste” instead of recyclable

Plenty of paywalled sites have workarounds (Bypass Paywall Clean extension basically does that for you)

On top of the reason the top level comment gave (easy for law enforcement) it also allows for better data collection (linking your activity to your account, no matter where, how or when it is recorded)

Valorant kernel level driver managed to fuck up my whole system every few updates though. It’s managed to freeze my whole pc 2 times, cause a BSoD 3 times… And that’s only talking about last week.

Almost as if running unstable software designed to be intrusive to other programs on a kernel level was not a great idea. But hey less cheaters right??? Oh wait no, turns out it still doesn’t stop cheaters.

Writing kernels for parallel execution with OPENCL gives me flashbacks every time I remember them

brave article finds only good things about brave and only bad things about Firefox

Color me surprised /s

Problem with that is that simply pasting your signature is in no way legally binding. Someone could crop your signature out of a random document and then sign a bunch of papers with it.

With a paper copy you’re supposed to keep the hard copy (and so is the other party, that’s why you always sign in doubles).

Hell even printing, signing and scanning is quite vague in terms of legal value… You’d have to actually send the original hard copies by mail to be 100% covered. (With a registered letter at that).

Digital signing will supposedly make this whole process easier, but doing that digital signing can only be executed by a small amount of certified organisations. (As in everyone can digitally sign something with their own keys, but it won’t be legally recognized)

Not a lawyer, just someone who tried to figure out how signing legal documents works to include it in an inhouse program at work

This is accurate, it is also accurate for (at least some part of) android though… Going into recovery boot requires the phone pin for my mid-range phone. Hell even turning off the phone can be set to require pin or biometric.

Damn… That is good…

I guess we now have to learn all the different markers for AI generated music too (like hands and background continuity for image generation)

There are so many ways to encode information into an image without changing its look that I doubt you’ll find most of them by “changing levels”

But then those images could contain the very fingerprints he’s trying to avoid

30? I’ve come across website that in this case would list out all 807 partners.
