Little macro running on my phone, that as soon as my smartwatch gets out of range, it locks the screen.

How do you do that?

I mean, that’s kinda the point of this question: How quickly can you issue a wipe command to your phone?

If you only have one phone no backup phones, now quickly can you access a internet device to issue a wipe command? And will you even remember the google/apple account password quickly enough in such a stressful moment?

Hardware is good, but why not have both?

Imei Blacklisting makes them not very valuable anyways. Data worth a lot more.

Btw someone got a fradulent copy of my mother’s ID somehow. Like not a “fake id”, an actual real government issued ID, but fraudulently obtained mailed to some random address. They started trying to access money in banks, then tried sim swapping [edit: The sim swapping actually worked. Calls from my mother’s phone stopped working and other lines in the same family plan got a notification, so my parents went to the phone company and removed my mother’s name from the account and replaced the sim. As for the bank accounts, they closed and reopened the accounts with new account numbers and they had a note in there to double check the picture (which is still of my mother’s) and address on there (which the fradulent ID had a different address). They never managed to take any money. But it wasted a lot of time.]

So like, its a thing that happens. People think “identity theft won’t happen to me, I’m not important enough”, then someone steals your identity. These things never gets investigated. They said “we’ll investigate” but like a year later, not a word from those “investigators”.Only if you steal from the rich do any investigation gets done. They don’t care about the average person.

TLDR: Protect your data. Identity theft is actually common.

With how volitile the USD is under ahem this administration, Bitcoin is probably the slightly less shittier option.

Time spend on video medium is like 1000x more than reading.

I rarely read books, by rarely I mean I just skim all school reading materials, and only pick up random books lying around at home (that were given out for free by the public library) to read when my electronics were broken/consfiscated by parents.

I read a lot of news and wikipedia aricles tho, those are somehow just more fun than a book.

There are some adapted works that I’ve seen the adaptation of, but still haven’t read the source materials yet. I kinda just read the wikis to check any differences between the 2 mediums… 🤷‍♂️

Recently, I came across some interesting works of fiction that didn’t have an adaptation in a video medium, so I reluctantly started reading. Recursion was a fun read with the audiobook playing in background at 1.2x speed.

When I read, I usually use the sterotypical portrayal of that character’s archetype from other visual mediums to like fill in the character model and use similar scenes from visual media to paint the room and atmosphere.

I have like a “level 3” on the aphantasia scale, so like I could just barely paint the scenary.

If I do my own worldbuilding and my own story, I can sort of see the world slightly mroe clearly, like a “level 2” on the apantasia scale.

Shaming people for “dick size” is support for the patriarchy and therefore supporting misogyny.

Fuck this toxic masculinity. This is literally feeding into the alt-right pipeline.

guessing the prefix wouldn’t be that hard

Devil’s Advocate: Most websites have limitations on the number of attempts.

“Lemmy Forum” = leumdsh2box5hRs3wraA

Protomail Email = prildsh2box5hRs3wraA

Amazon Shopping = amngdsh2box5hRs3wraA

Its an example. Not a real password

If you replace the “SWydThIThBaPl!690720” part with a random string like: dsh2box5hRs3wraA (just generated this), but kept the system the same, would your assessment of this system be different? (Assuming someone can actually remember that string of characters)

You can go to jail in some countries for cutting ties with your abusive parents. It’s so fucked up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filial_responsibility_laws

Typically, these laws obligate adult children (or depending on the state, other family members) to pay for their indigent parents’/relatives’ food, clothing, shelter and medical needs. Should the children fail to provide adequately, they allow nursing homes and government agencies to bring legal action to recover the cost of caring for the parents. Adult children can even go to jail in some states if they fail to provide filial support.

In 2012, the media reported the case of John Pittas, whose mother had received care in a skilled nursing facility in Pennsylvania after an accident and then moved to Greece. The nursing home sued her son directly, before even trying to collect from Medicaid. A court in Pennsylvania ruled that the son must pay, according to the Pennsylvania filial responsibility law.

In Germany, people who are related in a “direct line” (grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren) are required to support each other, this includes children with impoverished parents (de:Elternunterhalt, support to parents).

In France, close relatives (such as children, parents and spouses) are required to support each other in case of need (fr:obligation alimentaire, duty to support).

Singapore, Taiwan, India, and Mainland China criminalize refusal of financial or emotional support for one’s elderly parents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filial_piety

In some societies with large Chinese communities, legislation has been introduced to establish or uphold filial piety. In the 2000s, Singapore introduced a law that makes it an offense to refuse to support one’s elderly parents; Taiwan took similar punitive measures.

Some scholars argued that medieval China’s reliance on governance by filial piety formed a society that was better able to prevent crime and other misconduct than societies that did so only through legal means.

There’s literally only 4 characters difference between all their passwords, even if those would be completely random, that’s very bad.

So the 4 characters is just my way to explain their system, I don’t actually know how many characters they use in their “unique” part of the password, but the idea is that the unique part of the password is derived from the website.

AFIAK, those that are “supported” merely were lucky enough to convince Microsoft to sign their Public Keys, so the machine would accept it. What happens when Microsoft refuse to sign linux distros?
