- Comment on Ex Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating's daughter Kathrine Keating linked to Epstein in emails. 2 days ago:
If there was ANYTHING in the Epstein files that could be used against trump, don’t you think that the Democrats would have made them public when they had them and were doing everything short of assassinating Trump (oh wait…) to stop him from running for president and to beat him?
Trumps not going to be implicated in anything with Epstein. If anything it’ll only confirm that he knew he was a creep and cut all ties with him, while people like Obama and Clinton cozied up with him.

Definitely not.

That’s not happening in the USA.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 1 week ago:
By saying that about “average republicans” but neglecting to say that it’s the same for the “average democrat” you’re showing a clear bias. Both sides are controlled by the wealthy, democrats arguably more.
The Republican Party is the only one where conservatives are able to have a voice and make a modicum of progress. “Progressives” and their so called “progress” isn’t objectively good.

Classic “there’s only 1 country in the world” math.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 1 week ago:
Depends what country you’re in. I’m on far less than $400k and I pay around 40% income tax alone.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 1 week ago:
I get 18ms lag consistently on xcloud. It’s essentially not noticeable. I’ve even played online shooters on it and had no real trouble. It’s pretty amazing these days.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 1 week ago:
This ignores the fact that companies are already doing this.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 1 week ago:
I get 18ms ping to the servers ~1000km away from me on Xbox Cloud, can barely tell it’s not native.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 1 week ago:
Game streaming usage is increasing massively year on year, every year. It definitely has not been rejected, in fact it’s becoming more and more accepted.
- Comment on How do I tell my Korean male childhood friend that he looks like a really cute anime girl and that I'd die for him and that I want to cuddle with him and treat him like a princess (no homo)? 1 week ago:
No homo? No, homo.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 1 week ago:
You think the average Democrat is any different? They’re not manipulated and controlled by those who are super wealthy? Lol
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 1 week ago:
When you earn $400k and lose $200k of it to taxes, you get more than a little upset.

It’s ……not.
- Comment on Why don't all the "illegals" or just some put a tracker on them that goes back to their spouse or something? That way we can go to whereever the place their held at a protest the shit out of it? 2 weeks ago:
Why are people protesting the deportation of illegal immigrants again?
- Comment on Why doesn't NASA have a go fund me page or kickstarter? Really don't know how they work but would donate. 380 million in the US if everyone gave a dollar would do good? 2 weeks ago:
You want to donate money to the government?

- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 2 weeks ago:
There’s no other factors when a thief already has your phone unlocked, which is why it’s a bad point to use against passworldess authentication in this argument.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 2 weeks ago:
I see that the comment I initially replied to has been edited, but it still reads as though the second factor of 2FA is itself 2FA:
Sorry but that’s just you misinterpreting it. I was explaining what passwordless authentication is like compared to the current password+2FA system, in which passwordless is basically just going straight to the 2FA, not that passwordless is 2FA. You don’t need to explain 2FA to me, I very much know what it is lol
it might seem like enough if your email is protected by 2FA—but not if you mistakenly leave your email logged in on a device someone else has access to, which may sound stupid but it definitely happens.
This is the worst argument that people keep coming back to. If you have left your email logged in on a device that someone else has access to, you’ve been compromised. You don’t use that as an argument against other services.
Also passwordless isn’t only authenticated by email. It’s usually done via an authenticator app.
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 2 weeks ago:
Because there’s nothing to do anything about. Why would they be sanctioned?
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 2 weeks ago:
Passwordless isn’t 2FA……it’s passwordless.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 2 weeks ago:
The tech “enthusiasts” of Lemmy are really showing their arses in here lol. They have a “I took 2 semesters of computer science so I’m somewhat of an expert” level of understanding and mentality.
There’s a reason most big tech companies are starting to move to passwordless logins. If 2FA is the ultimate protection about unauthorised access, the password is ultimately irrelevant - and given all we know about password reuse and data breaches, getting rid of them is a good thing.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 2 weeks ago:
If they’ve got your phone with your 2FA they’ve also got your email on your phone lol
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 2 weeks ago:
If a thief already has your phone unlocked then nothing else matters.
- Comment on Would it be correct to say that enshittification is the physical manifestation of the economic ai bubble bursting? 3 weeks ago:
No.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 3 weeks ago:
Yeh but with 2FA the password is essentially irrelevant because no one other than you can get in even if they have your password, so why not just skip it?
What downsides are there to passwordless authentication in your mind?
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 3 weeks ago:
It’s all just a big “in theory” really. It’s “insecure” in that if someone knows the telco you are with, and the telco that you’re with doesn’t follow procedures to verify that a caller is who they say they are, you could have someone else steal your phone number by getting a replacement sim card sent to them.
In reality it’s nothing to worry about. Like…at all. Every telco I’ve been with sends you a sms to confirm that you requested a new SIM card, and that’s after they’ve confirmed that you are who you say you are via sending you a code on your phone number or email.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 3 weeks ago:
To make it worse, SMS is incredibly insecure. Nothing should send you codes via SMS
Theoretically sure, but the chances of anyone getting their SMS hacked and their 2FA code being used to compromise their account is so infinitesimally small that it’s not even worth mentioning.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 3 weeks ago:
Because passwordless authentication is awesome and needs to be the standard.
