Visa Adds New Way To Share Customer Shopping Data With Retailers (www.businesswire.com)

Visa is rolling out new technology that will allow the payments giant to share more information about customers' preferences [non-paywalled source] based on their shopping history with retailers as it seeks to remain a top player in the competitive e-commerce space. From a report:...

Same as CP used against encryption.

pedroapero ,

Sounds to me that the difference is they exploited a bug to get private information in order to game the bots.

Randomly getting Notion email, after having deleted my account years ago... (slrpnk.net)

Welp I guess this is the perfect example of companies not deleting your credentials and account info when asking for it... I deleted my Notion account several years ago. And completely randomly today got an email from them about data retention, assuming this is one of those "important" emails they have to send out. Sadly, years...

Had the same experience with Lydia advertising their new brand name by email yesterday.

Why every TOTP app default uses SHA-1 hash encryption?

I use Aegis as my 2fa. Today on new token creation I observed that there's hash function set to SHA-1, later checked all my tokens and the result is same type of encryption used for all. So I have edited all my tokens to SHA-256 as a result my totp doesn't authenticate. Do I have to rescan my tokens for updating to SHA-256 or...

pedroapero ,

The entropy of otp codes is low compared to the seed's. I'd never though about what that meant for reversion. Good point !

pedroapero ,

In actually decreases with time (by half every four year, unless the value increases equally, which is unlikely in the long run). However you should compare the energy per transaction, which is pretty lame (5txs per seconds or similar).

pedroapero OP ,

They say they do in the article.

Any web site that lets you share files with people like xender ?

I remember there being apps like xender, easy share etc. which lets you share files by one person activating hotspot and the other wifi you just have to have both party close to each other and they use no data . But they are all closed source and probably spyware and its too much of a hassle to get others to download a file...

Sharik is very nice on smartphone: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.marchello.sharik/
No need to install anything on the receiver side; handles Wifi hotshot itself.

2.7M followers displayed on Threads; 2.8M on Mastodon.

I highly doubt that there are 2.8M members on my instance (not to mention potus subscribers)

Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores (gizmodo.com)

Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.

This feels so creepy to, being watched spending your money by slaves on the other side of the globe, and Amazon pretending it to be automated !

Mattermost used to be the go-to alternative, not sure why it is not mentioned yet.
Then it looks like Revolt is getting traction now.

Agreed

pedroapero ,

So that you can't sell later ?

pedroapero ,

I use Monero for donations too on a regular basis.
From what I understand, the people accepting donations would no longer be allowed to sell them to professional platforms (silly as those are the ones KYCing).

pedroapero ,

That would make sense. Thx

Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed (mastodon.social)

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

pedroapero ,

The Pixelfed team stated (https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/112138024510274956) that users were not able to reproduce the issue, so this is most likely a fake news.

pedroapero ,

That would be mastodon.social https://fedidb.org/network/instance/mastodon.social
Not sure about censorship / moderation rules though.

pedroapero ,

Anyone can create a Lemmy account and post ads already.

pedroapero ,

I'm learning Leptos too, I'll watch your progress when lost, good luck !

pedroapero ,

It generated a suffix of two digits when I tried (you can set it explicitely but it is mandatory).

pedroapero ,

It appears SimpleX is not even available for me (Android 8).

pedroapero ,

Wait and see what happens when Google removes traditional tracking from Chrome and every sites start requiring registration to access content !

pedroapero ,

Signal is developped by a non-profit.

pedroapero ,

Pow does not limit spam in bitcoin. Fees do.
Pow is used as a decentralized election mecanism to distribute the block production.

pedroapero ,

You should check out the impact of gold production also.

pedroapero ,

I stopped following sites with dubious commercial tactics like the one you mention. After all, information is not so rare these days.

pedroapero ,

It's never worked on FF for me. I installed Chromium just to be able to log into several Teams accounts. And tabs are still not working. Classic Microsoft mess.

A global watermarking standard could help safeguard elections in the ChatGPT era (thehill.com)

"To prevent disinformation from eroding democratic values worldwide, the U.S. must establish a global watermarking standard for text-based AI-generated content," writes retired U.S. Army Col. Joe Buccino in an opinion piece for The Hill. While President Biden's October executive order requires watermarking of AI-derived video...

pedroapero ,

A Lemmy option to hide posts of links already red in another post would be neat. (First time I see this one though)

pedroapero ,

A phone number will always be required to limit bot accounts.

pedroapero ,

They will allow to hide your phone number from your profile, but what about your profile name ? This will identify you after your username is used. So you must also remove your name from your profile, this will confuse your previous contacts (I'm not sure if names come from profile or contact list actually).

I feel the options for phone number display are not sufficient to have several privacy profiles.
