A tumblr post saying "i really like this thing where websites will have separate “log in” & “sign up” buttons and if you click “log in” it takes you to a sign-up screen anyway so you have to click “i already have an account” and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your facebook account or with instagram or linkedin or deviantart or whatever, and if you choose “username & password” it asks if you want to put in your username or use your thumbprint, and once you put your username & password it emails you a confirmation code, and once you put in the code it says “do you want to give us your phone number for future sign-ins? do you want to sign up for facial recognition? do you want to give us your bones? give us your fucking bones?”
Most grievous mistake designers make is assume the attacker will take the front door and pick the lock instead of breaking a window, walking though the hole in the fence and taking the side door or just walk though the other side, where literally the whole wall is missing.
But at least you have a padlock, a deadbolt, a high security door lock, a chain link, a nest AND a ring camera,
Fuck ring cameras, they’ve given blank access to their cameras and footage to police departments in the US, users have no option to block this.
I mean yeah, I don’t think that commenter was pro-ring cameras…
No, but I feel the need to make people aware that ring cameras are surveillance devices for cops at every opportunity.
I’m most impressed by how little Mangione was on cameras in New York. Yeah they got a bunch of pics, but like there are rin cameras EVERYWHERE. Escaping crimes is hard if the police actually care.
That’s valid, I just think most people in Lemmy would know that already.
