@OwenBrakes @devdekarn their proprietary ESB is much more interesting id say

@devdekarn Everyone uses Nordic for BLE, it's insane. The firmware engineers kill themselves when they see the nRF SDK.

The RF world is insane. Researchers recovered AES-128 keys from a Bluetooth chip by listening to its own antenna from 10 meters away. Crypto-engine switching noise couples into the RF chain, rides the 2.4 GHz carrier, and leaks out as radio.

@123Koko_ because they've successfully shaped the narrative into something that, if disagreed with, makes you look like the bad guy. along the lines of "who wouldnt want child protection?" or "who wouldnt want to prevent terrorism?" theres also basically nothing we can do

Warum interessiert sich eigentlich kaum jemand dafür, dass die EU uns hinter einen eisernen Vorhang zwingen will? Elon Musk soll gezwungen werden, X in Europa mit Bluesky zu fusionieren. VPN sollen verboten werden. Internetzugang nur nach erfolgter Identitätsprüfung. Totale Informationskontrolle.

@virtaava i dont believe its possible to make a system thats both zero-knowledge/double-blind *and* not spoofable. they seem to be in exact contradiction to each other

The EU says its European age verification app is about one thing: protecting minors. Not tracking adults. Not building a browsing passport. Not creating a new identity checkpoint for the internet. Fine. Then the design should prove exactly one thing: This user is over the required age threshold. Nothing else. That is the whole job. The Commission says the system lets users prove they are over 18 without sharing other personal information, and that it should meet a high privacy standard. The technical documentation also says users should be able to present proof of age without revealing their exact age, name, or other sensitive details. Good. That is the right goal. But the current architecture still leans too heavily on an identity-wallet-style credential model. It involves Attestation Providers, Age Verification App Instances, Relying Parties, trusted lists, reusable app infrastructure, and Proof of Age attestations issued in batches. The spec says the app presents a Proof of Age attestation to a relying party, and relying parties verify the attestation through the trust framework. That may be elegant for digital identity infrastructure. It is not automatically the best privacy design for age-gating the web. If the purpose is only to keep minors away from age-restricted services, the service does not need an identity credential. It does not need a reusable proof that resembles a passport-lite. It does not need anything that can become a behavioural marker across websites. It needs one answer: Passed. That is it. A better design would look like this: Age verification → local proof generation → verified result → single-use cryptographic token → service receives only the token. The age check happens on the user’s device. The app calculates a fresh proof every time. The service sends a challenge nonce. The app returns a response proving “over 18” for that session only. The proof is not stored on a server. It is not linked to the user’s legal identity. It is not reusable across websites. It is not a browsing ID wearing a privacy badge. Call it a checksum if you want the simple version, but technically it must be stronger: a nonce-bound, domain-separated cryptographic proof. Otherwise, a website could copy it, replay it, or compare it across services. The EU’s own documentation already points in this direction. Its Zero-Knowledge Proof annex says the app could generate a proof confirming that the user meets an age threshold without disclosing exact age or other personal details, and that the relying party would receive and verify the proof. It also describes a model where the proof uses a nonce and hides the underlying attestation as a private input. So here is the obvious question: Why is this not mandatory? In the current requirements, the Age Verification App “SHALL” implement presentation protocols, but only “SHOULD” implement the Zero-Knowledge Proof mechanism. That is the weak point. Privacy should not be optional in a system that can become mandatory infrastructure for accessing huge parts of the web.

@Ultraprimus1209 @kurayamiiuu james gets arrested for his drawings

@kurayamiiuu TONIGHT James draws something on his tablet I lost all my money on an anime gambling game And Hammond drives a weebmobile

HOLY MOLY IS THAT !!

@pink_li0n @iamsropb thats not the point the point is that if you dont turn off your phone (whether you want to continue watching or not) it generates clicks which is then used for advertising and ultimately making the website money

@solarmoon_vr @iamsropb If you can’t even wash your hands without having constant stimulation from short form content I think there’s bigger fish in your life to fry

Auto-scroll is probably the stupidest feature on any social media app by a landslide why does it even exist

@DylanMcD8 Funny how right under this tweet there was an add for ai slop

Aw mannnnn this is really sad. I’m so tired of what is happening to the consumer tech industry right now.

@Techjunkie_Aman how long until they bend the knee and implement identity verification?

CachyOS is making Windows look outdated. Latest update adds: • Fingerprint unlock for sudo • Built-in DNS privacy (DoH) • Automatic restore point after install • New simpler package manager • Better hardware detection + performance What this means: • More secure • Faster system • Easier to maintain No ads. No tracking. No forced updates. This is Arch Linux… but without the usual pain. How long before more people switch?

@ProtonPrivacy Yes they should make on device parental controls easier to use and more obvious But that's hardly within Facebook's control.

"Technology companies should never become gatekeepers for every adult on the internet, but they must still do their part. They must direct their design firepower toward improving parental-control features at both the app and device levels. These should be obvious and easy to use, not an afterthought scattered across hidden menus. This puts the power and authority to protect children firmly where it belongs: with parents." proton.me/blog/keep-age-…

@Lychibe well you wont be in prison with robbers and murderers because they dont get arrested or convicted

Genuinely what does this do cause doesn't this just take police resources away? Who is this hurting? Who is this protecting? Imagine being in the same prison as a robber or murderer cause you have a bunch of weird anime drawings on your phone 😭

@NateH8574 @TheMenyaHime @minawawawaw and the problem is that for some reason society has decided that rape allegations must always be true. so while the court might find you innocent, your life will still be practically over

@TheMenyaHime @minawawawaw You and me had sex WITH CONSENT We both finish Everything is fine We have a falling out You who is lying: POLICE THIS GUY RAPED ME AS I REVOKED CONSENT DURING SEX! How do I prove in court you are lying?

Revocable at any time? "Oh hey, I regret fucking you so you raped me" Go jail you nerd.

@Bubzuri emulation isnt piracy but ok

Do you agree with Diana?

@TheMenyaHime @minawawawaw this is like the last area of legislation where i'd want imprecise language

@minawawawaw This is poorly worded. It's referring to the moment of act, and situation. Not retroactively for things such as regret.

@BenjaminMo50449 @OnlyBangersEth Liability reasons

@OnlyBangersEth Why do people have to record themselves doing shit, can’t we just help animals and people without “hold on let me get my phone out for this”.

ups driver saving ranchers cattle 😭

@catgirlprostate call it machine learning and be done with it.

This is the kinda shit that makes it impossible to be completely anti AI, this is legitimately magic software, replacing menial work nobody wants to do

@StxrlightSinner yeah computers are important like i wouldnt wanna do numerical control by hand

The first C in CNC is very important.

@MadGhostVP I'm gonna try making my own which would help in some situations like when I have a vision or some environmental clue But other times I just go through the poses I downloaded and one of them just sort of makes the subject

@solarmoon_vr I feel you there are really so many pose packs out there tho I'm sure you will find some you like!

Late Night Fun. #Cyberpunk2077 #PhatomLiberty #JudyAlvarez #JudyPosting #ValeriePosting #Blender

@f4micom i wish this application a happy toaster bath

accelerate this recommendation into a wall thanks
