31·19 days agoWhen I get a card I need to verify my identity somehow, times past that was me going to the bank, signing a form and showing my ID card. Fucking Tim Apple or Satya McGoogle didn’t have a role in that, why should they now?
The government did though in supplying said ID, so there was a centralised trustable organisation that the bank could depend on for verification.

6·19 days agoOne or more neutral organizations could exist certifying devices and operating systems without providing a centralized API. Those organizations could simply provide signed releases with the roots of trust, revoked keys and operating system key fingerprints. Apps could use multiple different certifying organizations. This is already something Android’s hardware attestation API fully supports today.
Then why doesn’t GrapheneOS offer that alternative to banks etc

Autism@lemmy.world•Anyone notice how all (well intentioned) advice for autistic people is just "mask harder"?English
2·25 days agoI’ve heard that. It may differ depending on culture. Some see it as bragging. In some places it’s illegal to discuss in the workplace.

93·1 month agoThey should default to a more modern interface rather than asking newbies to make the change.
I completed Nier Automata via GeForce Now just fine. Competitive shooters maybe not, but that’s just a subset of gaming anyway.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Government abandons plans to delay 30 council electionsEnglish
1·2 months agoNo I’m saying that the British government could pass primary legislation if it really wanted to and cancel the elections. Parliament is sovereign, but they just cancelled these elections in a really cack-handed way that forced them to backtrack (although they could in theory still take this route).
They didn’t really have that choice for the EU elections.

Agreed. But can I ask though did he not seem like a poor decision maker and organiser in 2016? Why did you vote for him a second time?

5·2 months agoIn one focus group before the election, someone said: ‘At least Tony Benn gave his title up.’ It’s like they saw Keir’s knighthood as hereditary.
Benn also gave his title up because it actively barred him from being an MP.
The general public, man.
