We know that it is a human right to be fed. Though do wealthy individuals have the privilege to choose their diet?

It is quite toxic that the new #GNOME 42 version on #Fedora 36 changed the default #git editor to #nano from #vim

Did give me the opportunity to update it to #nvim instead.

How does the air pressure change while riding an elevator? Assuming the elevator is not pressurized.

Finally upgraded to #fedora 36

This morning was great! Checked my phone and was confused why I am not getting any mobile or wifi connections. I thought that the chip set was broken. Only to realize moments later that the electricity was out for the whole town, which probably impacted the cell tower as well.

Do you think you have the right to phish someone back who tried to phish you in the first place?

Is it just me or is this a malicious attempt to get my phone number?

It is interesting how we are more accepting for women to share skin in comparison to men, even in the professional aspect. Like if a female speaker wears a sleeveless blouse, that seems fashionable. Though on the other side if a male speaker did it similarly, we would think that he is unprofessional.

As a ploy to make our future passwordless Big-Tech is trying to use phones as an alternative to a USB stick to incorporate FIDO.

SSO has definitely eased the option of making multiple accounts for multiple services and I wish there were more open source alternatives out there compared to the two big ones: Google and Facebook.

Afaik all what Big-Tech is trying to do is use the ssh key pair that most developers use as their daily standard, available to the common person. This is definitely a win in that regards.

Though it seems like it opens the door to more tracking and easier data compromise if the phone is taken away from oneself. Most people probably use fingerprint or facial unlock for convenience to get into their phones, which is a very poor security feature. The swipe or pin (length 4) options are a bit more secure, though can easily be brute forced. The password is still the most secure option to unlock a device.

The problem I see is that although Big-Tech is trying to tackle phishing attacks on common users, they really aren't educating the user. Since they are putting one more obstacle in the potential attackers way from the off-site attack. But they are also removing one obstacle from on-site attacks.

Time will tell if this security change will be an improvement or not.

I can imagine that attackers will use similar strategies as they do now to get access to Google accounts. Plus it seems like that attacks onto Google accounts will be more rewarding, since Google stated that they will be storing these keys in every users account. Looks like this might create an even bigger gold mine once a Google account has been hacked.
