Why oh why is everyone switching to "passwordless logins"?

"Its easier and more secure"

What, you mean having to fart around finding an email with a code in is "easier" than just tapping my thumbprint to unlock my password manager?

And by "more secure" you mean any attacker that gains access to my email can just log into anywhere without even having to jump through password reset hoops?

A quotation from Richard Steele

But however low and poor the taking of Snuff argues a Man to be in his own Stock of Thought, or Means to employ his Brains and his Fingers, yet there is a poorer Creature in the World than He, and this is a Borrower of Snuff; a Fellow that keeps no Box of his own, but is always asking others for a Pinch.

Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician

WIST Quotations

Well, Threads (SM platform - Meta) went full adverts recently, just like their other money spinners. It was fun while it lasted.

They also censor anti-zionist stuff… a lot. Seriously. Ex advisor to Netanyahu in charge of their censorship dept. Wuff. 😂

They even blocked and tried to delete a main news source account on there because it is anti-illegal wars and genocide. Instead, after an actual outcry, they now throttle its posts and reduce its reach instead.

Billionaire genocidal maniacs control almost all of our media now, is it any wonder the English were tricked into voting for ‘racist’ millionaires? (I don’t believe the folk controlling that party are honestly racist, I think it’s a convenient way to get the unwashed masses to vote for them, so the millionaires can pay even less tax once they have power)

Anyway. Hi again Mastodon. Glad we still have you. ♥️💙💜💚🧡🩷🤍

The Artificial Stupidity called Amazon support

My mother was asking me about this whole AI thing, and my take on it as a technical person. I in-turn asked her back, "What was your last experience with ...

i've always despised #bitcoin

but i understand the *concept* of starry eyed #techbros being into #crypto in the 2010s, when it was new and non-bitcoin projects like #ethereum were taking off. i don't buy the #hype, but some did

but now?

they left it, right?

they see it is, and always was, just #degenerates being milked by #whales via #marketManipulation

it's a tax on #stupidity

who is still doing crypto?

oh right: #criminals and #plutocrats and a #cult of #financial patsies

"…as tempting as it might be to ridicule the #Trump regime’s #stupidity — and there is no shortage of material for that — it is worth stepping back and asking: Who #benefits from the madness?

The world’s richest 500 people made a quarter trillion dollars in a single day when Trump threatened Iran with genocide and then abruptly about-faced and agreed to a ceasefire."

How to Explain the Inexplicable War in Iran?

The Iran war seems irrational to the point of inexplicable madness. But stepping back and assessing who benefits from that madness can bring some clarity.

Part 2
Tourists stupidity

2. The size of the hotel room surprised me!
-> You're too stupid to read! Practically every hotel in Japan specifies its room size in square meters.

3. They said cash only but didn't want to take dollars!
-> Perhaps the Japanese don't like your toy money?!

4. There are no trashbins!
-> Correct! Take your trash with you like anyone else.

5. Did the couple change seats?!
-> Maybe because you smell like a complete perfume shop?!

Part 1
Tourists stupidity

Today I had the pleasure of listening to a noisy group of tourists...

1. The employee doesn't understand me
-> Learn the basics of the country you're in. Greetings and check-in, please, are not difficult in Japanese.

Btw. How many languages do you speak?

Furthermore, you yourselves couldn't even speak proper English, only the vulgar version from the country with the orange president who has a dead ferret on his head.

Before we work on artificial intelligence
Why don't we do something about natural stupidity?

#humor #ai #stupidity

Xenophobic marches are being held across SA, the #ANC is saying little and doing nothing because they don't want to lose voters, other parties are actively joining in, #ActionSA, #PatrioticAlliance.

This is incredibly dangerous and stupid. South Africa has been looted by rich business men and corrupt state officials, not poor shop keepers and workers. One example, obviously corrupt Minister Sisisi Tolashe is still in her position.
