@Natasha_Jay i think there was one episode where the coyote had dialogue, but just reads out a business card describing himself as a genius

People are shocked to discover they need to fact-check ChatGPT and I'm having the uncomfortable realization that they never fact-checked their uncle's Facebook posts, their friend's medical advice, or literally anything Google's top result told them, and suddenly the last decade makes sense...

I was literally about to hit purchase on The Alters when the announcement it did in fact use GenAI and the studio will continue to use it dropped.

Guess no Frostpunk 2 either.

That's really fucking annoying, I was looking forward to playing them... welp back to Mechanicus 2 hype I guess.

@3a29 If Englebert Strauss didn’t want ravers and hackers and demosceners to wear their stuff they shouldn’t have made it go so fucking hard

I'd like to remind everyone in my thread calling me a Millenial for running Wayland that only my beard qualifies as millenial.

Low-key lost it when I noticed the main image on the Wikipedia page for business casual attire is just an edit of the nude figures from the Pioneer plaque

People of the Fediverse, stop everything. This is some true shit happening here: Two-Factor Authentication, a thread:

In French, the word for "factor" is "facteur". But it has another meaning: mailman. Yes, the one who delivers letters in your physical mailbox. For this reason, there is a funny meme in French where 2FA is in fact your mailman coming in and confirming that it's you.

Now you need to know: My absolute wifey and I are buying an appartment like the absolute bourgeoises that we are, and our heads should be on pikes when the day comes.

Because of all the legal stuffs and documents, we need to electronically sign stuff and some form of hard identification system is used. i.e. 2FA.

But, it is not your usual OTP based authentication. They need to:

ensure the target person receives the documents
the target person is indeed the person they think they are

Here comes the real shit:

We are required to send a video of our ID card AND videos of our gorgeous faces for a HOOMAN to masturbate to and attest we are indeed us.

And these people are: the fucking Post

REAL FRENCH MAILMEN will 3-mailmen authenticate us

THE MEME IS TRUE

My boy is literally taking minutes to authenticate my face. I do think the penis is thinking

Face-checked by Real French Patriot Mailmen ✅

Gurwinner/Gally Jun 28

@StupidCamille Congrats !
However for the authentification à deux facteurs to work you indeed need two facteurs, so I think they were two masturbating

@Gurwinner I hope they were together and sharing comments

@tut_tuuut 😂

@cedric @StupidCamille you know I literally put that meme in the latest version of my conference about 2FA? Great success 😄

@tut_tuuut @cedric Really?! Tell me more!

@tut_tuuut @cedric @mixitconf thank you so much!

Ragon2 Jun 28

@StupidCamille You could also go directly to a post office and meet a real postier in person to do this.
Or two real postiers. Or many more finding your way to the right guichet.
This could be 10FA if you try hard enough

@Ragon2 as many FA as I please
This is becoming kinky and I like it

@StupidCamille pretty sure thats what the germans do if you want to register for... parcel lockers

Lou 🔪🌞Jun 28

@StupidCamille Camille you're buying a house to live in. That's not bourgeois shit. You're not siphoning the income of the peasants

@kouett but I can lend my basement to some student 👉👈
(joke joke joke, kill me if I do that lmao)

gkrnours Jun 28

@StupidCamille here is a valid two factor, it check something that's you and something you own (a fricking house). The meme above isn't valid, both postperson check the same thing (something you own, your likeliness)

@gkrnours they're merely checking something owned by the government (me) 😔

@gkrnours but to be fair, the meme works mostly because of the two common meanings of "facteur" in French. Actually, the very first meaning I can think of when using that word is postman, and then a factor

gkrnours Jun 28

@StupidCamille I understand that and I really like the joke on the "facteur" being the second factor. On the other hand, there is a more "dark" humour on password manager also doing totp and if you do that, you collapse password and totp (you know your password and you own the phone holding the totp) into a single factor (the password manager). Which is what happens in the meme picture. The two facteurs are a single factor of authentication.

@gkrnours yes yes we do agree

Azu Jun 28

@StupidCamille theres even more layers, as in germany there's literally an identification procedure for online stuff by the postal servuce. It's called "postident"

@StupidCamille @xinit avocat is still the best. Only French speakers understand the threat of making guacamole out of a lawyer.

@ska
In Dutch 'advocaat' is both a lawyer and an alcohol-loaded custard. Both could be soft and filled with booze, though....

@StupidCamille I was about to comment that this post is a great commentary about the role of the postal services in the new digital world, and then I've read the rest of the thread

@me people always complain about how the postal service is archaic, unreliable and stuff. But the reality is that they truly live in the future xD they are ahead of memes lmao

ticho Jun 28

@StupidCamille Great, now computer security will need to develop against a new type of attack - in addition to "evil maid attacks", we might see an uptick in "evil postman attacks". :)

@ticho Imagine, suspect packages and parcel bombs, but on TCP

Lou 🔪🌞Jun 28

@StupidCamille @ticho *sncf voice* due to a suspect packet on port 26292, all TCP connections will be suspended for a few minutes during the time of bomb squad operations

thank you for your understanding

@StupidCamille wieso, hier heißt das PostIdent.

GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺Jun 28

@StupidCamille C'est vrai qu'en général, c'est le facteur qui connaît tout le monde !

Frosch B Jun 28

@StupidCamille side twist: in germany wie have a postal service called "Postident" where you can go to a post office and have them confirm that it's you :D
fits, doesn't it ...
