:D

I’ll see if i can find something specifically about what you are asking, but I would be surprised if anyone has taken the time to try to bounce WiFi. The wavelength might not be amenable to bouncing, as it is such a high frequency signal. If I recall correctly, there is a relatively narrow range of wavelength that will actually bounce back to earth off of the atmosphere.

We need journalism, not vitriol, in !humanrights@lemmy.sdf.org <- I’m the moderator there. Just saying, if you see something in the news that speaks to the human right to privacy, we’ll spread the news if you cross-post it.

Article 12, UN UDHR

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

Have any resources to journalistic articles that describe the way in which Meta implementing ActivityPub would be bad for the Fediverse?

Happy to highlight any !Privacy@lemmy.ml human rights concerns (right to privacy, right to share opinions, etc.) on !humanrights@lemmy.sdf.org

Good catch, I add archive links to everything, but doing it by hand right now, so sometimes I miss them.

Sorry about that.

Planning on writing a script or something to handle archiving.

You cannot buy a decentralised network!

Haha that is a great idea! Give the landmine kill a special animation just to make sure that the cheaters get the message or let them figure it out in time lol?

Heh, did you share that inventory technique on news.ycombinator? I could have sworn that I read a story there a team doing that.

I know exactly what you are talking about - I was digging into the modding of this one game and happened upon a cheater’s forum. Blew my mind that the first step was to completely gut your computer’s security lol. But at the same time, was enlightening to see that. Seems like some of the work has been moved to the Anti-Cheat systems, but I’m guessing that there must be large gaps in what the AC can actually do for you at the application level?

Heh, I saw it on news.ycombinator.com back when it was announced- they have made strides if you can access TSA now!

In the beginning it was just a form for every manner of authentication and then a big CTA, essentially telling other .gov entities to start making project requests.

yeah ;) i have a sweet spot for it because of the graphics for the map, heh

trek, if we are talking about classics (i’m still not good at it), but I grew up with MUDs, so those are my favorites. i got to play a little zork in the BBS days, and Legend of the Red Dragon.

Hmm, LORD might have been my favorite of all time, if I had to pick one terminal-ish game.

edit: i’ll have to check out atc, btw, i havent played it yet

lol we still play some old UNIX games at SDF every now and then, but we’re not all graybeards either

Kudos for looking out first your future self - I had to leave the field entirely after it got to the point where I couldn’t stand to look at a computer anymore. Still can’t for more than an hour, two years later.

I intend to reply more later, because this does deserve a longer reply, but I am short on steam.

In the meantime, have you heard of login.gov? Check that out. The day that .com gets a hook into that is the day that identity problems are (mostly) solved.

Risk management is the name of the game, as always, eh?

That’s a slick technique for anti-cheat, heh. What did you think of the Call of Duty “fake data” approach? That cracked me up - things in game that only cheaters can see, so they end up self-reporting themselves as cheaters lol

I spent about a decade in the enterprise software development space, so I totally get it. I couldn’t put it into words as well as you did, however.

After watching the FCC bigwigs debate robocalls several years ago, I’ve become a believer in a future where your internet access is always authenticated to your real life ID, dark web excepted of course.

In their case, it was posited as a best-in-class solution to the problem of spam in the telephony space. Same logic applies to email. I mean, look at what Twixxer did with the verified checkmark requiring a credit card. The trend is already there.

I get the fear of being de-anonymized on the internet, but it may be the case of something we hate being something we need, when you start to throw deepfakes into the mix.

Let’s talk about the security of using email to do anything in this day and age.

Security ain’t free.

lol “security” in this case is probably more like expediency in trying to solve a spam problem

I know exactly how you feel, friend. Happy to help :)

The regret and heartache is reasonable to feel for a little while - for individuals like him, they often need to do work on themselves on the scale of decades, not months or years. It would be a major lifestyle choice to be the committed, supportive partner/caretaker to someone like that. And it takes major emotional labor and can potentially be dangerous. Scars highly likely.

Feel good about doing what you can to help the person along in their journey while maintaining your own healthy boundaries.

And remember to be compassionate to yourself.

Watch out for the charmers that do the equivalent of love bombing but with charm. Once they have charmed your pants off, the charm stops and the harm starts. That early charm can be a classic abuser trait.
