on one hand I agree. on the other, google has historically been afraid of the verb to google becoming generic, so of course I'd like to see that happen.

I think the middle ground is say google it, but make it clear you mean google it on an alternative search engine

you don't think they'll just use some app to verify it? my state's mdl doesn't even show any personal info other than name, if they want birthday they have to scan it

fwiw, my state's mobile id app doesn't even ask for the location permission. so maybe some, but it's not universal

your phone isn't safe from anyone unless it's been restarted since last unlocked, and is reasonably new. they have exploits for after it's been unlocked incl while things are pinned

you realize they're more than just your picture on a screen, right? there's a whole public key private key verification process that happens, which covers your photo and personal info, at least from what I understand of ISO 18013-5.

if anything it should be almost impossible to make a fake mobile id, barring exploits in reader software or the govt leaking their private key.

I assume that's just the actual vegetable, Google translate says that's correct

yeah. stopping support helps end it, but in russia's favor

looks like misattribution looking at the linked comments. not something tim cook said, just someone replicating his routine but with the other mouse

but stability isn't something that would drive a gentoo user away either.

a lot of the draw of gentoo from what I saw was being able to configure everything down to how it gets compiled. it's simple to apply a patch to a package before it gets built or maintain a custom kernel config in nixos, as well as all the advantages of declarative os

that is a can of Folgers. I'd argue that incriminating a kitchen scale in the process makes it even worse

I've never used it but this one seems like the most complete currently, and it'll tell you which tests fail.

even with cpu passthrough some things are still emulated. you can run a vm detector and see for yourself what tests fail.

it may not affect your games but others should still be careful since it is a real issue, and people do get banned for it.
