And they’re not doing it to protect their customers. They’re doing it so only they have this data.

Your identity, most of the time, is not revealed to the merchant. The payments online and through a credit-card machine are processed through a 3rd party. The seller doesn’t get your info, only money on their bank account.
Doesn’t your credit card provider still get all your data?
E.g. doesn’t visa/mastercard know about every transaction? They charge fees and they have a fraud prevention systems. So, I think, they do, right?
Me in yurop, using a debit MasterCard, never needed a credit score. Who has my data, what are they doing with it, and how do I burn down their server?
(The answer, kids, is Stripe. Give it some years, it will be lit)
And so what? You could be an oil dictatorship prince and donate a billion to Signal. It’s not going to compromise it in any way that is not directly auditable.
So, your fuckin question is misguided. You’re “only asking questions” while implying intent.
What part of non-profit and open-source do you not understand?
Review the source, build it yourself, be happy. It uses well-known assymetric encryption algorithms. Not much your agency could really do here even if they harvest all the traffic from the server.
Dude, it’s a non-profit, and their biggest contribution is money that was made by selling WhatsApp to Facebook. Cuz the guy just couldn’t live with what happened to his creation.
the title is dyslexic at best
People run around with smartphones, everyone needs to register at their residency address, most people casually pay by card/phone literally everywhere, e.g. you could tell how much they drunk on a Friday night and in what bar, but oh boy, no, no, no, lemmy needs to pay for car 20k in cash, so the car salesman could cheat on taxes.
You’re confused. You talk about EU but bring up an example from your broken af dumbfuckistan.
It’s illegal to discriminate like this in the EU and the credit score bs doesn’t exist, and everyone with a stable job gets their house mortgage.
This new measure will only stop criminals and money laundering or tax evasion. It will have absolutely zero impact on your regular citizens.
Next in the news: cloud infrastructure engineer had ssh keys in plain text on their MacBook exposing 99999 servers! Everything you ever stored on the internet is potentially compromised!
History is important, although more recent history books have better evidence and data than old ones. Literature, generally, ages well, although it’s mostly survival bias. A lot of it perishes without any loss to the society. Movies sorta age well. Again, only some. Games don’t age well.
Great. In order to prove your commitment to the cause, get to level 8 in dangerous dave.
Your nostalgia is a bad reason for starting anything really. Most hopefully you won’t push your nostalgia on your children and force them to play outdated games.
It would be great if game developers would open source games when they sunset them, sure. But also this might make it impossible for them to make a remaster of the game and sell it.
You mention doom. But this is a 0.1% case. Thousands of games from that era vanished not because you cannot run them on modern hardware, but because they’re utter garbage by modern standards.
https://dos.zone/ exists, and you can play a lot of iconic games in your browser. What’s exactly the player count there? And those are the best games from that era.
yep, a tiny boot error and suddenly you need to punch commands into initramfs. good luck with that headlessly.
If you’re degoogling, then just do that instead of freeloading on google services and complaining that they either have to monetize your data or shove ads down your throat.
Find a paid service free of any of that. There are multiple out there.
meh, they’ll learn that we like their hardware and their OS, but not their spyware. If everyone does that, you’ll see next thing they do is start cutting down the spying.
TL;DR branch prediction is unsafe, but what are you gonna do, take a 50% performance hit?
Please disable your firewall to be able to access the car steering features.
Good point. Time to gdpr my bank.
