There’s JMP.chat or SMSPool (rentable non-VOIP) which accepts Monero.

KDE Plasma.

GNOME kind of looks nice but is too strict on customization.

TF2 Never gets boring. I’ve been doing the same thing in TF2 for over 1500 hours

90% of people who joined Lemmy (or the fediverse in general) are tech savvy enough to wrap their head around the concept of federation.

PSA hitting your power button (5)? times in a row (however many it takes to bring up the SOS screen) on an iPhone will disable biometric login until you’ve entered your password again.

I responded to that with:

That does not encrypt your storage. It simply disables the biometric authentication methods. Which means they can see your stuff if they get into the phone via a exploit.

That emergency mode that is activated by hitting the power button 5 times does not encrypt the storage. It merely disables the biometric authentication methods and possibly other things related to security, but it does not encrypt the storage. The phone stays in the AFU state and therefore the decryption keys are still somewhere in the hardware chip’s memory.

I never said anything about the phone not being encrypted by default. I am talking about the emergency mode iOS devices have.

Correct, though it still is saved somewhere. Just like how TPMs in Computers can be exploited as well, this also can be. What I meant in my original comment was that the emergency mode did not clear that hardware chip’s storage, which others said otherwise.

edit: corrected mistake according to ethan

You didn’t read the article you linked to, did you?

The encryption by default you speak of is before the first unlock, that is, locked with something like a password or PIN. After the first unlock, the decryption key is stored in memory and your filesystem is pretty much vulnerable to anyone that can get access to the memory. That is why you can even unlock your phone with your face or fingers, because all that is a simple boolean value that indicates whether you logged in or not. You can’t “generate” or get a key from your face nor fingers.

That does not encrypt your storage. It simply disables the biometric authentication methods. Which means they can see your stuff if they get into the phone via a exploit.

No, CAPTCHAs can and will be bypassed. But you can make it expensive for bot hosters using PoW CAPTCHAs instead of normal ones. It’s also better privacy-wise.

QR Codes won’t work without the white margin.

What? People still use VB? dear god…

Who cares? VB is dead and long forgotten.

I do wonder how they get the money to plant these trees, hmm…

edit: oh, look at that! Even ecosia started getting into AI. Truly impossible for search engines not to get into AI territory these days, funny right? Even kagi did.
