Not a federal ID, but a federal standard for State IDs. And not “only”, but SocSec card is one of the several forms of ID you could use. Not required and not enough by itself.

Between this Anthem, Target, and OPM, it seems likely that most Americans have their SSN out there for criminals to buy.

Which is why we should refer to them as “DMs” or “direct messages”.

Ahh, its you. You’re the problem.

no one should be permitted to create or transmit the likeness of anyone [prior to, say, 20 years following their death] without their explicit, written permission.

I dig the sentiment. I do. And If this were my own fantasy world, I’d agree. But unfortunately, we don’t live in the timeline where that is considered even close to reasonable.

Well sure, I know that now (much later, only after seeing it on Lemmy.) My point is that a single brief line of text in the app listing could make it clear without the need to google it.

A few weeks ago, I was reinstalling my phone and stumbled across Fossify Gallery while looking for Simple Gallery Pro. I assumed they were a shady copycat because their app listing (on F-Droid) makes no mention of Simple Mobile Tools, yet it appears to be a fork. Consequently, I avoided it because it seemed shady. Turns out, SMT was bought.

I would have trusted this a lot more easily if the f-droid listing made it clear what is going on here. Maybe the (contributor to SMT) Dev who forked to Fossify was trying to avoid legal entanglements or something, but it made Fossify seem sketchy if you dont know the backstory, which I had no way of knowing.

Anyway, here is the corrected link to Fossify’s github: https://github.com/FossifyOrg

Oldman is so fucking good.

The whole Internet doesnt have anything interesting or important? My dude, you might be doing it wrong.

Same. I have worked at facilities where the only parking allowed was facing out, or you would be towed.

First the one, then the other.

There’s so much ignorance in this comment, it’s got to be bait…right?

I suppose one might believe things were that simple if they lacked actual experience in enterprise IT.

Or perhaps you’re just not arguing in good-faith because you only care about being “right” and not about actually understanding the use case.

That’s not at all practical in a large corporate IT setting.

No, its not easily replaced in a locked-down enterprise setting. That’s naive.

When I was in college I told my girlfriend’s dad I was a Marxist and he “quoted” someone on the topic (which I’m pretty sure was made up on the spot):

Never trust anyone who wasn’t a Marxist before age 25 or was, after.

The time to buy a gun is before the fascists arrive at your door.

Good. Fuck everything about Facebook and their advertising empire. Let it burn.

Hmm. On second thought, I’ll fire up A1111 and start making fakes to fuel the fire.
