| 11 months ago | mod | Removed Comment if you think your average linux distro is trustworthy, you're mad.
there's a tons of binary blobs, not to mention all the known and unknown hardware backdooers that you can't remove by running linux.
most of the software your average user installs is untrustworthy as well.
the security model of linux is outdated at best, no proper isolation of programs. the linux kernel is leaky as heck and filled with tons of bloat.
You can get a Intel ME disabled laptop or a 15 year old one one that never had it, then put on some FSF approved OS that bans closed source software and compiles everything from scratch, isolates every program like with jails or Qubes or one of the newfangled container based OSes and tunnels all your internet traffic through some sorf of anonymization layer like Tor or I2P and ideally it's all happening in memory only and never writes to disk. But then again we know there are hidden microcontrollers with full memory access hidden behind obscure instructions in CPUs.
You can't tell me those aren't insane lengths.
Practically speaking there is no such thing as a "trustworthy" computer and suggeting linux magically makes it trustworthy is laughable. Completely ridiculous.
You need hardware disconnects on all sensors and physical obstruction of devices like cameras in order to have some level of certainty that they aren't being misused. by DavidGarcia@feddit.nl reason: Community rule 3 |

| 11 months ago | mod | Removed Comment If this is for surveillance, it’s an absolute nothingburger. Your face is *public data*, not something protected by privacy. Period. Your boarding pass is already tracking your location at a specific time, so the photo doesn’t do anything about tracking either. The only practical use for this is quick identity verification.
I will be very happy to change my mind if someone can give me a *specific* privacy violation, but no one has said anything except vague murmurs about “tracking”.
Now if they [require you to unlock your phone](https://www.ncesc.com/do-you-have-to-unlock-your-phone-for-tsa/)? Yeah. That’s a BIG fucking privacy violation. by Pennomi@lemmy.world reason: rule 3 |
| 11 months ago | mod | Removed Comment This is basically fear mongering. You're worried about what they might do rather than what they are doing, which is not keeping the pics taken at kiosks. This is even mentioned in the article.
I'd certainly be worried about any plans they have, but skipping the pics now isn't doing anything for either party unless you don't believe what they say. Which is fair enough, but you'd need to provide a reason to doubt it. by Alexstarfire@lemmy.world reason: rule 3 |

The government might use your picture for something nefarious in the future we can't even think of an example of besides real-time tracking. ooooOOOOOoooOooo.
You are on candid camera every time you're in the airport guys. You're probably carrying a tracking device in your pocket already. This article doesn't say anything about anything, it's slop.

| 1 year ago | mod | Removed Comment > since if I lose the device they’re connected to then I get locked out myself.
lmao that's the whole point. You __can't__ connect/logon without the second factor, which you've lost. This is intentional and by design because _it's secure_. Giving you a plethora of restoration options just increases your attack surface. What's the point of 2FA if I can impersonate you, say I lost my 2FA device, and have them reset your account? Now I just have to brute force your password and I'm in. 2FA no longer helps you.
Software based 2FA is superior and you can easily take your seed string to multiple 2FA systems. Like if you use Bitwarden as a password solution, you can import your 2FA seed into Bitwarden to have your 2FA TOTP within Bitwarden in addition to your phone or whatever other software you use. This way, if you lose your phone you can still login.
There are solutions and ultimately it's up to you to ensure that you have access to your account not because services are mean and want to hurt you, but because you're a big boy. They give you security tools and how you use them is up to you.

| 1 year ago | mod | Removed Comment > Are you really sitting here trying to argue that big tech companies like Google and Microsoft somehow has our best interests at heart
No, I'm going to sit here and argue that you're a big boy blaming other people for your own mistakes. If Google is so _obviously evil and out to get you_ then don't use them. If you do, then that's your own fault, number one. Number two, you sound like some teenager that's yelling at their mommy because they lost their last $20 bill in the laundry. If you're so pissed, then do your own damn laundry...
Software based TOTP have plaintext seeds that are portable and you can add in multiple, hell, even hundreds of devices if you want. Why you __choose__ not to do that isn't anyone's fault but your own. That's how I do it. And you could punch me in the dick and steal my phone right now and I could have my Google password changed before you even get back to your house because I'm not a fuckin' idiot. I don't keep all my eggs in one basket, like you do, apparently.
Simple fact of the matter is, is that you have all the tools to make this a complete non-issue and actively choose to make it an issue for yourself... I'm not defending 2FA as perfect. It of course has flaws. But the portability of TOTP seeds isn't one of them.
