Hello Privacy Subscribers of Lemmy, I’m Webhost0101. With the help of ChatGPT, I’ve been exploring the challenges we face with digital identity, particularly regarding the use of email addresses. I’ve developed a concept aimed at enhancing privacy and security in our digital interactions....
I mean, a fair amount of people have point out my system is flawed and has been done better so its kinda a waste of time but i don’t think these are good against arguments against it so i will try to clarify this a bit more.
The sign is not a point of entry, it doesn’t matter that people can copy it anymore than people can have the same first name as you. There is very little anyone can win by knowing or copying your sign except maybe light bullying. It definiteness inst worse then what stranger can do with your email address. It is a name people can use to identify you but its not a proof of identity on its own, you’d need to combine it with something like a password for that.
At this point of time every site, every store every account is made using your email, the databases already exist. Rather then just inventing a brand new system for new sites, i though of something that could work with the current one. They only need to check their existing database once per email and change it into the hash, so now the user can login using the hash and can no longer login using he email.
The email verification thing is bog standard procedure we use today build in every account registration setup to guarantee that its the owner of the email that is making an account, i would be using it the same way to make sure you cant create a code for someone elses emai. You may wander how to do this when there is no more email in the registration for other sides. Easy, there is no initial check, its not a problem irl that people have the same name, neither is it a real problem that someone used your sign for a login, i cant see a reason why they would but next to forgot pasword there is now “Someone else has used my sign” In this case the site could still ask an email address as a secondary identifier, Cross reference the email again the code itself (as the code contains the algorithm to convert the email into the code), send standard verification mail so the owner can proof ownership. old account gets deleted and they get a new one. Using someone else sign cant be stopped just like you can pick any first and last name on facebook but because we know the signs to be unique it should be against TOS to create an account using someone a sign made with an email you don’t own without permission.
This has gone on to long again, its a flawed idea, i wont actually execute it and i pretty much expected it to be shot down, the feedback is still valuable to me, which is why i did it.
I’ll summarize myself and my initial intentions in a final stance.:
I firmly stand again the practice of using email addresses as usernames for online identities, there are good reasons for sites to require your email address but a username or way to login is not a good reason for such sensitive communication-information.
My initial idea what that sites could look up a combo of an email and sign to see if they are a match by Looking up the algo used to make it.
But I realized this wasn’t all that necessary once i realized you can include the hashing protocol in the code so sites that you have account for can verify on their own without third party.
I guess i forgot that there is no point left for the sites to be used to verify as all it really will tell you is that yes that is a valid sign registered here. But i see no reason why a competitor cant try the same thing.
This is why i never finished 4, the main chest ruined an otherwise very entertain-able way, i was about become a dad, am now. The player character made no sense to me and i felt like the game was forcing me trough the main quest line before i was supposed to do anything else.
Seriously though how did you write something so personal and yet described my life so well.
Like the only difference is that you are a non theist satanist anarchist. While i am an agnostic spiritual anarchist having Jesus (but not god) as an example of a good.
This is Disney we talk about so getting sued is probably expected, they will explain in court how your character ripped of theirs, you defend. Court decides.
If you can point to a non Disney older source where these same details are present you have a likely win.
If there is a Christopher Robbins in the original you can use the name but if there is not it then having roughly the same letters or sound will likely be a loss.
Of course this more assumed law theory of not a layer. Some rich dudes can just trademark the name of fruit, a basic word or even a single letter and we just let them.
It’s a well-known fact that Google spies on users, which isn’t anything new. However, the fact that they are now using this as a reference in a marketing meme is insulting....
The reason I gave up on MP3’s and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I’ve been listening “Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds” song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I’m trying to find “Stremio” of the music world. Can someone assist?...
I am glad those work for you but music is very subjective and personal and these wont work for me. and my autistic peculiar tastes
I literally just managed to build a system so i never need to see the youtube website again. Its what made me wonder if i could do the same for Spotify
When looking something up, especially technical product information the best answer is still often a reddit link. That will change in the future but it will take time.
Old.reddit is the only way yo access this information without account but i paradoxically cant wait for them to shut it down cause the quicker reddit completely dies the faster other places will become knowledge hubs.
It never was the pinnacle of knowledge, i am not on many different forums and only in the last year have started to avoid internet search where possible but often neither google or bing have satisfying results with only a single reddit link that may have the answer.
I wont question the creative value of your meme but it would be a misconception to assume its more effort then an ai image just because its an ai image.
Shitposts exists, both with ai an without Thoughtfull artistic expression exists, both with ai and without.
I understand the misconception, you could most certainly enter some vague crap and get a popping result and as long as it gets upvote it will be common.
When I personally make ai art i spend hours on end just tweaking the parameters and prompt to get them to stay in context of my idea. Then let it run a few hours. Analyse those output to “harvest” seeds, then use those seeds and varying amount of tools (including photoshop with drawing tablet) to in a few iterations generate a final image or set.
I wouldn’t compare it to painting or drawing, (most i do with tablet is draw guidelines) but its absolutely a creative process. Like all art, value depends more on the person then the tools used.
If your exposure of ai generated images is exclusively tech demos like the one on bing sure thats what happening.
Its not what’s happening in the art space though, i propose you a challenge to proof the effort.
Install automatic1111 with stable diffusions. (one of the few actual proper ai generating tools, most sites/appa that promise ai generated art use a dumb version of this tool under the hood.
Use it to Create a poster for a classic video game in the style of modern animation without any visible Disney/pixar logos.
Good luck, most people give up before they Get their first proper output.
Thats a fair point. “Ai art” might be a meme but ai art on itself a meme does not make!
It makes sense its posted so much because of the low barrier for entry to make something looks good in a glance. Its excellent for generating fake internet points. But a meme is much more like that, its an evolution of fluid speech and expressive communication.
That making memes is easy isn’t important towards its value but mandatory of we don’t want to go back to the times where written language was exclusive to the upper classes.
Lemmy has in many ways an anti-ai bias against the shortcomings of last years demos, For space supposedly with so many tech oriented progressives that annoys me quite a bit, but i fully agree with you on your stance.
Ai art could be a meme if made into one, but if its not then it should not be in a place for memes.
Thats the bro they get their weed from and regularly invites them together for a sesh. Single handedly keeping the peace in the building. Real guru that one.
Sure, an individual forum shouldn’t carry the responsible to protect all human rights on that forum. But as an anarchist i object to the authority of a centralized state so i cant see it their job either.
In my ideals humanity is a collective of people and all of us carry the responsibility to safeguard the wellbeing of all people, as a collective. People who have been at the rejected end of continued intolerance know how damaging it can be for ones health.
Currently i dont know any true safe online spaces for the world most misguided or seriously ill people. So where can these people go? Social isolation is an echo chamber of their own mind.
Lemmy.ml doesnt need a nazi community but as - moral global human collective we should at least maintain lists of resources to help those struggling (with morality). A simple “we dont allow this here but here is a list of resources” ranging from social media to mental heath providers, or better social media monitored by non authoritative mental health providers.
You are doing what you can, as a volunteer no less so that on its own deserves all of my respect. I am fully aware my ideals are idealistic and even radical, i have no belief that i one day may see them true exactly as i imagine them. I will still promote them fully because my rationalize is that by aiming for ideal perfections we can nudge reality as close to it as is possible. Every small step on the way is a huge victory.
My ideas are on the opposite side of the spectrum.
The internet and software we have today is already a very low quality, there are ads everywhere which create a sensory hellscape for neurodivergents on the spectrum like me.
The only way i can still use the internet is trough an advanced filter. I cannot use youtube anymore and rely on a script to download from channels automatically. Discord used to be ok but is now stuffed with so much nonsense that is constantly pushed in my face i think of leaving it too. I left reddit for the same reason.
Even color codes are being copyrighted. Photoshop requires a subscription to use pantone colors and files that previously used those colors get altered to no longer use them. Its sick. Enshitification is real and increasing.
The best parts of the web are foss, its what makes lemmy superior to reddit.
There is a really simple but admittedly very radical solution to not needing to destroy anyones livelihood. Its called object the notion that people need to “earn a living” no one is alive by choice, everyone is in the same boat trying to survive. It makes no sense that we owe anyone anything for the privilege of a decent life.
Society wont collapse, there will still be people contributing. I know i will. I love my job, i get to help people with my expertise, the worst part is that my health somehow depends on it.
