ID Verification Service for #TikTok, #Uber, X Exposed Driver Licenses

In this case, the ID verification vendor leaked admin credentials and exposed people’s information (sensitive documents and status of verification) for over a year.

All for “age verification” we introduce another EZ mode way for people’s real life identities to be compromised. Companies want you to provide sensitive documents to prove you’re real/your age but can’t be bothered to invest money/time/effort in basic #security to secure what you give them.

ID Verification Service for TikTok, Uber, X Exposed Driver Licenses

As social networks and porn sites move towards a verified identity model, the actions of one cybersecurity researcher show that ID verification services themselves could get hacked too.

LibreOfficeKit API in action - LibreOffice Development Blog

LibreOffice functionality can be used through UNO API, which is several years old, and provides many functionalities of LibreOffice through network or sockets. But the API is not helpful if you want to have the LibreOffice UI in your application.

Yeah, a little tone deaf I'd say. Especially with all of the posts that are like 'here is now (insert product that has nothing to do with ours) hurts your privacy'.
I get that Tuta also wants to advertise on TikTok, but to actively promote it as a place where you can read more on some meme is weird.

Barrieren begegnen allen, überall, jeden Tag. Aber während die einen statt des Aufzugs schnell die Treppe nehmen, kommen andere gar nicht ans Ziel. Dabei sind Barrieren so vielfältig wie die Menschen selbst.

@dnkrupinski Danke für den Hinweis. Das habe ich tatsächlich übersehen. Wenn ich lese, PDF zum Download, dann lade ich das herunter. Das andere wurde mir nicht vorgelesen, weil ich an der Stelle schon den Download ausgelöst habe und damit also das Vorlesen des Screenreaders unterbrochen habe, sodass er das nicht mehr ansagen konnte. Nun stellt sich mir trotzdem die Frage, warum man eine nichtbarrierefreie Version anbieten muss. Ich werde den Ausgangspost ändern.

Photo of early Chrome Alpha build before they'd locked down the UI.
A photograph of a book wheel designed to allow a reader to have 7 books open at once, located in a university library. It's clearly quite old, made from well polished wood and likely meant for having many books open while writing and requiring multiple references. Over top of the photo in black and white text is the statement "Kids these days have no attention span".

quando escreves que o voto em papel é “simples e acessível a todos”, ignoras a quantidade não irrelevante de almas que por nãoverem, não conseguirem usar as mãos ou não conseguirem chegar a uma assembleia de voto. Há algumas tentativas bem intencionadas, como a matriz em braille, mas resolvem muito pouco.

@ragb a questão da acessibilidade é relevante, sim. Nas assembleias de voto existe a dificuldade de acesso para cadeirantes. As cabines de voto é demasiado alta.

com isto não estou a advogar pelo voto electrónico, de todo. No entanto há coisas a resolver.

Voto acompanhado é tudo menos secreto. Como bem argumentaste os riscos de segurança complicam muito.

boletim em braille assume que a maioria das pessoas cegas lê braille, o que não é verdade. Mas mesmo que assim fosse, nunca poderias ter boletins diferentes para pessoas, facilmente se saberia em que e que o unico cego da mesa teria votado. Existe por cá a matriz em braille, que colocas por cima do boletim em braille, no entanto é pouco fiável, na minha opinião.

@ragb das duas vezes que estive em mesas, verifiquei a correção das matrizes contra os boletins e das duas vezes estava tudo certo. Mas sim, temos de pensar de forma mais inclusiva. As associações têm de fazer um melhor trabalho na divulgação das dificuldades, por um lado, os governos têm de governar para todos e as pessoas têm de ser mais empáticas e menos umbiguistas (não necessariamente por esta ordem).
