If the back end programmers weren't getting paid as much a they did, do you think they'd stage a mass shutdown? If farmers, construction workers and anyone who gave a fuck about ending data centers really gave a fuck, wouldn't they just get all the construction equipment and start knocking them down? The means of production can be halted with good ol' non-conformity and destruction.

I think most people are just focused on the short term goal of keeping a roof over their heads and food on their table to care. This is, of course, by design.

Isn't that just a general strike? You know, the thing the US people tried but didn't get quite right.

[–] Hueristic_Autistic@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

A strike is chanting and begging for more from pig-dogs who don't give a fuck about you or I. Halting the meaning of production and disruption, is another ballpark, it has an actual consequence to society. Being the people who have the power to shut areas of society down and whining about life being unfair is pathetic.

It's because people don't know how to do it from the inside. They only know how to scream and chant they don't know how to organize on a level that would disrupt anything.

Imagine how much of a piece of shit you must be to work at a company like yoti.

[–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Most definitively up on the list of most evil companies.

[–] Yliaster@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

Ah yes, a classic.

Find resistance? Kill them in the name of freedom, safety, and ending "terrorism". The irony.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 140 points 1 day ago (4 children)

who the FUCK is yoti and how do we make them SUFFER for this until they fucking regret it enough to STOP

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 71 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Ive been paying my domain registrar for services for a decade or so.

A few weeks ago they asked me to confirm my ID with yoti.

Now im in the process of switching to another registrar.

Im so fucking sick of having to invest so much effort just for a bare minimum of privacy.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 8 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

based of you to bail on those shitbags, honestly :D

i hope a lot of places lose a ton of business because of Yoti specifically. I hope it hurts and I hope they know why it hurts.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 4 points 22 hours ago

I left PayPal because they asked for a video instead of a proper method of verification.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 4 points 22 hours ago

I'm just old enough to get cranky about silly things that aren't important to other people I guess.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Perhaps there will be a future generation that saves IPv6 addresses like we do phone numbers.
But then the ISP will ask for Yoti 🤦

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which registrar, if you're willing to disclose?
I'm using multiple, with some domains not having many options. I have yet to see this but it's worrying.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

only domains

Domains was a dot au TLD.

I have dozens, but the request was only applied to one of them. I got the impression they were doing the requests incrementally to give support a chance to field all the tickets from people like myself pushing back.

With the ticket, at first a human responded, then the next response was a few pages of AI slop which didnt answer my enquiry. I politely told them that the AI generated response didnt answer my question and asked them to have a human review and respond.

Then I found a more expensive Australian registrar ventraip. They at least claimed to have 24/7 human support. I transferred the offending domain.

Onlydomains idiots replied a week later saying "uh, it looks like this domain has been transferred away, and that was the only one we had requested ID for at this time, so you dont need to do anything for now i guess."

Idiots.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I doubt their support team has any control over the situation. It's honestly surprising you got the final email.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 2 points 21 hours ago

My enquiry was to see whether I could provide business details instead of confirming my identity.

The eligibility criteria is either an Australian resident individual or an Australian company.

They said I could transfer to a company but it costs $200.

I was trying to get them to tell me whether that was their fee or the regulator auda. Support didnt comprehend the question.

[–] fistac0rpse@fedia.io 72 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Yoti is a British company headquartered in London that operates age verification and digital identity services

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

British company headquartered in London

Well that explains a lot. Fucking nanny state.

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 38 points 1 day ago

Don't the Brits have very strong defamation laws? Seems like an easy lawsuit to win.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I mean.. GrapheneOS is here to do exactly the opposite of that. Lol. I mean... Fuck Yoti but like ¯\(ツ)/¯

Btw It would be better to prove that it is secure. If you think about last year, for example (That applies to Qualcomm, so you'd have to check what hardware is installed. ) —CVE-2026-25262(But it's only now making headlines)—the question remains: what hasn't been discovered yet?

Oh look, grapheneOS was vulnerable... but it's been fixed now https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/35355-details-on-the-may-2026-android-security-bulletin (not same CVE)

https://forum.torproject.org/t/enabling-grapheneos-protections-causes-tor-browser-for-android-to-break/21535 lol

The focus is still on what has been discovered; the question remains: what has not yet been discovered? And you still need firmware you can trust. You can't trust Qualcomm.

Dont forget the whole infrastructure. https://youtu.be/fM5w7bFNvWI

[–] ReptilianCleric@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are you implying that they put the vulnerability there? What is even your point? As far as I know they were the first ones to have a fix for that issue but apparently that means that they're inherently insecure. Like seriously, do you even have any idea what you're talking about???

[–] IceFoxX@lemmy.world -1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

CVE-2026-25262 they cant fix qualcomms Firmware... Qualcomm could but well..

[–] ReptilianCleric@lemmy.zip 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

You are correct I believe. My understanding was that graphene blocked an api or something like that to address the vulnerability..?

[–] IceFoxX@lemmy.world -1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

There are various CVEs... They can fix Qualcomm's firmware... Just as they can't say exactly what's going on there...

[–] ReptilianCleric@lemmy.zip 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Okay I'm just gonna say it. So what?

[–] IceFoxX@lemmy.world -2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

People trust the GrapheneOS devs blindly... As if the devs had found the Holy Grail... There have already been several security vulnerabilities... For some, they can actively do something; for others, they’re dependent on the hardware manufacturers... (The fact that they only support Qualcomm besides Pixel also leaves a bad taste in the mouth)... So in the end, you still have to trust the hardware and the entire infrastructure (cellular networks, etc.), and you simply can’t trust any of it... Instead of treating phones as untrustworthy, grapheneOS users blindly trust the devices 100%, which is fatal. That’s why I call it a honeypot... Ultimately, you can’t trust ANY phone, no matter what OS is installed... That would require at least open hardware.

GrapheneOS is great but the users are well...

[–] ReptilianCleric@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

And you have anything other vibes? No. No you do not.

Or are you gonna pull the old "do your own research line" cause you think it makes you sound smart?

[–] IceFoxX@lemmy.world -1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

It's not like I haven't already mentioned a few things, along with sources. Oh, come on, just stay in your bubble...
Plus, you're ignoring what security researchers, hackers, and others have always been saying: that there's no such thing as 100% protection... Come on, prove that it’s 100% secure—I’m waiting… Oh, wait, you can’t prove that because it’s impossible…
For that to be true, it would have to be a completely isolated OS… Without cellular connectivity, usb, etc. I'm having fun trying to get the modem out of the SoC... Ohhh

You just can't trust these devices 100%. But you do it anyway, because you know better, of course.

By the way, just using this OS is already causing problems with Yoti, but I'm sure you'd deny that too. 😏

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I see what you're saying. I'm partial to Graphene but I am picking up what you're putting down.

I figure that the authorities will get annoyed if they keep receiving false positives from this company

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (14 children)

They don't seem annoyed by their own false positives when they classify anyone who opposes genociding Palestinians as a terrorist. The UK Government seems quite happy with these heavy-handed tactics for the oppression of politically inconvenient people.
