I have to upload my passport page to get my autism assessment and I still haven't done it and I don't want to, but I've been trying to get this assessment on and off for years :(

@Gonzako Shameless plug, I made an extension to try and bypass this on some sites! Free and open source too.

Now when we apply to jobs in the US, we have to agree to a privacy policy that says we agree to phone spam when they share our data to third parties.

I hate everything about this timeline.

[–] GenericUsername@thelemmy.club 4 points 10 hours ago

They're just open about it now. For 10+ years I always noticed how my telemarketing phone calls would go up almost immediately after I applied for a couple jobs.

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Spam calls increased 10 fold when I started applying.

Some jobs ask for your social before you can even submit.

I hate it too.

Pffft I ain't got one. Deleted that shit in 2014, keep up managers.

[–] RogueJello@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

I don't want to protect my children. CHECKMATE TECHBROS!!!!!!

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I would rather jack off with my mind and meet people IRL if this idiocy continues.

At some point there's an endpoint to enshitification, at which people say FU I am going to live in the forest now. I am pretty close.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 3 points 15 hours ago

I’m there if it wasn't for fucking property tax.

[–] mangobanana@discuss.online 9 points 14 hours ago

I was so enraged when I went to go log into the retirement system website (state employee) and I had to sign up for fucking id.me to log in. Ridiculous bullshit. WHY? Who the fuck is going to log on and look at my retirement statement? Not like I can actually retire any time soon with no health insurance fuckers

Why can't we just create physical, one time use tokens and sell them at gas stations and convenience stores for the privacy minded? Show your ID to the clerk to get the token for whatever platform you want to use. Problem solved.

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 21 points 14 hours ago

Because then they couldn’t track your online habits and use it for profit.

[–] pdot4@lemmy.zip 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Hi sir,

5 pornhub tokens please And shi gimme some rule tokens as well..

[–] LuminousLuddite@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I meant like a general use token not tied to any specific platform.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but I would still rather buy pornhub tokens at the gas station than upload my id online.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

If you're already buying condoms you might as well buy Pornhub tokens too.

Yeah, I have sex and watch porn. What about it?

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 13 points 15 hours ago

I can't wait to read the explosion of breathless media reports and "expert" commentary discussing the sudden spate of compromised ID systems and the subsequent finger pointing between politicians blaming each other for this entirely foreseeable outcome while the professionals who kept raising concerns have their uncredited "I told you so" moment.

[–] omodasonya3@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago

I just saw this cover image in the Testing Yet Another App for Lemmy community. What a coincidence—I found it pretty funny when I first saw it, and now I’ve run into it again here, lol.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago

I can't wait for the day the whole wide world holds a class action suit to get some of their "ID" money back. "A" sells to "B" sells to "C"...where is my cut?

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 91 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (11 children)

Reminder to everyone that Discord is pushing out ID Verification any day now, and is already selling all the data and discussions on its platform to fascist surveillance company Palantir, most well known for recent AI-Powered Civillian tracking system "Flock Cams", owned and operated by Billionaire Peter Theil who helped reelect Donald Trump.

That's why I moved to Stoat and at some point in the future plan to self-host.

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

Thanks for the reminder, I needed to put my stoat and fluxer info on my discord profile.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

does stoat have audio notifications yet? 6 months ago when I tried it that was my dealbreaker.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 13 hours ago

I get notifications on my KDE desktop but idk for anything else. They only recently released their mobile version, so there is still a lot of work being done behind the scenes.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I wish stoat consistently worked for me, it didn't so I switched to matrix

[–] Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I'm old and not that bright. Stoat?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

It's a type of mustelid (weasels, otters, and the like)

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

These are the names of services that provide channels with customized text chats and video or VoIP audio calls. Stoat is replacing Discord which replaced Skype which replaced the more rudimentary early applications of the 2000s and 90s such as Mumble. There are also business-oriented softwares such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams with different features.

The word can also refer to a small furry animal.
