Fuck Elon and all that, but don’t let your hatred blind you to the tech and the problem of autonomous vehicles. Isn’t this the technology community?
I also didn’t say it wasn’t the cars fault. I said we need to see what lead up to this because it’s really hard to tell what the actual issue is.
I didn’t saw it was dangerous only that it was similar to MS GDID, and it is.
I’m not technically inclined enough to harden against that, nor do ai really have the inclination. But here is a thread on that topic where I even heard about it.
That’s fair. I didn’t mean MS was the threat actor, just the seed from which this grew. I definitely take that back after reading up more on where machine-id grew out of.
However, I don’t concede that machine-id is theoretical for user fingerprinting. Any software installed can read it, especially a browser. That’s the vector for tracking across the web. Do I have instances of this occurring, no. Seems plausible and the more we can sandbox things, especially “web browsers” (untrusted app runners more like it) the better.
Absolutely zero reason a init system needs admin date of birth. Yes separate issue entirely, but it’s showing a trend and the direction things are headed.

Ah, yes! Light gray text on white background. Perfectly legible.
Video doesn’t show what lead up to it, so how are you basing that opinion?
