Remembering back to when I was a kid, Scratch was absolutely fantastic, and definitely helped me put me on the path I am today. Fantastic work.
With that said (and apologies on using the power of HN here), I've been trying to get in touch with Scratch support to have an old account of mine deleted, but I can't ever seem to get a reply. Would you happen to know who to get in touch with, other than the contact form?
As someone sitting kinda on the outside of fintech/finance, it just feels like there's a lot less value add and market oversaturation these days from "hipster app with Bancorp account".
I previously had Simple (rest in peace), and was totally okay with it, but it clearly wasn't worth it to BBVA/PNC. I went to SoFi just because they're making moves to get their own charter, rather than sitting with Bancorp.
Now you've got Robinhood, Credit Karma, Chime, etc etc all running Bancorp backing accounts so really there's no fundamental difference between any of them.
My unfounded speculation is that the 3060Ti limiter (which was mostly bypassed due to an accidental leak of dev drivers) acted as a bit of a test balloon to see how it would be attacked before implementing it on the 3070/3080 silicon.
The authentication method is knowing how to fly said plane and getting in said plane in the first place.
The planes that are relatively accessible aren't flightworthy without effort, and the planes that are flightworthy require violating federal law (in the US) to access them.
Yes, it puts 1Password as the only point of failure iff 1Password security is compromised. This would require knowing my Master Password, my Secret Key, and 2FA with either my OTP from Google Authenticator or a Yubikey to open the vault on a new device, or knowing my master password on a device that I already have 1Password set up on.
On the flip side however, for anyone who _doesn't_ know I use 1Password (oops), any credential stuffing attack or password leak is not likely to get anywhere, as they're not going to be attacking my 1Password vault.
It's just using the accessibility privileges to look at the contents of the screen like a screen reader would, and copy the shown code. This isn't quite as advanced as "stealing your seeds".
I think the implication is that an unlinked and appropriately aged Github/HN account can be compromised to get 20 bucks by compromising and linking.
I'm sure if someone actually reached out to @malgorithms saying "hey someone stole my GH/HN account out from under me to get the 20 bucks" they'd resolve the issue.
In that case, I'm going to hazard a guess that your iCloud email address was actually compromised, and is being used to send it to every address in your contacts.
It's the problem with leaning into a niche viewpoint. You have to continue to lean harder and harder into that viewpoint as the times change in order to keep the people who also believe in that viewpoint supporting you.
I genuinely think the FSF/RMS level hate of non-free software will continue to die out as everyone starts to die/retire from public eye. Whether or not that's a good thing overall is not something I'm going to touch, but it seems like there's not enough being this aggressive to keep this viewpoint sustainable.
