It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Mmm.

I should go print a silicon printer that can make fake fingers based on, idk, someone's fabvorite ice cream flavor or something. Really hasten the slide in to the security abyss.

Either way, I still use passwords for everything, and every password is unique. Biometrics my right tit they don't even have t beat that out of you, then can just cut something off. At least with the password manager it has to either have a vulnerability or they need access to state-level legal muscle to force the people who designed it to open the lock. Plus if one password gets compromized nothing else is unless it's the master, and even with the master they still need access to the password locker to do anything with it.

Pretty much everytime you look into this type of stuff "good print of fingerprint" does the job just fine, you don't even have to get that fancy with it.

Biometric security is better understood as a convenience product.
