Jonathan Kamens 86 47<p>In today's <a href="https://federate.social/tags/TechIsShitDispatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechIsShitDispatch</span></a> (it's been a while since I've posted one, believe me I've been encountering tech shit every day, just haven't had time to post)…<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/DiscoverCard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiscoverCard</span></a> has apparently decided, via its proxy <a href="https://federate.social/tags/Akamai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Akamai</span></a>, to block logins from Linux. [UPDATE: Nope it's even worse! See below.]<br>I don't know whether they're doing this on purpose (very bad) or through incompetence (slightly less bad).<br>I wasted a couple hours of my time figuring out this is what's going on.<br>Evidence in the replies.<br>🧵1/</p>
Jonathan Kamens 86 47<p>As of May 18 the acquisition of <a href="https://federate.social/tags/Discover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Discover</span></a> by <a href="https://federate.social/tags/CapitalOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CapitalOne</span></a> is officially complete.<br>Cap1 claims this will be a big win for consumers. Feel free to point me to a single example in history where consolidation in a huge market with only a few major players was beneficial for consumers.<br>Cap1 wanted Discover's merchant network, and now that they have it, they'll leverage it to extract more profit from merchants and consumers.<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/consumerFinance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>consumerFinance</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/DiscoverCard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiscoverCard</span></a></p>
bojkotiMalbona<p>Warning to <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Discovercard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Discovercard</span></a> customers: They’ve just started collecting <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/voicePrints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>voicePrints</span></a> &amp; apparently there is no opt-out. If you call them the bot will simply announce that they are recording you for ID purposes and then it expects you speak.</p>
