They say they get around the easy linking of a single wallet address to your identity by using subaddresses. I don’t think this fixes it, it merely delays it.

The number of these subaddresses are capped to prevent botting. But suppose you use this account every day for years or decades. You’ve meticulously allocated subaddresses for different categories of spending, assessed the risk profile of using each one, and used them throughout the years until you’re out of subaddresses.

Now you’re vulnerable to having your identity tied to the account since the risk of getting had goes up every time you use any of your subaccounts. And this risk only increases the more you use your Worldcoin.

Even if the biometric privacy safeguards they built in (hashing yer Mk. I orbs) work perfectly, I wouldn’t use it for the reasons I mentioned above, there isn’t a way to ensure transactional anonymity if your account/subaccounts can be linked to your real identity regardless of the method.

I see an outline of a QR code in there. How well would that work if someone could just vandalize a single pixel within the code and break it?

Hmm I thought Toyota was focusing more on Hydrogen powered cars as a long-term strategy rather than EVs.

Insects are taking… Our jerbs???

This trend is bad for the Google brand, and I’m surprised that the higher ups there don’t understand it. Why should I use a Google service and get attached to it if they are going to unexpectedly remove it entirely?

How long until Google Earth gets the axe? Or even Gmail? I’m writing this on my Google Pixel, but they could theoretically just say “naw we wanna leave the phone market” and then may not make the phone any longer or not provide OS or security updates if that is their prerogative.

For such a large tech company, they have the resources to run these services at cost in order to have their users be more valuable to them in the long term.

I’m still bitter about them completely dismantling the original Google Talk desktop application two decades ago (yes they weren’t shortened to app then lol) as it was the best communication platform of its time and had very clear voice comms.

If enough of us do it, entire comment chains will be illegible lol
