Does someone know why @LineageOS removed biometry?
Since recent updates on 22.2 I found out, apps can no longer enable biometry.
This is logic, as all settings for #biometry are removed, changing lock condition only allow PIN, Pattern, Gesture.
All in all it makes thing complicated typing password and after drawing pattern.
CCC fordert Notbremse für den Überwachungskatalog im Koalitionsvertrag
"CDU, CSU und SPD lassen alle Hemmungen fallen. Sie planen #Massenüberwachung auf gleich drei Ebenen: Telekommunikations-, Autokennzeichen- und #Biometriedaten. Die alten und neuen riesigen Datenhalden sollen mit „automatisierter Datenrecherche und -analyse“ durchkämmt werden dürfen. Staatliches #Hacken soll ebenfalls ausgeweitet werden.
Der Koalitionsvertrag, den die schwarz-schwarz-rote Regierung abschließen will, strotzt so vor Überwachungsvorhaben, dass jeder Einzelne betroffen sein wird. Ob man im Netz kommuniziert, #Auto fährt oder Fotos mit Gesichtern ins Netz stellt: All das soll massenhaft aufgezeichnet und bei Bedarf ausgewertet werden."

"Der #CCC ruft daher SPD-Mitglieder dazu auf, den Koalitionsvertrag abzulehnen. Die Abstimmung läuft vom 15. bis 29. April und ist, Stand jetzt, das einzige wirkliche Hindernis, das die Koalition noch verhindern könnte." (https://t.me/jugendinfo/6709)

Traceability of Quercus petraea and Quercus robur logs: the Biomtrace database was created with the aim of developing algorithms for the biometric traceability of logs, involving artificial intelligence approaches that require large databases.

#Epiderminalization:
#Biometry is nothing more than the assumption that the look of someone tells you more truths about him/her/them than the words that come from their mouth. The Skin is more credible than what they say.

Did you know that a technology could keep you off the field? #NotWithMyFace
The use of facial recognition technologies in football stadiums is already a reality in Paraguay. This raises many questions and concerns: What are the risks of this technology? Who controls our biometric data? For what purposes? If I haven’t done anything wrong, why are the

Two posts from elsewhere:

"Worryingly, around 45% of Brits think a polling card is sufficient as ID at the polling station, according to poll for @BylineTimes , even while the polling card itself clearly tells the opposite.
People need to show valid photo ID. Spread the word..."

"On BBC Radio Scotland this morning they were discussing people being turned away if they no longer resemble the photo on their ID. It's going to turn nasty tomorrow. It's not practical at all."
Please welcome the common problems of #biometry, which sucks as *any* 100% reliable security mechanism.
Great to see our biometricians being recognised for their contributions to our organisation’s work! #biometry #statistics
Very interesting, palm identification, more reliable then iris identification, not trained on personal but synthetic data, if it works as advertised Amazon has made something great.

@escamoteur ... but that's not the worst failure of #biometry . The worst is: You have an unlimited amount of passphrases or keys. But each biometric feature only exists once. If stolen/compromised, it cannot be used again or re-created. It's gone. :-)
I may repeat myself over and over again, but even after three (?) decades, #biometry still is wrong. It's not a security-enhancing feature, it's a feature for lazy people who are not interested in security. #toldyouso.

Researchers with the Chaos Computer Club bought items on eBay that turned out to have stored iris scans of 2,632 people, mostly from people living in Iraq and Afghanistan. But also data from members of the U.S. Army:
From the NYT:
"detailed descriptions of individuals in addition to their photograph and biometric data, could be enough to target people who were previously unknown to have worked with U.S. military forces should the information fall into the wrong hands"
NYT has a writeup here: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/27/technology/for-sale-on-ebay-a-military-database-of-fingerprints-and-iris-scans.html?unlocked_article_code=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEIPuonUktbfqYhlSlUZBCbJUNMnqBqCgvfeh7I7nDrlJSyYDDFEiukfCpnF8gLIZK5ie9IpznGXTcNIOrY0Sbl1wKpRPkpiRhOwuJqChI9AKiM57IOpX3hzxJnEW6t-8SPvaiPxDtZD84CFnkDMNimsU7rCgTZnfFw79Y1mcln53X1YlLPHErV2xtV_2vs-D814FiNRbHXZ6KXoXxooa9-Wf1qLvFlNLuJcWTzTnNOd6atRM1kBTAKbEw4spDo0-9heO9gIPK3gLBBGecv2hbQZCGwAP57-TtRqBNCSz-M2xOaL_R-cy8O2xeE0FLFXvd7Gu2W9PVUuQNCGLdh1nu1h24vFimy7MldCiUA (the utm ensures you can read the article without subscription)
My former colleagues at BR have been working on this story for many months now.

Soo. Hi! I just finished my bachelors in psychology and need to decide (until Friday) on whether to go into #biostats / medical #biometry or #CognitiveScience. Since my picture of biostats is pretty clear, are there any #CogSci people around to tell me something about it?
