A better fate than what he deserved, IMO.

Communal action > government “protections”

Every time.

Gods, we are so stupid.

The human species survived alongside countless others for tens of thousands of years. It has taken us roughly two or three generations to fuck it all up in the relentless pursuit of profit.

I’m rooting for them simply because I want to see Reddit and them fight. I’m not going to be switching, because I’m basically done with centralized ultracapitalist bullshit for personal use.

I appreciate that 2FA can be annoying, but I’ve personally had my info leaked in various breaches, and (software) 2FA has been the thing that’s saved my important accounts. They manage to get as far as the TOTP and stop, because it’s an additional lock that’s harder to bypass than a static password. It’s easy to say it’s just a pointless hurdle when you’ve been lucky enough to have avoided having your data leaked.

I know none of the other things they do come out of legitimate care for their users and I know this isn’t ultimately any different

You are right that companies don’t care about users like us, but many of these protocols came from cryptographers and software engineers who do care. The Diffie-Hellman-Merkle key exchange underpins most of public cryptography, and it wasn’t created for big business. Regardless, big companies do care about big clients, who are often desirable targets for hackers.

So these locks and protocols exist because a relative few people genuinely care about security, and the big companies implement them as correctly as possible, because they care about not getting sued for negligence by a big client or losing their business.

You’re right to be cynical about corporations, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get mutual benefit from their self-interest.

It is Arch. Just Arch with extra tools preinstalled.

These people didn’t go away. Some of them are even probably here on Lemmy, watching for anyone with a weakness they can exploit to try to recruit them.

A bunch of them were arrested, but a bunch of them weren’t. Stay vigilant. Don’t tolerate these kinds of people.

US isn’t much better, since Trump thinks he’s “making the economy strong” by further strengthening Chinese tariffs.

GPU market was cooked in 2020 when crypto and WFH demonstrated that people will pay literally anything to get the latest hardware. Best thing we can all do is vote with our wallets and vote for politicians who will do something about it, instead of making it worse.

Are you using an ad blocker? Have you tried using a JavaScript blocker like NoScript? Is the ad preventing any kind of navigation (like, is it hiding controls and on a timer)?

Man, it’s getting so hard to talk about video games, these days… 😉

The crazy will continue until the leopards have had their fill.

Publish your findings to a quality, peer reviewed journal. I dare you.

If there weren’t children involved, I would be cheering for this outcome.

I second this. I feel like NixOS embodies the idea of new beginnings, since it’s so designed that you can start over but have everything in one config. “Start new” as many times as you want!

Dunno why. I’m just talking about the guy who fights ghouls who live in mansions.

Quick, somebody make a placebo an “ebola vaccine” and convince Republican politicians that they’re not true Trump supporters unless they have an Ebola Party at the RNC.

You could call it “My Pillow.” That brand name should be coming free pretty soon.

You could argue that… Well there’s the time when… Uh, no.

Luigi is a hero.

See how easy that is when you aren’t given the table scraps of the rich?

My company literally works with car dealerships (i.e. they’re our clients), and those numbers are suspicious as fuck.

1200 sales of even ICE cars would be extremely odd at a single dealership in a single day. Most get a few hundred in a month.

But Elon is not smart enough to know any of that, and it would not surprise me if they find out he ordered this cockamamie scheme directly.
