I think instead I will choose to both A) not install a rootkit on my desktop B) avoid an OS that handles passwords in plaintext

This is why gamers should reject kernel anti cheats. A single dev at a single company that requires one could read them as easily as any other file. I’m not exaggerating, unless I’m misinformed

Me when I’m not a professional with no understanding of his things actually works and I accidentally reinvent “computers insecure, avoid them at all costs for max cybersec”

OpenBSD can, objectively, do only a fraction of what Linux can. As a result, it is expected it will have only a fraction of vulnerabilities.

Yeah fair enough, good points all around.

GrapheneOS puts 0 compromises on user-security in addition to privacy. They don’t really have anything to gain by supporting less secure hardware to drive adoption.

Motorola seems to be cashing in on providing the alternative, though, which is a win for everyone

Bias is situational; look at AP’s reporting of the Israel-Palestine conflict for an example of their obscene bias towards western interests. Bias should be assessed on a per-claim basis to avoid logical fallacies like ad hominem.

Here’s a good, neutral take on the unreliability of Uyghur related reporting in sources like the AP: https://www.aph.gov.au/DocumentStore.ashx?id=4767d3ce-8490-464f-8508-d8f3b7878808&subId=703775

Can you respond to this comment (https://reddthat.com/comment/26414066)? That was the original thread and I’m interested in your response.

Goomba fallacy everyone, the same people, outside of mainstream influencers running a business on this crap, are not holding these directly conflicting stances in >90% of cases. Don’t fall for efforts to dehumanize those that disagree with you and just ask questions instead. Why do you think this type of rhetoric is bad? Should comedians be held to the same standard as lawmakers and enforcers? Why or why not

Honestly just fine use computers at all, completely eliminate the remote attack vector. And only drink rain water since city water can be compromised.

Or, recognize this is a normal part of using software and have more than 1 thing between you and a breach

No worries! You don’t owe me anything :) Just wanted to make sure you saw it and knew there might be issues.

If you haven’t watched the original avatar the last airbender, I 110% recommend it as the next show you watch

That’s not even the same list, Legend of Kora isn’t on the Alphabetical one anymore

It’s probably more of a replacement for Google than anything. IMO for stuff like this it isn’t different than asking a forum and as long as you know that there’s little room for fuck ups.

I can’t stop finding this hilarious

People who don’t know about cars

I am not your lawyer and this is not legal advice for you or anyone who reads this.

Nextcloud encrypts data e2e, so your point there is misguided and not really relevant. You can’t be compelled to provide a password/decryption key as long as it doesn’t exist as physical evidence. This is why lawyers advise clients to use a PIN instead of face ID or fingerprints; biometrics, like all physical evidence, can be subpoenad.

Self hosting services like matrix or email is a bad idea if you don’t really understand what you’re doing, like many other things. If you keep you stuff updated and are intelligent in how you structure your network there’s not really anymore risk here than paying someone else to host it. If you keep you stack simple and follow best practices, code and configurations written by industry experts do most of the heavy lifting.

I’ve cut down on that by only giving it tasks that are reviewed automatically.

“Spit this into a json”

It gives me the code, I continue with my program knowing exactly what is where in the json and if I get a parsing error or something I know exactly where to look. TBH, though, for things like that I must have an error rate lower than 5%

Ask it to configure a reverse proxy for a cors sensitive application, though, and I think I’d rather die

Yeah. AI 100% makes me more productive and by a good bit. I used it to write a section of code today to export all the information my program gathers about a system to a json file. Woulda taken me 20 minutes but chatgpt did it in seconds.

It also, in the same snippet, introduced a breaking change I didn’t ask for in the original code. I only copied the json part; I just happened to notice the change in the code it wrong. It added a fork bomb lol

Do you write code?

Part of science is reproducible events, no?

A cult turning on its leader is not zero sum but instead manifested by the base becoming more devout and, as a cause, shrinking.

MAGA has gotten crazier not because they grip their beliefs more firmly, but because those with “looser” grips have fallen.

Having said that, his voter base has gotten larger and larger with each election. My rebuttal to this is that the vast majority of swing voters vote with the following logic: “Do I like how things are”

If yes, vote same party, otherwise vote opposition.

The early 2020s were better under Biden than they would have been under Trump, but they still generally sucked for first time home buyers, people beginning their career, etc.
