“I don’t have anything to hide because I think I’ve done something wrong: I have something to hide because I question your judgement and motives.”

They’re fine giving you their info because they trust you. The problem is when the person seeking that information is untrustworthy – and some shithead(s) making their way into a company or government isn’t just possible, it’s likely.

Tell them to give all their sensitive personal information to someone that hates them. Credit card numbers, political beliefs, nudes, sexual preferences/fetishes, etc.

I prefer “living a dream”.

Am I living someone else’s dream? Is it a nightmare? Am I disassociating? – the answer is “yes”.

It’s a great question that reinforces critical thinking.

Having the tools is one thing, learning to apply them correctly to a problem is another.

Huh, they actually do:

And Matt Monson — who moved from the Dragon project to SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink — posted that Starlink uses a lot of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and that they too have a lot of experience with Linux. “For some level of scope on Starlink, each launch of 60 satellites contains more than 4,000 Linux computers. The constellation has more than 30,000 Linux nodes (and more than 6,000 microcontrollers) in space right now.

I don’t allow lunix in my house because it’s an illegal hacker operation system. I can’t believe an American hero like Elon would endorse something invented by the notorious Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.

They almost certainly have in house legal teams and those lawyers are salaried.

Your “devil’s advocate” is a moron that can safely be told to fuck off. “Cis white males” aren’t losing shit – it’s the same damn program it’s always been except it’s open to all kids now … and hopefully has far fewer kids getting molested by the adult leaders

cis white male

I would love to hear your “devil’s advocate” explain how are the white kids are being hurt by this change.

That saying holds more truth if you’re using the “non-political” definitions of conservative – i.e. moderate, cautious, or resistant to change.

Moreso “set in your ways” as the world changes around you.

I’m with you on that. What makes the Steam Deck so appealing is it’s a handheld PC.

We put nitrogen in fertiliser and for some reason you think it’s impossible to put potassium in? Really?

… Did you miss where I wrote

Farmers have to rely on adding mined potash to the soils to compensate for that loss.

Maybe read the actual article.

No. It goes into the people/animals eating those plants, and from there to a million different places that aren’t farm fields.

That’s the problem: that potassium doesn’t cycle back to the soil it came from. Farmers have to rely on adding mined potash to the soils to compensate for that loss. The entire point of the article is potassium is being removed from the soil faster than it’s being added back in.

You know it’s bad when you recognize the user name.

Having read the paper, there seems to be a glaring problem: Even though the user can’t tell an attacker the password, nothing is stopping them from demonstrating the password. It doesn’t matter if it’s an interactive sequence – the user is going to remember enough detail to describe the “prompts”.

A rubber hose and a little time will get enough information to make a “close enough” mock-up of the password entry interface the trusted user can use to reveal the password.

People missing the fact this comic is using humor and hyperbole to make a point about the things that make us miserable.

Lemmy has a fair number of loud, toxic instances, communities, and users. On the other hand, it’s easy to block all of them, and it’s practically a requirement to enjoy lemmy.

So block with zero hesitation – the only people that will give you crap about it are the people that are the problem in the first place.

old.reddit.com still works … for now. I deleted my account, but there’s still a few writers on reddit I follow.

Film of the era also made people look older. Old film is sensitive to UV light, which exaggerates/makes visible “flaws” in skin you wouldn’t see or notice otherwise.

You could copy the manual on a xerox machine. Of course some publishers were smart and printed the manual in such a way it any copies came out as an illegibly dark mess.

So naturally you took a legitimate manual, manually transcribed it, and made copies of the copy.

10 PRINT "FARTS"

People are drawn to and fascinated by taboo topics, and one’s experiences and upbringing determine the relationship with those taboos a person has.

Women have personal experiences with creepy/dangerous men, it’s a “known danger” they hear about from a young age, and serial killers represent the extreme example of this – it’s not really surprising “true crime” type media is popular with women.
