Probably got some parachute built in.

Yeah, it’s freakish because everything looks all wrong.

Of course if you care to look carefully, and sometimes closely.

Smiling ain’t gonna save ya!

Deeply discounted, yet with the satisfying conclusion that our external clients get! /s

Yes! There is this Buddhist saying, supposedly some 2,500 years back, “Even if a whole mountain were made of gold, not double that would be enough to satisfy one person.”

You can trace unsatisfied greed in American gazillionaires all the way back to Rockefeller. Before that, you can trace it to Kings, Queens, Emperors, Conquerors. Only external circumstances, societal structures/cultures/etc, keep the greed in check. As soon as we were out of subsistence living, we started collecting, often times just for the sake of collections, sometimes other people’s great misery be damned.

2FAS, Bitwarden, Firefox are my most used FOSS on Android for me.

Cute dogs allowed!

That’s like, yenocide.

Oh, the horror! I think I did the best I possibly could, given the circumstances.

I guess people will cheat and hide it everywhere.

While corporate America focuses on mainly profits, “fighting for human rights” are just empty slogan, because corporate America is already exploiting human misery for profits. For government, it’s going to be “to prevent China from becoming the dominant tech power in the developing world” that’s going to drive this sort of initiative, which most likely will have mixed results or fail miserably altogether. Chinese exports are already driving the non-elite consumer markets in the developing worlds.

You definitely don’t want this stuff to escape into the atmosphere.

When I forgot part of my my old password, I came up with a list of words that I possibly could have come up with and tried those. I eventually found it even if I was panicky the whole time. If I were you, I would list the words and try them in the order of probabilities.

Un/Fortunately, BW is implemented to rate-limit password brute-forcing. I feel you about your CAPTCHA hell, and I hate their surreal sunflower CAPTCHA (maybe to make it as repulsive as possible to the hackers?).

True.

• Automatic patch => automatic installation of malware

• Manual patch => unpatched vulnerabilities

Screwed either way.

Yeah, this is definitely a problem with brand new services, especially when the native app isn’t appealing. For example, I use Liftoff for Lemmy. Open-sourced✅ In official Appstore✅ Relatively transparent who the developer is✅ No special permission starting off✅ Relatively few downloads📛 .

When a mobile app doesn’t ask for permissions, it’s definitely less nerve-racking than the more permissive desktop environments where the apps don’t have to be special to do considerable damages.

Speaking about Windows PC.

1. Not everybody thinks they need such security because it’s their home computer.
2. Enabling device encryption necessitates the backup of the encryption key (and backup of the data files); otherwise, you may lose all the contents when things go wrong (like the key disappears after an update). People who don’t understand the tech may not know where their backup keys are.
3. Windows Home encryption is a hassle since you don’t have finer-grain control over the encryption, unlike Bitlocker on Windows Pro. This is the lamest scheme for Windows. You only get practical basic security with Windows Pro.
4. Enabling system drive encryption may make your system backup/recovery harder or impossible in some configurations. Figuring this out may require some technical expertise.

Spokespeople for NCTA and pharmaceutical company Gilead said that they immediately paused their ad spending on X after CNN flagged their ads on the pro-Nazi account.

Alt-speak: we only care if the media report that our ad placements were next to questionable contents.
