I’ll read through those threads sometime. I don’t think I’ll be commenting in that instance though. Maybe I’ll look around for a community that clicks better to interact with. I don’t really have questions off the top of my head, sorry. I don’t know what I don’t know.

“People I don’t agree with are lying in bad faith.”

I have no interest in talking to you.

Ok.

This is my exact same experience. I ask for someone to elaborate on their stance, get told (not accused, told) I’m trolling. Ask for explanation/definition of a concept, get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory. Ask for civility, get told I deserve abuse for “endorsing genocide”. (By the way, I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I’m a genocide supporter I guess because I won’t flush my vote third party this November.)

Hexbear is a community that expects you to conform. Every time there is a post like this, someone comes out of the woodwork and says “They’re nice people if you talk like them and agree with them on everything.” It’s cool that you’re not getting abused, but abuse is coming from that space, whether or not it is happening to you.

It’s a shame because I would like to hear the nuances of their viewpoints, but I can never get them to tell me what they are. Always complaining that nobody tries to understand, but dogpiling on anyone that asks questions. Then they pull up your report history and tell you “It’s just a little dunking bro, stop being a snowflake” for not putting up with it.

Users of Hexbear, if you’re reading these words, do better. Nobody is going to sympathize with your cause if you antagonize outsiders that want to learn more.

He’s cheesed. (Sorry, couldn’t help milking it.)

It really is incredible that we have a way now to fund the jobs that can only be created and performed by a select few individuals. We don’t need a corporation to create the job for us, someone with a specific skill shows up and society says “yeah we need one of those.”

You forgot an A.

This is a good question and your curiosity is appreciated.

A password that has been properly hashed (the thing they do in that Avalanche Effect Wikipedia entry to scramble the original password in storage) can take trillions of years to crack, and each additional character makes that number exponentially higher. Unless the AI can bring that number to less than 90 days - a fairly standard password change frequency for corporate environments - or heck, just less than 100 years so it can be done within the hacker’s lifetime, it’s not really going to matter how much faster it becomes.

The easier method (already happening in fact) is to use an LLM to scan a person’s social media and then reach out to relatives pretending to be that person, asking for bail money, logins etc. If the data is sufficiently locked down, the weakest link will be the human that knows how to get to it.

This just hurts. A whole loving family being thrown under the bus to protect one cop. Therapist sounds like a piece of work too, there should never be unwanted physical contact during therapy. Evil.

Meanwhile Starlink’s direct to cell capability is only growing. If your phone has 4G, Starlink knows where it is.

This is all news to me, could someone please elaborate/share some resources?

I don’t know anything about Starlink but I guess I should if it knows anything about me.

We also have the right to fire you for any reason

And they really do mean any. They just won’t always say the real reason out loud.

I dunno if I’d call it a review so much as a listicle. Also, “Seven” co-op? Does he play the games he recommends?

Za Warudo!

Not sure those are one-to-one. I remember just about every local news station doing the Harlem Shake, but as far as I can tell not one has reenacted the coffin dance (but I’d love to be proven wrong).

My condolences. I’m sorry that happened to you.

The metaphor was bad, just take the L.

15 years ago the first iPhone came out. Probably related.
