  Phrases or words are good, but they should be random - not from known passages in poems, books movies etc, at least not without significant alteration.

  Hackers aren’t always using the login interface, sometimes they’re beyond that and have access to the database of password hashes, and they’re trying to crack the password that can be entered to match a hash and get to try as many times as they like on their own away from the target system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If AI was going to advance exponentially I'd of expected it to take off by now.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There are AI experts (I could air quote that, but really, people who work in the industry) who are legitimately skeptical about the speed, power and real impact AI will have in the short term, so it isn’t a case of everyone who “really knows” thinks we’re getting doomsday AGI tomorrow.

  Looks like that guy in that movie, he was pretty masculine.

  In a recession with lower demand and everyone hunkering down oil prices probably decline.

  I also am liking drive for cloud backup storage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why you’ve gotten downvoted up and down this thread. People seem oblivious to the reality of risks and the imperfection of trusting people in the aggregate.

  Oh shit that’s helpful thank you, might be Minecraft I tried to introduce to my kid years ago or something like that? I’ll check thank you

  I’m paying Microsoft $9 a month for something and I can’t find out what and can’t cancel it. I’m going to have to nuke my credit card to get it to stop and I don’t even know if that’ll work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep for sure. I joined Lemmy long enough ago (other burner account) great posts like these would only have 25 responses or so. Seeing these quality ones hit hundreds of responses is encouraging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just want to comment that this is one of the most helpful and full of good info posts I’ve seen on Lemmy in a long while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it took me a few moments of learning to get over my old Adobe learned habits, but I’m all accustomed to it now and like it a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Happy user of Affinity Designer here, so great to not be paying Adobe any more subscription fees, screw them.

  Oh my god the flood of beans and denim jeans content was ridiculous, I used Lemmy less for a while.

  Great comment, I don’t have anything to add just wanted to say so.

  Yeah actually old Reddit founder and another similar dude buying it and refreshing it soon, apparently.

  Well that sucks, I use it a lot but I will not use Teams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eggs sure have gotten cheap! Oh they haven't?...well I'm sure Trump is doing EVERYTHING he can⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The left knew the science, and shouts it all the time. Just like they knew all the time that the president’s ability to affect inflation was limited too, and shouted that all the time as well to no avail. When the right doesn’t listen to logic, they get made fun of with the bare facts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Chinese gotta use state-approved and controlled mainstream apps and media, or access foreign stuff via VPN. Homegrown, off the grid stuff like Lemmy only gets by as long as it’s obscure.

  If it’s big enough and ornery (includes political content, rather than say just all cooking recipes and form) it’s liable to be blocked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They gotta get their news out to the masses, at least they choose something besides twitter.

  Wow really I never saw that before, sounds crazy.
