So is discord providing a better alternative to monitor ban the creepy predators then, even if these bots are flawed are they not providing necessary security
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 1 day ago:
Google maps navigation, web browsing, YouTube, music streaming, WhatsApp, email, social media apps for entertainment, news apps, notes app, to do app, public transit app, ebook and audiobook apps, utility apps, good camera, good screen, good speakers. If I consider all this there is just no way to go back to the old school flip phones or the candy at phones with the T9 keypad for me, best thing I can do is hide all the apps I don’t want to be distracted by, put app locks on the addictive ones and just be mindful of the time I spend on my phone and figure out other ways to spend my time like dedicated ebook readers or paper books and other activities

Same as your cola gets it’s cola flavor, food scientists can synthesize a wide variety of flavors that mimick different things

So is this user specific salt word stored in a table somewhere, how does the company decrypt a salted password otherwise, and so if the salt is also stored somewhere alongside the encrypted password, couldn’t the hacker get his hands on both the salt and the password and use that to figure out the password?
- Comment on Plex got hacked. 1 week ago:
Stuff like this can happen to any app, developers are only human, shit happens, but the bigger a company is, the bigger target it becomes, so there is some saftey in an open source app that’s not as popular, but then again a bigger company also has more resources to monitor for security breaches and quickly address them and push out a hot fix, can’t say I know how this works for smaller free open source apps

I’ve seen like 4 of these types of pranks, are they all made by the same content maker

Going in neutral without expectations is the best way to enjoy a movie in my opinion, there’s a indie theatre near my home that mostly plays older classics from US and around the world. I’ve had my mind blown by movies that came out decades ago, good movies age very well

Goverment funded research is paid for my public money via taxes but the research information is not publicly accessible, I can understand this if it’s defense or other secretive research but there is no reason someone should have to pay for access to other research fields information when it is publicly funded
- Comment on Tech companies pledge to ready Americans for an AI-dominated world 1 week ago:
I already have shitty companies ask questions in their job form about which AI tools I use to write software and how much percentage of my final code is from AI, fuck me like this job didn’t suck enough now I have to prompt the fuckin AI multiple times to do something just so that it ticks a metric that upper management can use to justify spending money on AI and firing actual engineers
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 1 week ago:
I’d tell myself to start investing my money and hit the gym, but I’m unemployed right now and I know once I’m employed again finding the time in this rat race is gonna be difficult but I’m gonna start valuing my time more seriously, I’ve uninstalled doom scroll apps like Instagram and I’m working on time blocking my tasks, hopefully that pays off

Man I hope he lives to a 100 at least, why am I always late to the party, I learn about Limewire and it dies the next year, I get access to my sister’s Netflix account and Netflix goes to shit, I’m finally able to afford a gaming laptop and buy Steam games and now I’m too busy and tired from work to play them and Gabe is getting older. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently

Didn’t know steam even had a family option, it’s good to know
- Comment on Chhoto URL v6.3.0 is out now: A simple, blazingly fast, selfhosted URL shortener with no unnecessary features; written in Rust. 2 weeks ago:
People who are into systems languages would care and for newer languages the more people advertise their usage the more mainstream it becomes and then bigger more traditional companies would consider using it and that would help increase the size of that languages ecosystem and community so I’m okay with people adding written in Rust to their project descriptions
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 2 weeks ago:
Exactly, if I like something I try to keep it on the down low, or only spread it in circles where I know it will be similarly appreciated, the moment a majority of the people are into something, that thing will now get subjected to external influences that require it to be liked by everyone and most people are mediocre so the thing moves towards mediocrity

It’s just a meme because white people can barely handle salt and pepper, I’ve never had an issue with taco bell but then again I rarely eat from fast food Mexican places when the real stuff is readily available

If your stomach feels bloated and you can feel the bubbling, don’t even think about it, just rush to the nearest toilet
- Comment on Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? 2 weeks ago:
But it’s so absurd lol, someone got paid to make this and they did it in full seriousness,
Like stay at home server, and other kids who will make fun of you for it are jealous of your server like wtf

This is a AI meme right?

Also due to aging either your work responsibilities increase or you get age discriminated out of your preferred role, if you started a family you also have to worry about providing for your dependants now and as you said your health is on a decline

- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 2 weeks ago:
Maybe that was the case where you grew up, the world is a large place and people live different lives, I grew up on bottleg and official CD’s and DVD’s, physical comics and novels, mp3 songs downloaded from limewire and torrented movies, friends and family would exchange flash drives and other media regularly for new content, all my content was both curated and organically found and diverse, and I consumed content from all over the world and my life was better for it. And I still rely on some of these methods to get my media, tech companies benefit from taking away ownership of things from people and packaging it as convenience, I’m not falling for that, I’m building my own home server now to host my own open source apps and services, it’s not even that difficult anymore.
- Comment on Jeez, it's like there's no appeasing you tyrants 2 weeks ago:
The same as it does at any other company, just lip service, but now they won’t even do that
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 2 weeks ago:
Saying downloaded media or physical media collections are hard and fall apart is illogical considering that’s how everyone on the planet used to engage with media before internet streaming became such a huge thing
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 2 weeks ago:
So them put some effort into acquiring good health media for your kid to watch and put that into the tablet and remove all other apps so they can only engage with content that has been pre veted by you, parenting takes effort

What how, were they spying on you or did you accidentally reveal it somehow

Reminds me of the TV show severance, work a few more years and maybe you will get the music and dance experience soon
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 2 weeks ago:
The lack of scenery and being in the middle of nowhere with poor public transportation options is a failure of suburban design caused by segregation of commercial and residential areas and too much dependency on personal cars. I’ve never liked those rows up rows of identical single family homes, they feel empty and soulless, which is why I prefer staying on the outer neighborhoods of downtown so there’s plenty of walkable places and public transportation options
