- Comment on Mint Mobile discloses new data breach exposing customer data 10 months ago:
Edit 2: they made it a pain in the ass to change your password apparently now they favor only 20 characters max (rip my 35 character password).
That just screams they're not storing passwords properly. If you're salt+hashing your passwords, they could throw Hamlet into the password field and the only limit is how big the text entry field can be. The output is a fixed length string, so I put length should be immaterial.

Substack is likely very concerned about the purity of the volk
- Comment on Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content 10 months ago:
If you think curating what is allowed on a website is fascism, no one should listen to you at all because you clearly are talking about things you don't understand.
The world many people seem to be advocating for here doesn’t honestly seem that much different from one led by nazies.
This is the absolute stupidest take I have ever seen. Read a goddamned book (or, actually understand what Nazis stand for) before you comment on things.....
They just replace jews and gays with other groups of people they don’t like.
"Censorship and murdering entire classes of people are the same thing"

Substack: Nazis are cool, but you better not be selling sex related shit! We have standards!
- Comment on Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content 10 months ago:
TIL that Substack is apparently a bunch of crypto-fascists who expect people to believe they don't support Nazis, they just give them money and a place at their table to talk about it.
- Comment on What would happen if you drank bleach, and then drank ammonia? 11 months ago:
The interesting part and the reason I always remember the story is that when the doctors washed her guts, they found a dead tapeworm. The bleach killed it. And the hospital staff gave it back to her in a jar haha. What a souvenir.
Uhhhh, doesn't the digestive system break down and slough off in tapeworm like pieces? I remember the BtB episode on those crazy Church of Bleach fuckers, and that was one of the symptoms the children had after their parents forced them to drink small amounts of bleach over a time. Here's an ABC article that comments that they claim it kills parasites, so I'm not convinced it was an actual tapeworm...
- Comment on A scandal about Bill Gates would be called Bill Gates-gate. 11 months ago:
Matt Gaetz tried that shit a few years ago when his taste in younger women (and maybe men, who knows) came to light, but I was really hoping people would have gone with "Pizza-Gaetz" just because it was more clever and pointed out that he was a sex trafficker to a minor.

Most legible
Most is doing a ton of heavy lifting there.
- Comment on Synology DS215j NAS - time for an upgrade? 11 months ago:
So just swap new drives in one at a time, after backing your data up just in case. I upgraded mine to 4x10 drives 3-4 years ago, and its painless as long as you wait for the resilvering process to complete.
- Comment on COP28 president says there is ‘no science’ behind demands for phase-out of fossil fuels 11 months ago:
It was a farce when they were using cop28 to set up oil deals. At this point, it's real life satire.
- Comment on Elon Musk launches profane attack on X advertisers 11 months ago:
There is no such thing as free speech in the United States.
If saying an opinion gets you fired from your job, or gets advertisers pulled from your site: guess what, that opinion might as well be banned from being posted.
Free speech is when you can say things without consequences, apparently? So I guess your free speech to say stupid shit is more important than other peoples' free speech to react to what you say or to choose not to associate with you?
I'm surprised at how many knuckledraggers seem to forget that freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences, and freedoms go both ways.
- Comment on Keep in mind that social security is set to run out in 10 years time. 11 months ago:
Only if we let the GOP and MAGAts control the narrative and make people not understand that minor reforms can make it feasible for DECADES longer than the projected 2035 at current funding rates. But people are stupid and greedy, which is (one reason) why the GOP still has as much power as they do.

I don't think they were confused by your point, as your idea is bad on its face for the very reasons they noted.

Lol, you're unbelievable naive if you think this wouldn't be abused by the powers that be or subverted by hackers.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Windows Hello fingerprint authentication has been bypassed 11 months ago:
It kinda does though, if you look at it from a speed/competency aspect. I'm more and more convinced that the people who build out features only have tangential ideas on how it integrates into the overall system, so just throwing a browser at every problem gets you a cookie cutter backend with APIs and let's you shove half baked features out the door without having to figure out how to wrap data in protocols since you just hand your payload so the browser and wait for a response.
- Comment on OpenAI Employees Say Firm's Chief Scientist Has Been Making Strange Spiritual Claims 11 months ago:
So you had me doubt myself, especially when the first thing I found when searching for the episode was the STDWYTK episode on him, but it looks like I'm half right. Turns out Parsons was the co-lead of one of the LRH episodes, which is the one I was thinking of: How L. Ron Hubbard Made An Antichrist Using Sex Magic
Robert is joined by DJ Danl Goodman to discuss Jack Parsons and Black Magic Scientology.

Behind the Bastards has a pretty good episode on him, pretty sure Aleister Crowley shows up.

Eli5? I'm assuming this has something to do with the prompt?
- Comment on Is the right to abortion a "negative right" or a "positive right"? 11 months ago:
the parent can always give the baby to the foster care system once it's born, so their obligation would be limited to 9 months total.
That argument entirely overlooks the physical and mental changes that accompany pregnancy that persist well after the baby is delivered. Forcing the child bearing person to give up 9 months of their life for something they don't want or won't keep is awful alone, but the possible complications and life long issue that can come with it should make it unreasonable to force someone to go through that unwillingly.
As you surmises, this is about power and punishment, not rights. Rights are just a convenient smokescreen for the autocratic control of women.
- Comment on OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO 11 months ago:
I've not been super stoked on ai specifically because of my track record using them. Maybe it's my use case (primarily technical/programming/cli questions that I haven't been able to answer myself) or my prompts are not suited for ai assistance, but I've had dozens of interactions with the various ai bots (bard, bing, gpt3/3.5) have been disappointing to say the least. Never gotten a correct answer, rarely given correct syntax, and it frequently just repeats answers I've already told it are incorrect and/or just don't work.
Ai has been nothing more than a disappointment to me.

How you gonna post memes on a machine that doesn't support modern browser protocols? This thing can't even load the Google home page or probably any Lemmy/kbin instance.
- Comment on This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI 1 year ago:
I'm sure others know more about it than i do but I thought pixels were very simple things.
You're right, in that pixels are very simple things. However, you and I can't tell one pixel from another in an image, and at the scale of modern digital art (my girlfriend does hers at 300dpi), shifting a handful of pixels isn't going to make much of a visible difference to a person, but a LLM will notice them.
- Comment on Hackers Stole Access Tokens from Okta’s Support Unit 1 year ago:
We urge Okta to consider implementing the following best practices, including:
Take any report of compromise seriously and act immediately to limit damage; in this case Okta was first notified on October 2, 2023 by BeyondTrust but the attacker still had access to their support systems at least until October 18, 2023
Holy shit, this is absolutely beyond negligent for an authentication platform.
- Comment on Spotify re-invented the radio 1 year ago:
I think it's probably safe to say that the vast majority of music that is listened to today would not exist if the artists couldn't financially support themselves from it. Do you really disagree with that?
Of course not, and I clearly called out that there would be less music if there wasn't an monetary incentive to do so. But at the same time, record industry titans falling would leave a massive vacuum that would be filled by more independent artists and labels. In the end, there would be less music overall, but there would still be some way for artists to get their cut.
Industry titans aren't music, they're merely the middlemen who craft what they think the public wants to hear and leech money from artists. Them falling would be a boon to the smaller and more niche acts who don't get the chance to explode because they don't have the weight of a major label to push them into the spotlight.
- Comment on Spotify re-invented the radio 1 year ago:
Yes, you can of course always pirate if you want to deal with the hassle of that, but you should at least keep it in the back of your mind that, if everyone did that, we wouldn't have any music to enjoy at all.
This is bunk. If people pirated the record labels out of business we would have less music sure, but there will always be people who make music for the love of the craft, rather than just to line an executive's pocket.
I'm all for directly supporting artists (and I buy albums and merch directly from the band wherever possible), but let's not pretend like the people pulling the strings aren't also responsible for the shitty situation they're in.
Fuck the recording industry and how they treat artists.

It's funny, I haven't had any visual issues, but the stability is awful on my rig. But I can't complain too loudly, I'm below minspec.

You get 3 hours?
When I actually play I make a habit of hitting f5 before big transitions or literally anything related to the lodge.
