It's absolutely bonkers.

There's so many people here that fight against their own interests by letting perfect be the enemy of good.

Got to love ignorant hot tapes based on article headings.

That's.... Literally just a long password.

I assumed you were talking about a private key as in cryptographic private key, where your data is encrypted on the remote server and your private key is required for it to be decrypted and for you to use it.

If you just talking about something to get into an SSH key then all that is is a longer password.

It should be $0 because this was a credential stuffing attack (Using breached passwords people reused), and affected people who knowingly shared their data with other people.

23&me didn't leak data, they didn't have any database breaches, their infrastructure wasn't compromised due to negligence...etc The majority share of negligence is in the users here.

Yes, they should have MFA, but also no, most sites and services don't force you to use MFA to begin with, and that's not a regulatory requirement anyways.

This is, for the most part, the fault of the folks using terrible security practices such as refusing passwords and sharing their data with other users. And this is a shitty precedent to set where the technical reasons for this event are thrown out the window in favor of the politics of it.

That's literally just a long password that you can never recover your data from when you inevitably lose or forget it (remember we're talking about the majority of users here who do not use password managers).

I do now!

One device has a red/orange theme. The other is blue themed.

I really need a light behind the monitor to really value it in though. I rarely see my background with all the windows open.

Custom launchers have their own issues. I've tried them such as Nova launcher and I really just don't like the experience.

I'm not sure what your point is because nothing you said changes what I said.

Accidents happen, I for sure know this. Especially when you're sick, or overworked, or just sleep deprived.

Even moreso if you only have 1 desk and use a KVM.

It'd be nice if comments like yours would give folks a second thought instead of riding in on a high horse just to shit on someone and leave. It's not what we need on Lemmy.

If only we had a choice to... You know... Not use the stupid thing

Unfortunately that right is only reserved for EU Citizens.

Google needs to be broken up.

Imagine this comment existing before woman's suffrage.

Mass protests are how change has always happened to the oppressed. The oppressed have always continued to be oppressed when they take the stance of your comment.

The comment two above this links to a tool that literally does live syncing on a line by line level. Unless you're editing the same lines at the same time you're not going to get sync conflicts.

I use it as well and it works wonderfully in real time.

Please do not make this another 2016, and assume Kamila will win.

The Russian bots are out in full force to pacify voters that "they have this in the bag". This is an indication that the only way we lose is by not voting. And the sentiment is changing, I see calls to vote less and less now, and comments assuming Kamila has already won more and more.

It's not over till it's over.

Bug fixing only if it's actually bug fixing and not just plumbing debugging where you're not actually debugging you're just hunting for a misconfiguration for hours or days.

WorkRave come to mind

Incels at least is a natural consequence of the difference between society's expectations, the needs of an individual, and generally the lack of support and or direct toxicity towards men who need help and emotional support men require as humans.

That one is a societal problem around isolating people away from affection.

The rest I have no freaking clue how one becomes a Nazi in 2024.

Yes, literally anyone that wants to sell a product or provide a service relies, to a large degree, on advertising.

It's been this way for over a century.

You literally can't.

There's a ton of stuff you can't do with the new garbage settings.

Let's not even mention that on an operating system called "Windows" you can only have one "window" of settings open. And opening new settings will just replace where you just where. Which is extremely rage inducing.

I very specifically want an app that collates all the information that can possibly be gathered about me in a way that I can utilize and abuse it myself. For me there is a lot of utility and value to be found with this sort of thing.

Of course the security posture of said app needs to be rather robust. And instead of it being an app it should instead be an SDK that I can then choose and control my own storage medium for.

Never not

I hope it happens one day, but that's an almost insurmountable task given the scale.

Take the entirety of the fediverse, and it's entire history, and you're probably talking a days worth of search engine indexing compute & storage.

The scale is large and the fediverse is incredibly small. Keeping my fingers crossed, but definitely not holding my breath.

In the meantime, I'll use Kagi.

No, it sums up a very specific type of AI...

Blanket statement are dumb.

Welcome to corporate conglomerates and enshitification.

Anti-consumer antitrust stances enables this to happen.

They literally say in the title "use prison for food and shelter as opposed to dying homeless in a gutter".

This states, in not unclear terms, that the context here is being disabled and so poor that food and shelter are inaccessible.

Outside of this, have you considered moving to a country with a viable welfare state that takes care of people with disabilities?

Ah yes, with all that money, paperwork, and jobs this person probably doesn't have...

Other countries don't want America's destitute.

Username checks out

Other than meds?

Actually getting enough sleep.

I'm not sure why you're so dismissive of this? It's kind of asinine.

Does everyone everywhere only ever use computers in an enclosed room? Is everyone with something value to exfiltrate easily accessible to kidnap and beat with a wrench?

This is valuable for corporate espionage, political purposes, or for nation states. If miniaturized, even easier for targeted attacks where it might be difficult to inject malware, or for broad attacks on office workers.

And the best part is that it doesn't leave a trace which beating someone with a wrench and malware would do....

Ohhh, you get to pay based on the meters of mouse movement you do. Usage based billing, perfect.

We already do, with intentionally fast breaking switches. They get away with charging $100 for a mouse, and ensuring a $0.30 part will break long before the devices useful lifetime. Generating mountains of ewaste.

Why can't they get away with the next step, which is charging a subscription fee to use their mice as well?

Which is planned obsolescence anyways.

It's not a dopey idea, it's an enshitification one, and one we will see again because there are no consequences.

Logitech will have subscription hardware, guaranteed. They'll just go back to the drawing board on how to market anti-consumer practices better.

And similarly are antitrust regulations have done nothing to prevent companies like Logitech from just acquiring all of their competitors and then doing this anyways once there is no more competition. And even using potential competitors into bankruptcy before they can actually compete.

The bullshit asymmetry principle is in full effect here.

It takes nothing to make up bullshit and it takes hundreds, thousands, of times the resources to refute it.

Meanwhile another hundred pieces of bullshit have been created.

This is all just a bunch of red herrings and we waste so much time and effort into giving them attention.

Did they though?

Many elderly end up being forced to sell their home and empty their retirements on nursing home costs. Leaving nothing to their descendants.

The ones that die at home or unexpectedly would be the ones that leave something behind in our capitalist wasteland.

This.... Isn't how large scale technologies work. Not even close, not even "same planet" close. That's also not how antitrust breakups work, why open source private technologies? How do you think that's supposed to work? How does that precedent work?

You could open source all ~15,000+ repos from my company, and be entirely incapable of actually operating the grand majority of it. And we're, maybe, 1/10,000th the size of Google on the tech side.

You also can't just "split" a single technology apart, that's gloriously, ignorantly, simplistic. You're talking potentially years of dedicated work by hundreds, thousands, of individuals to achieve something like that. How do you expect that to operate?

It's going to be a nightmare to just rip seemingly unrelated, but interdependent, verticals of Google apart. Your request here is wholely unrealistic.

Seriously. This is such a shit situation.

The U.S. is between a rock and a hard place with Israel being the only friendly foothold in the Middle East with ports. Which enables a ton of power projection over "things" the U.S. cares about.

But then Israel is now an entity that we don't want to associate with. But we can't just let them shit the bed and allow a multi-state war with nuclear powers to take place either.

The later will hurt the U.S. in tangible ways, for decades to come.

So what do you do? Do you knowingly cause damage the security interests of country, or do you follow the social/societal expectations that we don't just fucking kill innocent civilians and let Israel eat the lunch they made... Indirectly enabling a war which you will get drug into regardless?

Shit sucks, everywhere. And Israel are being the baddies, while the U.S. is enabling it.

They could, but as it currently stands media hosting on the fediverse.... Sucks.

It's obscenely expensive for everyone involved, and scales poorly. It's just not ready to operate at scale at this point.

I'm sure it will get better, but large storage costs are better off being handled by a distributed file-system where a minimal level of duplication is baked in, but the storage load is reasonably spread out instead of fully duplicated on each peer.

There are technologies for this, but they all have their own issues. And tomorrow there will be n+1 distributed filesystems, fragmenting it further.

why is this here

Because it's relevant?

Don't let a bad thing go to waste, it's a great opportunity to shore up, improve, and accept migrating users with friendliness and openness.

A great time to share the ideology behind decentralized social media.

Just like "here", with "here" being where?

That doesn't answer the question.

Domains can expire, be sold, have their hosting (nameservers) changed....etc it's very conceivable given the current climate that it could be a malicious site used for data exfiltration from prospective voters. The security posture, if any, of the owner are also unknown, meaning it may be unknowingly compromised.

Especially when you have people willing to drop tens of millions of dollars on voter suppression.

Plain and simple, don't enter your personal information into a 3rd party site. Use your official government provided ones for this purpose.

Ah yes, the browser that monetizers based on activity tracking. The one based on chromium, handing Google further control over web standards. The browser with a a mysterious nearly unlimited budget for advertising before they even had a handful of users. That browser.
