It’s funny how when this was released, people were massively up in arms since it was ‘only cosmetic’ - then we saw what these companies would do with PvP games and P2W microtransactions, so people had to turn around and beg for them to return to being purely cosmetic additions…

You do you, but if you’re reverting to binary to explain how simple it is to add values together, I think you’ve made a wrong turn somewhere.

Those are so easily commensurable! It’s 1 and 59/64 obv.

I legit can’t tell if this is sarcasm.

Americans merely adopted the nonsensical measurements. The Brits were born to them.

I think it’ll actually be Xarmageddon, which is like Armageddon, but much more woke.

I’m surprised he hasn’t changed his name to Elon Mux by now.

It’s not the worst strategy (and is actually referred to as ‘peppering’ your password)… but if your primary use-case is websites and mobile apps, using a password manager like Bitwarden and randomly generated strong passwords is still a better strategy (and probably faster too, since you don’t need to type it out manually anymore, and/or remember which flex you used when creating your ‘peppered’ password).

This is a good approach if you have to login to services that aren’t via a web browser though - e.g. Remote desktops etc.

I don’t think broad brushstrokes are helpful here - regular people can be real assholes, and we need to balance a public servant’s individual right to privacy with the public’s right to transparency.

Some jobs such as Police Officers, I have no qualms with filming while they’re in uniform or otherwise on-the-job. But I can also see how a blanket approval could backfire, e.g. some aggrieved person decides to stalk some poor guy who’s only job is to center divs on some government website, just because they find out he’s a government worker.

Wait… People are calling the emergency phone line after getting scammed? Wonder if that’s just Zoomers being too dumb to avoid scams but not dumb enough to think an emergency phone call will help.

If we want authors to survive, we’ve got to stop assuming that authors’ intellectual labour is a public commodity.

The irony being that this is exactly what copyright was originally intended to facilitate - authors creating works to become public domain within a relatively short period of time.

Agreed - they really just need to roll the ‘Profile Switcher for Firefox’ extension into base functionality - and this would have the benefit of not requiring an additional install to work.

I think this is technically a loop.

And that’s not even getting into how banks worldwide have been cutting down on staff numbers for years, and directing people to just their apps instead.

As much as we can (and should) lambast Facebook/Meta’s C-Suite for terrible decisions, their engineers are generally pretty legit.

Sleeping under rocks long enough would give you brain damage.

I’m legitimately surprised I haven’t seen this meme format for the reddit migration before today.
