I think a lot of people in this community consider it a lifestyle to pirate media.

Do you know what community this is?

That’s really awesome, glad ypu’re here with us. I hope this shows people that even when you’re at your lowest point (or perceived lowest point), it’s not hopeless.

What kind of gun were you gonna get though?

I’m pretty abrasive but nothing happened to me IDK what you’re talking about

There’s no need for a new internet. Every garbage service has a somewhat viable alternative.

You have peertube instead of youtube Kagi, duckduckgo, marginalia, etc instead of Google search Lemmy instead of reddit Mastodon, polycentric instead of twitter Gitea instead of github Bandcamp instead of spotify There are probably more things but you get the idea. The problem is not the internet itself but that you have to have many people go to objectively less polished or paid services to protect their personal data. I don’t know how that would happen since honestly, the privacy shit doesn’t affect people’s everyday lives, but using different services does affect their lives.

What should have 23andme done?

Just because this method is a subset of the brute force attack doesn’t mean that they don’t have request limiting. They are reusing known breached passwords from other platforms, which makes it basically a guarantee that they will get the right password if they don’t use a password manager. Their computer systems are secure, it’s just their business model that’s a privacy nightmare.

The article heavily implies that she was demoted because of the research she did. Is that the case? They said she “wasn’t of faculty quality” and nothing more. According to this, she couldn’t geg funding for years until the university demoted her.

That article was trash. Literally just a bunch of tweets with very little context.

People may have read this and got too excited. He just believes in socially left policy. He’s probably not a communist.

Doesn’t this article explicitly state that they are contributing to drivers and other projects that they use? It just sucks that you overlooked all of what they did and just focused on them not opening up their hardware configurations.

Also, what hardware configurations did they close? I couldn’t find any problems when looking this up. It seems like you can just install another OS while having some hiccups. Which is understandable since most desktop OSes are geared toward a mouse and keyboard control.

Is what they’re doing causing issues to users of their devices? If not, then no one should care. It’s the same for nvidia, if no one is affected, then whatever. But nvidia does cause measurable harm to the FOSS ecosystem and makes adoption worse, so they deservingly get shit from the FOSS community. But don’t just criticize companies purely for closing their sources.

Speculators have taken over crypto so the volatility is unacceptable. The only way you would make it viable is by sending the money amd coverting to a fiat currency, otherwise no one is gonna take bitcoin from you.

I think it’s inevitable that lemmy attracts these kinda people. At least for me, I got out of Reddit not just because of the API decisions, but because I just don’t like the idea of having 0 control over my services. The API thing was just a wakeup call.

I’d say that I’m “part of the problem” in terms of shilling for FOSS software, but I was the same back on Reddit. So it’s gonna be my type of people that come in here.

Either that or tankies

If that’s the case then why do cars cry about wanting internet connection for updates?

You can create another wallet and move all the funds there

That actually looks really amazing! I really want more services to actually compel users to pay to support them, and make it a good decision to do so. I think this is the best suggestion so far. Thanks mate!

I tried it but unfortunately it’s very similar to Google search just without the trackers, and sometimes the results are a bit worse (worth it for not having the trackers though)

Capacity as in mental capacity. People don’t just wanna murder people. Even if you think you’re in the right, killing people kinda makes people feel bad.

The point is to be more nuanced and actually get to the bottom of why she did what she did. By default, people don’t have the capacity to just straight up murder helpless children. If someone does that, something is seriously wrong. What happened in this case? Is it mental illness? Is that nurse this incompetent (unlikely)? Why was this left unchecked for so long since doctors have seemingly voiced some concerns in the past?

Even if turns out to be mental illness, that doesn’t mean that she should go back to business with a warning, she is still a threat to other people.

For the variability point, they do tests in as a controlled environment as they could, and do the tests until they get consistent data. But what do you mean by significance test and how can they do it?

I agree they’re not the gold standard but they’re the best we got in terms of independent third party testers, and I would assume they’re more than good enough for tech stuff.
