Doubletwist

Once again you seem to be calling for not bothering with any security effort of there’s even a remote chance of some other vulnerability happening.

The whole point of security is that it’s always a multi-layered thing. Nobody sane is pretending that encrypting web traffic with HTTPS is a panacea that’s going to solve all your data security needs. But it is sure as hell a million times better than having all of your data transmitted in the clear, with absolutely no assurance that you’re are talking to the system you think you’re talking to, or that the data hasn’t been tampered with in transit.

And don’t pretend https is a huge burden. It’s dead simple to get SSL/TLS certs, and the additional load of encrypting and decrypting the traffic is barely even a rounding error on modern CPUs.

You know how I know you don’t know anything about security or computing?

That was the first thing I thought of.

Out of everything we have today, Discord is arguably the best we’ve got.

That’s amazingly depressing.

Because up until Broadcom bought them, it was a good product with a ton of useful features, endless supported integrations with 3rd party software and hardware, relatively easy to learn/use, with good support, all at reasonable and flexible price points depending on your needs.

Of course Broadcom has now thrown all of that into the toilet…

Steam had been making Linux pretty darn good for gaming too, even for games that are technically Windows only.

The problem isn’t them being in you LAN. It’s about going to an untrusted network (eg Starbucks, hotel) and connecting to your VPN, boom, now your VPN connection is compromised.

The only reason I ever got rid of my original brother laser printer is because computers stopped coming with parallel ports, and the adapters I tried all sucked.

2nd Brother laser printer is still going strong after 15yrs.

Are you updating Debian on a potato with every single one of the 74000+ packages installed? Because even on my slowest machines (going back decades) it’s never taken anywhere near that kind of time to complete a full version upgrade, let alone just an update.

Of course you are, either it’s baked into the cost of the car, or you are paying for it in personal data. So it may be hidden, but you’re absolutely paying for it.

Only for primaries I believe. There’s nothing stopping you from voting for the Republican primary then voting for Biden in November, or vice-versa.

You had some fancy-ass McDonald’s in your area then. Ours has those flimsy tin/aluminum ashtrays.

That’s true of every study ever made, especially in today’s media environment.

And every probably done study includes acknowledgments of known shortcomings, most of the ones I’ve read include suggestions or thoughts about future studies that could be done to account for those known issues.

Media is to blame for most of the misinterpretations, not the studies themselves. It’s impossible to create a single, perfect study that can’t be misconstrued in some way.

Um. Those have existed for years.

I’ve been using a personal domain for over 20 years. I’ve never had a service reject my email domain.

Then they sue him for lying about the value of the collateral. One big oroboros of lawsuits until Trump has nothing.

So it sounds like basically it’s just client certificates?

I switched back to Firefox about 2 years ago, and I’ve only encountered a few sites that don’t work properly.

With the exception of ONE annoying SaaS site I need at work (which I might use a ton for a week then not again for weeks), I’ve only had to open a site in Chrome/edge maybe once a month. That includes running Firefox on my phone in addition to my work and personal desktop/laptops.

The main shortcoming of that is that it’s easily definable and determinable that someone is under 35yrs old, or hasn’t lived in the US for 14yrs.

But the definition of participation in insurrection is a little more loosy-goosy, and then you have to be (legally speaking) explicit in what constitutes proof that a potential candidate has participated in such an insurrection. Otherwise it will devolve into anyone accusing the candidates they don’t like of having participated in attempted insurrection.

To be clear, I’m not advocating that Trump should be allowed on the ballot or to be president, because he absolutely shouldn’t. I’m just pointing out that it’s not as simple as saying a candidate is younger than 35.

This fuck-knuckle has 5 kids. If any of them are girls, I’d bet good money he wants this because he wants to be sure they can’t have an abortion when he knocks one (or more) of them up, as part of his Handmaid’s Tale fantasy.
