• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All of security is about trade-offs. “What does it protect me from, and what do I give up to gain that protection?”

  If you need to remember a lot of passwords, then having some kind of system makes sense.

  But most people don’t need to remember a lot of passwords. Most people can reasonably offload that job to a password manager.

  So without knowing anything more, I’d guess it’s not good security for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people have it worse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never understood the argument that you shouldn’t complain about the environment you interact with because other people interact with worse environments.

  Like, okay, that’s good to keep in mind with respect to privilege and assumptions and such, but like…

  I can’t deliver a first-hand account of someone else’s life, and I can’t identify the possible solutions to their problems as well as I can for my own — let alone access their world as well as my own, to try to fix some of the problems.

  I think on some level the people who say “focus on those other people’s problems” know that those other problems are less accessible.

  It’s not that they want you to do better activism. It’s that they want you to do none.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My password is not accepted because it is too long⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Recently had a password that was acceptable for the account creation page on the website but too long for the login screen in the mobile app.

  Took me a while to figure out that pasting into that field was just quietly dropping characters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨David Attenborough On Bottom Trawling⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First thought: Damn, that’s crazy they went ahead and did it to get the footage even though they knew how bad it was.

  Then: Well, I guess the fishermen were gonna do it no matter what, huh?

  Wait, aren’t the fishermen worried that this footage could ruin their livelihood?

  Wait… Maybe they believe that the legality of this practice already has ruined their livelihood, and they want it to stop but can’t compete unless regulation forces everyone to stop…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Copyright Office head fired after reporting AI training isn’t always fair use⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  1. Fuck AI
  2. This judge’s point is absolutely true:

  “You have companies using copyright-protected material to create a product that is capable of producing an infinite number of competing products,” Chhabria said. “You are dramatically changing, you might even say obliterating, the market for that person’s work, and you’re saying that you don’t even have to pay a license to that person.” 3. AI apologists’ response to that will invariably be “but it’s sampling from millions of people at once, not just that one person”, which always sounds like the fractions-of-a-penny scene 4. Fuck copyright 5. A ruling against fair use for AI will almost certainly deal collateral damage to perfectly innocuous scraping projects like linguistic analysis 6. We really need to regulate against AI — right now — but doing it through copyright might be worse than not doing it at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨guys what the heck theyre putting micro chips in the cheese and using blockchains to track the micro chips⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get why people think putting manifests on a blockchain is a good idea. Fraudulent manifests are usually the result of entering fraudulent data into the system, not modifying it mid-flight. If you want a way to address those situations, you need another layer where a trusted central authority is able to revise events. At which point, why even have a decentralized layer?

  They’re an ad company that just happens to offer search as a way to show ads.

  Their ideal scenario is one where you search forever and never find what you were looking for.

  But people want the freedom that comes with having a horse. Maybe if we could put horses on the tracks and hook them up to each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horses ARE Forever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s kinda weird that between unicorns, centaurs, giraffes, and horses, horses are the only made-up ones. Like come on, it’s a centaur with a dumb face, but instead of a chest and arms it’s just more neck?
