  I think I was thinking of situations where the wifi owner redirects you to their impersonation site with their own cert, but a normal browser will pop up a big warning about that. Also if the site properly uses HSTS and you’ve been there on that machine before, then you’re protected from being directed to a http impersonation site. A VPN will protect you from both (assuming the VPN us trustworthy), but if you’re savvy you don’t need it. But then the type of person who needs the kind of simplified explanation for “why VPN” that you get in ads is not savvy.

  No, I’m definitely talking about https. Could be this is no longer a thing tho, I need to look it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My new and improved privacy stack⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m under the impression https can be defeated by a man-in-the-middle attack if you’re not paying attention. Haven’t looked into it recently to be sure if that’s still the case or a solved issue, though. But that was one reason to use a VPN while on untrusted wifi, supposedly.

  I think the issue is that winning long-term requires investing in the defeated country, like you guys did with Japan. Rather than just stopping bombing them and leaving them to fend for themselves, breeding resentment. Resentment is gonna happen regardless, of course, which is why the best move is to not start a war in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crazy how nature do dat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hah, I get it now. Tho it does leave me wondering why use money for that? Is it just cause you have it on hand and lack anything more suitable?

  Commodore 64

  I’m under the impression that no, the US does not have enough conventional weapons to do this. If he were to escalate to non-conventional weapons that would change things but I don’t want to think about how the rest of the world would react to the US carpet bombing an entire country with nukes…

  Gotta pick a good starter to carry you through the early game.

  Here’s hoping they do, yeah. I suspect most do, at least where I live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life pro tip for friends of pharmacists⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is interesting. But a consideration for the doctor, not the layperson. Everyday people should still take the full course prescribed and hope their physician has prescribed the right dose.

  That works too.

  USA first. :P

  Not bad. My favourite of these is where he’s holding a random DC power pack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Michael⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not wrong. Microtransactions ruined gaming, too. :P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Still own one. Was looking at going to a Kona EV but sounds like there’s a wide spread reduction gear issue with the model I was considering, so maybe not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Michael⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Esports ruined gaming, change my mind (impossible)

  I mean, this is a thing in Australia too. But you wear them on the other side of your chest to show they’re not yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sailing the high seas⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sailing the high seas⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was too good to be true. Pay a pittance for access to everything forever? There was no way it would stay good, and when it stopped being good the people who had paid for it would own nothing. That was my thinking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sailing the high seas⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never subbed since I saw streaming as a ripoff from the beginning. What’s happened to wake everyone else up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who plays like that x_x⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mhm, it’s all about perspective. Moving the viewport or the content. The viewport or the viewer, for first person. Ideally you should always have the option to choose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who plays like that x_x⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which way should the text on your screen move when you spin the mouse wheel? :P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Source?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse, you can tell from the filename they didn’t even save the full resolution image.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Language model ⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first C in Pacific is pronounced at least very similarly to the one in Ocean, depending on dialect.
