It’s beginning to feel all bad at this point, yeah, I agree.
They’ll save a lot of money, but (a) the cost isn’t worth it and (b) it’s just totally assenine logic that takes a dump on the idea of a government’s existence having any sense of meaning that goes beyond serving the interests of the wealthy.
Under the latest plans, tech companies would need to notify the British government before rolling out a security fix but might be refused permission if it blocks a vulnerability that’s being exploited by security services…
I suppose these days it’s cheaper to find some half baked vulnerability and pray it lasts a while instead of just adding back doors in the devices
No, it isn’t fine.
And no, I don’t think I’m “very smart”.
but if it starts to be used to censor information and rate humans, that’s the line.
That line has already been crossed. Since it’s already been crossed, it’s inevitable that this will be used in that way.
Maybe they’re not as smart as you’d like.
You think I want them to be smart? Lol.
Something controversial happens -> a lot of people get pissed off (understandably so) -> media milks the shit out of the event -> narratives - true, false, embellished, whatever get created -> mischaracterization for anyone who’s approach to handling the situation isn’t in line with majority rule, blah blah blah -> the bad guys (usually) walk away fine.
That’s a very common cycle.
I wasn’t happy with what happened, but it’s been 2 months at this point, and what I’ve gathered is that nothing is going to change.
And yet because I say that these protests are fruitless people get mad and go absolutely nuts on the downvote button.
Sorry, I was under the impression we could have an open discussion without making assumptions in bad faith about people who disagree with the rationale.
My bad 🤚
They don’t care about any of that though. They knew this was going to happen before they made the announcement.
Do you really think they were that out of touch?
What did they really think was going to happen?
They’re going to kick and ban people who are trying to hijack the company. That should be a given, because it makes sense.
Where is the incompetence? His competency is dependent on making money for a specific few.
It has nothing to do with the outcome of the site, beyond how that outcome influences said making of money.
If the shareholders cash out happy and the site dies out, he did his job, regardless of whether or not you think that’s fair.
Yes, it sucks for the rest of us who liked Reddit. I am one of those people.
Saying this guy is incompetent just because his interests go against the interests of people who use Reddit is ludicrous.
The interests are in conflict, it sucks. That’s it. We have Lemmy. Get over it.

kindly give me your money, thanks

That’s quite a generalization
Corpos gonna corpo.
Bring back Balmer.
Then we at least can be entertained while this “money talks; bullshit walks” charade continues.
So is Mark Zuckerberg. So is Bill Gates. So is Steve Jobs.
The businesses each of the above mentioned have built have done far more harm to humanity than Musk has.
Yes, that’s definitely true. There are narratives at play, ulterior motives everywhere, and of course Musk is playing his cards for the sake maximizing revenue.
In general, it’s best to follow the money. That’s the way our world works.
I didn’t ask for it to be that way, but that’s the way it is.
You should question the angle everywhere.
but I was trying to imply, in a properly generated password, 32 digits long is very secure.
I understand, and I think you make a valid point as far as the discussion is concerned.
It’s unfortunately still a little more complicated than that, though.
Like I said, there’s more to a password than length and symbol type.
Even something like cF*+@aXbIdFHje2vZiU-1 is less secure than if it were generated by a good PRNG.
D0@ndro!dsDr@3@m0f3l3ctr!cSh33p? is also insecure, though it might have been considered secure 4-5 years ago.
You see what I’m saying?
Then of course there’s hash algorithms and how those are used to authenticate the passwords themselves, etc.
People get tribal over the dumbest shit.
Android > iPhone, motherfucker.
/s
32 is a damn strong password
Not necessarily: only if it’s generated properly, and only for the moment - that will change in the next few years.
You do realize that length and symbol type are only 2 out of many other factors that go into a strong password?
It’s not a coincidence
Yes, it is. The coincidence is in the OP mentioning Threadiverse as if it’s a common term and my misunderstanding by thinking that they’re taking “Threads” and “Fediverse” and blending them together, thinking Meta coined it.
Threads are a forum thing. This is a thread.
No shit - hence why Threads had its name in the first place.
You can downvote me all you want; it won’t make a difference.
noob
I’ll take it. It’s not like I’m trying to pretend otherwise.
it’s been called that since before threads.
Well, to be fair that’s quite a coincidence.
Password can’t exceed 32 characters
Garbage
Yeah, I honestly don’t understand why this narrative even needs to be played out.
I don’t know what angle there is by making Musk a scapegoat beyond, maybe, Ukraine trying to strengthen its supporting relationship with the US population, but it already has most of the US support anyway.
Musk has his issues, there’s no doubt about that, but not wanting to be involved is an ethical stance to take on his part.
