Well, it’s also interesting for non native speakers who never thought about it, or just didn’t make the connection. I always assumed that was the reason for the term, but it’s nice to have confirmation.

Why? What’s so special about aviation that it benefits from imperial units?

I miss the flash sales too but it’s worth it considering it gave us refunds instead.

I pity the five year old who has to read this.

I’m a grown up though so thank you for the explanation.

Always wondered why anyone would rather talk to a person than take their time, have a nice overview of the menu, and pay in advance. I guess they are gross though.

There are doxxing websites? Like purpose-made? Isn’t that illegal? Article doesn’t mention the name, but says it has been used before. Wouldn’t it just get deleted after the first time?

Then why not train an AI on the entirety of Wikipedia? I know it’s not all correct, but that should ensure most of the information is decently accurate. Would make for a great tool if it allowed to get the same info but explained in a more casual manner.

Yes yes you’re very special and not like the other gamers

Nah, I’d love to be able to ask an assistant to make sense of the dog shit layout in word, instead of having to blindly click at menus for 10 minutes, then finally give up and Google for 10 more minutes, all because Microsoft thought it would be cool and intuitive to split menus into “view”, “review”, “layout” and “design”, because those words don’t basically all mean the same thing.

Only 1-2 years for possessing literally hundreds of CP images and videos? What the fuck? I mean I guess he didn’t harm anyone directly (as far as we know) but still, come on.

It’s really sad that they chose to implement it. I would’ve loved to play Helldivers 2 but I just refuse to allow them that level of access to my device, especially for a game that isn’t even competitive.

Yah I don’t know what anon is doing to his PC when no one is looking but it can’t be good. Firefox for at least 13 years here and never had an issue I didn’t cause myself.

What did I read ?

Thanks for the clarification. So I can surmise that length is everything then? Given that I use a password manager I’ll just stick to my long gibberish passwords in that case, but it’s good to keep passphrases in mind for use cases where I can’t copy/paste easily.

“One could make the argument that this is like a fraudulent cheese,” Kehler said. “As a cheesemaker, it’s a fraud. It looks like a cheese. It might taste like a cheese. But it’s not. It’s not connected to our historical understanding of what cheeses are.”

Oh fuck off, I love cheese arguably more than the next guy, and it’s one of the main reasons why I’ll stay as a vegetarian instead of going full vegan, but this is just stupid. Who gives a shit about “our historical understanding of” bla bla bla. With how processed most food is nowadays there’s clearly no historical connection to anything.

Honestly this whole thing is pretty disgusting, there was clearly lobbying involved, and the fact that they changed their minds after 6 months and then changed the rules while pretending their decision makes sense is so obvious. I agree with the CEO, that committee or whatever should step down and be replaced. It’s clearly just people being afraid of change and losing money. If it looks like cheese, smells like cheese, tastes like cheese, then who gives a fuck if it isn’t ‘real’ cheese.

Is that safe though? After seeing that XKCD I also thought it would be a good idea but then read that using passphrases is even worse because brute force attacks often use dictionaries as well to test word combinations, so one should use scrambled characters, just long enough to resist brute force.

Yeah my negative review of the Reddit app got removed for not being “truthful” when I (imo fairly) reviewed it as the dumpster fire it is.

Does it really matter though? “Well you see, they didn’t actually see you naked, it was just a photorealistic approximation of what you would look like naked”.

At that point I feel like the lines get very blurry, it’s still going to be embarrassing as hell, and them not being “real” nudes is not a big comfort when having to confront the fact that there are people masturbating to your “fake” nudes without your consent.

I think in a few years this won’t really be a problem because by then these things will be so widespread that no one will care, but right now the people being specifically targeted by this must not be feeling great.
