Oh, i guess that makes some sort of sense - obviously I disagree with the conclusion, but I understand it - but it’s beyond frustrating when you think “maybe I’ll pay this bill online” and see that limit. And even if that is the reasoning for the limit, if they haven’t updated their requirements in all that time, I have little faith that they’re storing my sensitive information securely.

Yeah, using a pass phrase makes it much easier to remember on top of being more secure. But users should introduce at least a bit more complexity than that example (all lower case letters isn’t great). This1sComplexButMemorable! Is an easy example of how you can just make up a relevant sentence to what you’re using, include a range of character types for complexity and to meet requirements, and you’re good to go. Plus if you make it relevant to what you’re logging into, you’re less likely to be tempted to reuse the pass.

The most infuriating thing is websites that actually limit secure passwords (e.g. “password must be between 6 and 12 characters”). Preventing longer passwords makes little sense if they’re salting and hashing; and if they’re storing the passwords in plain text (which is just about the only reason to limit the max length to anything less than what a person would reasonably remember), that’s even worse.

If it was a motherboard replacement, it’s entirely possible they missed connecting the cable for the camera entirely or just didn’t get it fully connected and is loose.

Again, that’s incorrect. Pounds (Lbs) are the US measurement for mass. Feel free to provide a source to the contrary. I specified pounds mass vs pounds force because in an engineering space, it’s worthwhile to be specific, but the Pound (lb) is all that is specified in any documentation as the unit for mass in the US system.

That’s incorrect. They are, in engineering contexts, referred to as pounds mass (lbm) or pounds force (lbf) respectively. The US Customary Unit for mass is the pound (lb) (aka pound mass, lbm)

It’s just a pun. They’re both units of mass, hence there would be mass confusion.

It doesn’t work with the pun, but the more confusing part for people would probably be the fact that pounds are used for both mass and force, but in SI, the units are different (kilograms for mass vs newtons for force), though that doesn’t really matter for most people.

I wouldn’t say 90% but it is significant. “Hurry up and wait” is a common phrase in the military - you don’t exactly have much “free time” (where you could do as you please) but you do have a lot of time wasted because you have to be at this location at 5:30 so you can wait for an evolution at 6 that doesn’t actually involve you doing anything until 7:30. So you just sit around waiting to do shit but can’t go anywhere else. Poetry sounds like a better way to pass the time than what I did in those situations, which was usually nap or BS with the others waiting around.

The flaw in your argument is that Republicans will only misuse and abuse a legal argument if the Democrats use it first. Regardless of whether the 14th is invoked against Trump, the Republicans will attempt to do so in any case that they have the slightest chance of succeeding or when there is no chance, but can successfully be used as a distraction/manipulation of their base. The fact that conversations of the 14th are now occurring is already enough that Republicans will make use of it any chance they get. And you can be damned sure that they won’t be the least bit concerned about “will the Democrats use this against us too?”

Seems to be working fine for me in Indiana. Looked at the Lemmy repo and could look through the repo. I didn’t like try to push anything to a repo of my own though.
