Several years ago I got an email about my rockstar account - someone had guessed the password and logged in, they were trying to change the email address. Luckily I’d managed to stop it in time and recovered the account.

Several years later, I decided to give GTA Online a go, I logged in and found I had billions in cash and loads of property and cars. I guess that they must have been nodding while using my account.

But I didn’t get banned so free stuff I guess?

My friends trying Linux would just give me anxiety

Stash is a self-hosted webapp written in Go which organizes and serves your porn.

Unfortunately that is not a workable solution to me, but I appreciate that it’s the best idea for most.

I actually have a HP printer with instant ink. When it first launched it was great, there was a “free” tier that was like up to 10 pages free per month.

I don’t print a lot but like having a printer for the odd job so that was ideal for me. Now and again a new ink cartridge would arrive and I just didn’t think about it.

But they took away the free tier, so I’ve been on that £0.99 plan which is like 15 pages a month. I put up with it because it was convenient enough to not have to worry about ink, but I was still pissed off at the rug pull.

If they do raise the price in the UK, I’ll just sell the printer and buy a new one that does super cheap ink.

Any recommendations out there?

This needs to be higher for visibility. The story of Google killing XMPP is a good one but it’s utterly bullshit. XMPP was a mess, Google didn’t kill it, it killed itself by having fucked ecosystem that didn’t do anything better than numerous proprietary standards at the time.

It’s not like XMPP was EVER dominant, nor was Google talk - even man messenger was more popular at the time and that’s also dead.

Hashing is “one way” and produces a fixed length output. It’s useful for things like knowing if data has been modified or in the case of passwords, it’s a way to store a value that lets you check a password is correct without storing the password itself.

You cannot “reverse” a hash by design.

Encryption is reversible, you need to be able to get the original data back.

We do use both together in various ways, wtf encrypt data to protect it and then hash the data to make sure it hasn’t been modified. They go hand in hand.

I don’t think /u/Telorand was suggesting that. Rather I think they’re saying that Fox news is trying to appeal to both trump supporters and non-trump supporters within their base, whatever their base counts as these days.

This is absolutely Sony’s fault. Sony owns the platform, Sony took the money, Sony signed the terms and agreements with Discovery that let them pull the content users paid for.

I don’t disagree that Capitalism doesn’t work in its purest form, but we’ve hardly had a success with communism in its purest form either.

It’s almost like there’s a middle ground that’s the best of both worlds.

They were doomed the second yahoo touched them.

A thread on a different article about the same thing had someone demanding a change in law to make robots safer and stop this happening again because 48 people were killed by robots in the USA…since 1992.

Yes, there’s a lot to take in with that. Yes, some people are idiots.

Believe me it’s often the only option I have and it has a whole host of problems. Things sometimes aren’t in stock and you get dumb substitutions or no substitution at all - which means I still need to go and pick up whatever I’m missing or make do without.

For fresh produce, it’s entirely random if I get decent selection or bruised up leftovers. If I want baked potatoes I have no way of picking them myself and end up with crappy tiny things unless I buy the more expensive explicit “jacket potatoes”.

It’s a nightmare.

I definitely understand that perspective and I would never say no to better public transport. However, as someone that has spent their entire life entirely reliant on public transport, I can assure you that even good public transport isn’t a solution to all problems.

For example I can’t just nip out to a hardware store to pick up some supplies because I fancy doing a bit of DIY, I am reliant on friends or Taxis to carry bulky items. I can’t even do a large shop because it’s too much to carry, I have to either have it delivered in which case I’m not able to easily see what I am getting - an issue be it fresh produce or just not realising how big a jar of something is, or I am forced to turn one shopping trip into several smaller trips. I certainly can’t buy in bulk to save money.

I can’t just go somewhere on a whim, I have to plan ahead and make sure I’m able to get any connections or be aware of any disruption.even when public transport is good, it still has issues.

That "traffic between two IP addresse"s is enough reason to use a VPN you trust.

Put it this way, bit torrent traffic can be encrypted and routed over standard ports to make it look like regular web traffic, so still “just traffic between two IP addresses” but you wouldn’t run that without a VPN, would you?

As a partially sighted person that’s unable to legally drive, an autonomous car is an absolute dream to me and would give me a personal freedom many currently take for granted.

The rights to search sure are, but it’s more like Google happens to be the one paying it right now. It could be Microsoft or Yahoo or anyone.

Mozilla definitely needs to diversity better here, but the implication that they’re “funded by google” is completely misleading.

I dont know much about the primary developers of Lemmy,

With respect, maybe you shouldn’t be commenting on what’s going on behind the scenes. They are good developers but they’re not good leaders or shepherds of such a big project. They need to hand over stewardship to someone that can be trusted.
