Yes I know, I’ve coded in .NET before, but so are class names.

How is OldMan a property here? It’s clearly the name of a class

Yeah but he was being pedantic over the word “impossibly”. If we can make 1 atom thin sheets, then it’s not impossible, right?

The fuck? Get off the internet for a bit and touch some grass

They serve different purposes, what’s wrong with having both bikes and cars? People live outside of cities too, you know

On the surface it is true, but in reality all of those things came at the expense of people’s liberty and the people themselves - they jailed or killed anyone that didn’t agree with or was seen as an enemy of the state, resources were actually incredibly scarce and there was a lot of famine (just in the less important parts of the empire), nobody trusted anyone and people kept stealing things for themselves anyway. Oh also child labor and many many more things like that.

Like I understand the good part of communism, but oh God is the USSR the worst possible example of that, they didn’t even have real communism anyway.

Is the recent XZ backdoor (and something that had to do with SSH too) anything to worry about in terms of the probability of there being a backdoor even in open source router software?

Not trying to dissuade anyone here, I love open source software, I’m just wondering how much effort is reasonable to be put into securing your local network (i.e. buying your own router, also installing open source software, or writing your own router software if you don’t trust existing solutions) given that not everyone is tech savvy and you get diminishing returns for every additional security measure. And when is the usual point at which you would say “okay, this is secure enough”?

My router is not from an ISP, but it does get frequent firmware updates and I don’t use any cloud management features, only local configuration.

I’m curious, does running open source software somehow exempt you from getting malware?

Thank you. I noticed afterwards that this was lemmy.ml, an instance I steer clear of 🙊

Anyway, I remember how I once had to break news to a person who had either voluntarily or involuntarily set up BitLocker on their work computer and didn’t know how to access their data anymore, and I had to tell them “sorry, you’re out of luck” (now that I’m thinking, maybe there was a recovery code backed up in OneDrive?..) It’s for the best to leave it opt-in for now.

It’s a bit fascist to force people to do what you think is right, no?

Orrr it’s because a lot of people don’t care about E2EE and just want their files to be backed up. Can we stop demonizing every single IT company ever for anything they do?

I couldn’t find any reasonable statistics or survey data talking about whether people prefer cars or other modes of transport and why, but the general theme amongst Gen Z in particular is ecological awareness and sustainability, so it wouldn’t make sense for a lot of those people to drive cars just because they prefer the car itself, other than being able to get around places quickly or feeling safe on the street etc.

Probably commented on the wrong thread

!memes@lemmy.ml has become a dumpster fire. Did you mean to post on !politicalmemes@lemmy.world?

What the fuck are you on about saying “having every behaviour and text sent to Microsoft” and “arguing that Windows should be the number one”. He never said that, nor does anyone say that, get your head out your ass.

He said “Windows suits me”. That’s it, stfu.

I love loved how when Microsoft published docs on how to install and configure Linux on their desktop PCs, everyone was like “wtf??? Do they hate money?” completely missing the fact that home edition Windows is probably bringing them nothing or close to nothing, and that the real money is in B2B.

I wonder why

At least show 14 tabs of something other than porn, maybe you’ll be less embarrassed that way?

I love you how specified “as far as I know” even though it’s literally your native language lmao
