i mean ofc he’s bffs with Bill Gates

also for PR towards people that don’t know him

that’s really interesting and sad, I wonder how much of that is them actually not being able to understand vs them being convinced they can’t understand

kinda feels like the worst type of a feedback loop where people just start rejecting external information

pretty sure the nobel prize is a cover for the oil/subjugation, actually I’m convinced his entire personality is a cover really

it gets people talking and stops them from worrying about the things that actually move money and resources in this world

not a user of mastodon, but how do these long posts federate over?

slop (you can tell from the arch boundaries)

i think that’s cope unfortunately

transmission losses are my biggest concern tbh

social media does have its benefits though, like the democratisation of the press.

I’m of the opinion that simply banning advertisements outright destroys the incentive structure that exists to keep social media bad

A solution to the toddler unemployment crisis!

are you 11?

not around me

have a look at who proposed this change and you’ll see why it’s being done. it’s clear as day that this isn’t a win for anyone on the internet in Australia

just ban advertisements, it’s that easy

Association attacks exist in the wild.

Let’s say that this is their ebay account. In that case the reward for unlocking each account is very high, so attackers (even in mass attacks) have incentive to put in more work as long as the work cost per account hacked is less than the average reward and there is a net profit.

I assume in this day and age it’s probably also viable to use LLMs for password guessing, as long as it’s for a high value account. That unlocks a whole another can of worms and if it was me I’d never use low entropy passwords like “moc.y4b3-saltyboi69”

Perhaps this kind of password is viable if it’s for an online service that implements rate limiting, but you also have to consider the case that a site gets hacked and their encrypted database (encrypted by each user’s password) makes it onto the web. This has happened a lot recently and makes it ridiculously easy for people to throw their GPUs at the task.

people writing password crackers are smarter than that dude

tysm

Residents of the complex had complained last year of the netting used by the contractors to cover the scaffolding while renovation was underway. They were told by authorities that there were “relatively low fire risks.”

what does this mean? did the residents know about the nets’ fire proofing? how??

sloppy reporting

that could be one reason but I’d guess the main reason why they don’t single out the trump aligned antivax crowd is because they don’t want to alienate trump supporters (that’s like over half of the us population)

the people this information needs to get to the most are those antivaxxers, it matters more that they get vaccinated and less that we learn of their mistakes

would be nice if they linked back to the study
