Nah, I don't think the "both sides are the same" argument is anything but propaganda at this point when Obama brought in free healthcare and Trump brought in the Gestapo.

Saying this as a European.

Because people that don't want to see the slop will press the big "fuck off with the slop" button and that's exactly what Microsoft wants.

As a primarily backend engineer, I think the opposite here. The backend makes sense, JS is just a nightmare.

Fast food used to be cheap and for a lot of people growing up it was a treat they could look forward to. It's not that people are shilling for some giant corporate entity, they just miss that feeling if being young when the world wasn't on fire and some cheap assed burger of questionable quality was a high point of their week.

I'll never understand why people put Steve Jobs on a pedestal. He might have been a very astute businessman , but by all accounts he was a horrible human being and a colossal prick.

From the paper itself:

We had a video-conference and numerous email exchanges with Bitwarden. At the time of writing, they are well advanced in deploying mitigations for our attacks: BW01, BW03, BW11, BW12 were addressed, the minimum KDF iteration count for BW07 is now 5000, and their roadmap includes completely removing CBC-only encryption, enforcing per-item keys and changing the vault format for integrity. On 22.12.25 they shared with us a draft for a signed organisation membership scheme, which would resolve BW08 and BW09. At our request, to maintain anonymity, they have not yet credited us publicly for the disclosure, but plan to do so.

I didn't look at the response to other Password managers, but the gist here is that the article is overblowing the paper by quite a bit and the majority of the "issues" discovered are either already fixed, or active design decisions.

This makes me laugh because I work for a UK company that was bought out by an American company, who's trying to treat the UK staff how they would treat US staff - and it's not going well.

Our American colleagues cannot fathom how much time we take off for holidays, especially around Christmas. They also got a shock when doing some recent "restructuring" they couldn't just fire a bunch of UK folks.

But confusingly, Trump has continued to send Vance out to campaign events all week, while the Republican presidential nominee has remained largely out of the public eye. Given Vance’s low appeal, it’s unclear how this strategy helps the campaign.

Trump is going to blame Vance for the failure of his campaign, calling it now. He'll have the usual shit about dems as well, but he's going to scapegoat vance and throw him under the bus just like he's done with literally everyone else before him.

If I'm buying a sword, even if that sword is going to spend 99% of its time on a wall or in a display case, I still want to know that it feels good to hold, otherwise what's the fucking point of owning a sword.

If I see a sick in the street, I'm going to do the exact same thing, I ain't no expert, I just like to experience a little joy in my life where I can.

Pretty sure this is just part of the "give them a terrible deal they wouldn't agree to" strat that means Trump can say "we gave them a very good deal and they refused, Russia can do what they want".

It's all bullshit and always has been.

Rust is completely correct to be a dick about it as well. Type safety is there for a reason.

Steam doesn't enforce the use of its DRM (which is super easy to bypass anyway but that's a side note).

Steam lets you publish your game on their platform and hand out as many keys as you like to resell on other platforms (at no cost) while still doing all the heavy lifting of hosting and distributing.

Steam doesn't decide what kinds of titles get published on their platform any more than GoG does, so the bit about remasters, etc. is a bit weird. Besides you the user should get to decide what you want to buy and play.

I love GoG, but I love Steam as well. They're not mutually exclusive and you can have both.

Lemmy's userbase is currently skewed very left wing, many people on the left are vegan or vegetarian or at least care about climate change enough to see reduction in meat consumption as a necessity to fixing it.

So it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that you see more anti-meat discourse.

Disclaimer: I eat meat

I'm very fortunate that my partner loved giving blow jobs, she'll even just randomly start sucking my dick unprompted because she's filthy and enjoys it so much.

That said when I met her, she wasn't as keen on receiving but luckily enough I have been able to warm her up to it more, because I love eating her delicious cunt.

Oh I completely misunderstood this one. I thought the joke was that the age difference was borderline problematic so the guy was trying to eek out a few extra hours to make it less bad.

Nope, turns out it's just astrology bullshit.

I'm not entirely sure what the "maintenance burden" even is on a tech that hasn't changed in decades.

It's self hosting by the literal definition that you host the server yourself.

That it's closed source and sends all kinds of data to another server is an entirely separate (and valid) concern.

As much as I agree with the concerns around Plex, I would rather we didn't start gatekeeping the self hosting community with arbitrary requirements and grey lines around what is and isn't "true self hosting" or whatever. I would far rather we inform people and let them make their own choices about what they want to host on their private devices and networks.

It's incredibly difficult to read the captions on this meme, there's not enough contrast with the white text on the light backgrounds.

The whole McDonald's coffee debacle is constantly misreported, but I think it's becoming more known that McDonald's are in fact the bad guys in that one.

Interrobang.

It's this thing: ‽

More people should use the symbol because it looks cool and has a badass name, so for that you need to know what it's called.

Who's with me‽
