A Trillion Dollars Isn’t Worth It If You Have to Be Elon Musk

Elon Musk has the personality, maturity, insecurity of a 13-year old kid with Asperger's / autism.

I relate.

I mean, I'm about 30 years removed from the experience of a 13-year-old sperger and I would probably be just as fucking cringe as this worthless dildo if I never figured out how to grow the fuck up. If I had to trade places with Elon, and take on all of his personal baggage and lose all of my life's wisdom in the process... Hard no. Nope, not for a trillion.

CDPR boss hopes The Witcher 4 wins back fans still put off by Cyberpunk 2077's disastrous launch: "I'm not 100 percent convinced we went through the full redemption arc"

When it launched, I had it Day 1 on PS4.

It was fuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccked. Crashing, performance was shit, bugs galore, janky textures. There were a lot of people who ended up with a dogshit product from a playability perspective.

I played through it and beat it while it was still in rough shape, because I loved it so much anyway. Obviously, it improved later and it ran well when I upgraded to PS5 (and better when there was a PS5 version released). This game is currently on my PC, because I bought it again just to keep playing it there. It runs great on Linux.

CDPR used to just be a name you trusted because they built a reputation. They hurt their rep with the launch for CP2077, especially after their marketing "Out when it's ready." But they have also done the woork to rebuild it, we'll see with Witcher 4. Big promises to fulfill for that one.

Liberals dismiss ‘tinfoil hat’ privacy fears as lawful access bill passes - National | Globalnews.ca

This is such a fundamentally stupid idea in the first place. It proves the legislators are thoughtless morons on the subject.

Yes, lets compell ALL providers to create and maintain very desirable targets (dossiers of user's personal data and all activity) and also compell access for the incompetent RCMP to get it whenever they like. Let's also understand that Canada has already passed a law to make sure they can never be held responsible if they fail to properly protect that data on their end.

Oh don't forget, they don't mind at all if the providers give them MORE than they ask for, volunarily. Nothing weird about that, I'm sure that explicitly stated and intentionally placed soft spot will never be misused. They are going to take all this data, and shove it into an LLM and then god-knows-what.

I guess now I get serious about I2P and other options to move my activity off the surface web, given that VPNs will be pointless now. And so I need to think about what of my online activity that I can accept the government collecting, understanding that they WILL misuse it and fail to protect it.

I hope Proton goes big-brain and uses that 'voluntary data' loop-hole to pollute the data of whatever it is forced to share.

Cloudflare: Why I left lemmy.world to join another instance

Reply in thread

Cloudflare is the SSL/TLS endpoint between you and the application.

When you use Cloudflare, data is encrypted between a client and Cloudflare (using 'their' SSL cert), they unencrypt it and inspect so they can process it, caching etc, then it' can be encrypted between Cloudflare and the backend using your own backend certificate.

So Cloudflare can see everything, its required for them to do what they do

Cloudflare: Why I left lemmy.world to join another instance

Reply in thread

Oh, you definitely got why I'm against Cloudflare..

Cloudflare has bot-mitigation built in, sure. So why would someone Anubis between their app and Cloudflare as it fulfills it's reverese proxy role, idk. It seemed like that person was trying to explain to me where Anubis was supposed to fit in sequence here. It's meant for the reverse proxy scenarios specificed in the example (nginx, Caddy, and others)

You are also correct. The "free" DDoS mitigation is an irrelevant argument against the privacy implications of using Cloudflare. Cloudflare isn't the only DDoS mitigation option.

What's your memory like?

Reply in thread

Yeah this it.

I don't remember events unless they are emotionally charged. My wife hates that I forget the things she tells me.

I don't really even remember TV shows or movies for very long. I don't mind that because I can rewatch my favourites and re-enjoy them.

I used to be able to remember hundreds of unique complex passwords for my different accounts; I remember facts, figures and technical details easily and permanently.
