You mean dilute attention. By forcing people onto a megathread, no one can keep track of a single discussion. Creating new threads is what literally allows for focused discussions. Do you seriously not realize this or is it malicious?

Already a couple days into lemmy and I see mods abusing their power to lock threads. Fucking sigh.

Accurate rule

Would love to see how this meme would look if democrat presidents ever got a democrat majority... You know... Like republicans keep getting thanks to voter suppression and gerrymandering.

Time it takes to brute force your password

Why is any amount of years in thousands not green? The matrix is skewed towards orange and red to make it seem riskier. This is a biased graph.

Not to mention the computer specs needed to crack these passwords are not mentioned. A "hacker" still needs libraries of their own to crack anything, which might find the password or might not, and no method is instant.

The ways to crack, at least with brute force, mean it's iterative. You either start with the most common combinations of all numbers or all letters, and then move incrementally. Then start mixing. There are so many combinations that nothing is ever instant.
