What should I change?
For passwords, you can use the same KeepassXC database on multiple devices. It's encrypted, and you can have the passphrase file locally on multiple devices, and the cloud provider cannot access it even by brute forcing. The database itself would not be reliant on the cloud service, you can easily switch between any provider (I currently use dropbox)

Arch Linux
You can break anything quite easily on arch if you don't know what you're doing, including security.

If you can figure out Linux, you can definitely use KeepassXC...

What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?
Krita. I had a uni licence for Photoshop for years, even took a Photoshop course but still kept using Krita. It has an intuitive UI and all the tools I'll ever need.
RStudio+R is way better than any of its proprietary alternatives.
Blender. I'm no 3D modling expert but it does everything I as a hobbyist want to do with it and so much more. Nowadays, the UI is pretty decent, too.
Finally, the Lagrange browser is really good. The gemini protocol is kinda niche though, but if you're interested it's unreasonably pretty, well optimized and has a great UX. The guy who maintains it really puts his heart and soul into it.

IDK man, the people with no or few friends tend to be weird but not really bad in any meaningful way: socially awkward, shy, odd interests, neurodivergent etc. Difficult to get to know, plain and simple. People with a lot of friends are often worse people, manipulative and/or have a transactional attitude to relationships

60% of MD5 password hashes are crackable in under an hour
Passwords should be paired with a second factor, preferably biometric, said Gunner, because it’s the most difficult for hackers to bypass.
I think this is a pretty naive risk analysis. Hackers cracking my lemmy password is the least of my concerns. Having my biometric data leaked is one of my highest ones.

Insane to start the plot at 45k. The rate of decline is rather minimal

The left really needs to get more proficient with using AI. The IQ benefits alone are staggering.
The use of LLM had a measurable impact on participants, and while the benefits were initially apparent, as we demonstrated over the course of 4 months, the LLM group's participants performed worse than their counterparts in the Brain-only group at all levels: neural, linguistic, scoring.

There was this one study that found that people have significantly fewer close friends than 30 years ago, and for men, the change was larger. I would call that a loneliness epidemic.

The difference in intent makes sense. The difference in primary function does not, killing a person with a kitchen knife is no better than with a gun.
The problem with car accidents is that it’s difficult to know the intent of a person, especially carelessness kills a lot more people via cars than via kitchen knifes, and we can’t know for sure when it was an honest mistake by the driver.
