They really aren't

You would reuse the same password or use the same password with slight variations. I would also often see passwords written down on sticky notes. People sometimes has different passwords but stores them unencrypted in password.xls or something similarly named.

Thank God for password managers these days. I haven't refused the same password for many years now. I generate three random words with a number and special character for all my passwords.

Germany resumes deportations to Afghanistan

Is every person being sent back a rapist of a 12 year old or are people getting caught up on the system? Either way, I'm all for sending the rapist to prison at our expensive. I don't want to send them back to Afghanistan where they certainly will have no repurcuasions for raping a 12 year old girl. I think rape isn't okay anywhere in the world. I dont support sending immigrants back, because I don't support rape.

Former GM Executive: BYD cars are good in terms of design, features, price, quality. If we let BYD into the U.S. market, it could end up destroying american manufacturers

It's state sponsored capitalism and China has pumped a ton of money into BYD to get them to where they are.

I can see them giving larger tax breaks to companies in the US, but current administration is all in on tariffs as the way to increase our domestic production. It doesn't make ours any better or cheaper, just everything else more expensive.

I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

The need this came out of COVID and a lack of people wanting to go out. It's was a decent way to keep business open who would otherwise have to lay off all their staff. Once COVID ended, I assumed it would go away. However, money talks.

My wife was just saying how she thiks GPS is soon going to have a VIP tier to give you the best routes and the longer routes go to the people who don't pay (but still have their data harvested).

Having a small community is a blessing and a curse. Reddit grew too large of a user base, and the quality of interactions took a significant decline around 2015 or so. I'm hoping Lemmy (and federation in general) can bring back what I found special about Reddit around 2009-2010.

I see some of the issues that Reddit has (one-word or low-effort comments, people not reading the article, atrocious grammar/spelling), but it doesn't seem to be the norm. I've been visiting Lemmy for around a year but have finally decided to stop using Reddit and become active over here.
