Would or is also a really good way to sniff WiFi passwords. If anybody says “Well yes, I am indeed $HOME_NETWORK_NAME” your phone just hands them the password.

okay that’s very untrue… wifi passwords aren’t really passwords; more accurately they’re pre-shared keys… they are used to generate the encryption parameters used to talk to the AP. the password is never sent over the air, and there’s a 4-way handshake

who says there needs to be 3 branches? add a 4th… having a partisan DOJ makes the judicial basically powerless

i think they’re 2 different, but equally important things to protect against

shit companies using your information is almost guaranteed so you want to protect against that, but FDE does nothing for that

but losing your laptop with an unprotected disk can be catastrophic for your life… your entire browser session (so probably your email, and therefor password resets and confirmations), any cloud (or self hosted storage with saved credentials) storage that you have… idk about you, but the contents of my disk are plenty to steal my identity even without needing to social engineer, and with my email and other bits of info that’s plenty to social engineer probably anything up to and including a passport

training an LLM on chats might make you feel dirty, but an unencrypted disk can ruin your life for years and cause problems potentially forever

remember when trump ripped obamacare to shreds and said their replacement was weeks away?

idk if i were a billionaire i wouldn’t want the economy as wildly fucked as it is and i’d be pretty keen on cheap exploitable immigrants

i really don’t understand what they’re going for

Economist Robert Schiller has proposed a similar idea where we set up a reactive economic policy to execute automatically when some measures of inequality (e.g. the Gini coefficient) rise above a predefined level.

we do it in australia and it works great… tied to CPI

Reminds me of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

exactly where i got the idea!

yall need more laws that are based on dynamic countering of negative forces

ie minimum wage should adjust yearly with inflation…

in this case, states that are against gerrymandering should form a pact to nullify its effects: if another state gerrymanders, between them they must gerrymander opposite to at least the same magnitude. if enough states get on board, gerrymandering is done

it’s possible to measure gerrymandering, and states know that it’s in their best interest to stop another state from doing it. the only thing that’s needed is inter-state cooperation

this has little to do with campaigning for newsom… it’s about supporting the counter to republican gerrymandering

you might be right in general, but this is not that context

corpos aren’t who you’re protecting against with encrypted drives… they’re not going to gain access to anything via bypassing your OS: they get everything via software you’ve installed or things like tracking

the main thing you’re protecting against with encryption is theft (or if you think you’re being physically targeted, it also stops them from modifying your system… eg replacing your kernel or a binary that gives them access somehow)

vance has the appeal of a well fucked couch

na… she’s an opportunist… coconuts have no role in this shit show. she will follow the populist winds to oblivion

also i’m going with the webmd fallacy… it’s new; im coining it now; i think you know what i mean

Don’t ask for me to help pay for care for others when I can’t afford care myself. Until I can receive care too, my answer to paying for others’ care is solidly no.

yknow the point of single payer is that it becomes cheaper for everyone because you all of a sudden have bargaining power… right?

you could afford healthcare if you contributed to a big pool that paid for everyone… and more importantly, set the prices of care however they damn well please

single payer is like a union, but far more powerful because it’s a monopoly (and a monopoly that’s actually good because it’s for the benefit of all)

hey now don’t rip my half life 3 nugget of hope from me like that

BRICS is in many ways a relationship of convenience… there are too many competing interests to truly make a whole currency the global reserve

doesn’t look like voyager, but you can do it in voyager

basically the way it works in australia… the budget is considered a test of confidence

if the government can’t pass a budget, the PM has 2 choices: resign or call an election

if they refuse to do either of these things, the governor general can step in and dismiss them, in which case an intermediary government is appointed and elections are called ASAP

if you can’t perform the most basic function of governing, you sure as shit can’t do anything new and deal with issues as they arise

in global shipping, closeness actually doesn’t make things necessarily more eco friendly: when you have 100 ships full of cargo heading from china to the US, they’ve got to return too… either they return full of something, or nothing

i’m not sure how it all works out in this case, but slowly moving things from the US to asia is practically free, in pretty much all regards

which they handled about as well as you can: prompt and clear notification without trying to pass the buck

the potential of a data breach is just a fact of life with any SAAS product - bugs happen… and it’s exactly the SAAS part of the product that makes the invites/login/aggregation of servers so smooth

there are some admin endpoints that are authenticated using any local IP, but the method they use allows spoofing the IP so those endpoints become accessible essentially without authentication

there were some other issues to do with unauthenticated enumeration and playback of content i believe too
