I’d bet money that right now Putin is laughing maniacally as his goons download terabytes of US national security secrets.

Because fascism doesn’t have any consistent political or ideological principles other than doing whatever keeps and increases their power over people. Everything else is optional and logic is outright discouraged.

Healthy and vaccinated people might see less than 3 days of very mild symptoms, if they notice at all.

Some would say that is actually a pro, not a con. You don’t want your entire digital life tied to the whims of a single corporation. Fragmentation trades a bit of inconvenience for a ton more privacy and control over your digital presence.

Oh dear lord, no. That’s absolutely wrong. Stop panicking and read.

Two apps on the same device is still the same place. Same app but on different devices is different places.

Multi device. If you have more than one device with your vault configured and protected with MFA then the risk of locking yourself out of the account drops logarithmically with each additional device.

They have different threat models. If they don’t have a PC, they most likely don’t and never will have bitwarden. They’ll let apple or Samsung or Google handle their security for them. In the end, we all accept some level of risks across different threat dimensions. Some people are more lax and some people are more strict. It’s not the end of the world.

This is not the end of the world, some mighty overreaction on the comments. This is why diversity is the answer to security. Multi factor, multi mode, multi device. Something you know, something you have, something you are, etc.

If you have more than one device, like PCs, laptop, phone, in any combination, and you have your access config on all. Then there’s an infinitesimally small chance you’d lose access to your vault.

I’m here to make my traditional “Rossmann needs an editor” comment. Whenever one of his videos become popular.

He’s a trove of useful information but he also rants unhinged and is sometimes unintelligible on what point he is trying to make. Which hurts the effectiveness of his communications.

He was never a hero.

Apple tried to adapt Asimov’s Foundation with mixed results. I think something small and approachable like Player of Games or Consider Phlebas does for a nice action flick with philosophical underpinnings if taken by a good screewriter.

Sure, all those things could be argued to some degree or another. Just don’t call people cancer. Throwing insults devalues your argument.

Hmm, GNOME pays developers. There’s a team of full time employees steering GNOME, and staff. Sure they are a non-profit, but it’s a bit romanticizing to claim that they are doing all that work for free. I don’t think it is very nice or productive to call people names and gatekeeping FOSS this way. There’s such a thing as customization. It’s fine that GNOME is very opinionated (everyone accepts that they are and the project lead has said so time and time again that user choice is not part of their focus). But, at the same time, it’s not their project, there’s a complex governance structure that involves the community. It’s contradictory to speak this way about a component of a Linux distro. Linux is philosophically underlined by freedom of choice and personal customization, and it’s inappropriate to insult people for wanting some more of that.

Also Microsoft: If you ever try to leave us we will delete all of your data on all of your devices. We might even do it at random just for fun…No, we won’t warn you.

It’s disingenuous to say, “oh it’s exactly the same phone”. It’s a narrow interpretation of “it’s the same design language and nothing revolutionary”. But compared to the S23 it’s a massive power overhaul on the processor. It has 12GB of ram. The screen is top notch LTPO, which the S23 didn’t have. The cameras are way improved, it can film 8K, which the S23 couldn’t. It has the toughest Gorilla screen to date. Sure, the changes year after year are nothing to write home about. But small incremental changes stack over time. The average person is keeping phones for 3 or more years. Compared to an S22 or S21, it’s a beast upgrade. I think those are the people they are marketing to, and it’s smart, no one sane is buying a new phone every single year and a lot of people value a new device over a refurbished or used one.

There’s a mild reaction from media because media conglomerates are on board with the plan. Commentators made up the autistic apology immediately on the spot, because they’re ableist and assholes themselves.

It’s like media excusing sexual predators because they had a rough life growing up gay and similar excuses. It’s a double whammy, excusing the offender in the public light while simultaneously demonizing a minority. It’s a playbook neo fascist move.

This is the weirdest homophobic and also misogynistic take I’ve read. You took “I’ve got nothing against the gays, but…” to a new deranged level.

Honesty here. The autistic argument is really offensive to people with autism, I asked a friend with high functioning autism about his opinion. It mistreats the condition to transform it into a political scapegoat. It misrepresents what autism is. Elon is not autistic, he’s is just a narcissist and always high on ketamine. I’ve met dozens of autistic persons, and not even once has anyone ever done the Nazi salute on accident, not even on highly euphoric social events. To suggest the autistic apology makes the person mentioning it sound awfully ableist and like an asshole. I suggest you don’t ever mention it out loud to anyone ever again. It’s insidious and dehumanizing against people with cognitive issues.

Well, so much for ditching the R-slur from his vocabulary. It’s like everything Linus says is in bad faith. What a douchebag. And also texting while driving, class A shit-4-brains specimen.
