Looks like you haven’t done a lot of research. That’s okay! There are many, many recorded cases of long COVID that existed long before the first vaccine was even available. Like between March 2020 and March 2021. If that changes your thought.

Probably, but could just as well be anxious attachment since we don’t have the whole story. I’m on the anxious side and this happens a lot if the other doesn’t show enough interest or is closed off in conversation.

Free respecs in cities or even dual spec is all I want.

Damn this really is a boring dystopia

I love this because I’ve been using Firefox exclusively but miss the style of Opera. Now I have zero reason to go back.

Probably depends on the work and your endurance level. I used to do 12 hour warehouse work Saturday/Sunday over summer vacation in college while I played video games and hung out with friends the rest of the week. It felt freaking amazing. Three days in a row might’ve been pushing it, especially in my later 30s.

But considering I’ve done intense development work for 12 hour sessions over 3-5 days, having had 4 days off instead of 2 would have certainly delayed or prevented my inevitable crash of burnout.

Okay so what I really mean by UBI is the point that humans have successfully created an autonomous supply chain that keeps everyone fed and sheltered. AI has taken the majority of necessary jobs that humans do not wanna do, creating a surplus of resources that (in a utopia) even if 1% is distributed among the population, could be more than enough to keep fediverse software running on a server farm powered by green energy.

I don’t mean some fox news version of UBI that they think just means higher taxes and everyone becoming fat and lazy.

Yeah, this is no different from how every other social media platform operates. Unfortunately it’s just the way these websites make money to stay “free for consumers”.

The only (distant) solution I can see will be the fediverse, paid for by UBI and decreasing server costs (i.e. green energy and tech breakthroughs)

Somebody better put you back into your PLACE

That’s correct, let’s say a database was breached and the hacker has every user and their password hashes. They can login with testuser@email.com with password “password123” and see if the generated hash matches any other user’s password hash. If so, they might be able to hack many accounts with the same password or even reverse engineer and decrypt every other password.

Developers can make the hash more secure by adding arbitrary characters to the password (aka a salt), and this becomes the site’s “authentication algorithm”. But if the hashes are stolen, it may be a matter of time before the algorithm is figured out, which leads to updates, which leads to your pre-existing hash no longer matching.

There could be many reasons they don’t prompt you to change: they meant to send an email but your notification preferences disallowed it, they sent an email and you missed it, they wanted to keep it quiet, they forgot to add the message and ux flow to change password, or they’re incompetent and didn’t know they needed to do that.

The Epic thing I’ve never seen before but that’s definitely incompetence and/or a very weird bug that just slipped past them.

If there were a data breach where a hacker could figure out the encryption algorithm, you don’t want users to reuse an older password because those older passwords could’ve already been cracked.

By the way, this is why you should also never use the same password for every site. If one of your passwords is leaked and linked to a similar username or email, everything is vulnerable. I’ve had this happen before (the Target breach). After that I started using SSO exclusively, with a random 16 char password manager if SSO isn’t an option (crossing my fingers that bitwarden doesn’t get hacked like LastPass)

This’ll happen if there’s been a suspected data breach with poor password encryption or requirements. Gotta be safe and change the algorithm, breaking everyone’s existing passwords. But yeah, it is annoying…

When Elon realizes nobody wants to pay to listen to Elon, will he rollback the changes or start posting on Threads?

Looks like they’ll have to stall the courts until the next election to use those gerrymandered maps. Until the punishment is more than “you have to redraw the map again”, the cheaters will continue to do this.

If a group of people can’t do a simple thing like draw districts to be compliant with already very loose requirements, they should be relieved from that duty or someone else given a turn.

Plus the obvious hiding behind a VPN, which you would be out of your mind not to use if you were doing something this terrible. Or can VPNs snitch in these situations? Anyone know?

The joke is a bit on the line but I think we can all laugh at the misuse of phrase. Let’s just nip it in the butt shall we?

Thats the same reason I gave a really crappy company for leaving too. Not saying it’s the exact same situation, but just wanted to point out that people sometimes lie to protect their place in their profession.

USA mobile carriers have been charging for tethering since devices implemented the tethering feature. Android enforced it through carrier firmware. I don’t remember how apple enforced it.

I remember having to jailbreak all my iPhones so I could get it for free. As iOS started feeling more limited, I bought a galaxy phone from Europe because the international phones didn’t have the carrier firmware.

Then T-Mobile was the first big carrier to offer free tethering - I switched to them from AT&T. And now more carriers are offering free tethering because it’s losing them customers probably.
