I created an account on a hosted service we use at work the other day, my password had to be exactly 12 characters. No more no less.

He was originally fleeing rape charges in Sweden so yeah, he still would have had to hide.

And serial rapist, let’s not forget that

I haven’t met a Linux user that would consider leaving the factory installed OS instead of immediately blowing it out and installing their own

That’s a great idea

I’ve never been in a spray paint section at a store where people hadn’t opened the cans and painted all over everything. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

That’s not an effective metric because you don’t know the network speed of the host that the user was downloading from. It’s impossible to tell if the network is slow, or the site they visited was throttled to .5mb. speed tests work because the server you’re downloading from is a known entity

Good idea on theory but it would have to constantly be doing speed tests in the background and those eat up a ton of bandwidth. All the phone knows is what kind of network it’s connected to and what kind of signal strength it has

Nobody’s violating your rights by publishing an update to the software they provide. If you don’t like it android gives you an option to freeze apps at a particular version. You can let go of your pearls now.

You would not. In the example given 169.254.1.1 doesn’t even exist, no machine is listening on that address so it couldn’t possibly do any good if it wanted to

Setting the default gateway is unnecessary for a network of peers that are already on the subnet. It can only lead to problems as the hosts try to send every request outside their network to 169.254.1.1, which doesn’t even exist in this scenario

The poster you’re replying to is suggesting a static IP in the apipa range, not an apipa assigned ip. You’d already know a static IP because you set it yourself.

The “old internet” hasn’t gone away. It’s easier than ever for your average person to set up their own website. Look at all the shit you can do with WordPress, usually for free and usually with minimal technical knowledge or experience. Reddit/Facebook/Google/etc have done nothing at all to prevent people from doing that. The people still choose reddit/Facebook/google. I don’t know we’re supposed to change that without actually removing people’s freedom of choice.

Tesla could get away with musks behavior if the product was good. It’s not, it’s overpriced and regularly scores amongst the lowest in reliability and build quality.

I can’t imagine why lol

My guess is sociopathy. Same with politicians.

The psychopathy. This isn’t unique to CEOs, it applies to nearly anyone in a position of power since the dawn of time.

Sure they do. I can make whatever criticisms of the government that I want and they can’t prosecute me for it. Look how Russia and China handle online criticism.

It was a server for an irl streamer so I expected it to be toxic. I did not expect that level of toxicity. A bunch of untreated sociopaths.
