Saying you don't need privacy because you have nothing to hide is the same as saying you don't need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say

Looks like they need to learn a thing or two about integration tests, redundancy, and fail-overs.

A software update didn't take it down. Negligence did. You should wonder why it doesn't work before you ship to production.

If Trump and Biden are the leading candidates, and you vote third-party, then not only will your vote not contribute to a candidate winning, but you're helping the opposing party win.

Thank you for sharing your point of view, and I and support your decision. From my life experiences with other people and giving kindness and empathy years of thought on this subject, I have a slightly different point of view. I really appreciate how we can discuss this and grow as people.

Huh, this is a great point. I haven't thought about that.

Exactly. Just be responsible and don't do anything dumb with your security. Do the typical stuff right like using a password manager and updating your software often. With your programming, don't skip ssl validation, don't have unauthenticated connections that matter, don't shell out, etc. On your local system, use permissions correctly, keep a local firewall, and all that good stuff. You should be fine, but it's never 100%.

You shouldn't remember your passwords, if you know what I mean

Everyone that neglects to use a password manager, smash that down-vote button

Came here to say this. fwupd is so good, it's almost magic, and good vendors will actually support it themselves.

He was directly involved with putting together a team to create a false certificate that said he won the 2020 presidential election.

Ain't Lemmy great?

The more I use it, the less I like it. For some reason, it feels like a majority of the people here are already angry and argumentative, and they are happy to snap and make me their current problem.

The hive mind aspect is also ~5x worse than Reddit. People love to cover their ears here, even in constructive conversations. It's a real shame.
