Jean-Marie Le Pen, French far-right leader known for fiery rhetoric against immigration, dies at 96 in c/upliftingnews

It might be a positive to a lot of people, but I don't think it belongs in uplifting news. It's a place (at least for me) to get away from all the news about death and terror across the globe

"Huge row erupts" [...] "However, this is no surprise as we knew they had XY chromosomes already" is quite a 180, especially for such a short text. Also, is their body really our collective business?

I am surprised it's called "America's celebrated work ethic" - from my (Dutch) perspective, it's notoriously terribly exploitative and bordering on dystopian for many. Is it true that people celebrate American work practices?!

The article did mention them as "registered", so I don't think this applies.

"Setting up a base in Vietnam" for a US company sounds like slightly painful wording to me..

I'm wondering if it's tied to how status symbols differ per culture. Its been 20 years, but I don't remember status symbols mattering much to my environment when I was a teenager in the Netherlands. I wonder how that is now.

Over 40,000 admin portal accounts use 'admin' as a password in c/technology

[–] keesrif 65 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I find their statements a bit on the sweeping side.

Out of more than 1.8 million administrator credentials analyzed, over 40,000 entries were “admin,” showing that the default password is widely accepted by IT administrators.

That's just over 2 percent. "Widely accepted" in my book is a much larger percentage..
