Cable management: are they plugged in? Yes? Ok, great, now it’s time to use the device!

So it’s going to get bought out by Microsoft and replaced with a shitty electron app?

Silly human, reddit was just the platform. All of the behaviours were human. Lemmy is just better because it’s decentralized, so if the admins go authoritarian or corrupt, you can just move to another instance where they don’t have power.

I wonder if early reddit had people replying similarly about it not being digg.

It took me a couple of tries to get into it but it gets so good. Between BB and BCS, I think BCS is the better of the two shows, but it does start a lot slower.

Don’t tell me stopped it right at 24 hours. It starts falling at 24:00:03!

Holy shit I think with the joke, irony, and the two of you, I might be able to put some sort of perpetual motion machine together! Now I just need some investors…

Yeah, if someone can’t help but destroy objects around them or punch holes in walls, I wonder how many bad days or situation escalations they are from targeting a person instead of an object. Rage isn’t a pressure vessel that needs pressure to be released in the form of violence, rather your mind is something you train habits into, meaning you’re training yourself to react to frustration with violence.

Not to mention it never helps anything. You mentioned the feelings of shame, but there’s also more direct consequences of destroying things that happen to be in reach. There was a bash quote from someone who had to print a school paper or something and got so frustrated when they couldn’t access the file that they threw their printer (or something essential to what they needed to do) out of their high storey window in frustration. They were lucky they didn’t accidentally kill someone in the process, and then had a new real problem of not having equipment they needed once they realized the disc or whatever the file was on was sitting on their desk instead of inserted for reading. Or videos of kids getting gamer rage and destroying their keyboards or monitors. That will just make it harder to stop being pissed off because now they need to spend money to get back to where they just were (and were already unhappy about).

Though I do feel differently about object destruction not done in the heat of the moment. Like the printer scene from Office Space or getting enjoyment from demolishing a room before renovating it. It’s a deliberate choice, which doesn’t imply they might fly off the handle and do who knows what.

I’ve recently started reading a bunch and have mangas and manwhas I like, but the manhua I’ve tried so far was too heavy on the propaganda for my tastes. I’m not sure if that was specific to the one I was reading or if the CCP requires all art to be pro Chinese nationalist and imperialist.

My top mangas:
Hunter x Hunter (keeps going where the anime stopped, though it doesn’t finish the story and I’m not sure it ever will)
Dandadan (holy shit this one is so good, goes way past the one season of anime, which is very faithful to the manga, it’s still ongoing with weekly updates)

My top manwhas:
Hero Killer (I love the characters and art, though the action and story can be difficult to follow)
A Returner’s Magic Should be Special (this one is the first one I found after deciding I wanted to read a completed story and it delivered)
Solo Levelling (this one’s pretty fun, especially early on)

And the manhua I started but gave up on:
Way to be the Evil Emperor (some speculated in the comments that the CCP friendly stuff was to gain some leeway with the rest of the story but it was just too overt for me to enjoy. And the writing isn’t that great outside of the propaganda, too. The art was good though)

Technical analysis is where gambler’s fallacy meets self-fulfilling prophecy. Though other forces are also in play.

Not hating on VR but it’s still a far cry from a holodeck.

I mean, that image is pretty rude, too.

What’s stored is hash(password). Then the password check is stored == hash(entered).

Hash(x) will be the same length, regardless of what x is. What that length is depends on which hash function it is. So the database can set the length of its storage for each user’s password to the length of the hash and the hash function will take any size password.

Until they remove checking that reg key from all versions other than maybe enterprise. If they decide that running windows requires an MS online account, they can keep bumping up the difficulty of running it without whenever they want.

Which suggests to me that MS stores plaintext passwords. Because a hash function doesn’t care about the length of what it’s hashing, the output will always be the same length, so they could verify a 300 character password with the same storage space as a 3 character password.

Netflix, if you’re paying any attention here, there will be no raising prices to drive me to the ad tier. Either the ad free version is worth it or I’ll continue my life without Netflix. I’ll never go back to the cable ad experience.
