Every generation uses old slang they mistakenly believe they invented.

Having read the paper, there seems to be a glaring problem: Even though the user can't tell an attacker the password, nothing is stopping them from demonstrating the password. It doesn't matter if it's an interactive sequence -- the user is going to remember enough detail to describe the "prompts".

A rubber hose and a little time will get enough information to make a "close enough" mock-up of the password entry interface the trusted user can use to reveal the password.

You're right: nobody is entitled to your vote.

That being said, everyone else has the right to judge and comment on your choice and justification of it.

And the fucked up thing is that the "shower rape" prison is more humane than the "Control Unit" at ADX Florence.

I'm fairly certain these people are trolling.

I mean ... they're still cats with cat brains -- you're not going to be having deep conversations with them.

The vast majority of their language is body language and you can figure out what they're "saying" by just looking at them. Also, they're cats: even if they know what you're trying to say if it's something they don't like they won't care.

Which is dumb, because there's nothing stopping anyone from replacing the seals/glue when they put it back together. And at least in the USA manufactures have been covered for damages/harm resulting from a flawed consumer-based repair since since 1975.

The great irony is it's frequently the "ductwork" that's the problem: plugged or badly installed exhaust pipes, which the manufacture has no control over. The rest are the appliance itself wearing out or failing with no warning.

I've repaired furnaces myself several times including replacing burners and exhaust fans -- it isn't rocket science. It's no different than working on any other "dangerous" thing like a car. If someone somehow manages to fuck up so badly it hurts or kills someone that's on them.

People missing the fact this comic is using humor and hyperbole to make a point about the things that make us miserable.

Accelerationists come in two flavors: bad actors and morons.

Lemmy has a fair number of loud, toxic instances, communities, and users. On the other hand, it's easy to block all of them, and it's practically a requirement to enjoy lemmy.

So block with zero hesitation -- the only people that will give you crap about it are the people that are the problem in the first place.

old.reddit.com still works ... for now. I deleted my account, but there's still a few writers on reddit I follow.
