Wait, bus drivers don’t get drug tested?

This has been the case for decades, why would it change now?

Correction: power users, such as the type on Lemmy, trend towards hating ai. That is by no means “all users” by any stretch of the term.

Yes, but one of those things is capable of a lot more damage in a much shorter amount of time.

You’ll also have a hard time knifing people from a window with a wide vantage point.

Knives are dangerous, and evil people will be evil. But should we just hand out rocket launchers on the side of the road because knives exist?

It’s an absurd suggestion, obviously. So is “knives exist so guns are fine.”

This isn’t the flex you think it is.

USB C does not require all applications use all aspects available in the current spec (USB 3), that’s just silly. Take the latest iPhone for example (not the pro series,) they are all essentially running USB 2 through a USB C cable. And that’s perfectly fine.

The real problem is when a company uses USB C but follows none of the wiring or standards requirements for any standard. Such as running power over data pins making the charger some proprietary Frankenstein of bullshit.

Whomthes?

I think we’re just all excited to be penetrated.

I think it very much depends on the situation. If I’m already securely housed and have reliable income for food? No fucking way. If I have a kid who might end up living on the street (or honestly, taken from me by the state) if I don’t find money? I’d at least give this a fleeting thought.

So one understood the assignment.

I mean, one compromised account leading to a massive influx of spam is a legitimate concern.

You can’t always assume “happy path”.

“How to disable this opt in feature”: “don’t turn it on”

I get that Lemmy is a bastion for M$ hate but FUD articles get annoying.

To be fair, one of those is much, much easier to remember. Honestly I don’t even know how to pronounce verisimilitude.

Hell, you can buy with cash. Walk to a local big box store and buy a steam wallet/gift card. That is assuming you live somewhere that has that option, of course.

Online, usually. Though you can technically use debit in some places.

I get the sentiment but nothing would come from such a report. You’d be better off working to shame them socially.

You can virtually never know when you are talking directly to the server.

Y2K wasn’t overhyped. It was just successfully planned for. This reeks of the paradox of IT. “Everything is broken, what do you even do” vs “nothing is broken, what do you even do?”

To be fair, icon theming was terrible in most previous betas too. I highly doubt they are focusing on that aspect pretty hard in the dev betas.
