The Cuuuuube

Do you… Actually think that’s what the right wing wants to tear down the US to do? Because it isn’t. Not even a little. They want to plunge the world into fire

Only reason I unblocked them was in case I needed to refute their claims anywhere. Suffice to say though, for anyone reading this, a good rule of thumb is if Possibly Linux says it, decent chance its untrue

Sure yeah. I think corpos suck, too. That’s why I don’t prefer 1password. But Firefox puts their passwords into a file, too (two actually). Key3.db and Logins.json, both with known locations, and encrypted using AES-256-GCM which is… Decent but I prefer to go a little more hardened. The thing with keepass is the following:

1. Its open source, no corpo
2. The file encryption you select can be as hardened as you want
3. No one but you need know the location of your file
4. It offers 2fa which Firefox password manager doesn’t
5. Firefox password manager is more susceptible to social engineering attacks is mainly what I was worried about but it seems like you’ve got a good handle on it.
6. You don’t have to integrate keepass with the browser to use it

But I want to make it abundantly clear. @Dyskolos@lemmy.zip has not recommended storing your passwords in a file. They have suggested storing your passwords in a mechanism that can be as secure as your hardware is capable of securing and keeping the location of that up to your own decision making.

But also. Promise me this. If you’re going to keep using Firefox as your password manager:

1. Don’t use sync. That’s run by Firefox’s corporate arm, Mozilla PBC
2. Use a primary password of at least 32 characters
3. Consider rotating your password on a regular interval, like on your birthday

Cover the G logo with a pop socket or some shit. No one will give enough of a shit to desire your phone. Buying used always denies OEMs sales so its always good to buy used

Super cool that new privates headed to Iraq weren’t alive when that particular conflict started. Super cooool

Using the internet without an adblocker is genuinely dangerous. Everyone really should be using uBlock Origin. Using a web browser that prevents uBlock Origin puts you in danger

In-built password managers for browsers are straightforward to crack. Like… Terrifyingly easy. It’s much better to use something like Bitwarden, Vaultwarden if you don’t trust Bitwarden, 1Password if you really want the reassurance of paying someone for trust, or KeePass if you don’t trust anyone at all (I, personally, fit into this category).

So. In pornography you’ll have a thumbnail that’s focused on what gets people intrigued to see a model perform, the face. This church is using a thumbnail for their ad that looks SHOCKINGLY like a porn promo thumbnail. Reason being sex sells

Duuuude American mega-churches are PURELY profit oriented

Hardware specs were too constrained for regular daily use. The software updates are always way behind schedule, and the company is too small to support their warranty (I really do think they’re doing their best to do what’s right, but they’re just super slow on turnaround for support)

I only know about Fairphone and Teracube. Having owned a Teracube I recommend not getting a Teracube

I’ve recently gotten good at DCSS to consistently gather a few runes. Still haven’t had an orb run. I don’t want to talk about how long I been playing the game…

100%. We all play the game because if we don’t we die. The metaphor you see all the time is that the reason were all swimming in this sea of capitalism is because if we don’t we drown. Our participation is not representative of consent I don’t really know what we do in the short and medium term but long term we need to kill capitalism

Do you have an open community space nearby? Maybe you could grab some crappy instruments from reverb and invite walk-ons to just join in. I’ve been surprised in the past how much people who complain about something end up liking the thing they complain about once invited to join in

Realize that all forms of currency are ultimately a grift to allow a class of violent weirdos to claim ownership over the fruits of our labor and that we could actually just share things with each other without commerce

I’ve been thinking lately about the industrialization of music. Used to be before the gramophone you’d play music in your house. Sometimes you’d be bad. And everyone was fine with it. We just did it to enjoy it. Sometimes you and your neighbors would go to that one barn everyone was gathering in where the best musicians in town would play. They were your neighbors and friends. But now we don’t know our musicians. We don’t make music. We just consume it. I think we need to reclaim music. I think everyone should download DAWs and just… Fucking… Suck. And share their suck with friends and family. What you produce doesn’t have to be polished, or good, it just needs to be tour own.

There’s people in this thread saying “well then I’m gonna write in a socialist”

This isn’t whataboutism, this is actual existential threat to this country and the stability of all the countries we send our military to. Kamala Harris’ comments on the anti-genocide protest are wholly unacceptable and present the overall message as Pro-HAMAS, which it distinctly isn’t, but we do still have to think about which piece of shit benefits most from writing in someone who cannot win in a first past the post election

Pepsi is literally no better. They do all the same shit and are in bed with Putin

Mate we’re extremely in debt trying to get Iraq and Iran to bend the knee like all the other countries we’ve imperialized and not only is it not working, it looks like its never going to work. In the 1950s we held 50% of the worlds wealth. Not only will there be a decline in the near future, the decline has been going on for 30 years
