I really don't enjoy Linus' content without context I have to admit.

He was an absolute dipshit back then and he's one of the few people I've read about who not only acknowledged that but also put effort into changing it - and succeeded.

Yeah the newer mails are not as funny to third parties anymore but I'm really happy for him and especially the kernel devs around him.

There's a xkcd for that of course! Linking directly to the explain as it has more info but the important thing is: password guidelines tricked humans into thinking in a machine way about safe passwords but long pass phrases are more secure from an entropy point of view and way easier to remember!

Just to herd a warning then from a Dev perspective: you want to remove them before interacting, not just opening.

I can send files without ever opening them and the sharing would keep the meta data if you'd not open the files manually with the cleanup tool.

Personally I've had a camera app a while back that I could configure which meta data it saved but I simply stopped sharing photos on social media and so this become s non issue for me :)

Honestly I find myself in your text a bit so perhaps I'm projecting:

If it's purely for specs than the other poster is right. You won't get bottlenecked with RAM even at 32GB. So if you're being capped now and short on cash just upgr to 32GB and future proof when the future is closer around the corner.

But to me it sounds like you might just want s complete upgrade and are now looking for a reason (that's the potential projection part :p). If that's the case then check your budget and go for it - but don't try to sugar coat it: the reasonable path is to do the smallest upgrade step possible that fullfils your needs!

DHL. Fucking DHL. Not sure if it fits your question but I got triggered badly here.

They removed all forms of contact except WhatsApp and their shitty z broken chat bot. If there is ever a use case for LLM than this is it. But they use s system that can either sell you stamps or breaks.

Oh but you can call them. Do you can talk to there chat bot. Once you've broken it enough for it to grant an audience with a human being the connection drops.

I very rarely get worked up by broken systems but someone else chose to use this shit shoe and I'm now imprisoned in their web of bullshit.

Oh yeah I see...

As some old philosopher once said: "shit's fucked, yo".

Seems to be appropriate here.

Because a security engineer focused on cloud would rightfully say "pod security is not my issue, I'm focused on protecting the rest of our world from each pod itself.". With AWS as example: If they then analyze the IAM role structures and to deep into where the pod runs (e.g. shared ec2 vs eks) etc. then it would just be a matter of different focus.

Cloud security is focused on the infrastructure - looks like you're looking for a security engineer focused on the dev side.

If they bring neither to the table then I'm with you - but I don't see how "the cloud" is at fault here... especially for security the world as full of "following the script" people long before cloud was a thing.

Spannend!

Wenn ich das richtig lese zahlen Selbstständige allerdings hier mit zu den atypischen ("einer der Bedingungen nicht erfüllt" und "muss in einem unbefristeten Angestelltenverhältnis sein").

Wäre schöner, Unternehmer und Selbständige raus zu nehmen, denn diese Gruppe hat nicht die Problematik, der "atypischen" Gruppe wir im Artikel beschrieben.

Bitte korrigiert mich,falls ich da einen Denkfehler habe.

I see two ways forward: either you're risk averse and assume internal damages that will highly influence heat transfer or you trust in the automatic protection mechanisms or your CPU.

Personally I'd toss it but I'm old and I've burned more than one CPU back in the days with faulty or wrongly installed coolers.

I don't think that the risk is high nowadays but I'm (literally) burned in that regard.

I'm not even sure it would survive bending back so perhaps try that first and if it breaks completely you don't even have a decision on your hand :)

Oh I think I see the misunderstanding, thanks for your answer!

I had no specific technology or even "social media in my mind at all when writing my first post. Instead I tried to convey my personal preference on the scale "absolute transparency" to "absolute privacy" for the specific case of "seeing who votes in which direction from user about users".

I completely agree with your statement "don't treat it differently because of underlying tech decisions".

For me the answer to the privacy question depends on the specific use case (and who provides/ controls it).

And to answer your question: I only try to describe "my" wishes, not how I think fedi developers see the situation.

I have to be very clear: That's simply wrong and I have no idea how you come to the conclusion that my statement was Lemmy /Fedi specific in any way...

All other social media do have this information and just don't provide it to their end users.

My take for how I read this specific case (public communication/information platform) is: Either full anonymity or pseudonymous transparency.

For other cases I'd even argue for personal linked transparency. For others I'd be against having behavioral transparency and would prioritize privacy even higher.

"Social media" as umbrella term is btw too broad for me personally to say "they should do X"

That's the balance though: privacy is the antagonist of transparency in its nature.

And that's w good thing in my opinion because this discussion is depending on the subject and not an ultimate right or wrong.

For the specific topic I actually value the transparency more than my personal privacy because it makes manipulation of opinion more transparent.

It's a question of effort. Sony has a shitload of public presence. For social engineering I can learn many mid level manager names from LinkedIn for example and their infrastructure is necessarily public facing to allow people to work there.

And that's not talking about their public web presence and services.

And now we'll switch to ... You! If I'd try to target you I would have to first find anything from you to actually target.

Once I have your phone number, public IP or anything that gives me a lead I have to find my way in. And that way in will be because you've made a mistake, are lax with your passwords or use an out of date service.

But that's like 2/3 of the work I had for Sony as well. And now I see that you're a student with a net fortune of 50$ and a car from 1989.

To out it another way: for companies I aim with s rifle as they are a worthy prey. For individual people I use a shotgun and hope something hits something.

Whaaaaaaasaaaa

I have no idea how I've missed that y today I'm over of the lucky 10,000 I assume. Thanks!

The concept of length is way older than these definitions, same for weight and so on.

The meter is an awesome example for what I mean: the 1/1000000 wasn't random. From my understanding it won over the alternatives in dezimal because of it's relative closeness to an arms length and the definition was used to remove issues in France because of the (metric) fuckton of different measurements for length.

And the second example of yours is even better describing what I meant: it's just making sense and is practical not a deep scientific reasoning.

And I won't bliebe that the foot and inch was conceived by anyone who has a scientific approach.

To be clear: you're right that basically by definition the units were done by professionals. I try to point out that for the more broader used units practical aspects were at least as important (after all it wasn't a square meter that was used for the gram but a centi of one).

This is a proposal. Why does the article write as if it's a fact?

You sent me down a freaking rabbit hole, thanks! :)

From what I found is that there is the simple reason that the weird ones are distance, time and weight - the rest I looked into are based on formal non-normalized definitions (including lumen, which surprised me).

My guess is that in depends on where the unit comes from: science or day to day use.

I learned about the Siemens, the Weber and the Gray on the way.

Thanks again!

All the claims concerning telemetry in that thread are made by the person "asking" the question.

I don't understand the intent of this post. It looks like you're trying to start a rumor to be honest.

Telemetry in Thunderbird exists and is well documented. If someone is not happy with their engine or approach they need to switch clients and not basically tell them "I want you to rebuild everything around my nerds".

War es noch nie? Was soll denn das Verbrechen sein?

Ich denke an hundert schlechte Videospiele, Windows 3.0 rc1, win95a, Norton Commander die erste Version um Mal ein paar Beispiele aus sehr frühen Zeiten zu nennen.

Auch physische Produkte gibt es zu hauf (vom ersten E Autos von Nissan bis hin zu dem personal assistant pin).

Kickstarter hat das sogar noch konsequenter, da allerdings für die Sponsoren (nicht: Kunden) transparenter.

Ich verstehe, dass viele das kacke finden aber da den Ruf nach Gesetzgeber ist sehr ... Deutsch. Man kann die Dinger ja sogar einfach kostenlos testen und selbst fest stellen, ob das was für den eigenen Anwendungsfall ist.

Das Thema hier wurde ja sogar komplett von einem dieser Firmen untersucht und veröffentlicht...

Not the OP so their point of view might differ.

I've only seen LLM and ADHD connected via writing / homework tasks. Perhaps that's the same link OP thought of.

And the txt in the image is anyway just an aggressive individual opinion. I don't get the logic of "I don't want or use this so no one is allowed to see it as beneficial".
