“Government hates what it can’t control”

tiktok

Lol. Look it sure was authoritarian the specific method used to ban tik tok. But you’re complaining about an authoritarian slap fight.

Of course they do know there are professional agitators at the protests, they’re them.

they’d all have been working somewhere else

… Somewhere else possibly innovating even moreso than where they are…

Because of the flat and nonprofit nature of Lemmy “users pooling money together” is the platform allocating budget.

I’d argue corporations should strive to represent their employees. Corporations don’t deserve to maintain anything, they aren’t people and have no ethical status either.

Nonetheless you’re working double time to make sure the use of ‘reasonable’ with all its connotations is seen as acceptable here. Making sure everyone knows that you think this is normative.

We will not reach a common ground.

Lets be clear, there’s a difference between “reasonable” and “expected behavior” and it’s an important one.

Social engineering is to gain access circumventing downcode, not really “get a head start”…

Most attacks are entirely social engineering. You’re not breaking into secure databases by pulling ridiculous zero day backdoors when it’s much easier to convince an intern to download a file or give you access directly. These super involved attacks are state actors, and no amount of trying to hide what Linux version is being modified will do anything for you there.

State actors of course also use social engineering

Ultimately the point is hacking really doesn’t involve the kind of subterfuge you’re describing here in a way where " what Linux is it " matters at all. I mean, windows is used for secure systems across the world, it’s hardly secretive.

I don’t think it really matters whether a potential adversary has a ‘head start’ all that much, security through obscurity doesn’t work super well when it’s going to be deployed to thousands of easily accessible devices anyway. It’d only just be a defense in depth, but even then meh. But it’s neither here nor there, they’ll do it whatever way they feel is best.

It won’t be a security risk once it’s in use, IT across Germany will know within days of deployment. It will almost definitely be a modified version of some probably well known Linux.

I’d more likely agree that it’s a cold way to put it. Hardly flowery, and hardly is someone trying to convince you to vote a certain way voter suppression. That’s just called politics. That’s like, the core conceit of an election, no less.

If you’re going to protest vote at least be honest about what it is, “it’s not a spoiler vote, I’m just intentionally not voting for the candidate I [most likely] prefer on this candidate I know won’t win.”

Spoiler votes are hardly smoke or even a controversial concept. They are a natural consequence of first past the post elections.

Star voting would solve almost all of these issues.

The actual problem is that the language of the bill is looking to make it far easier for a president to ban any given potentially foreign influenced video platform. That’s not fantastic and it’s been masked under these compounding layers of absurdity.

Unions aren’t the ones who decide salaries outright, they negotiate with the employer. Wages go up under unions, not that all union workers are paid better than all non union workers. A Delta Union would almost definitely make their deal even better.

One of these things is not like the others.

The actual reason the us hasn’t switched is the many billions of dollars it would cost for basically no tangible benefit. There are probably better uses of that money if we actually got to spend it on what we wanted, like social programs.

I mean anything anyone does on the internet is tech given they do it on the internet.

Musk is largely just being a shitty ceo doing ceo things, kinda notably for cultural reasons, sure, but musk news probably better serves as more business news than tech.

Good?

This is not a great argument unless you are very deep into pretending a game company can do no wrong.

There are lots of ways this is silly to claim is fine, it’s ridiculous to act like this is expected or acceptable and not just amateurish lack of polish.

But it’s okay, you can still enjoy the game. It’s okay to enjoy things which have flaws.

Chest compressions >> new air

Get a second person to help on breathing

Get a third to make trading roles easier.

Yeah I’m not disagreeing about the conditions.
