The comments very much say otherwise. Additionally, I am not defending Verizon.

I am aware Lemmy users don't defend companies.

I mean to each their own but this Zelda game feels more like Zelda to me. The dungeons and the bosses. It has a plot. The building adds to the adventure.

I don't really think your opinion is unpopular though. Feels kind of like the music comment. If it's not for you it's fine but I just respectfully disagree with your opinion. I personally think Wind Waker isn't great it is endless sailing with zero to little guidance. The game also was hated before it was loved.

The story is great but Wind Waker is minutes of sailing and trying to figure out where you are going. Feels like the same concept of using something to get across the world. On top of that collecting tons of items to get an NPC to interact with you or give you something.

Does Apple show your usage? I find that most people's definition of "heavy" is not as heavy as they think.

Also, it's a logical fallacy for one person to make up for others. It also may have nothing to do with usage. Using a battery is one thing but battery life is dependent on charge, the speed of charge, and how hot the battery cells get as well as hell well they handle that heat during expansion.

Eh, I like to say that to each their own on this one. This isn't so much of as unpopular as it is just an opinion of taste. There are plenty of good movies that have released in the past year or two.

This is actually one I slightly agree with. However, ToTK is what BoTW should have been and is for sure a representation of what open world can be like.

Ah yes, "the choice should be spend money to euthanize them with the the death penalty or torture them with money with an even more cruel death penalty." Your opinion is actually unpopular because it is a shit opinion.

Half of our prisons are filled with inmates in the US. Who have been punished for federal crimes relating to weed. So let's just torture them and that will teach those inmates they are instead at fault because the world is shitty for testing products on animals instead.

Fuck this opinion for sure.

How dare you, didn't you know that developers have so much money because what could they be doing with all that money you are contributing to them if they have all that extra money. You should just pirate their stuff instead to help them by taking big man YouTube.

Obviously sarcasm, btw. Support the things you like even if others think you should just not spend your money.

The average Lemmy user knows fuck all about, security, privacy, operating systems, act like they are unique, and are inclusive despite wanting more people to understand more about the way they see things.

Libertarianism and anarchism aren't cool and don't work.

You are a part of the problem if you hate Nintendo but think you are helping the developer by pirating their games.

You are an even bigger problem to bringing more people to your way of thinking if you are constantly negative about those people buying something they like just because you wouldn't.

Thinking you are alternative because everything you think is mainstream makes you mainstream.

Your choice of FOSS and OS doesn't make that product good by design. Just because you can't operate and OS doesn't make that OS bad.

I am confused? Do you guys not check where you are saving something?

The photo app that is terrible at telling me what is NSFW and what isn't.

Literally, I had a picture on Pixelfed that was marked NSFW and opening it revealed a fucking tree.

Then I scroll down and I think, "oh it is another NSFW tree." No it was an image of two people fucking." I don't care if there is porn but the algorithm to determine what porn is on Pixelfed is shit. Make it work better or just give me a damn toggle to turn it all off.

I am seeing a lot of, "I hate Verizon." Comments, you guys don't know a lot about the telecom industry and AT&T's rise and failure.

Look up the Baby Bells and the crack down on AT&T. Listen to a couple of security podcasts and learn about AT&T charging users 700 dollars and instead of looking into the bill mishap they were blaming the users.

Listen to the issues T-Mobile has with security.

Is Verizon better in every way? No. Is every other company better because Verizon is better. Also, no.

They all arbitrarily raise prices. The most recent lawsuit with AT&T was a 2 dollar increase to customers bills that they got sued for and lost. What was the resolution? They paid far less than they made.

It's not just Verizon my friend.

Sounds like phone link by Microsoft. Pretty neat, there should be a disclosure here or edit. You can't browse all of Android file system unless you root the device Google has locked down some file paths due to exploitation by the end user and attackers.

Hotspot is usually included in specific plans. If you are prepaid you do have to pay extra for it.

Am I the only one not living under a fucking rock?

It just goes along with the mentality of the Lemmy community. The idea that everything FOSS and what they dictate is not mainstream is better in all ways.

I made a comment awhile back about how Lemmy users tend to have this r/notlikeothergirls mentality. That they know something the average user doesn't because they can talk about FOSS, privacy, and security. In reality a lot of users don't understand how that works at all.

Privacy here is technically a nightmare. You jump in a server without knowing what data is visible on that server and you are relying on the security of the person/people who is hosting that server.

There seems to be this idea of, "if I think it's mainstream it's just not as good."

Truth is Linux is fantastic, Mozilla is also great, open source is also great but it doesn't mean it is better by default in every way.

Look at Linux phones vs Android and iOS. Even people dictating privacy are still using modded versions of Android like Graphene OS because it works.

If you want some of the best Android security on the device physically you go with Pixel. Doesn't matter how you feel about privacy. Same goes for iPhone.

Windows may be clunky but it does a lot of things right in regards to security as well. Doesn't matter how you feel about Windows. Microsoft absolutely takes security of the system and how that security is distributed seriously.

Linux fantastic if you really want full control of your system and a great way to learn about those systems when you have to fix it if it breaks.

FOSS is also nice I hope we never lose hold of FOSS but that doesn't make a paid product terrible either. Take Sync and Jerboa as examples. Jerboa is FOSS and Activity PUB is FOSS and so is Lemmy. But when you compare features and UI. Jerboa is stomped by Sync IMO and I will pay money for something that works really well.

Anyways I digress.

So there should be a test as there is no proper way for most to prove they aren't a bad actor. That is the unfortunate bit. I know I am not a bad actor and would genuinely like to help. Insider threat is a real issue and I can understand the lack of trust but how would I prove my trust?

A resume? Work experience? All of those could mean nothing if you intend to harm the system anyways.

I would personally like to devote time to learning this kind of thing to assist.

I think the issue is it can become failure of compliance and obstruction of justice at some point or can be tried as that. Elon could really get himself fucked if am investigation found members of the company discussion rejection to oblige.

I remember I installed a Debian OS once years ago and it updated and broke its own repositories or something like that.

I also think they are missing, "jump through hoops to install some software and fix those issues on your own."

There are quite a few InfoSec people here. While I have never held an official InfoSec job I do have a degree. However, my degree is debatable about whether it actually educates me as intended.

Point being there are a lot of people that have more knowledge than me as well as experience but I want to learn. As someone who is always listening to security podcasts like Hacking Humans or Darknet Diaries, naked hacking, or even InfoSec journalism around popular ongoing issues in the world like Click Here. I always want to learn and get experience.

I currently work in IT for a hospital. Is there any way to help with this kind of thing to learn and build on knowledge to help? To volunteer time to potentially see what is going on?
