  • I agree with this sentiment but I don't see it actually convincing anyone of the dangers of AI. It reminds me a lot of how teachers said that calculators won't always be available and we need to learn how to do mental math. That didn't convince anyone then

  • I'm one of those people ... I always thought, if it's reasonable to have a conversation with someone physically there, at a reasonable talking volume, why does it matter if I'm doing the same on my phone?

    Obviously if it's obnoxiously loud that's a different story

  • Was really exciting seeing ferrari move up through the field towards the top 3. If that safety car hadn't been called, ferrari could've gone for soft tires and put pressure to get both drivers on the podium

    Hopefully ferrari improves on this and keeps the momentum going

  • That would've been a huge risk, earlier this race you saw that the mediums only lasted about 17 laps, and they had almost 24 to go if they chose soft. It's honestly amazing Russel was able to keep the soft from degrading for the rest of the race, but it was a huge risk and probably a bit of luck. Even Russel said it was ambitious

  • You can reinstall a driver without ever touching the command line on windows.

    Can you do that with Linux? Idk maybe on some distros but the default would just be to uninstall the package from terminal.

    Pretending these are equivalent is not cool and it just drives new users away for not understanding things the community takes for granted. It takes effort to learn the terminal if even tech-savvy windows users may not even use the command line

  • Personally I believe that unless you're able to do a slackware or gentoo installation, you're not ready for Linux.

    /s but only kinda

    Linux users need to have a higher level of technical literacy than windows users. It just can't be avoided unless you're okay with potentially reinstalling your os at some point. The bar has been lowered a lot, but because other companies refuse to play nice with Linux, it'll always be there.

    If you're okay with that tradeoff, then yeah Linux is great. But a lot of people aren't even aware of it and it causes a lot of pain

  • What kind of purpose does the military serve over there? Is seeing soldiers doing civilian stuff a common thing?

    My perspective has always been that the military works overseas, completely seperate from most Americans daily life

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What's your opinion on mandatory military service?

  • Maybe, but that would defeate the purpose.

    Tails is secure because it is a packaged distribution that allows you to do a lot of stuff privately, like browse, email, download, and upload.

    Installing a video game doesn't break the other stuff; you can still do that. But that additional software is an avenue for malicious actors to get in to your system, that the tailsOS team didn't test

  • I get why 2FA is adopted so widely: companies need to cover they asses. Even if you don't care if a hacker gets ahold of your password for a flash game website, that password leak could cause issues later on, and opens the website up to responsibility.

    What really bothers me more, is that 2FA is relying so heavily on phone numbers, which is an extremely flawed security system. At least some of the larger companies are open to using authenticator apps, or sharing the private key for storing in a database. But so many websites do 2FA by "requiring a phone number", which just puts a lot of security responsibility on the phone carrier now. The user doesn't really gain any extra responsibility for having good opsec, because phone companies fuck up all the time and assign phone numbers to new sim cards all the time, often on concerningly small amounts of information

  • politics @lemmy.world

    What happens if there’s a tie in 2024? Be ready for a ‘contingent election’
