Police can be corrupt and have issues, but a world without them would be fucked.

People act like it's just as simple as removing police and the world would be amazing, but that's the naive world view imo. You need to actually go through some shit to realize how important they are even if imperfect.

This is just a meme but a pretty stupid world view generally.

So Tesla's entire strategy Elon was working was just abandoned.

Continues down the pathway that Tesla is just going to fade to irrelevance.

DingoBilly , 3 months ago to Technology in Bullying in Open Source Software Is a Massive Security Vulnerability

It's probably far more common than most people realize. Open source software doesn't automatically make it secure, and in many cases can be less secure than closed source as it's just one or two people doing it for free.

Much easier to be tempted to do something wrong or to get others to help in and take the weight off.

And someone recently told me the Xz exploit doesn't matter because no developer is stupid enough to install beta releases to prod systems lol.

Laziness and/or low skills leads to a lot of IT failures.

There's plenty of products without subscriptions... Including your doorbell example.

Maybe you haven't actually researched this enough?

Phew, thankfully everyone follows appropriate procedures and doesn't just roll out beta updates to production in their systems.

Right?

The real question is why the fuck is this guy passing for two password managers if not more, especially if he isn't even using one?

Yeah they got lucky. But shows how susceptible systems are. Really makes you wonder how many systems are infected with similar - this wouldn't be the first back door that's live in Linux systems.

Immediately noticed even though the packages have been out for over a month?

Easily could have stolen a ton of information in that month.

No I wouldn't pay for the services of someone else when I can get it for free.

I'd pirate it if I could though?

DingoBilly , 3 months ago to Technology in 20 years of Gmail

Gmail is still good for me at least. Does everything I want, doesn't need new features and I don't see ads or anything.

What more would I get from someone else? I'm not going to pay for privacy at end of day.

This is why I don't use Linux. Insecure as fuck.

Yep, you're not wrong.
