The implication being that all of the teenage girls had their laptops open in their bedrooms, and at least one random employee had copies of their photos and videos.

Sure but they couldn't prove criminal intent so it's ok.

It doesn't really bother me tbh.

KDE's Discover app pulls from the distro package manager, snap, and flat hub. AppImages to me are like "portable" executables and don't really need an app store. However you can use Gear Lever to update them.

I know this will usually draw the ire of more experienced users (yes I use Arch btw) but if you really want an install that is as hands-off and foolproof as possible you are generally gonna be better off with an Ubuntu distro.

I put Kubuntu on PCs for beginners/noobs because it gives them access to more advanced options if they need them in the future while also typically being fully functional out of the box.

Ubuntu distros typically have extensive hardware support and a lot of testing. Yeah it's not going to be the most cutting-edge but you don't want that, you want it to "just work"

I like LibreOffice but if your goal is MS Office compatibility you are better off trying OnlyOffice

Especially considering they already put the battery external, if you have to shove a battery in your pocket and run a wire up to your head they might as well have put more of the electronics there too.

It would conserve a lot of weight and space and make it more comfortable to wear

Yeah as far as I know this still works.

You need to use a valid address (there are sites for generating one)

You also need to use a credit card that has never previously been used in Google with another address

Sweet making it illegal just makes it even more enticing!

Anyone in OK down for some illegal sexting? 😏

Minor note:

I think "their god's judgement" sounds cooler

While I'm as skeptical as you are, I don't think people recognizing you is a good metric.

A better test would be if an AI trained on your younger face could accurately and reliably identify you with your adult face.

The way AI and human face recognition work are different from each other. An AI may be able to identify you based on markers that human recognition doesn't account for

As I understand it, it's just as they said:

Calculating primes is fairly straightforward so you calculate a few large prime numbers, and do some math to them.

Now you have a strong key that didn't require a supercomputer to create but taking that final number and turning it back into those original primes is a much more computationally expensive proposition.

In fact, it's one that's not viable with current technology.

I bought a WD Black 4TB gen4 nvme for just under $200 over the holidays.

The listing says up to 7,300MB/s. I only have a gen3 SSD slot so I can't verify that but it saturates the gen3 capabilities.

Given the recent attack, I think this is a good opportunity to remind of the importance of using 2FA.

(although it doesn't appear to make any difference in this case as session cookies were being exploited so login credentials were not needed)

But for me at least, this event has made me go back and take another shot at setting up 2FA.

I am happy to report I finally got it working on all my Lemmy accounts/instances, so I thought I'd share some tips:

  • I still haven't figured out how to set up via desktop, use a mobile browser.
  • Follow these steps:
    • Check the enable 2fa box on your account settings and click Save
    • A message will show about a button appearing when the page refreshes
    • The button usually doesn't appear for me at first.
    • You can simply manually refresh the page at this point to make the button appear
    • The button should now be visible. Click the button.
    • This opens a otpauth:// link which on a mobile device should be handled by a 2FA app if you have one installed.
  • Authy does not work: It will generate a code happily but that code will not work when you try to login to your Lemmy account.
  • Google Authenticator worked for me. It appears the type of TOTP code Lemmy is using is not compatible with some authenticator apps.
  • I think if you can find a desktop app that registers as a provider for the otpauth:// links it may be possible to do on desktop as well.
  • You can also pull the secret= value from the link to manually add it to an authenticator on/from desktop.

After several failed attempts previously, I finally figured out Authy was the problem and I have now secured all my Lemmy accounts with 2FA. Annoying that I have to use GA, but that appears to be an Authy issue not a Lemmy one.

2FA might not have made any difference today but it very well might in the future.

Stay safe everyone! 🔐
