Thank you! Even for someone technical, that needed an ELI5.

This is the reality of safety engineering: he will go on for days about his statistics that say it is safer to drive a Tesla, but when it is you that rolls a nat 1, suddenly they aren’t safe enough.

The problem is the perception that having a college education automatically means that you get a high paying job, when the reason that college educated people got paid more was that there were fewer of them. As college education becomes the norm rather than the exception, it just means that more jobs require degrees.

In Canada they definitely do - I was asked for verification on about half of my tax returns. One was a pretty big oops that I thought they might come down on me for.

In the US, I think they are much more random with what they audit.

I have to disagree - this is more like the gate that blocks the sidewalk that you can get around by walking on the grass. The mechanical locks that these come with are significantly weaker, more common and better understood by thieves, that they wouldn't bother even trying to figure out how to hack the smart lock.

This is clearly the trend for Reddit- posts in general interest subs are frequently reposts by bots and commented on by bots that are karma farming so that they can post and upvote these scams.

The scary thing is that this would be easier to accomplish on Lemmy, we just aren’t big enough to be worth their time yet.

Yep - probably not safe to eat.

I didn’t say that. Security and privacy are nearly opposites. This is a security decision.

Because these three provide federated login most email providers do not.

They are probably talking about using it to share CSAM or other illegal content. They need one person to login to be not anonymous so they can give it to the authorities if necessary.
