The person you’re replying to already gave you one: it’s free.

Second: its not a prime target for attack like centralized, hosted webservices are. See: LastPass being cracked and people’s login data stolen.. Twice.

Yes, it is cryptographically superior to LastPass, and attempts to design around their flaws - but the threat still exists because its a very tasty target on the open internet for cybercrime.

My little Keepass DB synched over personal VPN by Syncthing? Much harder to find a vector for attack. But it does require more moving parts and maintenance.

Each have their pros and cons.

Pretty defensive there. It’s not even a study

Damn this is really cool. I like these free-form surreal stream of consciousness style drawings - is there a name for them?

Sir, this is a Lemmy.ml thread.

Reasonable, considered responses are not welcome here.

Don’t be logical. You’re supposed to cry fascist and hurl slippery-slope fallacies like this is the Reichstag Fire.

Make alternator spin. Is only way.

100% agree.

P. S. Keep the downvotes coming. You only prove the point of the post with your toxicity.

No, entirely incorrect. “bad thing can happen, so it will happen” is essentially a mangling of Murphy’s Law.

In a slippery slope argument, a course of action is rejected [eg: this minor law] because the slippery slope advocate believes it will lead to a chain reaction resulting in an undesirable end or ends [eg: loose claims of a pot getting hotter implying further details will be demanded next].

I like the ‘Enshittocene Era’ also.

It did achieve the intended distraction from Trump’s Epstein issues quite well though, they’ve been off the press radar since this began.

I mean I wanna upvote but this has my AI sensor sus.

“They are made in china, why not just smuggle them out of the factory and skip the middle man?”

Explain how this comment makes sense.

They are not made in China.

Can people just not read articles anymore?

The entire article is about US-manufactured servers being shipped to China. Not a single mention of the other story of TSMC chips directly-exported to China from Taiwan, which is an entirely different event.

Yep. Its honestly mild as hell.

Essentially legislation that says: - app stores have to have age categories to silo children, teens, and adults. - OSes have to have a field to collect this data from users when they set up their login, so it can be sent to app stores via API.

Its just a standardized system that should have been done ages ago, but was not a priority for standards orgs, so none stepped up - so legislation appeared.

I strongly argue that it should only apply to commercial OSes and app stores though - as they’re the ones that primarily cause issues these laws intent to address.

Linux and FOSS have been caught in the crossfire in a privacy and personal data battle they were not involved in.

This does not disagree with what I said, nor add weight to the statement I was replying to.

The servers in question in the article were made in the US and the chips in Taiwan.

Yes, there is shitfuckery going on with the grey market, and yes, Nvidia is likely doing their best to turn a blind eye - that really doesn’t have anything to do with what you wrote.

Uhh.. No.

The servers in question are made and built in the USA, and the chips are made in Taiwan by TSMC. China is not involved at all, as they lack the capabilities to manufacture these chips (for now).

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.

Yep. I get stuck in analysis paralysis too. Like the price of GPUs in particular it’s been hard to time a ‘good time to buy’ a major upgrade in the last decade because there’s being something driving price cycles artificially multiple time and for extended periods.

What may be a bigger factor is that the body language of someone feeling uncomfortable is noticed and reciprocated empathetically by someone who empathises with you, automatically.

Genuine question - I don’t actually know how to signal allyship without looking like I’m pandering or being weird. I dress pretty professional/plainly on transit and figure a trans pin would be of place because I don’t have any other backpack decorations. Are there subtle things you guys and girls have seen that sends a positive message in a subtle way?

Future historians will look back on these post-industrial-age times as “the stupid age”, and it’ll be fair.
