I’ll read through those threads sometime. I don’t think I’ll be commenting in that instance though. Maybe I’ll look around for a community that clicks better to interact with. I don’t really have questions off the top of my head, sorry. I don’t know what I don’t know.

“People I don’t agree with are lying in bad faith.”

I have no interest in talking to you.

Ok.

This is my exact same experience. I ask for someone to elaborate on their stance, get told (not accused, told) I’m trolling. Ask for explanation/definition of a concept, get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory. Ask for civility, get told I deserve abuse for “endorsing genocide”. (By the way, I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I’m a genocide supporter I guess because I won’t flush my vote third party this November.)

Hexbear is a community that expects you to conform. Every time there is a post like this, someone comes out of the woodwork and says “They’re nice people if you talk like them and agree with them on everything.” It’s cool that you’re not getting abused, but abuse is coming from that space, whether or not it is happening to you.

It’s a shame because I would like to hear the nuances of their viewpoints, but I can never get them to tell me what they are. Always complaining that nobody tries to understand, but dogpiling on anyone that asks questions. Then they pull up your report history and tell you “It’s just a little dunking bro, stop being a snowflake” for not putting up with it.

Users of Hexbear, if you’re reading these words, do better. Nobody is going to sympathize with your cause if you antagonize outsiders that want to learn more.

This is a good question and your curiosity is appreciated.

A password that has been properly hashed (the thing they do in that Avalanche Effect Wikipedia entry to scramble the original password in storage) can take trillions of years to crack, and each additional character makes that number exponentially higher. Unless the AI can bring that number to less than 90 days - a fairly standard password change frequency for corporate environments - or heck, just less than 100 years so it can be done within the hacker’s lifetime, it’s not really going to matter how much faster it becomes.

The easier method (already happening in fact) is to use an LLM to scan a person’s social media and then reach out to relatives pretending to be that person, asking for bail money, logins etc. If the data is sufficiently locked down, the weakest link will be the human that knows how to get to it.

Well first I divide the word by Eminem.

This just hurts. A whole loving family being thrown under the bus to protect one cop. Therapist sounds like a piece of work too, there should never be unwanted physical contact during therapy. Evil.

I’ll give it a shot, thank you!

I’d suggest starting with a blanket of single crochets to get comfortable with the hook

Do you have a guide to recommend for this? How big of a blanket? What is a “single crochet”?

A relative of mine is a big fan of The Woobles, they got me a panda kit that I really have to start on. But the how-to videos go over every step in detail and are pretty easy to understand.

Meanwhile Starlink’s direct to cell capability is only growing. If your phone has 4G, Starlink knows where it is.

This is all news to me, could someone please elaborate/share some resources?

I don’t know anything about Starlink but I guess I should if it knows anything about me.

I dunno if I’d call it a review so much as a listicle. Also, “Seven” co-op? Does he play the games he recommends?

Not sure those are one-to-one. I remember just about every local news station doing the Harlem Shake, but as far as I can tell not one has reenacted the coffin dance (but I’d love to be proven wrong).

My condolences. I’m sorry that happened to you.

The metaphor was bad, just take the L.

15 years ago the first iPhone came out. Probably related.

The fact that you think a pet name and a preferred name are the same thing shows how much you understand what you’re talking about.

Genesis 5: 2 says “Male and female he created them, and he blessed them.”

In an English translation. I’d be interested to see what subtleties in the original text didn’t make it over.

And Native Americans have 5 genders.

Weird that entirely separate and different societies all come to the conclusion that there should be more than just 2 genders that are locked in at birth.

It’s almost as if each person is unique and shoehorning people into only one possible way of living based on your sex is archaic and holding us back from living our most fulfilling lives.
