I find it funny how the internet went straight into the cryptic(to understand for normies) nature of 2fa based on SIM card, when it might had been simpler (and possibly more secure in practice), to just go with key files at first.

this is statistically meaningless, because it's a testimony of N=1. the picture might be different if you do a controlled analysis (with more bugs).

Wine has been affected by profit too. Nobody remembers CodeWeavers? Let alone plenty of distros are for-profit and use it as a means to advertise their game-playing capabilities.

A lot of people have the impression 'AI prompt' guys are going to be the next 'IT guys'. Judging by how uncanny valley most of those look, they seem like the new 'ideas guys".

I'm not sure why wasn't that blatantly obvious until today. Chess is an extremely unsuitable sport for online because you are 100% free to use the strongest computers on it without 100% no cheat protection at all. It should be ..1

Let alone they are not even written by THEMSELVES half of the time. A lot of articles are literally paid ads disguised as news. Other "news" are forced by the management because it comes from their further higher ups.

Exactly. We're on the third age of the internet so to speak. At the first only the computer nerds were on it (up to ~2000); then only computer nerds + mostly young adults were on it (up to ~2010); and now all the literal toddlers and l

Sites like this have many Google employees though.

That's literally like saying Windows is terrible because it allows you to run programs outside a phone-like sandbox.

telegram scammers often use reverse-psychology scamming because they are so proficient in it, that they become pretty meta. this might be itself one of those.

the illness thing does sound silly indeed. let's say they are ill. why is it so important to say this if the files end up being real?

~80% of the telegram scamming is "technically ethical", meaning they shill to their users they truly believe in the project they promote and it will definitely make them rich if they stick with it. Then if they rug pull or if it c

I think they imply that they only eavesdropped on channels they cared to bother with, but I also think it's questionable.

I noticed many people in this thread have the delusion perfect security can exist; perfect security is impossible; there are always drawbacks. You have a choice to make: it's either hard for you to unlock the relevant secret to the poi

The mistake here, is that 2FA is used in a circular logic hence it's not useful to use it. If you must avoid 2FA being a problem in a situation like this just don't use it; remember a password or otherwise keep it secure; never lo

That is true even for entertainment videos on Youtube. Some people have the delusion it's effortless. PewDiePie said he was for at least 2 years posting videos for ~100 followers and a regular ~1mil views/video youtuber often spen

Fancy literature but in the end it says little. There is a simple way to put it. Sometimes an era has missed some of the innovations it could have done and spends too much time caring only about the core technology but it might be beneficia

You can easily game reddit and other similar popularity contest sites or at least sort of. Play their game. E.g. if you delete your own messages immediately after you notice they get a negative momentum you will be quickly considered a mode
