  • That's only really true if you're going to be storing the password in a secure vault after randomly generating it; otherwise, it's terrible because 1) nobody will be able to remember it so they'll be writing it down, and 2) it'll be such a pain to type that people will find ways to circumvent it at every possible turn

    Pass phrases, even when taken with the idea that it's a limited character set that follows a semi predictable flow, if you look at it in terms of the number of words possible it actually is decently secure, especially if the words used are random and not meaningful to the user. Even limiting yourself to the 1000 most common words in the English language and using 4 words, that's one trillion possible combinations without even accounting for modifying capitalisation, adding a symbol or three, including a short number at the end...

    And even with that base set, even if a computer could theoretically try all trillion possibilities quickly, it'll make a ton of noise, get throttled, and likely lock the account out long before it has a chance to try even the tiniest fraction of them

    Your way is theoretically more secure, but practically only works for machines or with secure password storage. If it's something a human needs to remember and type themselves, phrases of random words is much more viable and much more likely to be used in a secure fashion.

  • If regulation didn't work, corpos wouldn't fight so hard to dismantle them every step of the way. If they didn't work, we wouldn't see things get markedly worse every time they're removed.

    And ancap just sounds like all the worst bits of libertarianism taken to their illogical extreme and would produce one of the worst possible societies imaginable so why do any people here not hate ancap?

  • They do make some sense if you consider the US's puritanical roots where, in essence, suffering is considered good and moral, or at least leisure and enjoyment are considered hedonistic and immortal.

    Also, that for whatever reason everything is short term thinking: is this quarter better than last quarter? If not, your business is failing. Is this quarter enough better than last quarter? Business is failing.

    From a business perspective, it makes no sense, but businesses don't make decisions. People do. And those people frequently do not stick around to see the fallout from those decisions, they just pump up the business' bottom line long enough for the stocks to rise, sell out, then bail out taking a generous severance before the company crashes and burns.

    And nobody is really stopping it because it's so lucrative at the individual level that the individuals that might be able to change it are profiting from it.

    And lack of regulation is what permits it to continue.

  • This is why Ubuntu was such a big deal when it came out, it was one of the few where things more or less "just worked" without having to chase proprietary or reverse engineered drivers down

  • I actually do have separate sick leave, but plenty of times at other jobs have had combined PTO, which basically means I'm burning my potential vacation by being sick.

    Other times, I've not even had sick leave at all, got fired once for taking one day off with explosive diarrhea because I couldn't afford to see a doctor to get a note on minimum wage.

    Some companies are better. Some states have actually somewhat decent protections. Lots of others are complete garbage.

    So yeah... A lot of us are jealous of what Europeans have, but not enough so to organize and demand better of our employers and our government

  • What the hell are you talking about? Where did I contradict that argument, and hell, where did I even make it in the first place?

    I said that it will take far more resources to terraform and colonize another planet than to fix this one. I didn't even touch on the pollution and use of finite resources (which is also an issue, mainly because of how much we're doing it)

    I'm all for space exploration, we have so many breakthroughs that are usable here on Earth through it that not doing it at all would be foolish. But you're kidding yourself if you think we're going to succeed in leaving.

    This planet will be our grave, sadly. We might, if we're very lucky and can actually change what we're doing finally, make that be a very distant thing.

    But settling another planet, as much as I would absolutely love to see it, is likely never going to happen just from the sheer logistics of it, not to mention the fact that we still haven't managed to build a self sustaining and isolated ecosystem that can support humans indefinitely on this planet, where we can truck everything to the site rather than have to shoot it into space a tiny amount at a time and then have it spend 9 months to 2 years to reach the nearest planet

    And unless we want to save a tiny population living under domes, we'd have to extend that to an entire planet that's far, FAR further from our target than this one which already sustains life, and which doesn't have a magnetosphere in the first place so even if we managed to give it a thick enough atmosphere with the right blend for us, it'll simply bleed away into space anyway.

    And unless you're thinking of going to the hellhole that is Venus, the next nearest potential candidate is probably going to be one of the moons of Jupiter, which have plenty of their own issues.

  • Most people over school age in the US do not get a summer vacation. Most are lucky if they have enough vacation hours to rub together to cover a random illness so they don't have to work while barely able to function for being too sick.

    And I'm not even close to joking or exaggerating.

    It's fucking bad here. We're horribly jealous.

    I'm extremely fortunate for having 5 weeks of vacation per year, and half of that is only because of working extra on the weekends to bank extra time. And good luck getting approval to take more than about a week of it at a time.

  • We need to leave the planet? For where?

    For a planet that's completely incapable of sustaining life?

    Do you realize that it'll take many, many orders of magnitude more resources, time, and effort to make literally any other celestial body within several years of space flight of us capable of sustaining life than it will be to fix the habitable planet we have right here?

    We're not getting off this rock without stabilizing it enough to sustain us long-term first. And by then, we won't need to leave. Either way, though, evacuating isn't a viable solution.

    And if you don't believe me, go talk to some biologists.
