It would be cool if they stored a hash of the recovery email, then you type it out during the recovery process and they can send if the hash matches what they got.

barsquid ,

I disagree it would be the same as a password. They do use only the hash to validate the entry, that is the same. But then they send recovery to the email instead of proceeding in place. An attacker would have to both know the email and be able to access its inbox. (Or, less likely, generate a hash collision with an address they do control.)

I think they could do verification if they kept the plaintext address just long enough to send something out.

The UX of only being able to show hashes would be pretty unfortunate, sure. Maybe that’s a potential compromise if they kept just a first letter, likex***@example.com? Same number of stars in the interface regardless of the real length of email, to attempt to leak less info.

barsquid ,

You’re incorrect. If they salt the hash and use bcrypt it is computationally infeasible for Microsoft to match it against a customer. Or at least expensive enough that Microsoft would insist on warrants and subpoenas.

barsquid ,

What a delusional perspective. I wish I could get “harassed” by thousands of fans clearly explaining what they want from my software.

barsquid ,

But you’re describing a standard Dem. Repubs are actively trying to drag us backwards. They are regressives.

barsquid ,

They can go whether the driver wants them to or not once the pedal is stuck down. (Unless they’ve been mildly dampened outside of car wash mode.)

barsquid ,

Whats the cost of a human life brah?

That depends on if grandma is being evaluated by an Obama Death Panel (life is precious and invaluable) or by the stock market in 2020 (she has, what, a couple years left anyway, let her die).

After Raids, NYPD Denied Student Protesters Water and Food in Jail (theintercept.com)

Students arrested during the police crackdown on protests at universities in New York City last week were denied water and food for 16 hours, according to two faculty members at Columbia University’s Barnard College who collected reports from students who were inside....

barsquid ,

That’s a great point, why wouldn’t they have simply hung out in the phone area calling up the newspapers to complain about food and water while they were in there? That would have made it valid and true compared to post hoc complaints which are invalid and false.

barsquid ,

Every protester in there is innocent from the perspective of the government. No trials have occurred. People like you justifying whatever happens are why police can get away with regular and repeated violations of the Constitution.

barsquid ,

I’m objecting to the “that’s simply jail” attitude. Are you struggling with reading comprehension because you’re in a fit of rage right now? Maybe your twelve-year old nephew can help you out.

barsquid ,

How do you set this up?

barsquid ,

This is so cool, thank you!

barsquid ,

What passes for “news” these days.

barsquid ,

We, as an entire society, will have to stop paying for any of this shit to make that happen.

barsquid ,

Imagine telling this to a time traveler from the 20th Century. “You have self-driving cars?” “Yeah, how else will they get back to the dealership when you miss a payment?” LOL fuck this timeline.

barsquid ,

I agree with you but I am cynical that letters expressing what constituents want will be heard above the cash registers ringing from taking in lobbyists’ donations.

barsquid ,

Bullshit fixed-value fines are only a deterrent for poors.

barsquid ,

It’s weird how collective action works so well but they only choose to do it for this linking requirement. You could get the rootkits gone as well, gamers.

barsquid ,

If people were capable of choosing long over short term value then the market might be working instead of the shitshow it is right now. IDGI either.

barsquid ,

Does the rootkit install alongside the game like without explicit user action? That’s pretty unfortunate.

barsquid ,

That is despicable TBH.

barsquid ,

They definitely are treated differently. Unfortunately they are given preferential treatment by spineless media outlets and the largest broadcast network in the country is their propaganda mouthpiece. I fucking wish Americans didn’t trust fake news.

barsquid ,

TP USA has been doing diapers long before this. Regressives just love publicly wearing diapers for some reason. It must be a weird sex thing, and, in typical Repub fashion, they are involving unwilling third parties in their fetish.

barsquid ,

If we had bad faith laws the insurance CEOs wouldn’t be able to buy as many yachts, so we don’t have that sort of thing. Some states have laws against surprise out-of-network billing and that is seen as a miraculous blessing.

barsquid ,

Your primary mistake is expecting cognition out of dimwits who want to install a dictator who has already done one insurrection.

barsquid ,

Do people have to explicitly install this or is it another thing they’re blindsided by like the PSN requirement?

barsquid ,

Same, I used to always pick Ubuntu to spin up servers. Now I pick it never.

barsquid ,

I knew I’d find some receipts in here.

barsquid ,

And also warn newcomers not to invest time into those distros.

barsquid ,

Hell yes, fuck the IOC.

barsquid ,

I love it. If it weren’t overpriced as hell I’d want to buy one to root and install my own apps. The AI portion of it is dumb.

barsquid ,

Yeah, I’m happy they drew any line at all. But it is perplexing why that is where they drew the line instead of at infecting their computers with a rootkit.

barsquid ,

Isn’t this greentext mocking Linux users? Am I not understanding and the author’s perspective is actually that they like Linux but feel ostracized?

barsquid ,

Why the hell would it close harder if there is something in the way? That’s not the correct behavior for a lid, that’s the correct behavior for powered shears.

barsquid ,

“If it encounters resistance, the brushless motor increases in pressure until it closes fully.” Guess the company:

  1. DeWalt
  2. Milwaukee
  3. Makita
  4. Tesla
barsquid ,

Are you certain you’re wrong, though?

barsquid ,

Needs a lockout/tagout before putting your hands in the powered shears to get out your bags.

barsquid ,

It could be a lot better if it were able to get through tough terrains like wet beach sand. Or if the body didn’t rust after touching moisture. Or if it was able to survive a car wash.

Also it would have been neat if they had some automotive professionals working there to tell them that the accelerator pedal needs to come back up when your foot is off it.

barsquid ,

This breakthrough technology could finally provide a way to teach people on the MTA not to hold the doors.

barsquid ,

It that point why not just have some blades slide out on the third try?

barsquid ,

There’s no way I’m sleeping in an area that needs lockout/tagout to enter safely.

barsquid ,

Someone needs to eminent domain the super charging network and run it as a service or at worst a utility.

barsquid ,

I think there might be multiple subgenres, but this person/corporation duality is definitely one of the subgenres. I think the common element is they all believe there is some sort of magic spell they can cast to be immune to regulations.

barsquid ,

Sortof the defining characteristic of regressives is that they are easily brainwashed by media. An enlarged amygdala makes them fear and rage-addicted.

barsquid ,

On the presumption that robbing a bank is always an armed robbery, yeah, the law is likely going to tolerate parties using violence to stop the robbery if they think they are preventing harm.

Trespassing with intent to deliver a pizza is not going to cut it as justification since nobody was in physical danger. Probably not even in Texas since no property was in danger. He wasn’t even warned to exit the property, and he wasn’t fired on until he was leaving.

IANAL but there is absolutely no chance of a self-defense claim here. His best move will be to take whatever plea bargain his lawyer can get.

barsquid ,

I think it might be possible to get around all their menus with just tab and enter, but it’s less of a pain with a mouse last I tried.

He’s right, the installer should either make mice work or have a GUI that doesn’t expect them.

barsquid ,

Time limit should be higher but that sounds like a step in the right direction.

barsquid ,

Many of us would say Ubuntu has already gone to shit. I started on Ubuntu and always did Ubuntu server for running websites. Never again.

Flatpaks are pretty great. I think rpm-ostree is cool in a kinda similar way, so I’ve been looking into those distros.
