Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • I've recently turned into a blocker.

  • I don't ever want people I blocked to not be able to see my stuff when the account is public. It's just a weird limitation and gives a false sense of security. Though not being able to directly reply to things would be nice.

    People aged 25+ How often do you hang out/see friends?

    Jump

  • It varies, but typically like 1-5 days a week.

  • People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads

    Jump

  • No, I don't like mine and would probably literally cover the screen of it was in my eyesight. It's unacceptable.

  • I have an Echo Show, it shows a bunch of ads. It's typically out of my view and I never use the video features. It has options to disable things and I thought I disabled them all but maybe they show ads now regardless. Because I'm definitely seeing ads. I only got one because I think it was bundled with something else or it was a gift.

  • You're much too young for the Internet. Please submit your SSN and parents' credit card information.

  • Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account

    Jump

  • Well, at least in 10, the username is something dumb and you can't change it during creation (or everywhere easily after creation) when doing an online account. But linking after you create your account let you set it to whatever. So there may be people who are fine with online accounts but just want to set their usernames to whatever.

  • Big tech security

    Jump

  • I don't find that shocking, and to be honest, I don't really see too much of a problem with forcing people to give that information to be on the play store. But to let people make programs that run on the hardware at all is crazy. Forbidding third party app stores is the most anti competitive bullshit ever.

  • I think there's a lot of it in particular because it's easy to produce (just add a few lines of dialogue about it) and it's easy to ignore if people dislike it but aren't outright disgusted by it ("yeah it's gross, but I know they're acting and that's not part of it for me").

  • Seems very secure. As in job security. Because why the fuck did they make it so complicated.

  • Deleting Files

    Jump

  • Right? I get that it's "alarming" to users to see weird stuff, but just hide it under a little expandable thing.

  • Deleting Files

    Jump

  • How? I could've sworn it wasn't even a "real" file. I thought the file system just had special rules for interacting with that name.

  • What's the real danger of opening ports?

    Jump

  • I think people get too defensive about security by obscurity not being security. It's still better for things to be obscure, it's just not sufficient. A hidden lock to open a door is marginally better than a lock on the door. A hidden button to open a door isn't secure though, of course.

    But at the same time, I fully understand why it's stressed so much. People tend to make analogies in their mind to the physical world. The digital world is so different though. An example I use often is you can't jiggle every doorknob in the world to see if it's unlocked, but it's (relatively) easy to check every IPv4 address for an open port to some database with default credentials.

  • Okay but about the fiber shit, they covered 99.7% of my city and didn't cover my street and I'm within walking distance of city hall. I really wish there was a way I could compel them to give me fiber. One of the few things I dislike about my location.
