Do you genuinely think the folks who "gambled" really understood the implications? How many random mailers have you gotten asking to switch to a random third party provider because "it's better for the env" or will "save money"?

I mean I'll grant you California is a shitshow but it's been a shitshow since republicans got on their knees for Enron in the 90s and literally hasn't recovered. How about Florida, which has been a red state for 80% of the last 30 years, low regulation, but instead of building new power they are keeping nukes going well past their service life? Abundant sun. Abundant wave power. They have the fucking entire European heating system right off the coast.

Your measure of corruption is what now? How many new things are built regardless of their need or what impacts they may have?

Very...unique standpoint.

I think they mean "the same forces that led to the grid collapsing every few years -- prioritizing profit above all else, and the government giving zero fucks-- are the same forces which trigger new development to be in renewables with zero regulation or oversight"

Conservatives always write about their broken-clock-right-twice successes in a similar way.

Not everything has to be this. Please stop.

He's rich and hires youth to rob them of their youth. None of them will ever unionize either, they think they are the lucky ones.

You can change the provider to bitwarden.

I mean you're right about banks but your examples make no sense.

Banks generally don't support 2fa, which is bad. Some banks (fidelity) still have character limits on passwords because they stores it in plaintext until recently so you could use it through the telephone system. They could implement a secure tap to pay system on your phones with enhanced security, rather than relying on Google to handle their job. And for credit cards themselves, switch to chip and pin.

"Banks don't have mobile apps"?? "Signatures are secure"?????🤡

Wow that's madness

Didn't know it happened other than lemmy

I suppose that's all true, I'd say more "following apples lead on locking things down" than over engineered, but 🍅🍅.

I find myself avoiding the whole root business, I do want my mobile device to be fairly locked down. But I also use alternative OSs and app stores to avoid 90% of the garbage (stuff I can't avoid I put in work profile, like I still need google maps).

It works for me, but on the front of this complexity driving away devs I don't really see a viable alternative. Base Linux isn't secure enough for what we put on these little computers. I mean you've still got tons of influential people arguing you shouldn't use secureboot or a tpm as if leaving your whole computer unsecured is better than the indignity of using a non-free bios.

The funny thing about this whole conversation is I genuinely don't know which population it's supposed to be disparaging. (Also I'll note I never saw the message you responded to, given it was mod removed on Lemmy it could be super toxic or it could be "I don't like Linux that much", but I assume the former)

Don't get me wrong I know I could look it up, but it's easier to just not care and go with the flow when I'm around folks in their 20s...and also not care and go with the flow when I'm around folks in their 50s.

Ok so you're just ignoring every message and just...vomiting words all over me. I'm out.
