The databases aren’t encrypted exactly…

The DB don’t even store passwords, but a hash of a user’s password. When someone logs in, their password is hashed and compared to what’s stored in the DB. If they match, entry is granted.

Passwords stored as one-way hashes are cracked by generating passwords and running them against the same hash algorithm, like sha256, sha-1 or md5 if you’re especially shitty at protecting information. Same hash = same password in most cases. The cracking is done using GPUs because they accelerate at those types of functions. This doesn’t even consider salted hashes which make the process more difficult for an attacker.

You do this locally so that you don’t lock a username out or trip alerts or become noticed by someone until you’re ready to gain access.

Tell my last self… Bitcoin. Lol

Calling it here: if the TikTok ban actually starts, he’ll whine he’s being persecuted and they’re out for him, even though he knew about the bans possibility long in advance.

I don’t negotiate or cooperate with insurrectionists. Fuck em 👍

Maybe when it happens to your country you’ll see things the way I do. Good luck with that.

Accepting MAGA means accepting bigotry against: gay, trans, black, Jewish, and other immigrant people. It also supports white nationalism, replacement theory, “anti-woke”, religious teaching in public schools, unfounded conspiracy, anti-green initiatives, removal of women’s reproductive rights, and many others.

I’m well aware that someone who supports MAGA doesn’t necessarily support all these things. But they also knew what Maga stands for and aid their objectives anyway.

Maga might be my neighbor, but it doesn’t mean they’re good people, sensible, or of good morals, so I don’t see how that matters at all.

I’ve not heard a progressive person shriek about SoCiaLiZM because someone suggested outlawing gas stoves in favor of electric to save the environment, or who rolls coal, or distastes electrical power versus fossil fuels.

So I think Maga not liking ebikes or other EV things is actually pretty factual. There are many a post of shit heads blocking ev chargers with their lifted trucks. I wonder who those people might be on the political spectrum, not including my own personal experience.

You think Maga is buying ebikes? They shit themselves when they heard about gas stoves.

You’re looking for something that isn’t here (in this thread)

That’s a nest thermostat. Press the face inward to wake it, spin the dial to adjust settings.

Maybe it’s true that some people dont want to prosecute a former president, but we have to for the sake of our future.

Sounds right to me

I remember that, he installed it as a system app and would persist through a factory reset

Yeah, plenty are also a part of MAGA

+1 to steam sales being more worthwhile back then. I 1000% understand the ownership thing. I don’t think most people had to consider what digital purchases really could mean until Sony pulled purchased content out of people’s libraries.

I personally don’t think Steam is comparable to Sony apart from digital purchases. Steam or Valve aren’t beholden to large share holders because they aren’t publicly traded, I don’t think they’ll have the same objectives as Sony and prioritize their users instead of public shareholders.

I’d be happier if dedicated servers became the norm again for developers. Games wouldn’t disappear at the flick of a switch when servers are decommissioned.

How has steam experience been for you? I’ve been on steam for about 20 years and don’t recall they doing anything the likes of Sony doing to their customers.

You didnt answer the question in the first place. I asked your take on them, instead you provided 2 nouns as a response.

Listing off 2 items doesn’t answer my question, but not flat rejecting pedophilia tells me all I need.

Nor do you seem to know what FGM is in the first place. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation

There very much are things that are black and white, I think the majority would consider animal torture as black and white.

If nothing is black and white and context matters, could you please provide your take on when female genital mutilation is sometimes okay? Or when rape or pedophilia are okay in certain circumstances?

Bro, what? You’re okay with animal torture?

We’re talking about torture if an animal doing nothing except what it was born to do.

Torture of an animal has zero place in normality. Dispatching an animal that threatens your family or pets as a means to protect is one thing, torture is not acceptable under any circumstances.

Thanks, I think more people need to try approaching things like this and see how word substitution sounds.

Yeah, I’m not ruling out Israel unknowingly killing their own (or even knowingly I guess) but I think regardless if an explanation (that’s true) by either was possible, it’d be better.

Problem I think is why they don’t have them now if they had them at some point.

Unless they never had them to begin with; having people and now no longer having them points to killing them which, surprise, hurts negotiation.

Who knows though, Israel might of taken them for innocent Palestinians and did it to themselves :(
