“Only 25? That’s a steal!”

Wait Sudo?

You guys don’t log in with root, and remove the password to make it easier to log on faster? It’s a little configuration but definitely worth it for time.

I’m sure she’s a programmer. But she’s a programmer who drops her Stack Overflow score… let’s just say that’s a red flag in my book. (For all programmers).

For non programmers, it’s like someone dropping their reddit karma score, or the number of their subscribers on Youtube as the first thing they say. Basically “my most important accomplishment is some rather unimportant digits”.

(Views matter far more than subscribers on youtube, mostly because subscribers can easily be manipulated)

There’s three big problems with this.

A. You’re now allowing people to hop, and even name change. Let’s say they’ll allow that. But I think both of those are things that will have to be agreed upon if it’s done at all.

B. You’re missing the password. Every instance should have a unique salt, passwords should NEVER be reversible, and never be stored insecurely (AKA before salting the hash for instance). I use a different password for every site, but I’ve had sites tell me “Your password is X” … holy shit that’s a HUGE security flaw for multiple reasons.

So if I’m migrating and don’t need to set a new password, that’d be questionable.

C. This can be done unscrupulously. If I get control of someone’s account, I can migrate it and essentially steal all their accounts and posts. For 99 percent of us who cares, but let’s say there’s a post from “Justin Bieber” and I get his account, migrate it, use a new password, and now make his posts say “I don’t suck cocks”…

It’s probably more important when it’s a big game studio who posts update and such to Lemmy somewhere but the point is accounts will have a huge value eventually, letting you migrate it with a click might be dangerous.

Legally they had been served, so there was nothing they could do about it.

Somehow I doubt this.

Maybe it’s true but legally I know in California you are required to do your briefs in 12 point font. While that’s briefs, I would imagine evidence would be under the same banner. It definitely WOULD be illegal to do it in 1 pt font or intentionally making it unreadable. I would imagine if the other side wanted to make it an issue they could back to the judge and he’s probably have it out with you.

Maybe the lawyers wisely replaced your malicious compliance with correct sized print with out telling you, maybe the other side didn’t care.

It should be VIM

No one comes back from VIM.

Those who say they have are dirty liars… or have it paused in the background.

Are you talking about “Wanted lady who didn’t pay her bar tab?” that sounds like a bounty hunt quest.

Reddit’s decline is greatly exaggerated.

This is more akin to if you sold a fatty food in a supermarket and someone died from being overweight.

Radicalizing someone to do this isn’t a crime. Freedom of speech isn’t absolute but unless someone gives them actual orders it would still be protected.

Don’t apply UK’s lack of freedom of speech in American courts.

Now lift it up 11 more times. You’ve done a set… do it four more times, move on to the next object.

(I think OP is more talking about thinks you can’t bring to a scale)
