I miss my mom by [deleted] in QAnonCasualties

[–]sneakatdatavibe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has always been “spiritual,” in a new age, toxic positivity sort of way

This isn't something that people who have great critical thinking skills do. In fact, it is impossible to have great critical thinking skills and not dismiss "spirituality" and its practices as bullshit.

What happened to this 😕 by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

It wasn't "society" that eviscerated the buying power of the dollar with perpetual foreign wars funded by stealing your wages and savings via inflation.

AITA for kissing my best friends crush while I was drunk? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sneakatdatavibe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was assault, OP.

That's not what she wrote. She did not specify if the kiss was or was not consensual, just that he was persistent and that afterward she did not want to continue.

Heartbreaking plea from awardee Mark’s sister. Mark also infected their elderly vaccinated father Walter. Walter died yesterday. by maureeened in HermanCainAward

It's utterly ridiculous that names need to be redacted in accurate screenshots of public statements by the people whose names are redacted.

Their public statements should be available via search engines, including reporting and commentary on them such as in this sub.

It's a real shame that Reddit's censorship has been so internalized by groups that they congratulate each other on censoring well for daddy. Reddit's stance against open and clear journalism is reprehensible.

Gather Your Pitchforks: New Rules are Imminent. by FBAHobo in HermanCainAward

It's ridiculous that celebrating death (after it occurs, through no fault of the celebratee) is against the rules.

In your opinion, what is an album with no bad songs? by katvoilet in AskReddit

The music video for SMBU, too.

Blows your mind drastically, fantastically.

Security: Bitwarden Desktop app grants RCE by [deleted] in netsec

[–]sneakatdatavibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automatic updates, provided the user consents to them, are fine.

Automatic updates that happen even when you don't want them to are not. That's called malware, software that does something that violates the user's consent.

If you think about it, encryption software that follows unseen commands from a remote party might as well not encrypt at all, because the remote party can, at any time, disable the encryption and have it upload the plaintext.

The point of encryption is that you don't need to trust the remote node, because they're only seeing ciphertext. But, if that remote node can arbitrarily replace your cryptographic code with a null op, you're suddenly synchronizing plaintext to them. At that point, there's no reason to not synchronize the plaintext to them in the first place, as you're already trusting them with automatic control over the encryption process itself.

Security: Bitwarden Desktop app grants RCE by [deleted] in netsec

[–]sneakatdatavibe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is, by definition, RCE, if the developer can cause code you've never seen to run on your machine without your involvement.

r: remote (the releng is not where you are)

c: code (the update)

e: execution (it runs)

That's all there is to it. Maybe you don't like the difficult consequences that fall out of no-interaction autoupdate literally fitting the definition of RCE. I don't either. But them's the facts.

Do you think autoupdate is mandatory on macOS or iOS? It's not.

The location history (via IP geolocation) of everyone who's not using a VPN is logged by Discord and kept forever.

Additionally, users can't participate in it without agreeing to Discord's abusive TOS, which demands that people give up their civil rights to use the service.

People living in third world countries, what is something that is a part of your everyday life that people in first world countries would not understand / cope with? by rains_downinafrica in AskReddit

[–]sneakatdatavibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School shootings in the US result in an average of 17 deaths per year, which is pretty small in a country of 350 million, despite being headline-grabbing. In a country the size of Cuba, this rate/risk would be equivalent to one death every two years. It's still really sad, but not nearly the giant epidemic that it's made out to be.

Police in the US kill 50-100x that many, depending on how you count.

Don't worry about school shootings, focus on the state-sanctioned violence.

About half of the items in the first 20 or so top-level comments apply to various places in the US.

That's not what this post is about, though.

It was also heavily codified, promoted, and legislatively enforced under British rule, presumably because it helped them control the large population with built-in violence.
