Forcing password changes too frequently is actually a security risk, as it encourages bad practices like re-use, iteration, keyboard walks and writing the passwords down.

There are reasonable limits to impose on this, and educating users with demonstrations such as haveibeenpwned have been highly effective in my experience.

History is written not by the victor, but by academics, and if there’s one thing intelligent people agree on it is that Trump is a fucking moron.

History will not be kind.

It would be such a game changer for the US, there are still people who ‘donkey vote’ which is either leaving a ballot empty or drawing dicks on it, but it means a far more balanced political spectrum.

Congrats you just realised the mygov ID is being slowly but surely pushed towards being mandatory for access to any online services.

Is this a meme Im too ublocked up to get?

I didn’t say sex was a spectrum

It helps if you read and comprehend the comment chain to understand what is being discussed before you jump in with ‘I didn’t say that’ when I never claimed you did.

I don’t see why it’s so hard for you to actually read the comment chain. It is right there. You can re-read it at any time.

She’s in the passenger seat, you can see the car in the background is also right hand drive

I think I was fairly clear, it is a binary system that has some rare exceptions.

Saying sex is a binary is saying there are only males and only females.

In healthy examples of mammals where development has occurred normally this is true.

This whole ‘its a spectrum’ argument is like saying humans aren’t bipedal, there’s a spectrum because some people are born without legs! It doesn’t make any sense.

That doesn’t mean that society should refuse to accept, include and support people born without the ability to walk.

their existence proves that sex isn’t just a binary.

This argument has always struck me as odd as in virtually every other discussion we would accept that the exception ‘proves the rule’.

Humans have two hands, except when they don’t due to something impacting fetal development.

Humans have two kidneys, except when they don’t due to an error in fetal development or as a result of disease or injury.

There’s diversity to sex that requires a more complicated scheme to account for everybody.

Or just let the exceptions be exceptions with no social stigma rather than refusing to recognise that the vast majority of humans, and mammals, can be accurately identified as one of two distinct sexes.

Apparently it was stomach cancer that did Napoleon in, though arsenic was suspected.

Lead in paints and even makeup can be traced back to the Roman Empire. It was popular long before the 1900’s!

Lead makes yellow and red paints have a wonderfully bright colour.

Many children’s toys had lead paint because of course the kids liked the brighter colours.

Kids also love to chew on toys… and the lead paint even tastes sweet. It was always a recipe for disaster.

Honestly Korean brands are just not options anymore, between the ads from LG and Samsung, and the spying by Hyundai and Kia there’s simply no reason to buy their products.

The woman on the left looks strong, determined and capable.

The woman on the right looks disingenuous, fake and somehow predatory.

There is a whole universe of resources and our needs for them will never be fully satisfied. Every step towards cleaner, more sustainable energy is a good one.

The Romans would have nuked themselves first with how many times they overthrew themselves.

The problem is that it isn’t an alternative, it is an additional and it does not benefit users in any way.

It’s just another source of telemetry for advertisers and won’t stop any of the existing methods of tracking.

Mozilla have made a series of unpopular choices, especially their enabling of telemetry for advertisers that does nothing to benefit users.

It is no surprise some people are vocally unhappy.

Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders did none of these things, though they did find great ways to stab each other without swords.

YouTube has a monopoly and it’s no surprise people are frustrated, especially those who aren’t tech aware enough to continue blocking ads.
