I vote by using a whiteboard marker on my monitor, that way no one can steal my lucky charms.

100% slop

yes, would you like me to list them? /s

No one existed before password managers

I plant to ignore the subject in future (and should have already done so here), it has proven to be ridiculous in the past due to the whole fan culture thing, and it has been none of my business since I walked away from my subscription a year, or 2 ago.

“personal experiences and judgments” definitively, but even in the very recent past (the google bollocks --> lake america) proton was being widely recommended as the replacement, and the masses were just gobbling it up without appearing to put any effort in. proton might lose fewer customers than they just gained.

It’s an unfortunate reality, very poorly (too honestly?) worded by Andy.

Consumers need to do much better in that respect, we need to hold corporations, and politicians to account, we need to put more effort into our choices.

Proton have marketed themselves exceptionally well, comments suggesting they are not what they seem have always been met with a lot of downvotes. They marketed themselves into a brand receiving the same blind adoration as a sporting tam.

We do, but we are not always aware of whether/how we are being deliberately manipulated in any thread.

I never understood why someone would use a 3rd party for “password management”

“such a lemmy moment” 🤣🥱

ai, protecting people from ai.

I recommend uBlacklist to correct this.

Slop by any other name…

I’m assuming the majority of posts are slop now, there are a couple of dedicated opensourceai subreddits, I would prefer such a thing existed here as well, with a blanket ban in this one.

I only use mutable linux systems, otherwise they never shut up.

Your struggle is very real.

Off course being an ignorant makes someone wrong.

Being ignorant does not make someone wrong

That isn’t user error, that is very deliberate opt in as default, knowing that most people are zombies.

Opted out should be the default, those who wish to use ai should have to opt in, but also lose their right to vote, breed, or drive.

The issue with it is that most people don’t ever look in their settings.
