slurpyslop,

the democrat party will lose if a segment of their voter base abstains from voting

and

the democrat platform can afford to completely ignore a segment of their voter base so doesn't need to adjust their platform

are two mutually exclusive positions

slurpyslop,

can't withhold a vote because policy won't change because if it did people would withhold their vote and then the policy would change

slurpyslop, (edited )

They compromise on that issue and their other views to vote for whoever is closest.

so hypothetically, you think single-issue gun control republicans are willing to compromise on gun control?

or a strawman if you prefer

literally not even the part you were strawmanning and you very obviously know that

you mysteriously dropped that half of your argument idk why

slurpyslop,

yes he signed in legislation, his voter base responded, and he dropped gun control from his platform

look at his stance now

almost like this was a direct consequence of the pushback SUPER weird that your voter base abandoning you leads to change in your platform

slurpyslop,

Exactly, I think you got it.

trump tried to enact a little bit of gun control, it was basically the only thing his voter base ever pushed back on, but they pushed back very hard, and he very quickly dropped it

so demonstrably your understanding of republicans is wrong, so i don't know where this leaves you

slurpyslop,

The Republican voter says "that's okay, I'll have the supreme pizza because it's pretty close". So the single issue Republican voter gets pizza and the Republican candidate gets elected.

compromise with a middle ground is literally the opposite of single issue and it's insane that you're still trying to pretend it isn't

single issue isn't "ham is kind of like pepperoni"

single issue is "pepperoni or i don't eat pizza"

republican voters only want pepperoni

slurpyslop,

it's not a mistake because it's not a real rule

This isn't an example of how modern English is going to the dogs. Less has been used this way for well over a thousand years—nearly as long as there's been a written English language. But for more than 200 years almost every usage writer and English teacher has declared such use to be wrong. The received rule seems to have originated with the critic Robert Baker, who expressed it not as a law but as a matter of personal preference. Somewhere along the way—it's not clear how—his preference was generalized and elevated to an absolute, inviolable rule.

one less thing for you to worry about

"it's not wasteful because now they're only wasting less resources"

slurpyslop,

oh no their ai is broken they're stuck in a loop

slurpyslop,

But NFTs aren't wasteful.

i feel this take is a pretty good justification not to care about your opinion on things

slurpyslop,

the citation is because the only way you could claim ai isn't in a hype cycle at the moment is if you don't know that that's a defined term within tech spaces

slurpyslop,

people still use nfts

slurpyslop,
  • nfts are wasteful
  • your justification for ai not being a wasteful use of resources is that you personally use them
  • people still use nfts
slurpyslop,

As for AI training, that produces AIs. It's not wasteful.

👀

slurpyslop,

yeah because if musk wasn't involved, lemmy's community always loves news on the latest ai hype cycle

slurpyslop,

Ah yes, the wrong kind of technology.

what point do you think you're making here?

it's /c/technology, not "/c/unquestionedpraisefortechnology"

If it's a "hype cycle" I guess it'll be going away aaaaaany day now.

my guy even people within the ai r&d sphere acknowledge that it's a hype cycle

slurpyslop,

"it's not wasteful because now they're only wasting less resources"

slurpyslop,

I use NFTs for a variety of productive purposes. You may not, and that's fine, but that's just you. You can't dismiss anything that you personally don't have a use for as "wasteful."

Steps 2 and 3 of your method already make it way too hard to remember

Just pick like 6 random, unconnected, reasonably uncommon words and make that your entire password

Capitalize the first letter and stick a 1 at the end

The average English speaker has about 20k words in their active vocab, so if you run the numbers there's more entropy in that than in your 11 character suggestion.

Alternatively use your method but deliberately misquote it slightly and then just keep it in its full form.

slurpyslop, (edited )

Step 2 is “hard”? Seriously???

I don't know how you're meant to remember that "Works" and "Mighty" are capitalized

In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn't add any meaningful entropy.

If you try to harden it further, by using more words

Yours doesn't scale due to step 3.

On the other hand, much like battery staple, it's pretty easy to make up a visual or story in your head to connect the words.

Also, why would you need to scale this past 6 words? At that point it's already more likely that your password is compromised via a keylogger or similar than anything else.

Even in English, a language that typically uses short words, your method requires ~30 characters per password.

I'll accept this as a downside of the method, but honestly a website that limits your password character length to under 30 is probably doing some other weird shit that isn't good.

Also, the only time you should really be using this method is if for some reason you don't want to use a password manager. Not many scenarios like that that also limit characters.

yet the harder to remember

I feel like the exact opposite is true? Pretty easy to remember "defenestrate". Much easier than remembering which m turns into a 3 in your method.

The 11 characters password is not the suggestion, but an example,

I'm aware how examples work. It's 11 characters long and already too hard to remember.

slurpyslop,

pick a quote that you know by heart

so step 1 is actually "learn a long, obscure quote by heart" because obviously it can't be a common quote or it completely breaks the method, and the only quotes you're likely to know are common

you're right this is so easy

 

you’re still confusing the example with what it exemplifies.

In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn't add any meaningful entropy.

 

At this rate it’s rather clear that you’re unable to parse simple sentences,

somebody's a little spicy over the fact that they gave terrible advice :(

slurpyslop,

skeletons and filth everywhere EXCEPT the gem

slurpyslop,

"GPUs on linux are pretty much solved" was he high when he wrote the script

slurpyslop,

the only solution is to buy so many stickers that you couldn't possibly use them all in your lifetime

slurpyslop,

it was the WEIRDEST bug in our chess ai you guys

the pawn captured another pawn that was NEXT TO IT
