QQ what do you guys think would be the last straw for her? I’d love to know all the deets
kthxbye
Yeah, but there are degrees of vulnerability. Otherwise, things like password strength or MFA wouldn’t matter.
If all your passwords are fully random, then that’s one less weakness that can be exploited. People can’t make educated guesses about your passwords just from analysing your social media profiles and history, e.g. if you post a lot about Star Wars, it’s more likely your passwords could contain a Star Wars reference.
That system is vulnerable to social engineering attacks. If hackers found out all their favourite things that lead to the core part of the password, guessing the prefix wouldn’t be that hard. Also, what would your friend do if one of these passwords got compromised and had to change it? Would he just add a 1 to the site-specific part of the password?

Actually, it’s a prairie dog.

Liam Mayfairto World News@lemmy.world•Pakistan claims it has ‘credible intelligence’ India will strike within 36 hoursEnglish1·2 months agoSure, on their own, but are they part of any defence treaties like NATO or have alliances with other countries strong enough to drag them into this conflict with Pakistan and start a world war?
Liam Mayfairto Technology@lemmy.world•I can't pay rent because devs just don't careEnglish2·2 months agoAgreed.
A lot of the time the cause of bad UX or poor quality code is not the Devs, but management, one way or another. Either through pressure to build more to increasingly delirious timelines or by not looking after their company culture.
You tend to see nonsensical, disjointed product UX and usability decisions a lot more in bigger, highly hierarchical organisations, with big teams, highly specialised, siloed ICs several levels removed from their end users by layers and layers of middle management fat.
I imagine if HSBC put out apps like OP’s article claims is because they probably follow a command and control structure like above, where developers are just tiny cogs hyper-focused on low-level tasks in a bigger, complex corporate machine and nobody really understands the full picture.
Liam Mayfairto Technology@lemmy.world•I can't pay rent because devs just don't careEnglish2·2 months agoBut you can validate the business rules with the people that make them: the business or your users?
I get some companies do things pretty fucking backwards and QA as a separate function is harmful, pointless and should be abandoned.
However, I don’t see how anyone from QA is going to physically stop your from testing and validating your code. As a dev, you could be more proactive in understanding what you’re building, why you’re building it, and how to make sure it works and it does what your stakeholders/users need it to do.
If you don’t, then refer to OP’s post.
Liam Mayfairto Technology@lemmy.world•“Bionic Girl” Debuts New Wireless Hands That Even Work When Detached From the Main ProstheticEnglish9·2 months agoYes they would, in theory, because those prosthetics she’s wearing were NHS-funded. I can see the waitlist to get ones like those being pretty fucking long though but hey, what NHS waitlist is not pretty fuck long these days anyway
Liam Mayfairto World News@lemmy.world•Pakistan claims it has ‘credible intelligence’ India will strike within 36 hoursEnglish351·2 months agoITT people claiming this could be a WW3 starter. Even if India engaged Pakistan militarily, I fail to see how that would lead to anything larger than a localised conflict.
Like, neither country is geopolitically significant enough for any major players to care at that level. Sure, India getting bogged down in war could affect supply chains around the world, but would any of the heavyweights like US, China, Russia or a semi-relevant NATO country think that would be worth their involvement? If Russia being on year 11 of their military invasion of a NATO-bordering country hasn’t sparked a world war yet, I don’t see how this would either.
I didn’t know this. That’s so wholesome and adorable!
