It's an acronym, it means "But It's Not Good"

It might, if it worked well, but that's a big "if" and as I suggested in my original post I don't think it's particularly likely they'll do it either way

Car companies won't be happy until cars become yearly upgrade items like phone companies have convinced us to do with mobile phones

But not as much on the lower end models... That's what's confusing to me.

I've got a few capacitive buttons in my car, none of them critical, but I'd gladly replace them with the physical buttons in the lower tier version of that car...

Like, how is this considered the nicer option? Hell, I think they're actually cheaper for the manufacturer than proper buttons at this point...

But sure, I really want to have to try three times to turn the vented seats on because I don't hit the exact right spot on the pad, only to accidentally switch it to the heated seats in triple digit weather while reaching for the AC knob (which actually is physical, thankfully)

As a long time StarCraft fan since the first one released, i 100 percent agree

StarCraft 2 is the most recent and it released in 2010 I believe

There'd be no reason to. Anymore, I think they'd be more likely than that to try to port their Xbox game store to Linux than try to kill Linux gaming (though I doubt they'll do that either)

So, if it's so much worse than the old/current layout, they're almost guaranteed to adopt it fully

googie can't help but fuck up good things

I mean, they do realize that interest in a game wiki will die out over time, right?

That's fair

It's still a rather large pool to crack through even without adding more than the 1000 most common words, extra digits, minimal character substitution, capitalization tweaks, etc

Absolutely agreed on that... Got a fair number of companies I'd like to see taken over by the people working them or the communities they serve

Okay, that's fair... Not sure how I missed that context but that's totally on me

That's only really true if you're going to be storing the password in a secure vault after randomly generating it; otherwise, it's terrible because 1) nobody will be able to remember it so they'll be writing it down, and 2) it'll be such a pain to type that people will find ways to circumvent it at every possible turn

Pass phrases, even when taken with the idea that it's a limited character set that follows a semi predictable flow, if you look at it in terms of the number of words possible it actually is decently secure, especially if the words used are random and not meaningful to the user. Even limiting yourself to the 1000 most common words in the English language and using 4 words, that's one trillion possible combinations without even accounting for modifying capitalisation, adding a symbol or three, including a short number at the end...

And even with that base set, even if a computer could theoretically try all trillion possibilities quickly, it'll make a ton of noise, get throttled, and likely lock the account out long before it has a chance to try even the tiniest fraction of them

Your way is theoretically more secure, but practically only works for machines or with secure password storage. If it's something a human needs to remember and type themselves, phrases of random words is much more viable and much more likely to be used in a secure fashion.

Yep, not seeing any downside here, bring on the bling

And bling for everyone!

I see no downside here...

If regulation didn't work, corpos wouldn't fight so hard to dismantle them every step of the way. If they didn't work, we wouldn't see things get markedly worse every time they're removed.

And ancap just sounds like all the worst bits of libertarianism taken to their illogical extreme and would produce one of the worst possible societies imaginable so why do any people here not hate ancap?

Only when you actually want it to reboot on its own

When you don't want that, need it to wait for some reason, that's when it remembers how to reboot on its own

Everyone has a test environment

Some are lucky enough to also have a separate production environment

Probably 6.06, the first LTS release and the only one to date that was delayed from the usual April/October release timeframe

I remember being pretty excited for it
