Americans merely adopted the nonsensical measurements. The Brits were born to them.

I think it'll actually be Xarmageddon, which is like Armageddon, but much more woke.

I'm surprised he hasn't changed his name to Elon Mux by now.

Ok but who actually doesn’t know what a magazine is

Kbin devs, apparently.

It's not the worst strategy (and is actually referred to as 'peppering' your password)... but if your primary use-case is websites and mobile apps, using a password manager like Bitwarden and randomly generated strong passwords is still a better strategy (and probably faster too, since you don't need to type it out manually anymore, and/or remember which flex you used when creating your 'peppered' password).

This is a good approach if you have to login to services that aren't via a web browser though - e.g. Remote desktops etc.

Again, revenue. They report revenue because it's a nice big number, but it's different to profit (which is why a lot of people suspect they don't make much actual money, if any).

Revenue, sure - I don't believe Google shares profit numbers for Youtube separately to the rest of the portfolio. I could be misinformed though.

Like legit, some of these comments are utterly deranged. YouTube has ZERO competition in the mass market consumer space, everyone else is a niche player, and it's debatable whether YouTube even turns a profit despite that.

I don't think broad brushstrokes are helpful here - regular people can be real assholes, and we need to balance a public servant's individual right to privacy with the public's right to transparency.

Some jobs such as Police Officers, I have no qualms with filming while they're in uniform or otherwise on-the-job. But I can also see how a blanket approval could backfire, e.g. some aggrieved person decides to stalk some poor guy who's only job is to center divs on some government website, just because they find out he's a government worker.

I had this exact fight with my team several months ago, and lost to popular opinion since the rest of my team are either zoomers or indifferent.

Wait... People are calling the emergency phone line after getting scammed? Wonder if that's just Zoomers being too dumb to avoid scams but not dumb enough to think an emergency phone call will help.

I think this is technically a loop.
