Google maps navigation, web browsing, YouTube, music streaming, WhatsApp, email, social media apps for entertainment, news apps, notes app, to do app, public transit app, ebook and audiobook apps, utility apps, good camera, good screen, good speakers. If I consider all this there is just no way to go back to the old school flip phones or the candy at phones with the T9 keypad for me, best thing I can do is hide all the apps I don't want to be distracted by, put app locks on the addictive ones and just be mindful of the time I spend on my phone and figure out other ways to spend my time like dedicated ebook readers or paper books and other activities

Same as your cola gets it's cola flavor, food scientists can synthesize a wide variety of flavors that mimick different things

Thanks for explaining this and including the picture

Yeah this is why I hate making plans, no one else puts in any effort into finding things to do or they don't want to pay for anything and then every outing becomes sitting in a bar shooting shit or going to a movie that either I don't care for or the others don't, I usually just do things by myself these days and I enjoy it a lot more, maybe someday I'll find friends with common interest I actually want to hang out with, for now I've become very comfortable being by myself

You think they will parole him or convert it to house arrest?

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

He's 70, so this sentence is likely life in prison for him, unless he gets parole or some other bullshit like that, which he does not deserve. Make an example out of those who try to fuck with the democratic process or you end up like US today.

How dumb can you be

So is this user specific salt word stored in a table somewhere, how does the company decrypt a salted password otherwise, and so if the salt is also stored somewhere alongside the encrypted password, couldn't the hacker get his hands on both the salt and the password and use that to figure out the password?

Stuff like this can happen to any app, developers are only human, shit happens. A bigger company is a bigger target for hackers, so there is some saftey in an open source app that's not as popular, but then again a bigger company also has more resources to monitor for security breaches and quickly address them and push out a hot fix, can't say I know how this works for free open source apps

I'm sure they are not sitting on their hands but if someday it started affecting their profits at a larger level, they'd put far more resources into anti ad block I think than they do now, also Chrome has already made ad blockers difficult to run on chrome which I guess was their endgame, thankfully non chrome based browsers like Firefox and Safari still exist so I'll continue supporting them, hopefully ladybird is also successful
