Imgur users on ‘new’ once ran an experiment for a day where they upvoted basically anything — in practice, oddest and weirdest stuff bubbled up. I've never seen such entertaining feed before or after.

Passwords are typically sent to the server and hashed there. I'm a bit hazy right now on the implications of client-side hashing, but it would likely present some security problems.

Edit: at the least, it would allow an attacker to use a leaked password database to log in to the sites, sidestepping the whole hashing thing.

There are protocols that send a hashed or encrypted password instead of plaintext, but they're more complex than just hashing. Iirc they involve a challenge-and-response method.

I remember when Wine was in alpha for twelve years (and then beta for three more). Was surprised to learn that it finally exited that stage, some time ago already.

One of the best things you can do to fix a tight budget is to stop buying fast food.

You mean the only sci-fi franchise with even more talking than in ‘Star Trek’?

Just checked, and I can only last thirty seconds at a rather feeble rate. Apparently the device is for people who trained their lung capacity in the childhood.

As per tradition, Rolling Stone's article: ‘Dick Cheney, Iraq war architect and “War on Terror” mastermind, dead at 84’.

From the producers of ‘Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies’ and ‘Henry Kissinger, Notorious War Criminal, Lauded By Media’.

Germans in the southern hemisphere... Where have I heard it before... 🤔

Nice to see that Reddit's pointless arguments exist on Lemmy too. I'm gonna feel at home here.

That worked hilariously in ‘Deus Ex’ when a friend had both of Denton's legs shot to shit. Denton crawled around for hours, then stood right up in a cutscene, and after it ended, flopped back on the ground and resumed crawling.

Afaik he sorta changed his position later on, or rather said that he would be making content for phones from then on. I imagine he still wasn't happy with watching a traditional film on a phone.

‘Twin Peaks’ is definitely the case where the film was made for those who already saw the series. Basically, one can treat it as a flashback in the series. Kinda the same way as flashbacks in ‘Simpsons’ and such are not to be watched first.
