ROCK AND STONE BROTHER!

the binding of isaac and deep rock galactic. best games I’ve ever played oh and maybe minecraft (I’m 28 and the past 2 weeks got into the mc rabbit hole AGAIN)

huh, TIL, thanks

Damn I read “my cat needed to be enthusiased and I just received her ashes” and though WTF did you do to make her so excited?

side note: enthusiased is not an english word but in greek (ενθουσιασμενος) it makes sense and it translates to “excited”

that being good at your job doesn’t define you. it’s not a “trait”, it’s not a label. sometimes you’re good, sometimes you’re bad and sometimes you just are.

it’s just a job after all and a job should never be more than that: just a job

wait till you start the deep dives - it just gets better and better

rock and stone to the bone

it’s mainly text chat but it’s a ton of fun with friends (where i imagine you’d like voice chat)

rock and stone brother!

I’ll put my vote to Deep Rock Galactic for online. It’s a game (that you MUST check out) with one of the most wholesome communities ever. Most people are super nice in the chat and I’ve made a friend or two (for me that’s a lot - I’m extremely picky cause I feel very nice with the amount of friends I have already)

as more people use a software it’s not easier to find exploits but much more profitable - and you see that propagate, as in:

• More people start to use a software
• Inevitably it gets hacked - by a kid most probably
• The company starts panicking due to bad press
• They start fixing the security bugs
• (some years pass)
• Now its quite difficult to find exploit as many security bugs have been fixed
• Exploit prices skyrocket since it would affect many users and it’s difficult to develop
• Bug bounty skyrockets since the exploits are so pricey

Now the last 2 steps tend to cycle since the security of the product fluctuates

Now the above have nothing to do with “residual” products - such as custom roms. And actually, you have so many deeply specialized people around the main product that finding a bug and developing an exploit on the residual is just a matter of “who the fuck cares”.

So you’re basing your security of your phone on “care”, also known as security through obscurity (some times at least).

Another example of “who cares” security is libreoffice. When I started as a security engineer the veteran (and boss) referred to it as training material to find security bugs. I found some, but who cares? Ain’t nobody gonna pay for them as “nobody” uses the software (keep in mind that we’re referring to millions of daily users rather than thousands per month)

Sorry for sheet! ❤️ Be safe and use a password manager

hmmm depends on the phone and what you mean difficult. If you’ve managed to format a computer you’ll be fine. If you’re having trouble downloading chrome or office, maybe think about it again - I’m not saying you shouldn’t try or learn (everybody can learn), Im just saying that it will require an amount of time that I imagine would be uncomfortable to a user that don’t wanna bother downloading a program.

Not all people enjoy computers!

that “security update” quickly gets irrelevant as the exploits for lineage (or any non-standard rom) sells for pennies compared to a stock exploit. also no one’s paying security researchers to assess lineage - also it would be completely impossible with the amount of updates and devices they release

remember that (unfortunately) security is all about money

just a side note for graphene: i have the feeling that it’s not for everyone. “too much” security tends to get in the UX way
