A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Effort or no, if an attacker can reasonably bypass it, it's not secure. That's why software gets security patches all the time, why encryption/hashing algorithms can fall out of favor, and why quantum computing can be pretty fucking scary.
No system is secure.

The votes are not on your side
I didn't say it's secure, I just said it's security.
Surely you understand how a stupid response to a silly statement like it is one of the sayings of all time can be appropriate in humorous situations, right?
I understand that you did not find it funny, but I hope that you can understand that it was my intention to be funny, and therefore a serious response is disproportionate.
When "hundredths fractions of security" fails to get a laugh, I know I'm in the wrong group of people.
It definitely was lol
Kinda was. Sry.
No, in this case it's true independent of my opinion or perspective.
I'm sorry if I made you upset. Honestly.
Ofc I have no work regarding that because I was shitposting. I was hoping you'd take things a bit more lightly.
Personally, I'm a bit within the autism spectrum. When I was a kid I had a lot of trouble with some social hints that other people seemed to pick up really fast. With time some of those things I've learnt to pick up better, and others not so much. Also got bullied and that wasn't fun.
My impression of this situation is that you misread a social hint, which is fine, and then got a little bit defensive about it, which is also fine. I can understand that. Has happened to me a billion times and I'm not as graceful as you are.
It's just like.. For me it was better to, at some point, stop resisting the pain of accepting I didn't read these things as well as others did and just admitting "sorry, sometimes i don't get when ppl are joking" because it reminded me of being in the spectrum and therefore different... For me, this was unthinkable... So I kept insisting on points when many others were telling me, with relative compassion, that I may have made a mistake.
I don't care about the issue we were talking about anymore. Just want you to understand that even if I do believe you made a mistake in reading the situation, It's not what I now consider relevant of this conversation, don't think you were wrong in your perspective regarding security and I'm not laughing at you. I'm not doing anything at your expense. Just sharing a personal difficulty with you for your own possible benefit.
Idk if you can relate, but if you can maybe it could help.
Peace, friend, and have a great week. <3
No, you misunderstood. I do care, but not about the issue. About you.
I could be wrong about the issue.
I'm sorry I upset you, but yes, you were coming off a little emotional.
I didn't mean to be rude.
What I shared was a personal story about my life which is painful for me to remember. I don't go around sharing shit stuff with people who want to harm me. I share it with people who i think could benefit from it.
I really hope you have an awesome day cause to me, regardless of anything that's been said, you seem like an awesome person. <3
You too friend, and sorry for being mean.
I thought you were being serious as well. I've dealt with enough people who would genuinely make that argument so I assume nothing.
How about 0.001 security?
