I would prefer my privacy software to be developed by people like this, rather than people who are calm and flexible

Most of the sites you are talking about use mail services run by oligarchs and large corporations. I’m pretty sure 95% any mail you receive is stored and scanned by multiple governments.

And unless the mail is double encrypted on both sides it’s going to also be read.

If you use tor, the browser will suggest the site when you get on a Reddit page, at least using old Reddit, if you don’t have the suggestions turned off in settings ( by default they are on)

I have not used Reddit it in two years , but it used to work ok in tor onion URL

I think Reddit’s onion site still works.

A lot of people are compelled to hurt others, it doesn’t have to be only about money.

And the ways this happens is not always physically violent. Many are compulsed to scam or betray in subtle ways.

Website owners are no different than any other group of people, and they often skew to compulsive dishonesty.

Why? Because often to get a site up and running with real traffic, dirty and dishonest tricks are used. Unless a site is truly different or outstanding , there is quite a story about how it got popular. Often involving both money and questionable ethics.

Having seen the internal workings of a few of these random services, not very safe at all.

It’s not just shoddy work, or a lax security policy. There is real money to be made by bringing unethical, and there is nothing to stop many website owners from just selling the data. It’s not like there are consequences to selling it.

I have a feeling this happens a lot

One of the victims was killed by the police, another wounded by them.

Security through obesity also

I think that is an excellent selection for people wanting to double down on that strategy.

But for my area, I choose other ways to do the above

Democracy was first formed by powerful people in city states so they could rule jointly.

It really has not evolved much beyond that. Except in very small countries, today it merely means oligarchy.

While it is often better than despotic, autocratic or monarchy. At the end of the day, the ultimate tests are: how the working classes fare; the happiness index of the majority; how much corruption is in the government; how fair the justice system is; life expectancy; and access to medicine and treatments.

Democracies are overrated, but yes

Dictating all social services leave back doors for meta to monitor… wow, this one may beat the Americans in the race for criminal stupidity

When adding code this way, one needs to look it over and read to fix bugs or things that are not quite correct; stats show experienced developers often are faster not using this approach because debugging existing code takes longer than writing it fresh.

The speed is not the issue.

What matters is sometimes subtle bugs are introduced that require several people to catch. If at all. These issues might be unique to the Llm.

Having large sections of generated code offers the possibility of hard to find problems.

Some codes are more sensitive to such issues.

The details of how the code was added, and what it does, may render this issue harmless or very much a problem to be avoided.

This is why it’s a flag and not a condemnation

Now with LLMs to provide extra security (not)

LLM is avoided by many experienced developers and competent medium and small companies.

Tools like cursor are sometimes ok for small things like people learning, or to generate boilerplate.

But it is seen by some as a warning flag when it’s in source code for larger projects
