Fuck, that’s a hard choice. I’m either sitting with moth gang or spider gang, but the bees are a great choice too.

Then you should set a password. It shouldn’t be forced for everyone.

me on my way to kill baby hitler 2

It’s randomly generated, brute forcing it should take years.

Cool, so they use any number of exploits to simply go around the password. The point isn’t that a password is easy to get through (just like a locked door isn’t easy to get through) it is that if you’re facing a determined attacker it doesn’t matter how secure it is. If they have physical unsupervised access to your PC, you’ve already lost.

Fortunately for us all, these determined attackers do not exist. Nobody’s breaking my windows to boot up my fucking PC. The situation in which a password would help you is if someone has gone to the effort to bypass the physical security on your home, and then has no plan to deal with a password locked computer. They just take one look at it and go “welp, that’s it, everybody crawl back through the window then, watch the glass shards” Instead of picking up the entire PC and walking off with it, or yanking out the hard drives, or booting into their own preferred OS on a USB, or whatever else would actually happen if these made up attackers were real.

If the government wants to fabricate a reason to prosecute me they’ll just bring some drugs to my house, the idea that they would go in with the plan to plant incriminating files on my computer (instead of just lying that there were incriminating files / showing a completely fake computer???) and then be foiled by a fucking password box and go “damn, he’s too clever for us, I guess we have to let him go” is just BEYOND ridiculous

Nobody lives with you?

My grandmother, who has no interest in my computer.

Or visits you?

No

You don’t use a laptop ever?

No

What if someone does get through your locks?

What if someone guesses your password? Why don’t you keep your computer in a custom built safe bolted to the floor? There’s always another level of security you could hypothetically require, I just live in reality where the truth is no one is touching my computer.

there’s basically no downside to it.

It takes a second or so every time (sometimes a couple of seconds, I’m not always booting my computer with the intent to type shit immediately) which adds up over time. Sometimes I mistype, wasting 10+ seconds. And the benefit of this mild inconvenience is nothing.

I never used a password on Windows because I’ve never seen a reason for one. No one touches my computer. That’s what the physical locks on my doors are for.

I only use a password in Linux because it forces me to. The first thing I tried to do was disable it.

fuckin grass pretending to be trees, i see through those fuckers

Yo, that’s a great tip. Thanks.

Two husbands, a wife, and a talking battleaxe spouse that doesn’t seem interested in answering questions about gender.

or like, piss on the ground

ive honestly never understood the desire to piss against a wall or tree or whatever, except for a little bit of privacy when you’re around other people like when camping.

Adobe products suck so fucking much, all of the linux alternatives I’ve used are better in every way (for my purposes)

Yes

So true bestie, the only options are Trump being president forever or electing a spineless useless democrat for 4 years who will gladly hand over the reins to a lifetime dictatorship of Tucker Carlson or Charlie Kirk’s Ghost As Interpreted By ChatGPT or whatever the fuck. I can’t think of anything else we could possibly do.

Only if his PR team can find a catchy “governator” equivalent. So far I’m coming up blank on that one

Laws aren’t real. They only matter if they are enforced, which Trump has thoroughly proven over the last 10 years doesn’t happen to presidents/presidential candidates. I swear as soon as someone who doesn’t have pudding for brains realizes that “nuh uh” is an absolute defense against any law in this country they’ll be unstoppable.

False, that fatass fuckin cat definitely caused that dent

Pretty much everything about drow lore is mega yikes tbh. It’s no surprise that PF2E was basically like “no fuck you theres no such thing as a drow, leave them in the past”

This is a good idea

lol this is one of the worst ideas in history

I think this is from Raised by Wolves, which is a wacky ass scifi thing.
