Who the fuck would be in the favour of fascists…?

Franco did not sire the entire Spanish population.

No, but he did kill, or drive into exile or poverty and political irrelevance anyone who didn’t share his views.

Most of the surviving population, especially the ones with economic and political power, were fascists. Their children were fascists. Their grandchildren were fascists wearing progressive masks. And their great grandchildren are fascists who’ve taken off their masks.

When the bastard said he left everything “tied up and well tied up” he wasn’t kidding.

Germany was forced to clean up house, though.

Franco died in bed (in extreme agony, apparently; the only good thing the bastard ever did; but still), naming his successor, whose son is the current unelected parasite on the throne. The dictator’s children and grandchildren are public figures, celebrated and followed by embarrassingly large portions of the population.

The murderers and torturers who worked for him kept their jobs, were forgiven all their crimes, and their children and grandchildren succeed them (old money and contacts in high places go a long way towards winning elections).

The supposed “transition” merely put some new wallpaper on top of the existing structures, with a watered down constitution voted under military threats: vote for it, or else, even going as far as staging a coup attempt so that Franco’s successor could “save the day”, become a hero, and water the new supposed democracy down even further.

Do not compare Spain to Germany. It’s extremely insulting to Germany.

Most other states tend not to celebrate their raping, murdering, and pillaging as a national holiday, though.

And there’s also the fact that most Spanish politicians are descendants of those that served under the coupist dictator Franco (who nominated the current parasite in chief’s father as his successor), and share the same political views, as does a nauseatingly high portion of the population.

Move on

No.

We’re talking about Donald Trump here… you could replace him with an animatronic muppet and the only thing people would notice is that he looked healthier and didn’t smell as bad.

Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

Also, Hanlon’s razor just means that in normal circumstances stupidity is the simplest and most likely explanation, but malice is still a possibility, and these are far from normal circumstances… you’ve got a significant portion of the population which is both extremely stupid and extremely malicious…

That’s their end goal: no choice whatsoever, you watch 30 minutes of ads, followed by the 30 second video the algorithm wants you to watch (which is also an ad), 30 more minutes of ads, and so on.

And, since they also own chrome, you can’t go to any other page without first spending at least six hours watching youtube.

Hard drive space might be bottlenecked by the holographic principle.

people need to use these tools responsibly

Have you met people…?

That’s tragic, LG monitors used to be great.

But it’s trivial to torrent their content at whatever resolution I want…

Because they’re not pro life, they’re pro suffering.

And they want to control others (against their will if possible), so ending someone’s life and forcing someone to gestate a baby or die in the process fall in exactly the same bag.

Look, we’re talking people who call ninety-nine “four twenty ten nine”; you can’t expect them to name things properly.

Yeah, he meant to say IBS.

I can have 20,000 character long passwords with a password manager

Sure. Most websites will either truncate them or outright reject them due to being too long, but sure.

Most users, however, will use the 12 to 16 characters auto-generated ones, though, which are sufficiently hard to crack (though not as much as an easy to remember passphrase, not that it matters; the easy to remember part is what matters about passphrases).

that makes it significantly less secure

No it doesn’t. Even if a few of the passphrases leak, your algorithm, if well chosen, shouldn’t be easy to reverse engineer… and unless someone is specifically targeting you (and has access to enough of your passphrases) there’s much easier fish to catch; if a leaked passphrase doesn’t work in other sites, no one will waste time trying to figure out if it has some logic to it.

I could have 20,000 character completely unique passwords with a password manager

No you couldn’t. You’d have one password and one password manager (which would have all “your” other passwords; as would anyone else with access to your password manager).

Until you lose access to your password manager, of course… which is bound to eventually happen, due to hardware or software issues or loss of the device if it’s local, or due to network issues, the provider discontinuing the service, or inevitable enshittification if it’s online.

And, of course, you’ll have a single point of attack from which your password can be leaked (or sold, if it’s an online service) or stolen.

vastly more complex passwords

Complexity is practically irrelevant when compared to length when it comes to passwords. That’s the point of passphrases.

do you actually expect people to remember 100+ unique phrases

You can have a small number of passphrases and simply choose one and add a word or two based on the site. It’s trivial to “remember” an infinite number of unique passphrases if you’ve got an algorithm. 🤷‍♂️

This assumes a) passwords, and b) poor passwords at that.

Passphrases are easy to remember, extremely hard to crack, and easily customisable for every site, and you don’t need no fucking password manager to store them.

Though I’ll give you this: password managers are not, after all, necessarily single points of failure.

If you need a password manager to manage your passwords you’re a much more vulnerable point of failure than your password management bloatware itself.

My brain. A password manager seems like a completely unnecessary single point of failure.

Reality has the bad habit of often being unrealistic.
