What a great ad.

Which is why I said “linux as a whole”. Many distros will try to undo the nerdery and neckbeardism that is built into the parent distros but as a whole, linux is going to always be less welcoming to a new user than someone that’s used to useless warnings and repeated password entries for elevated privileges. Being safer and being new-user-friendly rarely go hand in hand.

Yes but surely you’re aware that even the most new-user-friendly distros and their tools aren’t necessarily aimed at new users.

That warning is a perfect example of how Linux developers choose which hill to die on. They post a warning for an app that everyone knows can deliver bad times to two camps of users; those that know and don’t care and those that don’t understand the warning. If we could quantify the helpfulness of that warning, odds are that it saved 0 users from malicious action from that avenue of attack.

Never expect Linux as a whole to be “helpful” to the new crowd.

That might not work either. If a server marks it as spam, we do something called blackholing the email, meaning we discard the email and close the connection without responding to the sending server. This is done in an effort to provide as little info as possible to a bad actor.

If you don’t send an email from a server and address deemed reputable and with a low enough spam score, you’ll be shut down by more than 95% of the mail servers out there.

There’s really not enough info here to help you. Are you looking for software? Writing it from scratch? Web tool? Bulk or not?

I don’t know how many addresses you plan on testing on any one server but we’ve been on to this trick for decades now and the firewall will block you from almost every server once you try a non-existent address a few times(for my servers, it’s 2). Many servers also report bot/spam IPs to the ISP and if you get reported enough time, your connection could get shut down.

Schadenfreude intensifies.

I appreciate titles that let you know you don’t need to waste time watching it.

This is moree appropriate sitting a boring dystopia with this one: https://feddit.nl/post/16883082

Thanks for taking the time to simplify it. I really appreciate it.

there are some revisionists line that throw materialism out of the window and create an abstract form of socialism, and they use that abstraction to shit on former socialists and current ones, for example abolition of family and moneyless economy, no socialist country ever came close to both of these, so these lines spew that there was never a “true socialist country”,

Could you further exemplify this? I’m finding it a challenge to understand the mechanism of manipulation.

I’ve added this to my reading list thank you for linking it.

Power can corrupt in all societies, but it’s important we focus on how to deal with that corruption instead of writing everything off because corruption exists. A dictatorship of working people allows the working class to hold everyone accountable in ways that dictatorships of the owner class choose not to.

This seems to be my struggle. Cynicism and the sheer amount of flagrant corruption I have seen over the course of my lifetime has made it very hard for me to trust in any system, it seems.

I’m sorry for the delay in replying. The book is incredibly eye-opening but it’s one I will have to read more than once. My struggle is not just what I’ve been taught in the past but also how little I looked for myself. It’s shocking how much I have to Google while reading it.

Glad to help! It’s honestly a little heartbreaking when watching it, knowing what happens just a few years later, but it’s still a great watch.

That was an incredible film. The final scene of the comedy show was really sad, in the context you mentioned. They seemingly had no idea what was going to happen. I don’t yet understand the fall but to watch such a content group of people unaware of the inevitable hardships about to be thrust upon them is heart wrenching.

I bought it and will start on it today. That seems a fantastic read.

I understand what you mean by unbiased being unrealistic. I should have just said non-propagandized.

I will grab that, thank you very much for your help.

Thanks very much for that. I’ve loaded it up and will watch it. That’s exactly the type of thing I’m looking to find.

Very sorry, I’m not doing well at explaining what I’m looking for. This comment from me explains it a little better.
