  • If you brute force using single iterations of all possible combinations sure. But people don’t do that. They use fully readable passwords and letter substitutions. This makes dictionary attacks viable. There are a known number of readable words and phonetic combinations that are significantly easier to brute force. And also the vast majority of numbers are also guessable because most numbers are dates. Series of 2 or 4 or 8 numbers to form important dates means there are lots of numbers between 1940-2024. People don’t usually unconditionally random alphanumeric passwords. Therefore peoples passwords will never be fully secure against sufficiently advanced brute force methods.



  • I don’t know why but I feel the need to remind you that here…

    THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE IN AMERICA IS GUNS.

    more than disease, more than SIDS, more than car accidents and suicide. Gun violence. There is no fucking excuse for it. American children are dying to fucking bullets. It’s not a dumb statement. The US government refuses time and time again to demand change from the fire arm industry and it fails to pass meaningful legislation protecting those children from death by firearms every god damned year. Those children’s blood is on the hands of the killers, true, but it is also on the hands of every single person failing to do what they were elected to fucking do, protect their represented populations.




  • I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying. The US doesn’t have a 1 party system. If you meant 2 party system, that’s not really true of any specific arrangement of political party spectrums across the world. No system covers most countries. Wikipedia lists 15 countries, many among the most powerful and influential globally that are effectively 2 party systems.

    There are so many reasons why the working class lack representation in America and I don’t think a single one of those reasons is the 2 party system. In fact, on paper, the US has no limit on how many political parties there can be. The reason we have a 2 party system has more to do with our voting system and the spoiler effect that happens over time in all First-Past-The-Post voting systems.

    I think the reason the working class lack representation has so much more to do with the money in our politics. The politicians are more concerned with continuing their political careers and earning more money for themselves than they are with helping the working and poor classes.
