I don't think the security issues with windows stem from not having the user enter their password a bunch of times.
You're right.
Scientific consensus is never wrong and it will never be wrong again.
My bad.
Yeah, but you gotta admit it's possible windows does some things better.
I also think a lot of linux users get tunnel-visioned and believe that something is incorrect simply because it's how another OS does it.
Thank you for the informative response. I was unaware Windows machines employed similar behavior in corporate environments.
Do you think, then, that it would be acceptable for Linux to remove these restrictions in home environments?
because it’s a system of evidence and confirmation.
It's a system that has been routinely wrong before.
Do you think it's never going to be wrong again? That's having faith.
Isn't it enough to just enter your password once to login, then receive a warning whenever you're about to do something potentially dangerous?
If it's such a big security risk, how come the most popular and widely used operating systems in the world and their users seem to be unaffected by it?
I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.
If you understand the science yourself, then you're correct.
The problem is that most people don't understand the science and just have faith in other people who might.
Didn't know there were so many water experts on lemmy.
Who are you writing this for?
Right back at ya.
It's not nearly as bad as it is now.
And it was always a scam, even back then.
Lol, sorry that bothers you.
it must be wrong about fluoride?
This is where your confusion comes from. I never said it's wrong about fluoride.
My point is that unless you understand the science yourself, you have faith in other people who do. Scientific consensus has been wrong in the past, and it will be wrong again in the future.
Everyone saying with such certainty that fluoride is good or bad without understanding the science themselves just highlights how most people treat science like a religion.
Yeah, but you don't understand the science.
You have faith in other people who might. That's how you treat it like a religion.
Do you need another history lesson?
It seems like they're leaving a lot of money on the table. I don't think a significant number of people would jump ship if Twitch updated their policy to give 99% of donations directly to streamers while taking a 1% cut for themselves.
There might be some initial grumbling, but it would probably fizzle out in a week when people move on to other things.

Of course, there is no direct admittance of "we knew it would be cheaper to let them die."
Instead, they say "we had no legal obligation to rescue them." That's the answer for the people who were born yesterday.
Big oil truly is a disgusting thing.
