tried to watch death note again somewhat recently and having achieved some measure of class consciousness it does not hold up. light is such an irredeemable naive little capitalist boot licker. all he does is kill criminals, then spends the rest of the series in that ridiculous cat and mouse game he could have avoided by just ignoring it. he never once considers trying to undermine the economic and political systems that push people to commit crime in the first place. like what if he was a japanese luigi? such a waste of an interesting story idea.

That's kinda the point, Light is an ergonomical lunatic with a god complex who very early on starts killing more or less innocent people for the insult of getting in his way. He isn't an anti-hero he is a sociopathic lunatic who if he was in a grimdark setting would be sitting next to Griffith and FUCKING Erebus. Hell he isn't even all that complex since at least say Erin Yeager had the excuse of getting mind fucked and being put into a bad situation by himself, his ancestor, and the fact the world was genocidal to his people.

At least he's reducing workplace repetitive stress injuries

Ya know I hate autocorrect with a fucken passion.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Did you think Light was the hero when you watched it the first time? He's a teenage kid who suddenly gets way too much power, thoroughly abuses it, then starts killing innocents to avoid the consequences of his own actions. Even if his first few kills were literal supervillains, there is no justice in a world where Light decides who lives or dies.

Your idea of a revolutionary undermining the system is also an interesting story idea, but it's a very different story idea.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 9 hours ago

I only liked that show because of the power fantasy aspects. Looking back it's cringe AF.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It really is the anime Starship Troopers.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 2 points 17 hours ago

True, I think both take advantage of our inherent bias to pick the side of the main characters and then push and push into the dark side until you have to admit that maybe they are the bad guys after all. Catching onto it after 10 episodes or on the second viewing isn't a fundamental difference in that regard.

[–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well, he thinks criminals are such because they're evil or something. He thinks the only way to stop them is by creating a totalitarian state where he is God and everyone does his bidding lest they invoke his ire.

The thin veil of "making the world a better place" was lifted super early in the series, when he started killing people that weren't criminals, justifying it as "if they go against my plans they may as well be criminals".

He was never supposed to be a good guy. He's an arrogant piece of shit, and that's why he got caught.

"I hate 2FA" - people who don't understand 2FA

[–] timestatic@feddit.org 2 points 6 hours ago

I hate email or SMS 2FA. But 2FA codes are awesome (and passkeys)

[–] toddestan@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

It's possible to understand 2FA, be all for the extra security it can provide, and wanting it enabled for important logins. And at the same time hate it for how annoying it can be.

And that's even not getting into the poorly designed and implemented 2FA systems, many of which end up not actually providing any extra security.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

I understand 2fa, but the way many companies have implemented it is such a shit implementation that it's nothing more than security theater designed to purposely make my life difficult, but not actually secure anything. Anything to do with medical stuff seems to be particularly bad. And OMG, don't get me started on the shit they put behind 2fa for no reason other than fuck with you. Why do I need to log in so I can see some completely public information? Just so they can track me... Ok, I will fucking log in then... And it's behind 2fa... And because they don't give a fuck the 2fa server never sends 2fa verification.

So, I think 2fa is technically a great idea and the way to go, but at the same time, I fucking hate 2fa.

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Okay, fair enough, hating on shitty 2FA is something I can get behind. Like,whatever the fuck Paypal is doing, funfact: Customer support can just turn it off.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

To connect to my work VPN I have to enter my userid and password on the PC (that I'm already signed into with the same) then unlock my phone, and then open the app, enter the # shown on my PC, then enter my pin on my phone again. Then half the time the connection fails and I have to do it all again. Why it can't skip the second pin because I JUST FUCKING USED IT TO UNLOCK MY PHONE I don't know. Then if I want to use teams on my phone I have to use my pin again then I have to also use it to get into outlook, repeatedly all day. Microsoft products are garbage.

[–] historicaldocuments@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

"Someone decided our current authentication wasn't trusted enough so we're adding 2FA to this system. We now need to you give us information we didn't already have over this untrusted mechanism, which we will then trust because it's convenient for us."

[–] wols@lemmy.zip 9 points 20 hours ago

To that point: it's 2 factor authentication. That is, proving who you are through 2 different factors, usually something you know (a password) + something you have (a physical device) or something you are (biometrics).
The point is that "something you know" can often be easily acquired by malicious third parties and it is generally much harder for them to gain access to "something you have" or "something you are". Thus requiring 2 different factors blocks most nefarious access attempts.

Authorization is a separate, different step that, usually after having already proven you are who you say you are, verifies whether you're allowed to do what you're trying to do. This generally doesn't require multiple factors because you've got nothing left to prove: the system knows all about what you're permitted to do.

Mnemonic:

  • authentication: you are an authentic person (as opposed to impersonating someone)
  • authorization: you are authorized to perform an action

i declare security!

[–] rehydrate5503@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mine doesn’t even say “Teams” anymore in the taskbar. Just has the Teams logo and says Copilot no matter what I do. Along with 9+ notifications icon, even though I have no notifications. It has been 2 months like this.

If they're also complaining about Teams, I'd venture to guess that they're complaining about the near incomprehensible implementation within Microsoft Office ecosystem (and their web UIs).

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

I recently had an issue where Microsoft authenticator needed to sign back in to my work domain. After entering my username and password, it would trigger a push to authenticate on the app. Accepting the push would open the app, canceling the login workflow.

Oh wait, that's how it actually works.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's from a show called Death Note. A guy finds a book in which you enter the names of people you want dead, and then they die. It's a pretty good show. Kind of a cat and mouse detective show almost, but with a supernatural twist.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The main character is kind of a dumbass though. Even as far as teenagers with delusions of grandeur go.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] faultyproboscus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

All he had to do was stop writing names for a while after L very publicly announced that he was narrowing the search area. It's his own ego that pushes him to come up with elaborate ways to hide what he's doing as the number of suspects dwindles.

As soon as he learns that you can affect the time and manner of death, he could have made all the rest seem like accidents, spread out over years. Again, it's his own ego that gets in the way; he wants people to know the deaths are connected.

[–] asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

But that's the point - he wanted people to know they were connected because he wanted society to change. And IIRC at some point it worked. People started not committing crimes because they were scares they'd get killed.

That the person asking hasn't seen though

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago

Age doesn't matter.

If you recommended a show to a friend, then you told them too much, don't you think they'd be like "🤨🤌🫴"? It wouldn't matter that it's old. Such a silly argument. So, so silly.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Though? You think the show is bad due to this or why the "though"?

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I think it detracts from the main premise of a detective show. Not that it becomes automatically bad; all the other characters carry it enough. But it would be a truly great show if Light was as intelligent as he is presented to be.

As it is, Death Note is less of a detective show involving supernatural elements, but a show about supernatural involving detective elements. The story I got from it wasn't of two masterminds clashing in a battle of strategy, but of a vulnerable teenager being used by supernatural entities for their amusement. Which makes me feel misled.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Why were you expecting something in the first place? Doesn't sound to me like it's the fault of the show.

I thought the show was amazing. Very novel concept. Both sides don't need to be masterminds. I don't see how that would've been better. The deductions of one mastermind is enough for me to ride on. 👍

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Why were you expecting something in the first place?

Because that's how storytelling works? If you don't expect anything from the story, you aren't invested into it and you aren't enjoying it.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I mean why were you expecting something beforehand? Not during. I wasn't expecting anything, and I still enjoyed the show for what it was. No need to add a second mastermind. What happened in the show was exciting, and I'm not so sure adding a second mastermind would've made it better. 🤷‍♂️

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 1 points 9 hours ago

Because the first few episodes leads you to it. You get this cool main character who takes it upon himself to purge the world of those who can't be made responsible for their evil otherwise, and then you get the detective angle. It clearly tries to be Holmes Vs Moriarty type of thing, except with the opposite PoV. If you didn't get those expectations from the show itself and enjoyed it, good for you! It was a different experience for me, especially with how much praise I've heard about it beforehand
