Although cursive has a unified design, everyone writes cursive a little differently. The idea is that cursive is designed to write whole words in a single stroke. The concept of a secure signature in cursive is that the more work a single stroke is, the more uniquely a person writes it.

That is to say, even though you may have the same name as someone else, it’s extremely unlikely that a person can copy your nuances precisely enough to forge your signature on the fly. It isn’t a perfect system, but it’s easy enough to verify a signature that people could do it before technology was around to aid that process.

That concept is also why they say the actual design of your signature is less important than the consistency of doing it the same every time.

Normally I’d agree with you, but… 6 day old account? Isn’t that a little like pulling up the ladder?

People on reddit genuinely don’t know because the L word gets the ban hammer there

On the one hand, I can see why they might complain. Their “projected” losses from piracy probably top 6 or 7 digits. The problem with that logic, of course, is the assumption that people will buy the ppv if the streams aren’t available. The guy I know who bounces between streams during a fight always says it’ll be a cold day in hell before he pays for the extortion rates the ufc imposes.

But the solution to their problem is definitely not forcing isps to respond instantaneously to dcma requests. I don’t even think anyone will take that demand seriously.

Doesn’t really sound like you do either. Sounds like you just want to feel superior about pointing it out 🤔

I love how you follow up the “I didn’t insult anyone” defense immediately with an insult. Can’t help yourself?

Nice. Love to see you lash out at a group that might have been sympathetic

That’s a perfectly fair conclusion. But I don’t mind. I’m not really trying to impress anyone

My guy, you’re digging your own hole. I’m honored, though.

I’ll take your advice into consideration. I probably will when I get bored of it. I’m actually quite amused just wasting this guy’s time at the moment

👍

You’re right. I was one of the first people he talked to, on a post yesterday about the paradox of tolerance where he proclaimed that his sole reason for existence is to be an asshole to people who call themselves tolerant.

We argued back and forth for awhile, but I eventually clocked him as a troll and I really just want to see if I can get him to burn out.

Also want to give people a heads up so that they don’t end up in the same loop I did at first. This guy is pretty vile. Just today he denied that the holocaust was even that bad because “not all the jews died”

Call me what you like. Or ignore me entirely. I’m just passing along the message

Heads up, this guy is a troll picking fights for no reason. Don’t try to engage him, he only replies with deflection and insults. Check out his profile

This guy is a troll. He spends his time picking fights and deflecting anything that conflicts with his fragile world view. Check his profile.

Just thought you should know. He doesn’t really care about dispensing advice, he just likes feeling superior

Ok, but the solution to “lots of users don’t know the difference” isn’t “we might as well show so much less that we reduce the entire problem to a nondescript code that can mean several different things”

There’s literally no reason to do that except to discourage people from solving the problem in the first place, because the users you’re referring to won’t do it either way.

I don’t get why this is a controversial opinion?

Do you realize that those two goals go hand in hand and are not mutually exclusive? For example, there’s no benefit in OS usability to putting out a single line error code as opposed to even the slightest detail as to what went wrong. That’s not “making their products easier to use to attract customers” as there’s not a single person in existence that judges an OS on how little they have to know about an error.

That’s mystificatiom of the system.

While it’s true that an overall goal of a company like ms is to sell more operating systems, that doesn’t mean that learned helplessness isn’t in the syllabus somewhere.

It’s possible that compared to the way the OP regards the average Microsoft user, they might just consider apple users more like monkeys at a keyboard and felt no need to mention them.
