    Wait wtf? You can just reset root password that easy? What’s even the point of having a password, if all of your data and info is so easily accessed if someone gets physical hold of the machine. I guess so software/remote hackers can’t get your stuff, but still. This seems wild to me, I dunno.

    New to Linux so I’m sorry if I’m being ignorant, but it does seem crazy you can get access to a machine without the password.

    Edit: Thanks for all the comments below! I guess I’ve been spoiled by BitLocker in Windows being enabled by default and not having to think of disk encryption. Appreciate everyone’s time and responses!



  • Yea, honestly I think this is where an app can really shine vs using the website (currently).

    Another example: Formula1 communities are on lemmy.world AND lemmy.ml. As a user and member of both, I don’t care which one I’m seeing/engaging with, I would rather they be grouped together so I can see the content from both at the same time rather than having to go to each community.

    I guess this would be akin to Multireddits (I think it was called?) where you can pick and choose which communities you are subscribed to are grouped together. Meaning you could also do this for communities that don’t cover the same specific content, but a more general category, such as “computers” and have all computer related communities you subscribe to in that group.
