    Advice after the fact is a useless lecture, a form of victim blaming.

    Saying “if you hadn’t done x, crime y wouldn’t have happened” to the victim of a crime is the very definition of victim blaming.

      OOP isn’t in this thread. I don’t think the user you’re chastising intended to give OOP advice, the advice was for the rest of us.

        Still textbook victim blaming rather than the benevolent “advice” you seem adamant to reframe it as.

            Nope. But “you wouldn’t have been a victim if not for trusting your apparent friend” very much is.

            People trust their friends with their laptops without being victimized every fucking day.

              Why did you put that in quotation marks when it’s not at all what they said? It’s not a quote, it’s barely even a paraphrase.
