I’m assuming this is meant as “Steve is looking down on them with pride” and have absolutely no idea why you’re downvoted.

Good to know. I’ll set that up once I can actually log in. I haven’t messed with my account in years but I definitely would have used something else if it’d been available when I set up.

Oh I definitely use that everywhere I can. I have a few yubikey and use AndOTP everywhere I can. But a few places refuse to do anything but sms.

I’ve done both and it’s possible my virtual therapy sessions were an outlier but I’d strongly recommend at least starting with in-person. I just didn’t find virtual anywhere near as effective as face to face with another person.

A disease doesn’t know or care that it’s a disease. If the host is being harmed it’s going to naturally fight back. Sorry, E. Coli, you’re just not welcome whether or not you’ve grown accustomed to the host.

Lazy marketing of a climate conference that honestly seems to have no real legitimacy at the moment, so no real need to cover it unless paid to cover it?

To play the opposite team a bit here, I like the idea Android uses of Intents for something like this. I think it falls apart a bit in reality because app companies kinda want you in their garden and so don’t often do the work to keep things interoperable. That and the use cases from users on phones don’t frequently involve cross app functionality. But the ability is powerful for apps to say “my app needs a user photo” or one of my faves “my app needs a pgp provider (for the password store app)” and then let the other app do that piece of functionality as determined by the OS, which tracks a lot of those providers and lets the user decide which to use.

Generally I would agree that anything can be made with a GUI with enough investment. But the point where diminishing returns don’t give enough return on GUI investment are reached much sooner than a scriptable shell environment where a power user can extend it in ways that would only make sense for that power user or a very small number of users.

That’s just not true. Not without lots of hand waving.

In my terminal I can, and pretty much hourly do, combine many programs in chains of input and output to perform specific tasks and get information I need. And that’s how these programs are designed to be used. The programmer builds it to do specific things and then the user can combine the program with others in novel and nearly endless ways.

With a GUI, sometimes that’s possible between two programs if you can copy/paste between them but it’s much less reusable and a lot more tedious. But usually it’s just not possible because they’re designed for specific user personas and not as general purpose tools that may be part of a script.

A GUI makes simple things simple.

A shell makes hard things possible.

World politics are like onions.

What, they stink?

Ye – no!

They make you cry?

Why use lot words when logo do trick?

I’ve used one for podcasts, definitely. But even for music, they may be poor quality generally but they’re significantly better than a phone speaker, and much better than a phone speaker ten feet away through glass or plastic.

I guess I mean anything nearly guaranteed to risk grievous injury like getting hit by a bus or something. If I can still use the 7.5mil after the day’s over I’ll do it all.

I’m a big guy so my weight in gold is pretty compelling tbh.

I’d probably do anything not deadly or grievously injuring for $7.5M in gold in one day.

I loved that you got two conscripts out of your barracks instead of one when playing as Russia in Command and Conquer.

I’d wager any old ridiculous claim unsupported by evidence will do well to that end

The most secure way this could happen is them storing the specific character separately. It reduces security of your password if that plaintext character is compromised but you could still store the rest of the password securely.

You could even salt and hash the one character with a large salt to keep it behind a one-way function, and then the agent would need to enter it and confirm via the system, but that would reduce any downside of the one or two characters being compromised.

It’s weird either way though.
