Sure, they are in poor taste. What is telling, however, is bias: Trump gets labelled as 'fascist' for saying 'fight like hell', but Waltz just gets a pass because for the exact same words, because that was just poor tas

Of course, the press does cuddle its darlings. Compare any first-term Trump's press conference with Biden's press conference: a pack of wolves that screamed and shouted suddenly morphed into cute fawning puppies: "what kind o

Ok, since you are waiting , I'll spend a few minutes fetching you easily available quotes. Obama: - "If they bring a knife to the fight, we're going to bring a gun." [0] Biden: - "If we were in high school, I'

This is a really disingenuous and biased selection of sources. One could find systemic examples of inflammatory rethoric from almost anyone in US politics: Biden, Obama, Trump, Waltz, Harris, DeSantis, Newsome, etc. Ironically, assassinated

In my experience I get acceptable answers in more than 95% of questions I ask. In fact, I rarely use search engines now. (btw I jumped off Google almost a decade ago now, have been using duckduckgo as my main search driver)

Obscure problems would get no visibility though — because of their obscurity.

Chatgpt, Grok and the likes give an overall better experience than Google because they give you the answer, not links to some pages where you might find the answer. So unless I'm explicitly searching for something, like some article,

Ironically, I personally prefer good typography, but unless the editor for the desktop app is autocorrecting -- to —, I usually don't bother. But when I type on the phone with screen keyboard, I almost always do bother, even though ent

I have used Firefox for many years now on all my devices, and I find it much better at almost anything: password management works better accross devices, history syncs better, etc. With chrome I could never really rely on saving a password

Not true at all. I've learned one language after I hit 39 and started leaning another when I hit 45, 7 months in learning it ~15 min a day and I'm bordering B1 level.

Thing is, history has shown that nothing is reliably enough for Google, once it flags you suspicious. You've entered password and totp code? Nah, you're still suspicious. Gave one time backup-code? Hah, still suspicious. Have a ha

I tried really hard to use Collabora 'web' solution. It is unusable. For those who don't know: it renders the whole LibreOffice interface on server and passes it to you. Lots of issues with hotkeys on non-standard layouts (I

I loved OpenOffice.org back in the day, but in today's world with no modern web collaboration option it is dead. I'm aware of the attempts to make it run via browser, and no, they aren't really there, not even close. What we

It's a bit of an off-topic, but traditional settlement hierarchy was this: The settlement only has houses - it's a hamlet. The settlement has a church - it's a village. The settlement has a market - it's a town. The sett

I don't really think hardware keys (which I have a few, btw) really improve security: I use a seriously backed up password manager that I have means to access from anywhere, and the only thing I have to worry is that I'd forget my

That was on my company office network that had a stable IP address for I think a decade. Thing is, Google is now known to randomly become very paranoid and protects you from yourself, and, coupled, with complete absence of any support, ofte

I did it on the account mentioned in post (didn't set TOTP though), and Google locked me out saying "You're entering correct password but we're not sure it is you. Try again later". And I tried and tried and tried,

To be specific, I use it for a separate Google Play developer account, which Google refused to create on my Workspace account, saying it must be a regular Gmail account. (They also restrict Workspace accounts from some Google Play functions

Google Authenticator is a TOTP client as far as I know, and it can transfer codes to third party clients without problems. The point of my rant was that with modern day Google, TOTP authentication is not enough.
