I've found that if you move away from Gmail (and there are much better providers around), a Google account doesn't contain much. Turn off your history and someone compromising your account can do... what? Search for things you

Same :( There are plenty of sites using U2F, but not WebAuthn. I hope that's because it's still relatively new.

Or we can use WebAuthn.

Hmm, very interesting, thank you! Is it this one? https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.103... Seems to be exactly what you describe.

Oh aha, that's very interesting thanks! It's amazing how hard it is to parse things that you aren't primed for. I sometimes don't even recognize my native language for a while if I'm in an English-speaking country a

Certainly, but I can sympathize more with a mistake than with a deliberate tracking attempt.

Wow, this is fantastic. It's amazing to me to think that all speech everywhere is made from composing these few sounds. Amazing.

Can you post his name? I don't understand how it would be so hard to hear, hopefully he wouldn't mind.

Maybe it would be helpful if the devs added some sort of "reply to" ARIA tag to each comment? That wouldn't be too hard, would it?

I have one of those too on my work laptop, it's the most convenient thing ever. Not great if you have multiple computers, but it's great for a single one. Then again, your Mac already has a TPM chip you can use.

They're only a PITA to me because my keychain isn't close by. Otherwise, I touch the phone to my keychain and that's it, I'm authenticated. What's painful about that?

Your laptop (probably) already supports FIDO2 with your TPM, now it's a matter of Google (and others) implementing it.

I would rather use FIDO2, which is an open, decentralized standard that's both super secure and convenient. Why is nobody supporting that? That way we don't even need to remember usernames, let alone passwords.

Yes but it doesn't go from an hour a day on March 20th to 12 hours a day on March 21st, it's a gradual lengthening. The GP said that it goes from not sunny at all to very sunny suddenly.

I'm Greek and live in Greece, I don't know of anyone here having seen an alien spaceship or anything that looks like one.

> UFO stuff seems mostly driven by the west This is what smells the most, to me. Why are almost all the sightings we hear about in the US? You'd expect them to be evenly distributed.

Is that because of cloud cover? Why does it suddenly get much sunnier?

In Greece, we get a lot of tourists (mainly from England, I want to say) who seem addicted to sunbathing. They've been doing it so much that their skin looks like leather, though I can't say how healthy that is, because I guess ev

Hmm, I wonder if it's that us Mediterranean people have an easier transitional period and have learned to pace ourselves. I'll go out for a walk without sunscreen, but I'll definitely put it on if I go to the beach, when I&#x

This is exactly the No True Scotsman. "No true unprivileged person would think this". By your logic, if a slave who is tortured every day thinks the world is generally an OK place but his situation specifically sucks, they'

Yes, this is true. Unfortunately, the screen (and the power usage that comes with it) is one of the downsides, though it's nice that you can overlay things like histograms directly on the EVF.

Certainly, but you're typically much more in control of what you send than what you receive.

But then I'd have to give the password to anyone I wanted to receive files. I want to be able to send files to people but not have them be able to send to others. Maybe adding HTTP basic auth is fine, as I mainly want to keep random bo

Some simple authentication would be fantastic, so I can run my own instance and only allow myself to upload things.

This is fantastic, well done! A very useful service, and I loved it when it was Firefox Send. I'll be sure to use this now.

Definitely, but they'll also just get unusable photos.
