I don't judge them negatively. They're working based on the available information. That line of reasoning is the exact same that I would use if it weren't for the fact that I have better information available and thus can app

I can't imagine it would, at least not without some (a lot of) social lube. Even bars might prove hard, since a lot of people there will be the regulars and other fixed groups who probably aren't interested in making friends. If y

The golden rule disagrees. I am bothered by random people wanting to talk to me -> Randomly talking to other people would bother them -> Bothering people is rude -> Randomly talking to people is rude. Hence why the platinum rule is

I'm curious how much this one guy, all on his own, has stalled passkey adoption. In theory, this issue could never touch average users. It's only power users who use standalone open-source password managers. All the options normal

MS may not have been as tasteful as MacOS, but the functionality was at least there and it was easy to find and use. That goes a long way to make up for the bland-ish look. Then we lost even more taste, and eventually the functionality and

I love the idea of hardware keys, and would absolutely use them for the essential stuff (email, domain registrar, bank) but they're just too expensive, while plain old TOTP 2FA is free and provides 99% of the benefits for my use case.

Same experience here. DDG works fine for getting to that Wikipedia article with a non-obvious title, but any search where I'm less sure of what I'm looking for tends to fall flat on it's face, with zero sites of interest show

Not add 2fa automatically, but instead prompt with options to add it. This probably doesn't comply with the relevant recommendations, but cutting a user of from their email is worse in my opinion.

I add an account to that database maybe twice a year, probably less. Do you make a lot more accounts than that? The off-site solution I have updates a lot more often than that, although that's only because only the really important stu

How often do your change your passwords? Assuming they are decently long and all that, why would you change them at all other than when a site gets breached? The only reason my Keepass database changes is because I make new accounts on site

That was probably their intention, but Bedrock has proven to be full of papercut sized bugs, and maintaining 1:1 behaviour with Java has also proven really difficult. Redstone is notably different/broken with the exception of trivial c

Reddit dropped a lot in quality after that. I suspect a lot of people stopped posting, even if they did continue using it in some capacity.

Yet Micoslop chose not to make that happen, presumably because they get a kick out of seeing people not find what they need.
