Milliondollarhomepage is a little strange and irritating, you're just buying pixels after all. But it is interesting and has a certain conflicting charm to it. Outbid is just sad. People pay money to get on a slop board?

Good writing isn't complex for complexity's sake though. Mistaking complexity for quality is the most common mistake when it comes to writing — and I allege one central reason why many people like and trust LLM output. I'd ar

Only if you don't backup your TOTP tokens. Just like you lose your photos when you lose your phone. One of the main advantages of TOTP is that it is portable and can be backed up. > I walk to the local phone shop and get a replaceme
