Google Photos whole premise is that they analyze, categorize, scan, and classify the photos for you. They find similar faces, put your photos on the Maps timeline, etc. If you don't want Google to do that, there's no point in usi

There are two issues with OP. First, is that this optimism is indefinite in words of Peter Thiel. It's gonna be fine but without any directions how to make that future actually happen. Can we just sit and wait? Second, it addresses fac

Yeah, I use different keys for different purposes/projects but not for each and every server. Sounds inconvenient. Plus how would only one of my ssh keys leak when I store them all in the same place? If I was worried about my keys leak

Funnily enough, I just had a meeting with a client asking why they would need two (and then likely more) servers doing the very same thing. Wouldn't that increase the price? Well, yeah.

Hardly a conspiracy when the German chancellor openly signs an agreement with Russia and then joins Nord Stream and Gazprom to implement it and bypass other EU countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Schr%C3%B6

Only banks do that. All other services accept TOTP (which you can have on multiple devices) or YubiKeys/webauthn/U2F (where you can add multiple hardware keys). And even here, my bank accepts two (or more) devices with an active i

it is extremely difficult to find right-wing artists Perhaps that bias has something to do with it. Either way, back when Wisława Szymborska won the literature prize, there was a clear right-wing candidate, Zbigniew Herbert. They still ch

While I fully approve not using your phone, the company should issue you one, what is the security benefit of not using a personal phone? It's not really different from a company phone.

The fragmentation does nothing to impair your own ability to use app permissions in Android 13. You only need Android 13 on your phone. No network effect. As for communication apps, there is exactly one great app for both Android and iPhone
