   Note that I think this blocking is done not by detecting a site doing it, but instead by using block lists: Firefox has a list of sites where third-party resources, including JS that would do canvas fingerprinting, will be blocked. As I u

   Check the instructions at https://authy.com/guides/paypal/ . Those seem to work for me, I can indeed now add an authenticator app just as shown there.

   Oh, people are globally allowing CDNs? This has been a major thorn in my side running uBlock Origin on "medium mode" (block all third-party scripts and frames) for years now, but I figured globally allowing CDNs—or almost any sit

   I think they offer TOTP now, right? Started sometime last year? Do you have to activate SMS alongside it? I have been using TOTP with PayPal for (I think) a few years now. You used to have to run some weird local Python script that someh

   OK, so that's the same refund of shipping fees you get from Amazon if they're late, right? Actually, I've gotten free months of Prime with Amazon easily by just going into support chat and saying more-or-less, "You misse

   OK, good deal, I am very pleased to know that it's all acceptable behavior. Thanks for the detailed reply. :)

   Well, everyone probably does need to agree on what is off-limits for work conversation. Putting something like "Joe Biden is a communist" or "Black lives matter is just a front for foreign agitators" into #hot-takes is

   I like the phrase "exposure budget", I hope you don't mind if I steal it. I've been thinking of things the same way, though my #1 "budgetary priority" right now is probably "open schools" over everyt

   I fully agree, but in an office of 100 people, I'm surprised everyone else agrees.

    I like these channels a lot. I have to ask, though, doesn't #hot-takes end up getting people in trouble? Like HR trouble? Or at least stuff like starting political flame wars between colleagues?

    FWIW I would never trust USPS to deliver on time in my city. They regularly lose packages for a week or two before magically delivering them, with tracking information that is the long-form equivalent of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. UPS, FedEx, and

    Thanks for this contrary opinion. :) I have been using a Touch Bar MBP for about 18 months. I have my Touch Bar configured for function keys all the time. I touch type fairly quickly, so I rarely look at the keyboard. I spend all day in

    FYI there are various utilities (Hammerspoon and Karabiner Elements, off the top of my head) that can make caps lock act as escape if pressed and released, control if used in conjunction with other keys. This took some getting used to, but

    For one thing, in the case of Reddit, there are sites which exist to archive deleted posts and comments. I believe I've used https://www.removeddit.com/ in the past to read some deleted content. I would imagine it&#x2

    I hear that, after it left beta, the number of games that you can play on GeForce NOW is greatly reduced. I have read that you can no longer play arbitrary games from your Steam library (like you could in beta), and furthermore, a few ma

    FWIW I tried Mackup for a few days to try and sync prefs between two macOS machines, and it broke more than it fixed. Many applications don't like having their preferences files symlinked or preferences changed while they're runn

    Note that, at least as of 10.14 (Mojave), lots of built-in macOS preferences do not like their settings to be changed this way. For example, you can use `defaults` to change preferences for the trackpad to your heart's content, but th

    You can have additional MacPorts repositories, though I'm sure they're not nearly as configurable as in APT. See, for example, https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.local-reposit... . Instead of loc
