I guess I am in the minority, but I have never understood this business. You would have to pay me to stay in someone else's house vs a hotel.

Posts like yours are a great example of the polarization.

I am not sure why one would care about what Linus, or the person he is talking to says, Neither is an expert in the field.

Voat turned into a refuge for people on the far right who only wanted to talk politics, 100% of the time. Even if you lean towards that side of the political spectrum, it gets very tiresome.

The digital dollar has been here for years. I couldn't even tell you the last time I carried paper currency.

It has nothing to do with security - they want to move everyone to a subscription model for reoccurring revenue. I can't blame them for that, but it isn't necessarily the best for customers.

I am curious how managing secrets locally is less secure than a cloud based solution?
313.
by miked85 5y ago
That would be news to me. I have never used a secret key with 1Password and a local vault.
314.
by miked85 5y ago
Yes, I was - and it still exists and gets updates. 1Password goes out of their way to not promote it though.
315.
by miked85 5y ago
This is not true for the standalone version of 1Password.

I am sure you realize that Jordan was just an example of someone generally considered one of the greatest in their respective sport.

What are you are suggesting? Should we just accept theft and businesses closing, release criminals, or open more prisons?
323.
by miked85 5y ago
Why would that matter?

I am not sure how any retail business can survive in CA when laws basically allow people to steal, as long as they keep it under $950. Walgreeens is smart to leave.

Agreed. Cartels run the country. The government is mostly corrupt and completely ineffective.

I am not sure how this is really surprising to anyone. Consumers will pay for shipping one way or the other.

> About 20 people I met from twitter have been over my house (for dinner, etc) at different times. I think this would be considered extremely out of the norm. Your experiences with Twitter are definitely not typical.
