Go to pbs.org. It will ask you to select a station based on your location and popup a big donate banner. There's also a donate button on the top bar. I feel like they make it pretty easy and obvious.

I used this for an online car rental service recently. My only main complaint was that it didn't work with FF for Android. Once I switched to Chrome, everything was great, but I'm disappointed in how often sites expect to be ran i

Sure, brute force doesn't online typically, but isn't the reason we have most password requirements generally for the scenario where someone gains offline access to password hashes?

True, there's not a huge difference. I just tend to prefer to reaffirm my permissions on occasion than permanently allow them. Similar to how I appreciate that most website occasionally require you to re-login.

I think I'm more worried about the lack of complexity than the guessability. It removes a huge amount of potential variance in any sort of brute force attempt.

Schwab used to do the "silently truncate to 8 chars" fail, but they _also_ silently changed all chars to upper/lower so the password was case insensitive. Still can't believe they were allowed to have such a bad and secr

When I TA'ed a course that taught networking fundamentals, I always pointed folks at this guide when they were struggling with assignments. Can't believe that was 8 years ago.

I would also _highly_ recommend The Dispossessed from her same universe. I personally preferred it, but both are really great "sci-fi tackles seriously complicated real life topics" reads.

Have you read Lathe of Heaven? I don't love all of the Hainish Cycle books (they're all good, just not peak Le Guin good), but that book I would consider in my top 5 books of all time easily.

I would concur with this. Wolfe and Le Guin, to me, both write sci-fi/fantasy as literature while also closely using themes that most would consider "genre fiction".

I was super disappointed in this but not surprised, honestly. Started building features for a Discord bot to share book reading updates, etc. with friends, and the API was rough to say the least (especially their OAuth implementation). You

I grew up in a deeply conservative part of the country. The amount of casual bigotry that permeates even the most mundane social exchanges now shocks me whenever I visit my family. I can't imagine what it's like to be a minority t

Oh wow, this is huge! Ever since switching back to FF, I constantly forget what my "shorthand" shortcut is for my custom search engines.

If everyone is bought-in on using them, they can be a really nice way to keep single topics in one place rather than having interleaved conversations in a single channel. If people don't use it 100% of the time, though, it's hones

I quit smoking a few years ago after getting pneumonia in my 20s. Definitely even more glad I did now.

It also pairs with an app called Lockwise now! It means you can generate passwords and even auto-fill them in other native mobile apps these days. At least I can fairly easily on Android. Found it much easier for my luddite to be comfortabl

I always have a pile of fiction near at hand, but I'm relatively good with getting through those. My non-fiction pile is the one that gathers the most dust...

Yet another anecdotal data point, but I've done the same with my Switch and MPB. I've charged both from a battery pack, phone chargers, etc. in a pinch and never had any issues (other than really really slow charging speeds). I&#x

Whoa, I've never clicked that button before. Now I just want a firefox extension that adds this to all paywall article links on all websites.

by strifey 7y ago
I frequently just do a google search for the title and click the link to the same article there. Typically, I don't get paywalled that way.

I've basically had the same experience but picking up skateboarding again. I spent a lot of time skateboarding as a kid, and it turns out it's also a really efficient, compact way of getting around a city too! I now feel a lot mor

I should learn to love the nubbin. I've used Thinkpads briefly in the past and just never got the hang of it.

What model of Thinkpad? How is the touchpad? The MBP touchpad quality is the main thing I don't want to lose.

My guess is if you reactivate and immediately deactivate, it should do what you want. I don't know what else that triggers, though.
56.
by strifey 8y ago
Yep. It currently explicitly states this and does it by default when you get to the final deactivation step. Previously it was an option you had to notice and click.

Strange, yeah if I open it in an incognito window I'm shown the old reddit homepage. Maybe it only works for signed-in users?

You should be able to interact with the redesign directly at https://new.reddit.com . The main complaints I've seen leveled at the redesign are: user profiles becoming more like Facebook profiles, the new chat functionality

Win 8 & Chrome here and it looks much better than that.
