Old gonewild was pretty great too, before all the onlyfans spam

I came up with a formula for my passwords - as easy to remember as a single password and makes a unique login for every site feasible without a password manager. Can be updated as often as you like and all you gotta do is remember the latest version of the formula. At the very least, the hashes will be different and it’d take someone having more than two of my passwords to figure out the pattern.

I also use over 100 email aliases with my own domain name so that my most important accounts have a separate login that isn’t a common domain that wouldn’t be easy for someone to guess.

It would take a lot of concentrated effort for someone to get at any of my important accounts, and even my less important ones would be pretty difficult to get into even if multiple accounts are compromised, due to using a smaller pool of aliases under common domains for less important accounts.

Someone got into half a dozen of my accounts a few years ago and I finally started taking security seriously.

Yeah, I just use pause for music, and I have a macropad with f13-18 so I just set one to trigger suspend.

Nice! If I wasn’t using the custom hotkey I’d jump to this for sake of keeping things lightweight. Thanks for sharing.

I maybe wasn’t clear, I didn’t make this, I just found it and figured folks here could benefit from knowing about it!

But no clue if it’ll help with that, worth a shot tho.

Ah I see, ty

If you’re on Android why not just use revanced or Newpipe? Both are excellent and I haven’t had issues with revanced since this change.

Would love to see the military force MS to contribute to WINE development until all govt apps work on Linux.

Problem is, there’s a lot of really specialized, critical software, that is provided by vendors and throws an absolute fit with any change. You could maybe run Windows in a VM, but it may not work with the specialized hardware and networking gear being used, and now you’re spending a bunch of extra time and money setting up a vm if windows inside Linux, which means you also have to train everyone on how to use the VM, adds another management/security issue, and adds another point of failure.

If they ever switch (the entire govt should, it would be so awesome to see the govt resources put into Linux development instead of M$ pockets) it’d have to be a very gradual process, and windows would still be around decades from now for legacy systems. (If the US hasn’t imploded in civil war or the planet melted by then 🫠)

This isn’t about making iPhone users care per se, I really think it’s just a public perception thing.

yeah lol edited

Yeah but good luck getting anything passed when the GOP and all of the animal agriculture lobbying industry will be screaming from the rooftops about how everyone’s favorite foods will be more expensive.

If you want a book, 100 Years War on Palestine does an excellent job going over everything up to 2017.

Very in-depth, full picture of everything that’s happened from 1917 (what just about everyone considers to be the beginning of the modern conflict), including errors and crimes committed by both sides. The author is Palestinian and obviously not neutral, but is far from extremist, and comes at things with a historical/academic rigor.

There are many other books/resources of course, but at least as far as getting a decent idea of what actually happened thus far, it’s a very good history of the conflict, major players and the geopolitics associated.

Yes, a wiki is an EXCELLENT idea. IDK if there are any plans to add wiki functionality on Lemme, but man it’d be nice.

Twitter was absolutely special when it came out. It was the first (or at the very least first successful) social media designed for mobile use. It also had large effects on how people thought about and used social media, and had big impacts on the ways various companies and people interact on social media.

I’ve never particularly cared about twitter personally, I used it a handful of times here and there, and I agree that currently and for a while it’s been a pretty shit slice of social media. But saying it was never special is a stretch at best.

I removed copilot the instant I saw it. I don’t need any more Microsoft online shit built into my OS, thanks. (I also use Arch, but Windows kernel anti-cheat)

Oh 100% that’s an issue esp with Disney movies I feel like, but in general I find that there’s a lot of just bad stereotypes that get away with masquerading as “gay humor”, or the fact that a character is queer is just shoehorned in later, but plays no bearing on the character.

Anecdotally I’ve gotten back into Apex Legends recently, and LOVE the representation in that game. One of my mains, Fuse, is stereotypical Aussie manly man who loves explosives, and just so happens to be pansexual and very affectionate with his nb partner. They’re a genuinely enjoyable couple without any of the traditional gay/queer stereotypes found in other media, it’s so refreshing.

I was showing my nephews and niece pics of me with my ex once because she didn’t visit with me and my niece asked to see pics.

The friend that introduced us is gay, and I had a pic of all of us during gamenight with him and his ex. My niece asked who his ex was, I couldn’t remember their name, so I said “that was his boyfriend” to which the kids were surprised, and asked a couple questions, which I answered in a very basic, kid-friendly manner. Just the matter-of-fact manner in which I’ve always explained stuff to them.

Well that was enough to send my SIL flying into the living room with a bible to go over verses that talk about how it’s sinful to be gay. I sat there holding my tongue, and I could see the confusion on their faces like “he was just telling us about his friend”.

I waited until she was done to tell them that another reason I’m not a Christian anymore is bc I don’t think who my friends are is wrong. (Which ofc brother and SIL got upset at later)

And in the conversation I had with my brother and SIL later on, they couldn’t see how me talking about my gay friends differently to my straight friends or avoiding saying someone was gay if it came up was an issue. These people live in a twisted reality of their own creation, it’s frightening.

Even from a conservative perspective it’s fucking stupid. Your job as a parent is to help your kid learn how to navigate the real world, which SURPRISE has gay people in it.
