Rolling Resistance

It’s just a quote from the article, but good to know.

Cara has no passwords: you log in via Google or Apple

uhuh, no thanks

I wonder if it applies to routers made by a company who likes collecting user data. Because this is a situation many people are in.

2 factor came into our life because people were using same passwords everywhere. With unique passwords, which are easy with password managers, it’s rarely needed.

Wait until your workplace requires you to only use MS Authenticator push notifications 😭 and HOTP occasionally…

It’s a separate app with no sync to Bitwarden accounts.

Just like in the password manager, they ignored HOTP. Oh well.

I wish I knew a living soul using the bottom one. Not on a Deck.

Because someone built an easy-to-use solution for organisations to charge money for. The same thing with Cisco VPN that every other software company seems to use.

Have you ever used HOTP before? Convenience-wise, it’s much worse than TOTP. It’s not supported by popular apps, you can’t use it on several devices unless there’s synchronization, you never know if the code you’re looking at was used already.

Screw this guy, but what’s baffling is that Meta didn’t do the same to Netanyahu. I guess genocide doesn’t violate their policies.

Obsession with one of the least energy efficient and one of the most harmful ways of transportation has to end.

Build a fucking train.

Directly via exhaust? It’s a significant number, but maybe not the biggest one. But add manufacturing, oil (or battery materials) extraction and refining, road infra construction and maintenance, emissions connected to suburbanization, microplastic pollution from tires, health and safety impact, and you’ll get a much grimmer picture. LEDs won’t cut it, and cars do not scale to 8B people.

AgGuard was (is?) big on Android and DNS. Helped to get rid of ads in many apps.

I’m curious to hear more about this. What’s the app?

Right, I use Plex now too. However, it only has things that I already downloaded. So if we don’t plan, we end up watching something on Netflix instead of spending extra time on looking+downloading+going back and forth between rooms.

That’s fair, if this was your case. No point in paying for something you don’t like.

As much as I hate old titles disappearing, I also enjoy the new content Netflix offers. To each their own, I guess.

Now imagine you have a family that likes to watch TV in the living room and not in your room.

This would be strange if Netflix didn’t have enough of easily accessible good content.

When after finishing work we want to watch “a movie”, it’s much easier to choose a Netflix recommendation than to do a half an hour reasearch online and then wait for the movie to be downloaded.

Now add to this time, energy, and expertise needed for looking up and trying pirating options, figuring out technical aspects, paying for a VPN, doing maintenance… Very few can and are willing to do all that.

Not really. The largest English-speaking country is in top-50 articles by views on English Wikipedia.
