If they are selling aggregate data like "x percentage of our users are on Windows 10, y percentage on Windows 11, z percentage on Linux" they are technically selling user data. Honestly, if that's all they are doing, I don't really mind it. It's the selling of individual user data that I take issue with.

Jared Keeso. Specifically, Jared Keeso as Shoresy.

It's social media, so first and foremost, people will go where everyone else is.

Secondly, and almost just as important is ease of use is king. At a population level, people are always going to follow the path of least resistance, until critical mass is reached and the first condition comes into play. Any project, no matter how beneficial, is going to be relegated to second place at best if it's not the easiest one to use.

It an unfortunate reality in car-centric towns, but this can be a valid concern for small businesses in downtown areas. Lack of parking can translate to customers simply not showing up.

Bitwarden+Firefox+Android. That combo doesn't support passkey creation.

I very specifically don't want my security tied to my device. Trying to migrate to new phones, and keeping things synced between a phone, desktop, and laptop is why I long ago moved to a password manager. Now, especially in the phone space, getting passkeys to function fully with a password manager ranges from "pain in the ass" to "not actually possible".

Passkeys are a great idea, but everyone involved seems like they want the process to be as much of a pain in the dick as possible. So until the industry pulls it's collective head out of its collective ass (not going to hold my breath on that one), it'll be passwords+2FA for me.

Funny thing about International Law. It only ever seems to apply when when someone has the will and the power to enforce it. Who has the power to enforce it if the US is the guilty party?

I can't remember what else there was, but I feel like there's been at least one other time that I found myself agreeing with him. Maybe he's mellowing out, since it no longer makes sense to chase after the MAGA crowd?

Wouldn't that be a non-issue? The radiation is going to be spreading out in a cone, not a focused laser beam. It should dissipate down to a level that a spaceships normal radiation shielding would already need to be able to handle pretty quickly.

Never thought of that. In my use case, Transmission is running in a container on my server, so it only ever has one connection, and VPN and traffic management happens on my router.

Been seeing grocery stores stick maple leafs on Canadian products here.
