You do you, but if you’re reverting to binary to explain how simple it is to add values together, I think you’ve made a wrong turn somewhere.

Those are so easily commensurable! It’s 1 and 59/64 obv.

I legit can’t tell if this is sarcasm.

Lazy Web devs who took the ‘mobile first’ mantra to mean ‘mobile only’ 🙄

Americans merely adopted the nonsensical measurements. The Brits were born to them.

It’s not the worst strategy (and is actually referred to as ‘peppering’ your password)… but if your primary use-case is websites and mobile apps, using a password manager like Bitwarden and randomly generated strong passwords is still a better strategy (and probably faster too, since you don’t need to type it out manually anymore, and/or remember which flex you used when creating your ‘peppered’ password).

This is a good approach if you have to login to services that aren’t via a web browser though - e.g. Remote desktops etc.

America really is an amazing country. I’ve never even heard of about half of this tier list.

I don’t think broad brushstrokes are helpful here - regular people can be real assholes, and we need to balance a public servant’s individual right to privacy with the public’s right to transparency.

Some jobs such as Police Officers, I have no qualms with filming while they’re in uniform or otherwise on-the-job. But I can also see how a blanket approval could backfire, e.g. some aggrieved person decides to stalk some poor guy who’s only job is to center divs on some government website, just because they find out he’s a government worker.

I had this exact fight with my team several months ago, and lost to popular opinion since the rest of my team are either zoomers or indifferent.

Wait… People are calling the emergency phone line after getting scammed? Wonder if that’s just Zoomers being too dumb to avoid scams but not dumb enough to think an emergency phone call will help.

Agreed - they really just need to roll the ‘Profile Switcher for Firefox’ extension into base functionality - and this would have the benefit of not requiring an additional install to work.

I’d also argue Firefox is hardly mainstream at ~3% usage. Edge would be a better replacement given it comes with every Windows install (and many corporate environments don’t allow using an alternative).

I think this is technically a loop.

Exactly! This is the playbook for how Linux has gained such a mainstay - while GNU/Linux on the desktop may still be pretty small, the extensibility and open-source nature of the platform has meant it’s been able to take over on all sort of alternative platforms - Android and Steam Deck being the big ones in the consumer space, but also larger distros being used regularly in enterprise/web hosting.

If everyone had refused to embrace Android or Steam Deck or any of the other distros run and maintained by for-profit corporations due to some preconceived idea of what the ‘correct’ way to use Linux is, it would still be doomed to irrelevance outside of tech circles.

Honestly, it’s so strange this never comes up - yes there are ads but a man’s gotta eat. The ads aren’t particularly intrusive so the free version is a fine sacrifice for those of us who are happy enough with the base functionality of sync and can deal with the minor annoyance of an occasional ad.

I’d prefer to purchase the ad-free version, but the pricing is a bit excessive for me right now - I can wait it out until there’s a sale or other discount in the meantime.

If that’s a dealbreaker, all the other Lemmy clients are available to use instead - I’ve used them all and they’re all excellent.

The people who this really affected - third-party app users, people affected by the poor accessibility of the regular app/site and the anti- ‘hail corporate’ types have already migrated or are otherwise disengaged with Reddit, leaving just the bootlickers.

This is such a stupid talking point I can’t believe it still gets parroted.

If you have elections for government officials chosen from the people, you are a democracy - there’s no real high bar for that.

If you are an independent nation not beholden to any foreign power, you are a Republic. The American head of state is the US President chosen by the American people, not a King or Queen from another nation.

One does not exclude the other.

People these days really are sheltered if they can’t detect sarcasm without it being specifically called out…

‘Freedom to Breathe’ Agency makes it even better

Also no Google connectivity

I wish people would see this as a feature, not a drawback.
