Healthy optimism

Protests are very good at causing civil unrest, damaging public property, making other peoples days worse, and swaying their view further away from your cause

If any of those are your goal, they can be quite effective

To increase humanities control over its environment. The form that takes is a secondary concern

Let’s be real here, it’s the second one

For all intents and purposes it was free word

I haven’t really used word in over half a decade since TeX beats it in every conceivable way.

Wordpad was useful in the sparse few cases where I was forced to open a .doc or .docx and couldn’t be arsed to upload the file to Google docs

I guess it will be missed for that

Not everything that isn’t ublock is automatically bad. Especially if you just want an adblocker and not also all the other stuff it comes with

I feel the opposite. Still all but one opinion gets drowned out. It’s just that now the opinion that survives is the one that screams the loudest rather than the mainstream one

I would consider that a downside tbh

Holding spacebar pressed used to play the video at half speed, due to pausing and unpausing extremely quickly

Now it plays the video at double speed, meaning that I have to set playback speed manually when I want to watch in slow motion

I can see this being preferable in the long run, but damn if it isn’t annoying in the present

Lemmy really needs a super-upvote system

That’s a remarkably terrible Wikipedia article

Did he edit his comment? The current version doesn’t accuse Altman of any felony

Intend your puns people

I may be misunderstanding you, but how does that stop an attacker?

Getting a copy of someone’s fingerprint can be done without their knowledge since it is the easiest biometric to accidentally leave behind. Having to restart my phone doesn’t suddenly change my fingerprints.

Or, do you have to actually re-register your prints on a daily basis via a different form of authentication? That’d seem inconvenient and like it would just move the problem around

I have MFA in addition to that pw, yes

There are better phones out there.

That’s news to me. Which other mobile authentication is there besides pin, pattern, facial and fingerprint?

What do you see that’s wrong with it that we don’t if I may ask?

Hi, yes, I am that minority

I have a 37 character password with both cases, numbers and special characters to login to my pw vault using long random strings

My phone has a swipe pattern lock since that is the safest lock option it allows in the first place. I wish I could lock it better, but the only other options available to me are a 4 character pin, and fingerprints/facial scan. I hope the problems with those are obvious

Couple that with the fact that I have a daily predictable commute in public transit where I have a habit to put my phone next to me during breakfast and you have a recipe for disaster.
