The color choices are infuriating. How has nobody noticed that multiple sets of colors look near-identical, to the point you’re not even sure they’re a different color (they are)?

They haven’t achieved the cusp of fascist dictatorship with logical consistency. Conservatism makes sense when you suppress critical thought; starting now would run the risk of losing existing R’s.

Their main strategy until the election will be the same as it has been for decades — reducing D and swing voter turnout by any means necessary.

Conservatism is the minority in America, and rarely wins through above average voter turnout, which is why they do everything in their power to gerrymander and disenfranchise voters. That doesn’t change the following facts:

  1. The “resign” efforts are a campaign spearheaded by the fascist propaganda machine (because they have no platform beyond fascist dictatorship).

  2. Anyone and anything, from a dementia ward patient to a wet sack of shit, is more qualified and deserving than every 21st C Republican.

  3. Biden is in noticeable cognitive decline, his debate performance was ridiculous, he probably will not live another 4 years, and isn’t there because he’s the best choice.

You should still worry about it for manual association. I rarely use them outside work.

Yep. Literally everyone has the same experience… and people still believe propaganda doesn’t work.

It’s a corporate lobby group that chose a government-sounding name to fool consumers. It’s just as much a piece of shit as every other corporate lobby.

Nah they don’t. I uploaded the exact same pic to a bunch of different work profiles (slack, google, microsoft). I inspected them out of curiosity and they were all different sizes and resolutions.

Forget your existing cloud. Your 2FA backup doesn’t need to be protected by 2FA; just encryption and a strong/unique passphrase. Your 2FA backup can’t be used to access any account on its own, without each password. Most OSS E2EE services allow you to create a free account; many without an email. Pick 2 for redundancy, create a NEW account, and set a NEW passphrase (like your 2nd “master” password). Before you transit upload your OTP backup to both of them.

This approach is probably more secure than SMS to access 2FA, especially vs a closed source provider like Authy, and especially if your 2FA export is also encrypted with a different password. If you’re already using a password manager and unique passwords for everything, you’re already 95% more secure than everyone else, and removed the primary need for 2FA (password reuse and theft). If you’re doing everything else right, 2FA only makes you 5-10% more secure, and covers far less-likely threats (email takeover, MITM, etc). Sys admins have been raw dogging SSH and PGP keys every day without a 2nd factor, for decades.

He was imprisoned for being a potentially dangerous moron. If he had the thing in a bag he would not be imprisoned for it, if it were found after a truly random search.
