SMS is fine for 2FA, as long as you can’t use it for anything else, like a password reset.

Once the SMS is used for account recovery, it’s now 1FA with a terrible security hole.

If you have complex, single use passwords, and have SMS 2FA, then it’s pretty ok. Not the best security, but at least better than a most.

Obviously offline time based passkeys are better for the 2FA, but typically the real problem is how to get into an account if you’ve lost one part of your login.

Renamed to Apple Account.

Saved you a click.

I like to pick 1901, so it looks like a 123 year old is playing The Witcher 3.

Whoa, really??? I guess I just assumed nothing changed in the last 5 years. I need to look into that.

Not the only use cases, but you’d need a different service if you need/want wildcard certs, certs that are manually installed and managed, or certs with a longer expiration.

Well you certainly accomplished a lot. I’m proud of you.

Been using a VPN since the start, never had a problem posting.

You don’t have to take Signal’s word for it, because it’s been audited. The EFF, who are VERY privacy minded, and do extensive research into this type of thing, recommends Signal because it’s known to be secure.

Signal

Not that the action against Telegram is right, but there’s a big difference between what Signal and Telegram is doing.

That’s cause your eyes skipped the first panel and instantly jumped to panel 2.

Outdated advice (unless buying older stuff) Brother has enshittified like the rest.

I fight for privacy to protect myself.

Now, what am I protecting myself from? I don’t think anyone is going to come arrest me for what I do. I don’t think any big companies are going to leak my data and embarrass me. I don’t think anyone is going to compromise my bank and drain my funds.

I am protecting myself from being influenced by advertising and targeted news.

I am protecting my thoughts and feelings, because in the end, that’s all that really matters. I don’t want to need the next toy, or jump on a bandwagon. I don’t want to see advertising and I don’t want a carefully crafted worldview pushed on me.

That’s a bit misleading, they did receive a request, and a search warrant was attempted, but since the data they wanted didn’t exist, nothing happened.

Good link, but just the word yes didn’t accurately answer the question.

I worked retail for several years. After a while it just becomes normal. It helps a LOT if you’re actually walking around and not just standing in one spot.

I can walk for a few miles without sitting down without being uncomfortable at all, but standing in one spot for 15 minutes bothers my feet.

That’s an interesting question to ponder.

That’s awesome, look forward to trying it out.

That and planned parenthood.

If there are two orgs that care deeply about privacy, but do a lot of good in the world, those would be it.

Most phones that are plugged in 100% of the time allow the battery to drop to 80% and then hold there.

It’s pretty new, and only starts after a week or so plugged in.
