I have seen dragons. Perhaps you will see a dragon. I won't say where I saw one. Perhaps I did not.

Buy an unlocked one from box box stores. Bought mine from best buy. Immediately threw GrapheneOS on it. Coming from a locked down Samsung s9 that I couldn't root to an degoogled android experience I didn't even have to root is fucking awesome!

We also know that these back doors are entry points for other bad often state actors. There is no reasonable use for them to exist!

I rebuild my OS sometimes three times a year.

So I need a 2FA application? Just seems a little ridiculous as that is what I use email for. So my bw pass is well over 25 chars and I need to have another app that requires an equally strong pass. Just seems a little overkill! Especially changing passwords every year.

My email pass is over 25 more or less random characters that I change about once a year. That's why I use bitwarden!

My problem with this is my email accounts are locked behind bitwarden. Can't login to email without bitwarden. If both my devices get stolen at the same time I'm fucked. I'm not going to pay for premium to enable a emergency contact.

Downloaded bitwardens authenticatior app. Now firefox on my computer is asking for me to press on a security key which I assume is some sort of biometrics my computer doesn't have.

I love 2FA I just don't see how it is supposed to work if you need bitwarden to open your email to get your 2FA code.

Let's say your backpacking through south america and both your devices get robbed. Your ticket home is in your email. What's the solution here? You can't go to a coffee shop and login to your email because its securely locked behind bitwarden. You can't login to bitwarden because you can't access your 2FA from your email.

What am I missing?

I would bet your right. One of the best collections of screensavers out there. I know they work on X but I haven't yet tried on Wayland. Guess when I get home I'll give it a try.

I'm not sure I want the reddit/fb,/twitt people here. I personally think not having them here makes lemmy a better place, people are generally nicer here and I like that. The larger lemmy gets the bigger target we are for those large scale misinformation campaigns as well.

In particular, there was “Liv,” the Meta AI account that has a bio describing itself as a “Proud Black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller,” and told Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah that Liv had no Black creators — the bot said it was built by “10 white men, 1 white woman, and 1 Asian male,” according to a screenshot posted on Bluesky

I think the Proud Black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller bit explains perfectly why they released the bots onto the wild. They are there to spread misinformation and guide conversations through the use of that misinformation hoping that you don't notice and even sympathise with their manipulation machine.

The reason FDR's policies are being undone is we have no actual representation, just corporate capture. His polices remained firm till Buckley VS Valeo, the beginning of the end of our democracy.
