I am very shitty on security (I would not write this reply on a post on the cybersecurity community), and I resisted MFA for several years as being too annoying having to login to mail/SMS. After finding open source apps supporting TOTP, I feel better about it and I manually do the syncing by just transferring the secrets between my devices offline.

Passkeys are another foreign thing that I think I will get used to eventually, but for now there are too many holes in support, too much vendor lock-in (which was my main distaste for MFA, I didn't want MS or Google Authenticator), and cumbersome (when email and SMS were the only options for MFA, difficulty of portability for passkeys).

The plaintiff here sounds like a insufferable enough colleague to not want to write a card to, regardless of gender.

Yes, i'm just making fun of the verbose nature of PowerShell commands.

Seems interesting. As far I know I think why not, as long as you place Dragging Equipment Detectors (example) before and after the installation areas. Seems a good a place as any for solar panels, especially on only occasionally frequented lines.

Any notion that taxpayers are taking on risk here is fanciful given that any loan will be backstopped by Constellation's entire $80-billion-plus value.

Not to worry taxpayers, despite us paying out dividends to equity holders, our $70 billion plus value means this loan is still safe and sound!

Don't worry taxpayers about us spinning off 90% of our assets to Galaxy Brain Energy, a totally independent and different energy company that we didn't just pull out of our ass. The loan is still backed by our $7 billion plus value, trust!

Invoke-WebRequest

To comply with the court decision, Microsoft have added a super easy to use PowerShell command to install your favourite browser!

Expectation: it doesn't work well at all

Result: It kinda works?

Some nasty jerks they are. Well now internationally famous nasty jerks.

I remember using Reddit years ago on Links. New Reddit was borderline unusable, old Reddit worked... okayish. How is Default web UI Lemmy on Links? Is there a nice TUI client that I guess you would use more regularly?

I mean it's safe to say it was probably the last opportunity to do a protest on that scale even before these changes. Maybe they can still do "remove any post on wellthatsucks that isn’t a vacuum" type of change.

Probably old Reddit imploding will bring a few more this way, but safe to say that most people who left Reddit because it's changed for the worse since 5-15 years ago have already left. Still, I have seen a few new users join Lemmy after TechLinked mentioned the site and a continuous trickle would be welcome.

On another note, hearing the "council of Reddit moderators" makes me imagine a cringeworthy meetup in someone's basement.

Yeah seems legit, "party of family values" - let's rent some women for your photoshoot. I wonder if they consulted Mike Pence's binders to find them.
