That's good then. A lot of stuff uses the standard numberpad.

The thing with pattern unlock is that it is inherently less secure than the other options

Does Graphene scramble the keypad between PIN entries? If not, it's functionally the same as a pattern unlock.

Carolina style, with a nice mustard vinegar base

Out of all the displays in the house, there's only one 4k computer monitor. The dumb tv is a 1080p, my other monitor is a 720p, then my partner has a DVI and a VGA monitor for his computer.

Yeah, because fuck people with bad eyesight amirite.

My hypothesis is that it's a frog in a pot of water scenario. Western Union started the first charge account in 1914, so we've had a long time to get used to the water heating up. It probably did start with honest intentions to make things work a little smoother, but I remember the early days of digitizing records, and there was a LOT of loose data just there for the taking.

I remember that I used to work at RadioShack in the late '00s, and I had to escalate up to district because we discovered a treasure trove of old paper store credit applications that had been cached somewhere in the backrooms, and my manager wanted to just throw them in the normal garbage and not risk the cost of the extra shredding coming out of her bonus.

These things had SO MUCH INFO, handwritten out onto a paper form; name, birthday, SSN, mailing address, street address, then all that info of the spouse/cosigner that wanted to be on the account too. I could have made so much money on the black market, looking back.

The culture wars have reached the fediverse, and it's making me less happy to be here. I don't want to hang out in places where people use slurs and insults, even if they're not aimed at me. I'm seeing more casual misogyny/misandry, more casual use of the r**** slur, more perfectionist gatekeeping, more assumptions, and just less good-faith comments in general.

I'd advertise, but I'm starting to look for an alternative to lemmy.

What about poker?

it seems odd to including gaming for Grandma

Why? Back in the 90s, my great-grandmother learned how to use the family computer (it ran DOS) because she wanted to play the Wheel of Fortune video game.

Oh, I understand. I was trying to snarkily imply that the smug, autofellating, condescending attitude you mentioned was unfortunately endemic, to the point where it's starting to feel like some people are secretly jorking it while telling newbs they suck. I think it's a huge reason why people feel like FOSS isn't for them.

I mean, #6 is accurate for me. I don't have a humiliation fetish, so I'd rather pay people to tell me what I'm doing wrong instead of braving the barrage of belittlement that comes from asking for crowdsourced support.

At least they taste better than most testicles I've had in my mouth before.
