There is a theory that sanctions against a country with a tyrannical ruler hurt the common people more than the oligarchs / dictator. But eventually they do make life more difficult for that ruler

I didn't see anyone else say this so I'll chime in: when I've had to keep bulky things on a keyring (a CPR pocket mask comes to mind) I'll put it on its own small keyring and then hang that on the main keyring with the keys. It isn't a perfect solution, but it helps a lot.

Why does this read like an ad for cybertrucks for people who would want to run over deer

My sister and her friends use Reddit now for things that they never did before.

I hate feeling like the things I called about (3rd party apps, my comments not being used in AI, etc) just don't matter for the majority of people, and Reddit is being rewarded monetarily for getting rid of people like me.

I loved the one with downloading martial arts directly into your brain

Too much in the open source community is people saying this is great! Always has been. You shouldn't crap on people being honest about the problems that have existed, because track record is important

Isn't telegram a for-profit company?

Great because I hated matrix 1, hopefully two will be better

I used to buy Macs when I was a teenager and young adult, but finally grew tired of the "my way or the highway" approach to design.

Windows is guilty of this too, but it's more subtle, but getting worse all the time with w11.

Linux has more of a "you break it, you buy it" approach to design lol

I use nextcloud notes because I already have nextcloud and my needs are not that sophisticated

You're right if I get a virus I'm pretty cooked. Except I think to set 2fa up on the attacker's device they'd need the phone authenticator to set it up the first time, so hopefully they couldn't do it unless they used my computer remotely to login to websites.

But the password manager locks after 15 min and you have to put a pin in to unlock and decrypt.

I'm not sure what brute force mechanisms it has against the pin.

Re-entering the 2fa each session is annoying but it's way better than having to do it on each individual site from my phone.
