I understand your point but if it’s obvious, it’s likely easily-guessable and although you are thinking in terms of regaining access to your account, it’s just as important to keep other people from being able to gain access to your account by either guessing it or using social engineering to retrieve the answer.

I’ve used a password manager for many years (1password then bitwarden) and have never had an “oh shit” moment. I use a master password that I’ll never forget, have never needed a hint and have never lost or corrupted a password. I feel that as long as you treat your password manager as something that’s important and deserves your careful management, you’ll be a-ok. I have never once had an issue that was created by the manager itself.

Making the MP hint obvious makes it pointless, in regards to the security to every password you have stored.

That depends, would it work as well as our efforts of banning guns and drugs?

Meta and everything they do and stand for is why I chose Signal over Whatsapp.

It made no positive change in the surplus of weapons on the street. The only people that turned them in were people that would have never used them in the first place and many people in the deep red areas, like where I lived actually went out and bought more guns because they saw it as the beginning of forcefully taking their guns from them.

I would suspect that the only people that benefited from the program was the weapon industry and might have even helped get the program in place.

I consume content here via all/new so my block list is used to make sure I don’t see users, communities and instances that keep me from enjoying my time here. It’s lengthy but does the job well.

Perhaps it’s more complex than a single reason but I believe all scenarios would most likely fall into the bucket of “things were that easy for them and they lack the critical thought to realize that it’s not that easy for everyone else”.

Boomers were buying houses and cars with only one person working, retiring at a decent age and living on mostly social security.

Generational wealth has ensured that their offspring would never have to struggle.

Some settled into a job that truly does pay for all their necessities.

etc., ad nauseum.

Basically, it’s a throwaway statement and I don’t think anyone should lose any sleep feeling like they need to further discuss it with them or defend themselves. They are clearly incapable of stepping outside of their knee-jerk assumptions to find out if they’re accurate or not.

Bugatti Veyron.

I had no idea either but I did find this while Googling(Kagi-ing?)

I’ll mourn him in the same way he mourns others.

Of course they do. That was literally my point. Musk didn’t bother to hide it so we don’t need new studies to show that’s how they operate.

Absolutely nobody needed a new study to show the risks. We all saw what could happen as Musk altered Grok to behave in manners that he approved of.

II absolutely love that multilingual in the language of rant. You deserve more ups than I can give.

Wow, I’m really sorry you went through that but it makes me want to suggest using something like privacy.com for future subscriptions and purchases. You can create virtual cards that you can make merchant locked(so if a scammer got the number, they couldn’t run it), one-time use, and with a total or monthly limit. In this case, you could have simply paused or canceled the card you used for of as you were being told you needed to write a letter. I’ve used it for years in this manner and I’ve never paid a dime for the service, their free tier provides everything I need.

I think they take a ton of heat on it and most employees just don’t even try when you come in to cancel. Two out of three PF accounts in our house were canceled at different times and both times, the person behind the counter didn’t ask a single question, just wiped the account and told us to have a great day.

I’ve been pegged as one who serially modals online.

They have been surveiling us for years. They just to maximize what they can collect.

nowhereelsetoshare@sh.itjust.works doesn’t seem to have any rules against politics. Go on with your bad self over there and let us dirty bastards know what the real deal is. I personally look forward to you fixing us.

Rather than try out other people’s preferences, browse all / new, invest a little time learning how to block instances, communities and users and in no time you’ll be browsing content you want to see. Not what any of us want you to see.
