I was a bit of a picky eater when I was younger, but I’ve become much, much less so over the years - one of the few things I’ve never come around on is olives. The taste and texture combination just don’t work for me

Damn, you definitely didn’t catch their pretty side

I would definitely like to have duck more often. I only rarely get it for myself as a treat but god damn is it the best bird going.

Good resellers do, but I think my point still stands - why risk any of that when Microsoft doesn’t get your money either way?
MAS/Massgrave works effectively, is open source, is well-documented, and literally free.

Considering the grey market is filled with dodgy keys, it’d be better to just pirate, especially when there are easy and safe ways to do it like with MAS

If you must have MS office, then I’d go with MAS/Massgrave like others have said.

It’s well documented, requires minimal setup (if going default route), and is much less risky than going into the grey market for keys or downloading cracks elsewhere.

True. While it’s definitely more secure than their other 2FA offering (storing them with your passwords), it’s still the same developers making both - so it still feels like putting all my eggs in one basket.

For IOS I can see this as a valid option, because unless you are willing to trust Microsoft, Google, or Authy with your 2FA, which I personally don’t think one should, then you haven’t got too many options.

But on Android there are plenty others that are known to be reliable, Aegis for example, so the value proposition is lessened for me at least.

Cool idea for anyone who doesn’t already use Bitwarden for their passwords, but I would be awfully sceptical of having my passwords and 2FA codes stored on the same service - only one breach required to royally screw me up

Selotape? It’d have to be something that sticks on it’s own

I’m a bit late to the party, but I would be inclined to agree with the majority here. Your choice to have their cookies deleted on browser close is adding more friction to an already quite high friction process - you managed to get them to switch over, you don’t want to undo all that over cookies of all things.

You have to remember, it is their machine at the end of the day, and while you might be able to put up with having to redo 2FA loads due to cookie deletion, they’re clearly not… And if that’s going to be the dealbreaker, you’re far better off forgetting cookie deletion for now and focusing on more passive privacy options like blocking 3rd party cookies, trackers, and ADs.

The stem - even if the other side is more optimal, I hate the brown bit, so I prefer to open at the stem (which isn’t usually that hard) and throw that part away when I get to the end.

Oh great they get to collect and make money off of “anonymous technical data” for years, and their punishment for doing all that is to delete the data, and swear they won’t collect anymore of it for the next few years??

They already made their money off of people’s data! This isn’t a meaningful punishment, hell it’s barely a slap on the wrist.

I’d love to chance to play a bunch of nostalgic titles - just off the top of my head I’d play DOOM, Uplink, Darwinia, Morrowind, and my trashy favourite from that era Themepark world. There are definitely more if I had time to think about it.

Yeah - I do find it odd when people say Facebook is dying, because it really isn’t. Unless Zuckerberg pulls a Musk anytime soon, it isn’t going anywhere - unlike Xitter, Facebook is an advertising juggernaught that makes more than enough money to keep itself afloat.

And that’s not even mentioning Facebook groups, news pages, business pages, the market place, etc… they’ve got fingers in many different pies, and it shows.

And even more, while it may not be popular amongst tech savvy folks, it is still insanely popular amongst regular folks. I for one can vouch that a significant proportion of my non-techy friends use either it or Instagram as their primary social media.

Hell, that’s why messenger is up there too - everyone has Facebook, so everyone has messenger, making it extremely convenient to message people you know. It’s certainly why I use it a lot, it’s where my friends are.

Meta dominates social media even now - just look at your list. Of the top seven, over half of them are Meta.

We’re always told the people at the bottom rung of society, the people doing “entry level” jobs just need to work harder and harder to earn a proper living…

But how does that work really? Unlike a lot of high level jobs, none of these jobs just exist for the sake of existing, most of these “entry level” jobs are essential to society (we saw that much during the pandemic).

Somebody has to do them or society just doesn’t work, so don’t the people doing these literally essential jobs deserve to be paid a fair living wage? They’re working just as hard as the people above them, yet they’re paid peanuts in comparison

…

That’s the hill Pope Francis is willing to die on? - that Gender ideology is the ugliest danger today?
Not Russia’s endless onslaught against the Ukrainian people or Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people?
Pope Francis needs to get outside more often.

Dude - you’re either stupid enough to not realise the irony of what you’ve just said, or you’re trolling. For your sake, I kinda hope it’s the latter

Ignoring the fact that you’re clearly high as a kite - it’s all tricks your brain does to conserve resources. Without any focus or filter, your brain would very quickly spread it’s resources too thinly, and subsequently burn out.

It is much easier for your brain to process a lot of data about a small number of things, than a small amount of data on many, many things.
