I think you’re reacting to the wrong person as I didn’t make the NIH claim, but merely explained its meaning. :)

I think “Not Invented Here”. Meaning he wants to build everything himself from scratch despite there being alternatives he can use instead.

E.g.: Building your own httprequest library rather than using the existing one which is good enough.

The last page of issue 19 explains that in the last paragraph

Lmao - guess my joke about the copping a feel didn’t land. Guess I should’ve added in a /joke there.

It’s Molly Malone and her statue is in Dublin. Rubbing her boobs supposedly brings good luck.

I’m not sure where the good luck part came from… But leave it to men to classify copping a feel as a sign of good luck.

I think this setting is reset on a phone reboot.

I looked into that at one point, but 15$/month is quite steep just for that ( imo )

If it’s too hard to protect, you shouldn’t have it in the first place.

I also wonder what the OS is like. I need things like OxygenOS from OnePlus or something close to stock android.

All the bullshit UI from Samsung or Huawei or whatever is just atrocious. Terrible UI, no longtime support. Extra account shoehorned in.

Missed opportunity due complain about recall, bloatware, spyware and ads in an OS people pay for.

We have confiscated all the laptops we could find sir. They had a TERMINAL open. Filthy hackers!

The .htaccess file does nothing on nginx though.

This. I used to have a bunch of the games backed up on a hard drive because copying the files over & patching was faster than redownloading it.

Not to mention that if you want to type it in somewhere ( like your car for a Spotify account or whatever ) a passphrase like Hunter7-Tower-Ballsy9 is easier to type than some random gibberish with special chars.

In many places WhatsApp is the defacto standard unfortunately…

If its not that its something like Viber, or badoo or telegram or some other nightmare service…

If you have kids there is also not really getting away from it. Friends of mine have never had Facebook accounts until they had kids because the local football team or boyscout or whatever only uses Facebook to communicate…

I agree you can live your life comfortably without meta services, but sometimes, like in the example above, you dont have any alternatives…

You can’t keep harassing other parents to forward you messages or ask the team to print any messages specifically for you. Not having a Facebook account just gets “its easy to create” responses rather than “completely understandable, here’s our private matrix server to stay in the loop”.

Note: codium and codeium are two completely separate products.

Anonimity is keeping your identity private, but not your actions.

Privacy is keeping your actions hidden, but not your identity.

Using a VPN will hide your IP and make you more anonymous online. Using a personal CC to buy the vpn does not compromise that and does not defeat the purpose at all.

Only if your specific account ID is compromised could the personal CC be used against you by identifying you. E.g.: “they” found your bad email in an inbox of somebody who is less privacy conscious and are trying to figure out who festybear69@... is.

It depends on what your use-case/threat model is.

I think bitwarden checks all the boxes. It’s 3.33$ per month for a family plan ( 6 users). I’ve used it for a long time and I’m happy with it.

If you want more privacy you can always self host vault warden and use that. In which case you have full access to the premium features and you just pay the hosting costs.

Bitwarden can be set as the default password manager in browsers. Stores TOTP codes, has a browser plugin, has android app and iOS app.

Works flawlessly in my experience ( Linux/macbook/android).

No experience with iphones, but I assume it is fully supported.

Now there’s a word I’ve never heard in my life :D

Can’t say the android phones I’ve used have slowed down over the years ( mainly one plus ). I always stayed away from Samsung and the sort because they add too much bloat.

Not to mention that an update changed the power button to “activate bixby” and the constant harassing OD the Samsung app.

I bought the latest Samsung tablet and its underwhelming compared to the precious Samsung tablet I had. At this point I wish I had bought an iPad instead :/
