Neither is sufficient. Both are necessary.

Again, sew it shut with webbing. But you can use super glue in a pinch. That should keep it shut

I bought one of these once. Dumped them all out and wrapped in packaging tape. Its super small and a lifetime of needles. I break maybe one every other year.

If you ride a bicycle and keep getting holes in your ass, I recommend patching with webbing. Think seatbelt material.
You can buy a roll of it from Johanns. They sell it for weaving the seats of outdoor chairs.

I prefer a floss container. Bonus, you get floss for thread.

“I can literally kill hundreds of animals per year and roll coal in my truck because its someone else’s problem”
“Also I don’t know the difference between ‘necessary’ and ‘sufficient’”

Us traveling kids just use floss for thread. Works great.
Welcome home, fam.

Nah, Half of the credit unions in the US use software that uses TOTP for 2FA.
My bank in EU does not, so I have to have a physical hardware token to generate OTPs, due to broken regulations

Yes and no. Most firmware this is impossible.

No, he’s talking about you being (mis)identified as an ICE agent. Because this tech sucks.
- Comment on An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks 1 day ago:
The author said its 60% faulty. So everyone is an ice agent, after enough time

Don’t install gapps. And ffs don’t use banking on insecure devices anyway

Exactly.

When I was tasked with buying laptopa for a company, I made sure to test Linux compatibility on every machine. If the model didn’t support Linux, we didn’t buy it.
Most of the devs were windows users, but there were enough devs and sysadmins that preferred Linux that it just made more sense to only buy hardware that supports both windows and Linux.
Corporate pressure would never allow such lockdown in the market

Just sub what they said with “Graphene, Calyx, iode, etc” and its true

The workaround has been around for as long as Android has been around: use AOSP and don’t use gapps

You’re describing Secure Boot. It happened years ago.
And, btw, the Android thing also doesn’t affect anyone without gapps. Chill out.

403 error. Congrats, you built a broken system of false-posutives.

- Comment on Still no EU action on Israel, despite Gaza famine 3 days ago:
The UN isn’t buying and selling arms to Israel.
I don’t think the UN has sanctions on Cuba, either.
Both of those things are done by States.
- Comment on Still no EU action on Israel, despite Gaza famine 4 days ago:
Is this image suggesting that they gave up on walkie talkies because everyone is on their smartphones now?
- Comment on Still no EU action on Israel, despite Gaza famine 4 days ago:
Define “action”
They have identified it as a famine. And almost every day they say it’s Israel intentionally starving people as a weapon of war.

That means they’re tracking you. Probably should fix your issue on Firefox and uninstall the app.

I think araon works very effectively, historically
- Comment on Imgur's Community Is In Full Revolt Against Its Owner 5 days ago:
Yes, that’s a bullshit lie. They give that error when they false-postive ban you, usually when you’re using some tech to prevent them from tracking/fingerprinting you and selling your info.
Because, “fuck marginalized folks like domestic abuse survivors and refugees”, apparently

Didn’t imgur become unusable like 2 years ago?
