- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 10 hours ago:
If the registration email is compromised, the attacker can reset the password. So the password doesn’t offer any additional security, in actual practice, over just testing control of the registration email address.

It makes a sloppy user safer but increases the demands on a safe user while increasing their attack surface.

You can generate one-time-use email addresses by using the little-know mailbox field of the email address format:
kepix+you_can_write_anything_here_and_it_will_reach_your_inbox@gmail.comObviously this will not fool a human being into thinking you are a different person, but I have never encountered authentication code that two mailboxes at the same address to be the same person. This is useful for identifying the source of data breaches, when you start getting phishing attacks at your “kepix+reddit.com@gmail.com” address, and makes it trivial to train your spam/important filters.

Great if you want steamed beets. You can just blanch them if you want them roasted.

No don’t look it up, just assume that you know what it means without ever seeing a definition because your brain is just better than everyone else’s.

Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of open source software must comply with the following criteria:

- Comment on What We Talk About When We Talk About Sideloading 3 days ago:
“Installing” is also a made up term. We made up both those terms because they are useful for describing distinct things that exist in our lives. “Side loading” further specifies “installing”. I really don’t get why this is so controversial to a certain segment and I suspect I’m just not that kind of autistic.

The problem is less that people can’t afford to eat, it’s that they’ve been alienated from their food and don’t know what to do.

Don’t “skin” beets with a vegetable peeler. Blanch them and slide them out of their skins. It sounds like more work, but it’s so much less work.

Two week old change. Rather pointed.
Source code availability only partially addresses your parent’s concerns. I think it’s funny but I think it’s muuuuuuch bigger dick move than adopting an affectation, and it doesn’t reflect well on PieFed. I’m not going to review all the code in the project, I’m just going to pay less attention to the project overall.

The primary user has stated it’s because of AI. It doesn’t have to be effective to be the motivation.

That’s savage.

If you get high to cope, your situation might change, and then you might stop getting high. If you get high because you’re stubborn, well, that sucks.
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 1 week ago:
Before the Internet, I read books. Everywhere, constantly. Haven’t read a book since the 90s, probably.

One year, you could trade games at school. The next year, you couldn’t, because all anyone cared about were stupid consoles.

Perfect.

I hate this because “species” is more specific than “order”. It should have been, eg, “…not even my phylum!”

No, I don’t think so. You’ve introduced metagaming. It’s an interesting thing you’ve created, but it’s not the same kind of thing.

You’ve heard about Android, right? We all have like six months to find a new platform.

They’re not stopping it, they are planning to introduce it to the platform; no one side loads on Android today, because it’s not a walled garden yet.

- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 5 weeks ago:
No one is “cleared for psychosis”, it can occur to anyone and not just from psychiatric conditions. I cannot reason you into seeing this if you are in the middle of it, but I do sincerely hope you show this to someone in your life, even if it’s just because you’re curious what they would say. People in psychosis rarely intentionally do anything dangerous even when urged by its narrative, but they can easily accidentally do things to harm themselves and others, and it can place an enormous strain on relationships if left untreated.
