  Every country has a different way of securing cards, and north america sucks at it.

  Depending on the payment processor, here in Canada you need my card number, as well as one or two of the following: PIN, Postal Code, CVV/CVC, a voice changer and my mother’s maiden name, etc to do a transaction without my physical card.

  With my physical card you don’t even need that for $2-300 purchases (depending on retailer), or more if the retailer hasn’t blocked swiping/the thief has access to a swiping card reader.

  I had to reread this twice before I realised you mean with the rear brake and not the dumbass method of putting your foot to the ground to brake.

  Honestly how I feel about aigen communities.

  Console commands should not be a requirement to play a game that they claimed was in a releasable state. Also, some players are on a steam deck, where console commands are difficult to make use of on the go.

  Boiling your toys is both good for sanitary reasons, and fun in its own right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there a trustworthy SMS MMS app for Android that's not Google?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am using it still, but honestly every update that I notice has made it more annoying to use - most recently adding extra confirmations to choose even a single image to send. It also hasn’t made proper support for message reactions yet, which is annoying since my contacts are increasingly using them in place of responses.

  My spouse gave up on it when it stopped sending images consistently for her, and their response was to blame an app that she did not even have for the issue.

  Unfortunately fossify messenger isn’t there yet for me either, and Google’s SMS feels horrible compared to textra now.

  Their habitat has also shrunk so much, and their population dwindled so much, that they have gotten fairly inbred and that is causing more aggression and insanity.

  There is also a female polar that keeps breeding with grizzlies, and those offspring are consistently more aggressive and dangerous.

  I haven’t watched S3 yet because my partner finds the VA change too jarring, but the first 2 seasons were quite enjoyable.

  Not unless you can afford to spend $3k/month on a glorified gacha game.

  Assholes are, but that’s not what it’s for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Would You Like To See Improved in GNU/Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I have seen that, but that windows partition is long gone, and I have done my best to reset the controller.

  Plus switch controllers can only remember 1 device at a time the the moment I connected it to my switch that should have resolved?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Would You Like To See Improved in GNU/Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Improve pipewire/pulseaudio to be more user friendly - to play different sound on both my tv and computer I have to use pipewire, set the audio device to pro mode, and then scroll through the 10 new devices listed to guess which 2 I need, with their incredibly unhelpful names.

  And then, if I want loudness equalization because I have problems hearing voices, I have to run easy effects after looking up a guide for installing someone’s preset that does an ok job compared to the windows version.

  Not to mention I have no idea why Linux aggressively turns off my audio driver whenever something isn’t playing, even though it takes almost 5 seconds after audio starts to turn back on, and I get to constantly listen to the crackle of my speakers turning on every time an app checks if I even have audio.

  Oh, and for an unrelated gripe, for some reason Linux refuses to let my bt adaptor connect to my switch controller, even though the same adaptor worked fine on windows.
