  It does if you consider they are clearly doing it on purpose: the message is that they own the place and will sit wherever they want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s amazing. I never considered the idea that some antisemites make up a fake thing to turn people against Jews for being secretly powerful, and some instead go “powerful you say…? I want them on my side”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In the wise words of Chris Hannah: I’ll call you on your shit, please call me on mine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I fully support oughta, that’s clearly a deliberate choice and not a mistake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to move a sofa⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we all understand you are angry and I hope respect that. But saying it’s nice and good when people are helpful doesn’t imply that peiple who can’t help are not nice and good. There’s some kind of logical fallacy in that interpretation of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to move a sofa⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. Even if the task at hand really is moving a couch, coordinatin, organising, etc. are crucial contributions that dont require physical strength or ableness to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boys will be boys⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Animal cruelty and gym culture. Off to a good start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cool Japan 🌸⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can only say I agree. They are both poisons, if slightly different poisons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the Home Alone house then and now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did someone say lifeless and sterile?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cool Japan 🌸⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can people really no longer differentiate between xenophobia and racism?

  Not being pedantic, but misnaming thins only adds to the woes of the world, to (mis)quote Camus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You should tell them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thirsty much?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, isn’t the conclusion just Pascal’s wager?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thirsty much?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  >In a sweeping investigation of the music of megachurches and political rallies, a journalist asks: How did songs beloved by white evangelicals become the soundtrack of Christian supremacy’s war on democracy?

  Okay that looks genuinely interesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thirsty much?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Sanctuary gyms for repressed gay men are booming”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Ultimate Robot Knockout Legend (URKL) is a professional, freestyle combat sports league for full-sized humanoid robots. This is real.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks sad. The obsession with humanoid robots is making less and less sense by the decade.

  Support your local robot battle scene.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give the People What They Want⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t assume he’s on this flyer by choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation’s Physical Media-Free Future Isn’t Just Concerning, It’s Offensive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and this has been true for a long, long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Impossible to say if this poster is from this month or from the 80s.

  Apart from the Saturn-shaped controller, which means post 90s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mighty fine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is why we have two-factor authentication.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It contributes nothing to the conversation…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is why we have two-factor authentication.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Goated sounds disgusting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is why we have two-factor authentication.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry, I don’t see how your reply answers my request for providing a source for your claim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is why we have two-factor authentication.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Please provide a source to justify the “likely steals your data” comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is why we have two-factor authentication.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  MFA (a better term IMO for this) has nothing to go with phones, per se.

  It’s just about reducing risk by adding more proofs that the person claiming to have the right to do something has indeed the right to do something.

  Unless you have excellent password hygiene (long, random, different for every single site and service) the likelihood of having an account taken over goes up quite fast. The overwhelming majority of the population doesn’t, so forcing a second factor is a good way to limit damage.

  If you don’tt like the multi step process, look at psskeys. They aren’t perfect, but they offer nearly all the security benefits of MFA without having to go throughthrough multiple steps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is why we have two-factor authentication.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Briefly: look into sim swapping, which is the most obvious, day to day risk.

  Then there’s SS7 and how inherently trusting the whole system is.

  Then depending on where you are, some mobile networks still have terrible link encryption (were talking so bad a normal laptop is enough these days to break it on the fly). Granted, this is rare these days, in part thanks to the efforts of Karsten Knohl, SRLabs and other security researchers who did a lot to shine a light on this and SS7

  Not sure how up to date it still is, but https://gsmmap.srlabs.de/ shows how unequal networks are.

  Not even, there’s no biological need to eat animals or what they produce. We’ve established that much. It’s just a choice, a preference, a form of cruelty (“I don’t need to eat, but I will chose to because it pleases me, now suffer and die without bothering me”). Throwing their corpses to waste is just the cherry on top.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I use Ubuntu btw.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Silverblue manages to be exciting yet boring.

  As in, it is great for everyday work yet still uses newfangled tech under the hood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My favourite moment of the world cup is when there's more rules about advertising than the sport⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not providing the stadium. What, you think random car manufacturer or telecoms operator has a team dedicated to running highly specialised facilities like a stadium? They pay money to have their name on stadium for X years so you and I are “forced” to see and say their name when talking about stadium X. Then that deal changes hands and another company pays for the privilege of forcing their brand on us.

  FIFA offers an even bigger deal, so now the stadium covers the first advertiser to comply with the second advertiser.

  Thanks, helpful stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone using Stirling PDF? Worth it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see how that could be a simpler option. Thanks.
