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

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.

>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 The Ultimate Robot Knockout Legend (URKL) is a professional, freestyle combat sports league for full-sized humanoid robots. This is real. 1 week ago:
This looks sad. The obsession with humanoid robots is making less and less sense by the decade.
Support your local robot battle scene.

Impossible to say if this poster is from this month or from the 80s.
Apart from the Saturn-shaped controller, which means post 90s.

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

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

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.

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.
- Comment on Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't. 5 weeks ago:
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. 5 weeks 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 1 month 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.

Run it on a separate machine / account. In big corporate environments, your user account could be disabled by the time you walk into the meeting room.
Better solution, if you can, work for open source companies: at least the codebase is already public!
