“Millionaire hit with $20 antitrust fine in Spain”

I really, really don’t like the “games as a service” thing Microsoft is trying to shove into the industry. Just watch, it will pan out exactly like the streaming services. Once the golden years (equivalent of OG Netflix) of “burn money by throwing in more games than we can afford” are over, we will gradually see fragmentation, price hikes, cost-cutting, etc.

Fuck Microsoft.

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but whatever.

That officers velumtuous ass is positioned almost perfectly as a focal point.

Golden retrievers: the goodest of boys.

True story, every time I see a golden retriever when driving (by myself), I say “WHAT A GOOD BOY” out loud habitually. Only goldens, and sometimes labs if they look extra behaved.

Maybe that’s cringe to some, but I adore these dogs.

So much talk, nothing to back it up. Blatant PR move.

“Intellectual pedigree” is the most pretentious things I’ve heard in a while …

We had an HP Inkjet printer for over 5 years, one of the older ones. Ink was expensive, but tbh everything else worked great.

Then we got our new HP Inkjet. Genuinely the worst machine I have ever owned. I can’t fucking scan anything without an HP account, and even then it hardly works. I’m going to buy a Brother laser printer soon, as soon as I bring it home that HP printer is going to be smashed to bits in my driveway.

Yes good point, I forgot about that.

It’s very obvious ragebait, just don’t respond, it’s what they want.

How right to repair is good for the consumer, complete lie. Daddy Tim Cook is keeping me safe with my glued in phone battery, anti-replacement display chip, Apple repair program required NDA, etc. He also bullies manufacturers into cutting off all direct-to-consumer sales of components, so that no nasty unsafe display ends up in my device. Thanks Tim, and fuck Louis! (obvious /s)

-Use your password manager for everything. 16-20 digit randomized passwords for each account. Change the password to everything you care about and put it in Bitwarden. Don’t host your own instance of Bitwarden, unless you have really good backups. If things go wrong you’re fucked.

-Your master password should be 5-7 words strung together. Brand names, uncommon words, etc. Avoid dictionary words except for 1 or 2. Use random brands, not something you own that can be socially engineered. Write it down, work on memorizing it for a week or so, then throw it away.

-Use 2FA on Bitwarden. If you can afford it, buy 2 yubikeys. One for your car keys, and one for a safe place at home. Add both to your account as your only 2FA method. This way there is zero possibility of an online attack. The only way your account could be compromised (outside of a software vulnerability) is a highly-targeted in-person attack, in which case, you have way bigger things to worry about. If you can’t afford 2, than buy 1 and print out a Bitwarden 2FA backup code to store in a very safe place at home.

-This one is important: NEVER EVER USE SMS 2FA, too many things can go wrong (see: sim swapping). Pay the $10 a year for Bitwarden Premium and use the OTP 2FA codes. If a website doesn’t have OTP (most do nowadays, it’s usually labeled as the “authenticator app” option), than SMS is ok, just try to avoid it.

If you follow these instructions, I see no probable scenario in which you would have a breach caused by something on your end. A breach in Bitwarden (with it being FOSS and highly-audited, this is pretty unlikely) or, more likely, a breach in the service your account is using are the two scenarios you would realistically be breached.

Also, you’re very very unlikely to be locked out of Bitwarden as long as you keep 1 yubikey and/or a printed backup code in a safe space at all times. If you end up with brain damage and forget your password, you’d be fucked I guess, but if you’re that worried than write your password on paper in an obvious safe space. That definitely hurts your security though.

You could also fall for scams and/or social engineering, but that’s a topic way beyond the scope of this post.

I disagree. But, if true, we have been trolled to an elite level.

Good to know, thank you.

I used Calyx for months, it’s great. Switched to GrapheneOS for some reason, I can’t remember, and haven’t had any reason to switch.

Holy shit, that is so unhinged. Multiple accounts of, what seem to me like, paranoid delusions from the GrapheneOS dev. As a user this is concerning, and I will keep an eye on it going forwadd.

Darranged, racist and borderline-transphobic Denuvo cracker who goes off on unhinged rants pretty often. Generally what she says doesn’t hold much weight.

Check the FreeMediaHeckYeah wiki, but as far as I know 1337x is still generally safe.

As someone who uses GrapheneOS, and likes Louis Rossman, this is very concerning. Could you link me to some info on this?
