If you're memorizing your password, don't change it too often because it'll just confuse you and encourage you to pick easy to remember passwords which are less secure. Change your password if you hear about a hack, or have reason to suspect your password got leaked. Otherwise there's no need.

If you have a password manager though, go off. Change it as often as you'd like.

(Also 2FA, unique passwords per site, etc etc etc)

A Windows VM running Windows terminal, SSH'd back into the host, obviously.

Honestly I stick with whatever the default is and never had a problem that led me to find anything else.

I have my primary, and my secondary, and my secondary secondary.

Leader/follower works though.

Look at Amazon and their Fire TV platform. It's just android, with all of the Google stuff stripped out.

Sure, Google may not be getting any money for that, but they are getting more dev time and attention on the open source parts of Android which helps to solidify the base of the OS which helps them.

And Android got popular because it was open and manufacturers could build phones that support it without necessarily needing to involve Google (or at least without needing to certify it or meet strict standards) which let the platform grow significantly. If Google closed it up today it would likely cause a fork in the Android platform ecosystem and you'd end up with "Google Android" on pixel and "Open Android" on all others.

No legal issues at all. Worst case they will blackball you from interviewing at that company for a few years, and tell other companies in that industry, or others that work with those recruoters at least, that you're a flake and try to get you blackballed there too. And that's going to be incredibly rare and only really happen if you're an asshole about it or no-call-no-show the interview and waste their time.

Politely decline to continue with them, they'll probably appreciate that you're being honest and not wasting their time interviewing you for you to just say no later.

"I've decided to pursue other endeavors, thank you for your time".

The last update I heard (granted that was weeks ago now) was that the capsule was faulty but still perfectly functional for reentry. They just wanted to do more testing first since reentry would also destroy their opportunity to learn more about what's wrong.

Its apparently still entirely functional for emergency reentry.

Did it die or did it just change? Gaming is still a huge industry and online games are still super popular. What do you mean it "died"?

A good relationship is founded on friendship in one way or another.

Oh you didn't hear about the pricing update.... Sex costs 15 now, but you can redeem 6 for a hug if you ask nicely.

Escape incel culture with this one simple trick! (tm)

It seems like incels, or at least Tate-holes, treat every conversation as a challenge with the reward being sex.

Just be friends with people. Who fucking cares if you end up in a romantic relationship, allow yourself to form close intimate friendships that aren't physical.

Finding pockets of self sufficiency, or at least ways to prevent falling down to the bottom.

Universal basic income helps this by making sure everyone has at least enough to live on.

Homesteading and community gardens help this by making sure you at least have some basic amount of food available to you.

Building walkable cities helps.this by allowing you to avoid or reduce the expenses of a car.

Building resilient cities that leverage adaptive reuse help this by making it cheaper to start new small community businesses that keep money local.

The solutions aren't in the system of money we choose, it's in building small sustainable ways to provide for basic needs, even in a small way.

Many registrars let you buy a domain and set up dynamic DNS for it within their system so you can own a domain and get dyndns on it.

Otherwise you could accomplish it with a VPS but you'd only need the smallest one available because it would just need to run nginx to forward to your home ip (and a small tool to update that IP when it changes). So you could probably get something for less than $5/mo.

At first, rapid heart rate, feeling unreasonably nervous to see them then overjoyed when you do. Happy to just gaze at them for hours or getting lost in their eyes.

Sometimes that dulls a bit with time (sometimes not) and is supplemented by feeling connected to them always and wanting to include them in your life. Wanting to do anything to make them smile and make them feel seen. And feeling seen yourself.

AI is decent for writing, but a terrible choice for math.

Not too sure, but when I was younger I wanted to fit in and picking colorful stuff made that harder. Id worry about it being on trend, or masculine enough, etc. Now that I'm in my 30s I said fuck it and am getting more colorful.

Doesn't help that I grew up with a mother who refuses to paint her walls anything but off-white or pale green for resale value. There was so little character.

Daily: Phone, wallet, car/house keys

Frequently also: bike keys, yubikey, Miyoo Mini (retro handheld), pocket knife (varies, but usually a Leatherman Squirt), and a small flashlight.

I have no desire to change.

I'm sure an iPhone would be a completely acceptable phone for me but I have no problems with android that iOS would solve. My phone already does everything I want it to do and more.

And I don't want to re-learn what all the best apps are. I already found great ones for what I need and I know many of them would be different on iOS. No need for me to go through that relearning.

More than that though, I love that my android can do USB OTG and allow me to plug in flash drives, SD cards, game controllers, and Ethernet adapters. I love that i can change the home screen app to entirely change the interface. I like that I can root it when it's getting slow to debloat it a bunch, or do thorough backups, or fuck around with app files. I love that the dev ecosystem doesn't require a yearly subscription.

Sometimes you have to make a tradeoff and focus on the golden path, which means comprehensive testing has to be skipped or bugs have to be explicitly left in.

Yes it's bad. Yes it sucks. But it's that or nothing gets released at all.

(I wish it wasn't that way. I try hard to make sure it isn't that way at my job, but for now that's how it is)

+1.

You'll get better stories from someone's deathbed than from someone's suicide note. At the end of their life what do they regret, what are they happy they did, what advice do they have to give.

I don't expect suicide notes to be filled with "if only I studied harder, then I wouldn't have to end it all".
