  • I personally mind because its microsoft. I don't like them nor do i trust them. There is stuff i use where i don't mind the telemetry and i leave it on to help developers. But microsoft is not one of them.

  • Oh this is a good post for me! This happened to me. I had my pc drive encrypted so when it boots, i need to provide it with the password before it boots my OS. I use bitwarden to store my passwords and my bitwarden needs my 2FA code to unlock.

    I wanted to install the newest version of LineageOS on my phone so i backed up everything to my pc and made sure i had everything backed up properly.

    Then i wiped my phone and downloaded the new LineageOS iso and had to put it on my phone using ADB. But it had an issue to where it wouldn't detect the phone. So i thought "Let me reboot my PC real quick because that might fix it."

    Presses reboot.......... "Please type your password to decrypt your harddrive: "

    Fuck....

    I have never had a worse panic attack in my life. EVERYTHING was on that drive. My work, my photos, my bank info, my entire life was on that encrypted drive.

    But my password was on bitwarden. And to unlock bitwarden i needed my 2FA. Which i had backed up on my drive... which was now encrypted and i couldn't unlock anymore.

    I absolutely fucking lost it.

    I dug through the entire house and after almost 8 hours of searching i found one of my old laptops in a box in the attic. I suddenly i got the idea that MAYBE i had once backed up my phone stuff before because i ran the phone OS it came with and i then at one point installed LIineageOS.

    I dug through every single folder and suddenly i found an old vault backup of the two-factor authenticator UNENCRYPTED app that i had used before.

    I send it to my wife's phone and imported it into the app. The ONLY account that was on there... was bitwarden.

    After almost 14 hours of pure stress and panic, i was able to decrypt my harddrive.

    So my PERSONAL advice is ALWAYS store a physical backup.

    I don't want to go through that stress ever again.

  • I refuse to use the official youtube app. Its so trash... I use newpipe and its amazing to just have all my favorite videos bookmarked locally in different lists.

    If they take that away from me i will just stop using youtube.

  • Yeah its like they don't understand the difference between just looking at someone that has a cool haircut and someone creep staring at you to where you feel unsafe.

    I don't want people staring at me like I'm a zoo animal. Bur apparently people in the comments here don't understand that.

  • Italy is very lazy. Same as how they cant be fucked making a pizza sometimes so they fold it and call it a Calzone. Or being to lazy to make lasagna so they just mix it all and called it lasagnette. Smh 🤦

  • If they REALLY want it to be like discord, why not use Revolt?

    https://revolt.chat/

    I don't understand.

    One that really ticked me off was that "the legend of zelda ocarina of time" pc build "ship of harkinian".

    I have never had such a tough time installing something. You have to do everything through their discord and it was a complete fucking mess.
