Could you elaborate on the ethical part, please?

I don't need that: I live in a city. Suburbs suck.

I live car-free, and I travel over 40 miles every now and then.

Bikes are great. Just saying.

I'm kinda tired of hearing bs like “if only linux was good enough”.

It is. You just have to install and use it.

It's just a quote from the article, but good to know.

Cara has no passwords: you log in via Google or Apple

uhuh, no thanks

That's exactly the point: get a cheap new phone number, preferrably one that doesn't link back to your identity. And it's typically an online service, otherwise it's not gonna be cheap or private (in my country anyway).

I'd do the opposite from what OP wants: a second line for online platforms.

I don't think avoiding your potential employer seeing you reposting something like fuckworkmemes is taking privacy too far 😉

They don't provide end-user apps, do they? It's just APIs and SDKs.

Yes, but I wouldn't like them to find my profile on one of the social networks that require a phone number. I might've said something not so nice about my current job, you know.

Some developers prefer using half-baked regexes from stackoverflow, rather than reputable libraries for email address validation.

I wonder if it applies to routers made by a company who likes collecting user data. Because this is a situation many people are in.

2 factor came into our life because people were using same passwords everywhere. With unique passwords, which are easy with password managers, it's rarely needed.

Wait until your workplace requires you to only use MS Authenticator push notifications 😭 and HOTP occasionally…

It's a separate app with no sync to Bitwarden accounts.

Just like in the password manager, they ignored HOTP. Oh well.

I was under impression that the big issue would be adoption. Like my bank supports only Google Pay and Samsung Pay, but definitely not a “FOSS Pay”.

I wish I knew a living soul using the bottom one. Not on a Deck.

I'm a contractor. They give me work and money, I give them result. I use what works best, and it's a linux distro.

After years of actively making it work in Thunderbird, I ended up using a browser tab. It's more reliable, gives you access to settings such as filters, and it's easy to close after work with all the other tabs in my “work” browser.
