IDGAF, I scarcely use gimp any more due to the interface still being shit even after they allegedly improved it.

I'm a VZ prepaid customer in the US and I get unlimited text.

You do realize that defunding an already underfunded program is objectively worse than not increasing the funding, don't you?

You might be tempted to mail these company execs something to express your displeasure. Just remember this important phrase if police might question you:

"OOps, my bad, I must have mixed their address up with Cologuard when I was addressing my packages..."

Good to know if your phone is lost/stolen/damaged you are shit out of luck.

Depending on jurisdiction, establishments are sometimes being forced to accept cash, to not exclude the under banked.
:
I still use cash from time to time, and I am not under banked. In fact, I used cash on Saturday to buy gas for my mower, and I always use cash to buy gas for my car. Never have to worry about my card being compromised. Or anyone knowing what I'm buying when I use cash.

I'll trust the herd.

Ordinarily in not interested in following the herd to the cliffs, but having multiple password/authentication tools is not as critical for me as it used to be.

Then again, I'll be puking up the VPN/reverse proxy crap so I can host more of this at home behind CGNAT. No ftth or fttn for the foreseeable future, the original vendor STB and can't afford to do it and will never relinquish the easements for a reasonable fee. My local government knows they made the mistake, the next 2 vendors had to commit to lighting it up be a certain date.

But this continuing corporate shell game of 'free' tools being thrown on the dust heap isn't just an annoyance anymore. I'll learning to host more and more, even when it means learning things I did not want to know.

situations where lupus is mistaken for rheumatoid arthritis,

It's never lupus.* Until it is.

* I wanted to post a video of House saying it's not lupus, but for some reason YT is now requiring me to sign to confirm I'm not a bot. Sorry for not posting the reference.

It's not less capable than any old M chip.

Got any actual points?

Hurr durr both sides durr hurr

Don't go back and forth with them. Just go to your credit card company. They need to learn.

Luckily little requires it so far. Unfortunately GNOME is going all in which means GTK is going to become a problem. So now if you want to avoid the fuckery you have to find Qt based replacements for that stuff. Sigh.

"the problem (with Android) is that browser based password managers barely work for anything outside of the browser due to how poorly Android is designed to allow this to function."

This is one of the few parts of Firefox on Android that has been reliable for me...

I always tell people when setting up their 2FA not to use Authenticator. First, it does not reliably work. Second, it's from Microsoft which means they can stop it working or make changes to it at will.

Instead, I tell people to select the Text or Phone option. Text is preferred as it will always go through unless they're in a cave.
