Yes! There is this Buddhist saying, supposedly some 2,500 years back, “Even if a whole mountain were made of gold, not double that would be enough to satisfy one person.”

You can trace unsatisfied greed in American gazillionaires all the way back to Rockefeller. Before that, you can trace it to Kings, Queens, Emperors, Conquerors. Only external circumstances, societal structures/cultures/etc, keep the greed in check. As soon as we were out of subsistence living, we started collecting, often times just for the sake of collections, sometimes other people’s great misery be damned.

You figure out where you want to go. Plan how to get there, and then do things in the present to get there. Don’t get stressed out how things turn out; you can only really have some notion of control of what you are doing. If the current plan doesn’t work, change it, and keep doing it, until you get there, or not.

2FAS, Bitwarden, Firefox are my most used FOSS on Android for me.

Cute dogs allowed!

Oh, the horror! I think I did the best I possibly could, given the circumstances.

Lemmy!

There seem to be published scientific paper that some scientists disagreed. There are alcohol-free mouthwashes too.

Listerine seems to help remove plaque effectively. Since start using it in the middle of the night when I wake up, not getting regularly cleaned doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore. This is coupled with flossing and thorough brushing of course.

You definitely don’t want this stuff to escape into the atmosphere.

When I forgot part of my my old password, I came up with a list of words that I possibly could have come up with and tried those. I eventually found it even if I was panicky the whole time. If I were you, I would list the words and try them in the order of probabilities.

Un/Fortunately, BW is implemented to rate-limit password brute-forcing. I feel you about your CAPTCHA hell, and I hate their surreal sunflower CAPTCHA (maybe to make it as repulsive as possible to the hackers?).

Didn’t his admin approve the Operation Warp Speed thingy?

Speaking about Windows PC.

1. Not everybody thinks they need such security because it’s their home computer.
2. Enabling device encryption necessitates the backup of the encryption key (and backup of the data files); otherwise, you may lose all the contents when things go wrong (like the key disappears after an update). People who don’t understand the tech may not know where their backup keys are.
3. Windows Home encryption is a hassle since you don’t have finer-grain control over the encryption, unlike Bitlocker on Windows Pro. This is the lamest scheme for Windows. You only get practical basic security with Windows Pro.
4. Enabling system drive encryption may make your system backup/recovery harder or impossible in some configurations. Figuring this out may require some technical expertise.

Spokespeople for NCTA and pharmaceutical company Gilead said that they immediately paused their ad spending on X after CNN flagged their ads on the pro-Nazi account.

Alt-speak: we only care if the media report that our ad placements were next to questionable contents.

At least you did post an excellent meme because of the painful, terrible event.

• Canned fish. Nutritious (protein). Lots of energy (fat).

• Bread. Don’t need to cook. Probably kept until it’s all eaten.

• 7-11 sells ready-to-eat food packs. They maybe willing to heat it for the persons if it’s a 7-11 rebranded packet.

• Ramen noodle types. Assuming that they can get boiled water.

Yeah, some source say that the raised examples have been fixed by the different LLMs since exposure. The problem is algorithmic, so if you can follow the research, you may be able to come up with other strings that cause a problem.

I still interact with one irreplaceable community. If there isn’t enough subscribed content on Lemmy, I do go back and look at my feed. Most of my interactions are here, though.
