17:40:13 [weezzee] IM HAXOR 😎️ 17:44:36 [weezzee] NOW ITS TIME TO WATCH THE MASK ON REPEAT AND MEMORIZE ALL THE LINES SO I CAN BECOME MORE LIKE THE MASK IN MY DAY TO DAY LIFE

Can I play this using a tile set on Linux without Steam?

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose.

The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who takes things that are yours and mine.

The poor and wretched don’t escape
If they conspire the law to break;
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law.

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back.

Thank you, will look into them.

Intelligent is a euphemism for invasive.

Consumers People who earn a living must have real choice in authentication options. It's unacceptable to freeze out open standards because an internal marketing projection suggests the bank will make a few dollars doing so. If I only want to employ login+passphrase+TOTP, that's my prerogative.

Corporations value staying with the herd, so apps are a done-deal regardless of need or suitability to the service offering. And private commerce tends to view apps primarily as advertising real estate. Hence why I want a bank with the sense to respect customer hardware.

Hi Shelley! How are you? I really hope you're doing well. Shelley, we didn't go to school together and you're not my kris kringle, I'm at work and I need x. Ping me if you need anything. Also donuts in the kitchen.

Well done my lemm!

You got it actually. I want the 2FA seed exportable so I can use my own app for 2FA login. Transaction authorisation I'm agnostic on (TOTP or SMS code).

Forcing reliance on an in-house app is user-hostile.

but the argument I have nothing to hide except bank account passwords etc is hard to argue with

It's simple to argue against: any and all data points are either potential threat vectors, or will in aggregate paint a better picture of the individual they pertain to, for the data's possessor to use as they wish. A default-deny policy for data creation/access makes as much sense for individuals as it does workplaces.

'No one's spying on me, I'm not interesting' is more pernicious than Nothing to Hide. Most adults can kind of sense the idiocy of the latter refrain. But ask the utterer why advertising is a trillion-dollar industry if their attitudes and behaviours aren't interesting, or why a data broking industry even exists, and you'll typically be asked 'why care?'

What's harder to work out is whether the utterance is a genuine failure to comprehend the nature of surveillance capitalism, or a grasping denial of its impact, as though they're only 80 per cent convinced of their footprint's worthlessness. It's difficult to convince someone to turn down their data faucet when they barely acknowledge the faucet's existence to start with.

Thanks (I guess) for letting me know what to avoid. Disappointing.

The prospective agency is still at risk of governments adjusting funding expediently.

Call me a cynic but I suspect the biggest 'contributor' to r/product will end up being product's marketing department account, likewise with r/country and party-political apparatchiks. The move is elegant in a way: Reddit Inc can ruin true democratic operation of subs by turning subscribers into shareholders (which wards off repeats of mod activism) and simultaneously provide further cover to astroturfers (lots of points = Time and Effort™ = good faith actor).

One of the great traditions of FOSS is its refusal to adopt that corporate visual design ethos which turns every logo into an abstract solid-colour silhouette optimised for mobile rendering. I like GIMP's plucky rodent, for example. A counter-example would be the sad [d]evolution of the Firefox.

Good:

• The supporting cast
• Watching the Entity do its thing
• Rome, Austria, desert segments
• The lead bounty hunters' introspection about taking sides
• The subtext about trust of technology and its role in parsing everyday reality

Bad:

• The entire Venice segment. Cringe.
• Further to above, clunky plotting. It's the real villain of this film. Things feel strained in a way that Fallout never did.
• Gabriel. Who cares?

I don't want more app and data complexity. I want my bank to automatically generate and forward a transaction history for <timeinterval> for my local use. I shouldn't have to log in to obtain such things.

Raise hell with your telecomms regulator. Choice of DNS (not to mention how web content is rendered) is solely your business, but it will only remain that way if you get vocal.
