ode,

Well done my lemm!

ode,

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

ode,

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.

ode,

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.

ode,

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.

ode,

Thank you, will look into them.

ode,

‘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.

ode,

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.

ode,

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

ode,

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).

ode,

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.

ode,

Man I really need to rediscover Debussy. It will be like reuniting with an old friend.

One of my very first introductions to classical music was his 12 etudes. Claude Debussy Etude no. 4 Pour les Sixtes

ode, (edited )

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.

ode,

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?
ode,

Arnaldo, a Spanish(?) producer is pretty similar. He hasn’t released anything in several years, alas.

ode,

The best thing good users can do is remain on the client for the long term, ensuring traders remain a small minority. The next best thing they can do is PM traders regularly with requests to share. Make their sessions a pain in the butt due to the private chat alert going off routinely. ‘Hey trader, please open up to non-buddies temporarily, even at a crippled speed. I’d like two items from you. You know Soulseek is a sharing platform, right?’ Some may realise the ridiculousness of their position and co-operate.

Don’t stoop to their level by blacklisting, either. They will take that as endorsement of their behaviour. (Set 20kb/s down if it makes you feel better.)

ode,

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

ode,

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.
