If you can afford it, I personally highly recommend just buying two USB-C hardware Yubikeys and storing it on there. Built in back up and if you put it on your keyring, it’s always nearby. You can still use your phone to access the code as well.
Not exactly super helpful for solving this problem but since you’re already going to have to reset or get new accounts, it’s a good time to switch over if you’re interested.
Hmmm…I smell a massacre. Seems to be the only way to back these bastards up.
The people who want a world where iPhones are like Linux by default don’t use iPhones; they use Linux phones.
The vast majority of us just want to have the ability to use our devices to run what we want when we want to. The App Store is a good, fine thing. I like that it exists and I don’t want it to go away.
But I don’t think it’s fair that Apple gets to tell me I can’t run emulators on my phone. It’d be like Ford telling me I can’t drive my car on an interstate or something. The whole concept is weird.
Let me own my device, please. I paid for this hardware; why am I not allowed to choose the software that runs on it?
Android handles this in what I think is a great way. By default, you can’t install 3rd party apps. You have to dig into your settings to enable that and then your phone is unlocked. I do think that’s bad for alternative app stores (but that’s a whole ‘nother problem) but the vast majority of people who seek apps that aren’t available in the phone’s App Store do so because they’re more technically minded and so don’t mind a more technical solution. If you go take a random Android user off the street, 9 times out of 10, they won’t even know you can install apps from outside of the App Store and that’s a good thing.
Apple loves to tout “security” and “efficiency” for why they don’t allow 3rd party apps and that’s so silly to me. If I want a less secure and less efficient phone so that I can use features Apple doesn’t like, that should be purely my decision to make. It doesn’t affect anyone else but me.
Make sure you’re on 1.19.0 of F-Droid, which needs to be installed manually for now.
Should’ve been a shuriken!
You’re not wrong but it feels disingenuous to say this. The entire repo with all of its dependencies checked out for a large website can easily clock at half a gig but there’s no popular website now that’s asking any users to download half a gig worth of stuff before they can use it.
There ARE websites where, if you keep them open long enough, they’ll constantly pull more and more data (usually for ads) but even that is measured more so in tens of megabytes.
And none of this is to say that websites haven’t gotten too big, just that comparing a downloaded app’s size to the size of a website’s unbuilt unbundled source with all of its dependencies is an unfair comparison.
It's terrifying that the only way to win these days is to just never have been born. Even if you don't play, someone you interact with online is and you get taken in that way.
All to sell you ads for things you don't need or care about.
I've never dealt with this using a hypersonic speaker but I'm very familiar with attempting to record lyrics while hearing my own voice on a delay and it's impossible. Thinking about just trying to read text while hearing myself on a delay sounds similarly difficult.
My guess is that some of us, musicians especially, are more reliant on internal timing in all things.
I enjoyed the first season. Can't wait for this one to come out!
That’s a bunnybee!
