I hate 2fa so very much and long for the world of the past where just having a fucking account and a password was enough, now you need to check your fucking email and wait for a fucking text to turn on your fucking toaster

I don't care what security nerds say I don't need every single fucking god damn thing to have the same security as a bank account

And the password’s already been compromised and distributed so far and wide your neighbor’s dog knows it by memory.

If my 16bit alphanumeric password in ancient Mayan and morse code is operationally useless, can we just sign in via emoji?

I used to hate it too. Now I understand the importance of security and believe 2FA should be required everywhere.

Used to agree to this, until it turned out that SMS basically doesn't work in rural areas.. Theoretically you can get a voice call with the code, but I've personally ran into instances where the 2FA voice call simply doesn't work on landlines. If we're going to do 2FA, it has to be something so universal anyone can do it. So far, I don't think we've achieved that. I think people have a right to access banking services, etc, and if 2FA doesn't work for them, we're deciding to ban them from using those services. Doesn't sit right with me.

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
