This reminds me of my grandpa. He used to drive a semi truck and kids would always do the fist pump wanting him to blow his air horn. He also had a normal wimpy Volvo car horn on the steering wheel.

He would get kids excited like he noticed what they were doing and then honk the wimpy horn. He said they always laughed so much. Then he would toot the big horn.

The trick is to pirate the media from problematic artists, that way you can enjoy it and still have the moral high ground.

From a Star Trek perspective, when they have to eject the (warp) core they are also in for a pretty bad time.

This is just someone siting in the middle and modifying a page not to show the passkey login option anymore and then stealing a password/session token.

As far as I can tell, this has almost nothing to do with passkeys specifically and would only apply in a situation where a website has a username and password fallback in case a passkey isn't created or isnt working.

There's someone out there selling great aunt Beatrice's car. 2006, 77000 miles. Drove to church and the grocery store once a week.

Hang in there!

I don't have YouTube Pro or whatever its called now and when I listen to music on my Google home it plays an ad after ever song. Since I have switched to Pihole and blocked googles DNS servers the only ads I get are to buy premium YouTube which I assume are hardcoded into something somewhere.

We better be careful, with Googles track record they will be getting rid of YouTube soon and rolling it into whatever they are calling their Skype clone nowadays.

When that first happened I switched to KISS Launcher. Fully search based. really simple and really fast.

I like the point they make which is that every social media site with profile photos and DM's will eventually turn into a dating site in some capacity. LinkedIn though shudder. I can't imagine the corporate pickup lines in a place like that....

Solok woke up the day he went to DS9 and chose all the violence that logic would allow.

Lets just say that the theme song is so bad, that I was burning through every Star Trek show my first time watching. Next Gen-Boom, TOS-POW, Voyager-Ehh OK!, Deep Space Nine-WOAH. Then when I got to Enterprise I had such a visceral reaction to the theme song on the first episode that I never continued the show. Its a very stupid reason I know, but its my reason, and I am going to need a much more compelling reason ever to return.

We need a "Star Wars Despecialized Editon" of Enterprise where the only thing they change is the theme song.

Edit: Alright everyone you talked me into it, my local library has the Enterprise DVDs so I'll give them a go. And I'll even listen to the theme song. 🖖
