Please don’t use your password manager for TOTP tokens. It is called two factor authentication for a reason.

Type hints are cool. Runtime enforced type hints are cooler.

Texts are securely stored

Right, must be military grade encryption

Fiercely agree. I have Samsung “smart” TV that I use as a dumb screen for my Apple TV and PS5.

Samsung’s software manages to bug out even without using it. The TV remote would randomly disconnect, screen would respring, randomly adjust contrast etc. It’s like “the printer of TVs”.

Yeah but… Brilliant has… a trial period. Seven days is plenty to realise that there’s next to zero educational value in that platform no matter how hard it is shilled online.

They are pretty poor courses anyway, why would you want them?

I've never heard of that project, looks pretty cool! To be clear, I do not say that "one guy" cannot possibly make great software. Passion projects are a thing. What differentiates them from the Abode situation, in my opinion, is that passion projects rarely have strict deadlines and paying backers who expect software that is Adobe-level in terms of quality and polish in a roughly 1 year.

The last paragraph doesn’t have to be a problem though

It is not yet, but the trajectory implies it may become a problem down the road. We're, sadly, living this decade, where you can no longer ignore where a certain service is heading and how it monetises itself.

OpenSCAD does the job for me, though I’m not particularly experienced in CAD things. I’ve tried FreeCAD and Fusion 360 (on Mac) previously and they just look too confusing for my taste.

With OpenSCAD I can at least approach the modelling in the same way I approach things at my say job: by just writing some code 👩‍💻

Yeah, I’d stay away from lemmygrad, they are clearly on a wrong side of history.

I wish there were more moderate leftist communities out there, the ones that are focused on highlighting downfalls of capitalism without trying to convince everybody that USSR 2.0 is the only good alternative.

Sadly, what we seem to have over and over is https://xkcd.com/927/

It’s getting better though

Depends on what kind of data, if it’s mostly internal documents / dumps of whatever communication systems they use etc, it would not be too large (mostly because of retention policies on that software).

If it is actually the data straight from Reddit’s production databases, then 80GB does sound questionable. But then what kind of data are we talking about? Is it actually valuable?

Anyways, this is big (if true).
