Totalitarians are more alike than different from eachother.

She decided on them herself, I know them and they are veeery easy for her to remember. A passphrase would be much more confusing for my old mum that was upset when she got her new phone that the keyboard was not alphabetical and only accepted after resistance that neither was it on her old phone.

Follow up: any advice for preferably FOSS remote desktop Linux to Windows 11 and Android to Android phone?

I think her menopause was twenty years ago.

We talk on the phone at least once a week. Unfortunately I think she is getting old.

She needs to keep track of two-three passwords. Yet every time it is “how should I know the password?” I don’t think it would make any difference if it was only one and a password manager adds one more layer of confusion when I’m doing remote tech support over the phone.

Oooooohhhhh!

Lightbulb moment. . Thank you.

You… project societal values on weather?

Well, you got me there. I’m going to take my dog for a walk in the chivalry sun with a light arrogant breeze and enjoy the day without injecting myself in other peoples casual business.

Obsessing what finger other people use on their phone is not healthy regardless length of post. How do you even notice? Why is it inside OPs mind?

And for being an overwhelmingly leftist community, it is quite hypocritical to be judging people for trivial superficialities that affects absolutely nothing or nobody.

A finger. On a phone.

What are you on about now?

My point is that you are judging people by something as superficial and pointless as what finger they are using on their phones as if people do mundane things to get inside you head. How do you even notice a thing like that? How do you come to the conclusion that it is trashy?

How do you tie your shoelaces? Which foot do you start walking with? Do you stir your coffee and in what direction? Are those trashy behaviours?

Dude, take a holiday from your head. This is not healthy.

Edit: I have been informed that I misread the flipping off as the finger used to take the picture on the phone. Oh boy, do I feel silly now. I leave my comments up for everybody else to have a sensible chuckle on my expense.

The same people that are proud of their European to heritage fantasy and being the most annoying cosplaying fucks about it here in the real Europe.

Good thing it didn’t come in a box or you’d confuse it with shoes.

I’d imagine for a civilization advanced enough for not only interstellar travel but suggestively FTL if they are running some kind of logistics operations across star systems, they would not have issues neither of hoovering gas clouds or splitting molecules and recombining them into desired materials nor have a problem with any amount of energy required. Damn, their physics and chemistry is probably at a quantum level so they can make whatever elements they want and have the need of none.

Unless FTL travel and communications is stupid simple that we have missed some basic discoveries that would solve the Fermi paradox because we didn’t know what to listen or look for.

Why go through the hassle of plundering an inhabited planet in a remote system when there are near unlimited uninhabited planets to pick all over?

There is a Swedish manufacturer of products called Leather Master that I’ve been recommended.

Taking care of leather furniture since I got me a vintage buffalo leather couch. It’s got a big grease stain that I’m thinking to try remove.

When I got a job iPhone i tried really hard to understand and to like it. I didn’t. The app store was a mess and the one button navigation made all apps inconsistent in what it does and where different apps put their own back button. My boss was very smug and thought I’d become an Apple evangelist just like him so I had to neatly wrap up some criticism of why we shouldn’t copy their UX for our product.
