My “smart” bulbs are at the less online end of the spectrum, they host local wifi or bluetooth for configuration via their app, but even that can bite you
I added a wifi range extender to address the problem of stuff at one end of the house regularly losing connection and needed to point one of a particular brand at the new wifi
Its app hadn’t been updated and I needed to dig out my old phone stuck on an old version of Android to set the bulb up again
You lost a bit of credibility when you misspelt atoms
I use it mostly for family chats, I got the extended family to use it rather than Facebook Messenger
What makes you not trust signal as against WhatsApp?
I think you’re fairly safe here. People using AI tools professionally generally like them, only overuse and careless use are seen as bad here
Out on general Lemmy though you’ll get down votes for comments in favour of AI
Imagine getting that design past review
The insecurity of SMS is the inability of telcos to secure number porting. If someone wants to compromise your shit, they can easily steal your phone number, if your phone number is sufficiently public
One defence is to have a second service that is only used for authentication, and never share the number except to those providers that need to message you codes
Luckily I don’t need to read or write bytecode and all that matters to me is the syntax
You do get the if in the middle of stuff though in the form print(debug message) if $debug
What are the arguments
“Protect delicate children’s eyes from seeing nudity”
I think that’s about it
It even gets worse - I keep screen sessions open with one screen running root

I use sudo su because running su with no options also gets you an interactive session without having to type anything but letters and a space
Both of these are for when you want a session as root which is nearly never necessary, but sometimes it’s more convenient that a set of commands preceded by sudo
I use sudo su 'cause I can type it quicker than sudo -i
I think before that even
Remember the phrase “it’s not in-pattern”. Another one is “it’s possible, but expensive”
My bg3 character is female. She was in slacks until act 3 where she could finally have a dress
We looted everything. I feel like there are two dresses in the game: the robe Gale wears and a white dress you find in a Balders Gate house near the end of the game
Not just that. The tax preparation industry has gotten tax more complex and harder to file in the US
You get the government you can afford. The tax preparation industry has been able to buy several governments
I wonder if Nintendo will ever embrace repairability like some phone companies have
I guess there’s more competition in phones than in devices that can run Mario Cart
Yeah, it is harder to do. Specifically
By being harder it will be more costly to repair
I use keepass, it’s a little more work than many closed source ones, but it’s only as online as you want it to be, and runs on anything
