& the host quite likely committed a felony under German law.

Somewhere in Kazakhstan would be my guess.

TIL, thanks

Is that when they decided to make counting past 70 complicated?

One of the few genders German and French agree on is that a machine is female.

So, if a man is considered to be a machine he is female in that field.

Sorry, I don’t understand what I am seeing here. Is that someone xeeting a screenshot of someone reporting to Duolingo that penis should be feminine, not masculine in Spanish?

I assume the families that need to hear this won’t listen.

At least 30 years.

The problem is that public toilets need to be indestructible. The one near my home is constantly out of order because some asshole vandalized it. Restaurants, shops and delis only let customers use their restroom - probably for the same reason.

Tall buildings can block or funnel wind which can lead to smoggy and stormy areas. I assume at least Manhattan will have enough wind due to location and layout. However other cities that have a more medieval layout may have problematic areas. Most cities will do some kind of climate planning, I.e. where do wind and water go, are there any hot areas, etc. Here’s the starting page Frankfurts urban climate plan for air ducts for example. If you google „urban climate planning“ you’ll find tons of examples including NYC.

Yep, that bluesky post gets an F on text interpretation.

Why not offer a participation trophy called the ‚Noble Piece Prize‘? At his reading level he’ll not notice any difference and no one is going to tell him.

Exactly. Any organization whose MFA doesn’t work on Aegis, I take action to protect myself from their incompetence.

That’ll surely end their business. /s

I’m sure they claim that. But I still recognize it as simple incompetence. They aren’t able or willing to hire someone with the Cybersecurity expertise to implement a relatively simple open specification.

Just out of curiosity: What percentage of the population is capable of running Graphene/Aegis? What percentage, regardless of capability, is willing to do so?

Creators of popular OSS regularly warn about downloading their stuff elsewhere or pay for it. How do you think that would apply to any 2FA application?

Now think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. (love some George Carlin). Given that even (very) stupid people have and need bank accounts: How would you implement an authentication that can’t easily be compromised to ripp off stupid people?*

* Let’s just assume that you, the lead developer, are not at all “incompetent”, quite the opposite. Also take into consideration that you need to keep cost down (hint: That means you want no one to call support because of 3rd party applications!).

Well, they have a kind of 2FA since at least 30 years, long before rolling tokens were all over the place. Their latest implementations are as simple to use as Steam 2FA. If a bank isn’t able to implement a proper 2FA login there’s a ton of other security issues to worry about. Lastly, I think by using their own implementation/app they prevent their customers from using compromised apps.

I don’t know about the US but on this side of the pond banks have their own 2nd factor apps. So to log in to a bank’s website you need an app - quite probably with play integrity.

Re-read your original comment, m8. If you really didn’t want to condemn all hacking, then you did a good job stating the exact opposite.

It’s blasphemy, that’s what it is. (against the joke/Money Python - Musk can eat shit sandwiches for the rest of his life)

It boils down to property tax as a means of preventing land accumulation and tax revenue generation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

I don’t see how that would have worked even when it was invented.

Right now you can see how the rich own all the land and have no need to use or sell it. This way they create a shortage and can charge a higher price for the land they use or sell. IMO the only way to break this up to stop charging property tax at all - because all land ownership goes back to the state. If someone wants to use land they rent it from the state. If they do not use or misuse rented land the land goes to a different renter (or to the state).

You misunderstand me. I got your point and have nothing against you. I just recommend to advertise sarcasm/satire more obviously.

This kind of sarcasm is unnoticeable online since ca. 2018. MAGA clowns post more extreme stuff and mean it several times a day. The “/s” is sadly necessary.
