  • I think y’all are talking about different things. Some sites (like google) have direct yubikey support where you plug the key into the device and what you’re talking about isn’t an issue

    Other sites don’t have direct support, but allow you to use any authenticator app which is what you’re talking about with using the yubico authenticator app/key combination. Plugging it into a yubico authenticator app on any device will show the codes

    Unfortunately I don’t have an answer for a way to protect those other accounts. I guess the hope is that if you lose it, it can’t be tied to your accounts, just the websites themselves


  • I probably wouldn’t trust any free reminder site with all my most important passwords

    Do you have a friend or parent who can schedule an email from their account? If you don’t trust them with your passwords you could also just encrypt the whole thing first. I did something similar to this with screen limit settings while my girlfriend had the password, and it made me never want to access them badly enough to ask her.

    One other thing that’s worked well for me - a kitchen safe timer. I lock up my phone in one at work and get so much more done. You could also theoretically lock your passwords in there too (from minutes to 10 days)

    Anyway, congrats on procrastinating by exploring ways on not procrastinating


  • From reading other stuff it seems much more likely that its a nuclear powered satellite jammer, not a nuclear satellite weapon. Nuclear powered would allow it to more effectively jam for longer distances/periods of time. We all have nuclear powered satellites in orbit which breaks no nuclear treaties so it sounds like they’re being intentionally vague for some russia fearmongering.

    Not to say it’s not bad tho - it could take out commercial satellites like starlink very effectively and we know how critical that’s been for Ukraine/would be for Taiwan





  • On my second paid month. Still trying to decide if its worth it. Biggest plus is that its not jammed with sponsored ads and seo’d websites full of garbage matching the search keywords. Downside is that $5 a month just feels like a lot for something that you can almost get for free (outside of the sponsored stuff the results are pretty similar unless you turn up the small web setting)

    I’m able to stay under 300 a month by using ff shortcuts to route simple repetitive searches (weather, sports scores, etc.) to ddg while sending the rest to kagi



  • Superpower is a stretch. It’s more that if you can understand your ADHD you can maybe find jobs/pursuits that match up better with it.

    My gf has ADHD and has found that the only way for her to stay engaged is to be in a situation of high impact/high complexity/high urgency. ADHD isnt always inability to concentrate, its switching back between that and hyper-concentration, often involuntarily, so finding an environment that fits that has helped her.

    She works at the same company as me in medical software (im a dev were pretty opposite) and basically puts out customer fires. Its highly urgent and impactful (medical issues need to be fixed ASAP) to keep her engaged and complex enough that it doesn’t get boring or monotonous. She’s really fucking good at it and makes good money, but it does come at a cost. Its pretty stressful but she acknowledges this is the type of thing she can best excel at. And in other areas that arent like this - like in her personal life - she’s always slipping and needs other people to help her out (I’m pretty organized and can assist there).

    I’d recommend the book ADHD 2.0. The authors, who also have ADHD, kind of echo what we’ve seen. One of them calls it a curse as the only careers that keep him engaged are stressful and relentless. But its what he does.

    They had a pretty good analogy - ADHD is like a car with a super powerful engine but no breaks. You can do some things better than other people but its incredibly easy to get way off track faster than you can blink, so its important to understand how yours works and have the right guardrails in place in your professional and personal lives. And of course meds help a lot too.


  • Respectfully disagree. Unchecked this gives whoever has the loudest microphone power to claim whatever they want out of context and most people will never find out the truth until it doesn’t matter anymore.

    “This person said something really bad - we can’t tell you what it was but believe us, it was really bad”

    The tweet posted is not a good message to spread. But my gauge is whether I’d be ok with the other side having the ability to determine what is and isn’t ok to spread, and I would very much not like Republicans (via legislative or social pressure) to have the ability to dictate what messages are too dangerous to share
