Good idea, link the community and post here, too, thanks.

I think you may have to start a new community for this, I’m genuinely not sure where a story like this might go. Excellent, though. Very interested to find out more.

The “Casual conservation” community is probably too casual for this. Maybe creating something like /c/WildPersonalStories ?

Gonna be real difficult to recover from if you lose the device with your passkeys on it or that device is broken.

Couple that with eSIMs and you are looking at a lot of headaches for the non-tech savvy.

Supposedly you can use a security key but they are pushing biometrics, yikes!

Wait until passkeys and all their issues have been solved by the major players.

Don’t lock yourself out of your digital life chasing something flashy and new.

So you agree that both sides are doing terrible things and there are no good guys in this situation? Just innocents caught in the middle.

Cabin Boy

I’ll admit, the reason I ended up reading the whole article were the words “Ben Schwartz.”

Scott Aukerman is an absolute wreck over this news.

That was closer to a remaster of the original though, wasnt it?

Source: played the shit out of both. Seemed just like mostly ported to PC from PS2 to me. Reroll feels very accurate to the OG.

I’ve been working on my patented AI dowsing rod…

I mean they are giving them away freely and not forcing the book on people. They accept “no” as an answer if you don’t want a copy. You are really free to ignore them.

It is indeed worse, I agree.

I do think it is odd she was embraced by Christians.

I’m a fucking atheist and I think Ayn Rand was a loser sack of shit who leaned on every government assistance she preached against existing.

So yeah, Rand was riding on it. I would like to think most fellow atheists reject her power-worship bullshit wrapped in “Objectivism.”

Nearly every religion preaches to be giving and kind to those in need. It’s absolutely not a non-sequitor to admit that a large number of atheists don’t believe there is any guiding morality to the universe and that we have to come to our own conclusions about morals and ethics. Moral relativism is a generally accepted thing among many atheists. This does not mean all atheists are selfish, I would classify most as Humanists. Rand was mostly an outlier.

She was able to promote the idea that selfishness could be good because she didn’t ascribe to any religion that defined that as a sin.

Look, the people who hand out Bibles are usually from a specific sect of Christianity.

I get it, they’re just as shitty as most Christians, in most ways, but…

The reason they give the Bibles away is because they figure that knowledge is power and they don’t want to force people to have to spend money they don’t have to be able to read the Bible.

I hate to say it, but I agree with their attitudes regarding freedom and access to information. They may not be distributing information I care for, but I can’t fault the attitude. Information and access to it shouldn’t be limited, because knowledge is power.

Right attitude, wrong values otherwise.

You beat me to it. Couchsurfing had a website long before airbnb it just wasnt as popular because it wasnt about making money.

Then people forgot it existed.

Not as relevant as it used to be regarding this question, but…

War and Peace

I prefer the album “A Brief History of Rhyme” by MC Hawking.

She was also an unabashed atheist, which is why she was able to promote the idea of selfishness being good.

What’s funny is it’s the mostly Christian right-wing which has embraced her.

I guess they’re okay with atheism as long as its playing for the right “team.”
