When relentless coverage of terrible people, and their insane words/actions, results in said people winning fair elections, I think the intelligence of the electorate might be the biggest problem.

But yes, that's beside the point, as is their growing mental illnesses and instability. The wealth/power they've been allowed to accumulate will always make them a danger/threat that should be taken seriously.

Yup. pats the old camera softly It should've been retired 5-10 years ago. Instead, it will work until death, like most things in "the richest country on Earth'". Sad.

Stay Wendy's(R) Frosty(R).

Everything can be fine 97% of the time, but it only takes a second to get fucked up by a cat's razor-sharp claws or fangs. Then it takes weeks to heal. Fewer declawed cats now, too.

Bitwarden has 2FA (for paid tier, like $10/year). I don't consider it "real" 2FA, but it's more secure than just a password, and super quick to copy code using browser addon. Useful for certain sites, that don't stay logged in, require every time, etc.

We're doing opposites here, ha. (And I've basically just happened to buy exactly what TheMadnessKing above is looking for, weird.)

Bought a 980 Pro for main PC OS (due to reviews of reliability and long warranty, did not see info about firmware problems). Along with T7 Shield 2TB for movie backups. And stopped buying WD after many years (due to my recent Passport failure and public SanDisk failures). Wish us both luck, may we backup all the things thrice.

I've bought exclusively WD storage for many years. Mostly because I've never had a failure, and hadn't read anything terrible about reliability. Well, all that changed this year.

My newest portable drive (Passport Ultra USB-C 2TB) has only 30 hours (40 power cycles) on it, and is clicking/chirping and abnormally slow while writing anything. Probably dying, at least it warned me. It will need to be replaced, at my cost (just out if warranty of course). Combined with SanDisk failures, and complete silence from WD... I'm done with them.

I'm moving to Samsung. I've already bought a replacement (T7 Shield SSD 2TB), and also an M2 NVME (980 Pro with Heatsink) for PC OS refresh later. Hoping to move almost all the things to Samsung SSDs in coming years, outside of 1-2 large Seagate HDDs for NAS.

Bye WD. I do not tolerate reliability issues when it comes to data storage. Or silence from companies when there are massive public failures. Or buying out and destroying the competition.

I'm not too worried, until a Republican is president (and controlling military). Until then, I think "The Deep State" is well prepared now for insurrection and coups, and T**** guilty verdicts. Hope the GOP keeps cowering to the cult for a decade or so, they will continue to lose key elections. Those hardcore red states are going to be a tragedy, though.

Nice! I've never caught one exiting. What a showoff with this backward dive. Somehow I've actually seen them more times screaming from a bird's mouth...

I wonder what DeJoy is really doing behind the scenes. Slow walking everything? Inserting his companies into transactions? Are there literally any electric USPS trucks delivered or in service yet from the (very strangely) "chosen" manufacturer? How is the quality? He has not earned the trust back yet.

Yup, Pulsar feels exactly like Atom, which I've enjoyed for years. Portable mode still works, bonus. My main complaint is the massive file size of install (over 1GB, no lighter option), which seems excessive and unnecessary for my use.

Same boat. I remember being a big fan of Digg (and Kevin Rose), and looking down upon "new" copycat... Reddit. Then they completely changed (removed voting?) almost overnight, and so I gave Reddit a chance. Loved it (and later Sync) and used almost daily! Until... well, fuck Steve Huffman, we all know what happened. Hello Lemmy.

I have not deleted account or comments yet, but logged out everywhere, try to never visit, and will never use the (ad-infested) app. Lemmy community (and Liftoff) has been great, just needs to keep growing with good people.
