I used to always have a ChatGPT tab pinned, so I wouldn’t mind. That said, the integration is just plain terrible. To be more precise, the whole experience with the sidebar is terrible. Why can I only have one and not even choose the default one? I need two clicks to get to the assistant, which is one more than just pinning a tab…

In Brave, the integration is so much better. They have a dedicated button (that you can also disable iirc), that opens a sidebar with only the chatbot. Moreover, you can choose from a bunch of models or link your own. You are not constantly at risk of accidentally sending something to it when selecting text, because neither is “AI” the top option in context menus, nor is one opening automatically. AI doesn’t appear in search. And it can even do more (e.g. “summarize this entire page”), while there is also no need to log in.

In short: This seems not thought through at all. And if it was, maybe the reactions would be less negative.

Yep, no one takes the most appreciated language under programmers seriously. The surveys are all constructed to make Rust look better.

Tons of people making Python comparisons regarding indentation here. I disagree. If you make an indentation error in Python, you will usually notice it right away. On the one hand because the logic is off or you’re referencing stuff that’s not in scope, on the other because if you are a sane person, you use a formatter and a linter when writing code.

The places you can make these error are also very limited. At most at the very beginning and very end of a block. I can remember a single indentation error I only caught during debugging and that’s it. 99% of the time your linter will catch them.

YAML is much worse in that regard, because you are not programming, you are structuring data. There is a high chance nothing will immediately go wrong. Items have default values, high-level languages might hide mistakes, badly trained programmers might be quick to cast stuff and don’t question it, and most of the time tools can’t help you either, because they cannot know you meant to create a different structure.

That said, while I much prefer TOML for being significantly simpler, I can’t say YAML doesn’t get the job done. It’s also very readable as long as you don’t go crazy with nesting. What’s annoying about it is the amount of very subtle mistakes it allows you to make. I get super anxious when writing YAML.

Yes, what I meant is actually a kind of pepper. Although I would like to point out that literally the only difference is that it’s stored elsewhere.

It does, I’ll give you that. However, I will hold the fact that their maximum is actually reasonable against that. The minimum of 8 is more concerning imo

I’m just gonna go ahead and say it: 16 Characters are sufficient and 20 pretty damn secure.

That is assuming they do stuff right and there are no vulnerabilities, which they won’t and there are. However they may manifest, they are a greater concern at 16+ characters, especially if they don’t offer 2FA.

The reason is that even if machines become powerful enough that 16 characters can be bruteforced, which they can’t atm, you can effectively defend everything against bruteforce attacks by other means. Including but not limited to limiting login attempts, salts and pepper, multiple encryption layers etc.

With just a salt pepper you can make a 16 char password effectively a 24 char password… Or a 2.000.000 char password. Assuming it is not stolen alongside that is.

Edit: Changed ‘salt’ to ‘pepper’.

It can toggle ANC on and off, not sure if it can also enable voice through. That is available by a single tap on your earbud(s) tho

You can use Sennheisers without an account - and I think even without the app altogether. Not exactly sure tho.

They have a feature where they toggle sound presets depending on your location. That’s the only thing that requires an account, as well as access to your location. It’s opt-in however (and pretty useless imo).

Ok, fair enough, but at that point you’re basically deploying your own password manager which most people would consider a little over the top :D

The simple answer to SSO is: Just don’t.

It has it’s place in companies, but there is no good reason for private use, except maybe a little convenience.

On the other hand, you open yourself up of to your data being collected left and right and increase the chance it gets compromised by it being shared.

Never change a running System.

Basically every other German outlet

Want to butt in here quickly and bring attention towards the fact that crypto currencies in general are not meant to be privacy preserving.

You are literally broadcasting transactions, making it impossible to leave no trace.

I don’t bother with 2FA for Ente. It’s supposed to add a layer of security, no need to add yet another layer just for the sake of it.

They do have desktop apps at least. I’m happy with it so far, totally second the recommendation.

Regarding your general question: I would argue that a separate 2FA app is a must, since you can not only secure your password manager with it, but also remain protected if it is breached somehow.

Having 2FA and credentials in one place partly breaks the rational between having 2FA at all.

Have you ever heard of datacenters, portable devices or climate change?

At it’s heart, numpy is C tho. That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Python is amazing glue code. It makes this fast code more useful by wrapping it in simple® scripts and classes.

I’m mainly talking efficiency in terms of energy use. I won’t deny that some ugly decisions have been made with Java :D

Java is still significantly faster and more efficient than Python tho - because it has ahead-of-time optimizations and is not executing plain text.

Privacy ultras: WHY YOU WANT DATA?!
