This is something I’ve struggled with. I read a lot of trending books in high school like Hunger Games and Twilight but ended up reading 50 Shades of Grey to the end and it honestly turned me off of reading for a while

I’m not the fastest reader so it really seemed like I just wasted a lot of time

Locally to a file?

Google Authenticator is good. The only downside can be keeping multiple phones so you have a backup. I don’t know if there’s something similar on iOS but on Android Aegis is an open source alternative that is compatible with Google Authenticator and lets you locally export your codes

I can’t say I blame them when it comes to going with what’s comfortable.

I used Windows and Linux while in school so it’s what I got used to. Whenever I use MacOS I feel incredibly lost

Can you tell us some fun facts or stories?

It likely depends instance to instance due to how Lemmy is federated. You may want to try browsing some small communities that you enjoy and seeing if they want an extra mod.

I imagine a lot of the time they don’t feel the need to actively looking for one just yet but if the community sees a surge in people that might change in a hurry

I really think it comes down to the individual. I personally think that Aldous Huxley’s book Brave New World was likely derived at least partially from the book We by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin but both Aldous Huxley and my 10th grade English teacher would disagree. I don’t think it’s wrong to take someone else’s work and add upon it in a way you view beneficial. I view it as a natural evolution if anything and if it gives someone something to enjoy or makes the creative processes a little easier I’m all for it.

Yeah I mean I’m not talking about ReactOS. It’s hard to measure the amount of malware per market share.

I imagine it’s weighted unevenly dependent on it’s user base and target demographic.

I agree but I feel like the obscurity aspect faded out with the I’m a Mac and I’m a PC ads

Yeah in the same remixing a song is considered original

Ah yes me the intellectual using Kali Linux to play Skyrim

Isn’t the whole Macs don’t get viruses thing a myth by this point?

There are a lot more sources for random untrustworthy Windows software than there are for MacOS but that’s on the user the same way keeping your OS up to date is.

Born to late to order Domino’s from Oblivion

My issue is screens cracking. I will drop a device from several feet onto concrete and nothing will happen but I’ll bump it off the couch onto carpet and half the screen is shattered

Do you feel like you ever got over the initial setup period? A lot of what you are describing is what I encounter after a fresh install but I don’t typically have any issues after a little bit of tweaking.

I once had a man very high on drugs try to sell me his shirt on the bus before calling me several slurs when I turned him down.

When I was drunk once I nearly got into a fight with a marine who was probably twice my size because he was trying to kick pigeons for fun
