You know that, I know that, XKCD knows that and that’s a great way to do it BUT- it’s not just four random words. It’s four random words per service/website I use, which starts to complicate things again.

Sure I can use a password manager on mobile, but Granny who wants to talk to Little Johnny on the messenger he recommended doesn’t have one, nor will she typically remember the four (slightly modified) words in 6 weeks time, meaning she will probably write it down on paper to remember, inherently more insecure than allowing her a shorter password, possibly with a special character she might be able to remember, in my opinion.

I understand the security requirements and why they make sense, but we’re in the field of messengers here, which are incredibly hard to get people to switch to at the best of times. If people are immediately hit with a hurdle at registration, it will probably scare quite a lot of them away if they’re already out of my comfort zone and I find that a shame for such a neat looking project.

I believe this is about Amazon discontinuing support for pre-2013 Kindles and jailbreaking them to extend their life and escape the Amazon walled garden. KUAL is an app launcher and KOReader is an alternate ebook reader.

That’s a shame. It was my reason for uninstalling. I don’t have a password manager on mobile so there is no chance of me remembering such a long password, so it would lead me to either writing it down on paper, or worse, sending it to myself via a messenger so I don’t need to type it in all the time, which I feel in all cases is less secure than having a shorter but more complicated password (maybe about 8 characters).

I’m assuming other users may share my opinion, especially for a genre of app like a messenger, for which it is generally hard to convince people to install as they don’t want to leave their closed WhatsApp playpen.

Maybe a solution which caters for both worlds could be considered: recommend 16 but accept and warn if someone types in a shorter one (with a minimum of 8)?

16 character minimum password?

Came here to say Julia Stiles but you totally beat me to it! I cannot stand any film she is in either. It’s really hard to describe, but your description is spot-on. It’s like an empty husk with makeup has been made to act.

PSA: My Starbook MK V has great specs but feels cheap and loses charge when closed, so it’s always empty when I need it.

(Tried all firmware updates and different distros, without success and their support isn’t if any help either. Won’t be ordering from them again.)

Really brave of you to share this with us. I bet posting it was no small feet.

His joking?

Can’t ignore 2000! That was one of the best!

Am I the only one who finds the title abrasive? Why “rules”? Who are you and why should I listen to you? Will you send the tutorial police around if I ignore you? Maybe “recommendations” would be a better choice?

Agreed. He’s reading his notes while filming and it sounds like he isn’t himself convinced of what he’s explaining. Really odd.

It would be interesting to hear what you think of the youtuber Sega Lord X. His content is great but his seemingly deliberate intonation ground my gears so much to the point I unsubscribed.

As a DOS fan I like this a lot but, if you would allow me one nit-pick, your CSS references PerfectDos as the font, but that isn’t the font in the screenshot. Is this on purpose?

Anyone using Ubuntu is one person less using windows. I call that a win. Everyone has to start somewhere!
