I use a password hasher

@fribbledom
On paper can also be a password manager. Physical access thieves are more likely to steal a high value item like a phone or a laptop than a paper notebook.

@dansup probably pay for it if they didn't steal all my information and use it against me.

“The Signal for Help (or the Violence at Home Signal for Help) is a single-handed gesture that can be used by an individual to alert others that they feel threatened and need help over a video call, or in-person.”

@eloquence I do not agree. Choice of words is always a good topic.

You just don't have to be an ass about it.

Shoutout to , #Arch might not be my chosen distro but your documentation has saved me many times over and I'm thankful again today.

@thenewoil Upgraded some hours ago, so cool that this distro feels more stable than stability itself Vanilla #gnome-#debian experience and all good.

The Framework Laptop: Upgradeable, repairable, and 100% yours

It’s time for long-lasting products that respect your right to repair and upgrade.
The single best way to reduce the environmental impact of electronics is to make them last longer. You can repair and upgrade the Framework Laptop to make it work great for as long as you need it to. On top of that, it uses a 50% post consumer recycled (PCR) aluminium housing, 30% PCR plastic, and fully recyclable materials for packaging.
Built-in hardware privacy switches give you complete control over access to the camera and microphones. Their embedded controller firmware is fully open source, and they claim not to preload any extra software.
It is expected to ship by the Summer of 2021 (Northern Hemisphere?).

Remember videos rarely got over 10 views on #LBRY and most videos didn't even have any at all. Those days are no more, this platform now has an actual userbase and most of my content gets over 600 views, with a few brushing 1000. Get in while it's still early #Odysee

My initial impressions of Microsoft Teams from an enterprise perspective:

It is a *really* good Discord/Slack clone.

I may have just ordered a standing desk.

Finally. I've been thinking about it for a couple of months already.

Someone said "is that still a thing?" when I announced I was on Mastodon. Is it?
Boost this so we actually get a few votes maybe? How far can it go?

My wife and I are going through a bit of a rough time at the moment. We're privileged to be in a better position than a lot of people right now, but we're stuck indefinitely outside our country of residence (China) and surfing from couch to couch. Most of our money is in a Chinese bank account we can't access while outside China (looong story). If anyone can offer me some paid work I can do remotely from #Aotearoa (#NZ), that would really help.

If the only way you can help is a boost, cool :)

Adorably annoying job

For some reason, the WHO still says you probably shouldn’t wear a mask

In the United States, face masks are required in more and more places as part of the fight against the coronavirus. Many stores require them. Some governors are telling people they must wear a mask, even outdoors. Some journalists love scolding pedestrians and politicians who don’t wear them.
