I want to de-smartphone my life. I think I can mostly untangle myself except for one particular snag.

My 2FA codes are on my smartphone. For multiple reasons I don't want to move them all to Bitwarden. Ente looked promising until I checked the number of slop commits. YubiKey (the TOTP kind) is out of budget.

Any recommendations for migration?

Let me put it this way: I am not wishing you well, ye contributors to this project! You are building the weapons that are costing to hours and days of my life to defend against.

tumblr post by @orphanedsource “the place I work at remodeled these split gendered restrooms into "inclusive restrooms" and never told us what they meant while construction was ongoing. I need you to know every atom of potential criticism or whining that could've happened disappeared when people found out this meant we got 10 fully separate private bathrooms with sinks inside. I've not heard a single person crack a joke about the inclusive signage. this is the world TERFs are trying to steal from you”

A brief history of reviewing things on the internet, vol. II

'I was here when the Googles and Facebooks met gods from distant lands,' Girl continues, 'and relied on their self-imposed codes of honor to claim a higher moral ground. And I was here when the power in reviewing returned - when a strangers livelihood rested on how many stars I gave a driver or delivery - when anything less than perfect marks meant - not imperfect service - but wishing harm upon others - being made complicit in blackmail. And the only power you hold - any of us hold - is the power to PUNISH - not the gods - but each other. And I'll be here for the final battle, when the gods' failure to live by their own ideals leads their internet to collapse in a miasma of fire and serpent. And after all of those gods have perished, and the world begins anew. Want to get pizza?' 'Where?' Cat asks.

And here’s @henry nailing the key point: it doesn’t matter if so-called AI “works.” What matters is that the value of your labor goes down, and workers are pushed further into precarity.

But what *really* matters, of course, is what we collectively decide to do about that.

Trump said both helicopter pilots "are safe and uninjured."
