Solid use of 'Chode'. Glad that's coming back around.

Is there is any modern Reddit alternative on the fediverse? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 77 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Does anyone have any good alternatives to my hometown, due to all the problems my hometown has? I dont want to get involved and help with my hometown, just stand in the town square and ask where a better town is. Oh, and don't suggest the neighboring towns either.

TIL "How do you dress?" means "Which pants leg do you put your penis down?" in c/[email protected]

It was, "Which side do you dress to?" around here. Especially if i was a woman doing the measurements for the tailoring.

This is dice propaganda from bad dice that want you to stop punishing them. Don't fall for it.

How and why did humans start consuming chicken eggs? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Wasn't the first eggs we ate as a species and they were relatively easy to get compared to larger game or birds that flew

We probably started eating eggs in general cause we saw other animals eating them and we liked protein too.

Number of email accounts for financials in c/[email protected]

Sure. It can be "less" secure from a procedural perspective because it increases the complexity of the user accessing their info. The more difficult/complicated it is for the user, the more likely of user mistakes exposing their accounts in one way or another. Obviously there are password apps that allow for seamless login (some of those can also be problematic), which alleviates the complexity, but then you have multiple email accounts to manage on some level for the various services and websites you use.

End of day, if it works, it works, but it's important to pay attention to your user experience while also taking in to account the various tools (strong pass, mfa, etc) when setting yourself up. If you get annoyed that you have too many emails to manage, you might be more likely to not log out, or not use mfa, etc.

edit wasn't trying to say it was WAY more insecure to use separate emails, just that it probably wasn't necessary if you have different pass and use mfa. Sometimes 'more, better' isn't 'more-better'.

Smartphone Keyboard Information Bonanza: What's available and what's best for your needs (lemmy.world)

Howdy. I wanted a central place for information surrounding smartphone keyboards since there have been some changes recently to a few of them. I hope to keep this post afloat over the long term so we can share experiences, information, news, etc to find the perfect smartphone keyboard for ourselves and help others do the same.

Smartphone keyboards are unique apps. How a person interacts with the device they probably use more consistently than any other is a big consideration. Add to that the potential for direct data theft through the keyboard itself potentially being a fancy keylogger and it makes sense to pay more attention to the app that many of us dont give a second thought to.

To that end, i think we should crowdsource 1st hand usage experience coupled with news and information to make a list of keyboards. Everyone has different priorities, use cases, and needs. The list should reflect that diversity.

"Why now borZ0, whats the big deal?"

Well, i used Swype (which is the greatest of all keyboards in ever forever) until the most recent version of OneUI came out and borked it. (...to be fair, from what i understand, no development has been done with Swype since it sold years back and this was bound to happen) Since my precious keyboard was ripped from my hands I've been trying very hard to like samsung's native keyboard... trying so hard.... but am open to something that better fits my use case. I'm more privacy and security focused now and would prefer a keyboard that wasn't feasting on my user data. If this thread gets enough data, maybe we can put together a spreadseet listing multiple data points....?

I'm writing this from a coffee shop and will add more of my own experiences and collected data over the next couple days but wanted to get the ball rolling. Please post your own experiences, links to articles, wikipedia, inevitable Lemmy posts that have aleady talked about this (even links to the site which shall not be named are useful) and we can start getting a list/ table together.

Tldr: Smartphone keyboards are important and often lame. Thoughts?
