Any break in my phone will take weeks for me to be able to afford to replace, meanwhile what? Im locked out of everything?

Why would I risk that?

Phone battery is dead so I got to wait 5 minutes to log into my forums while it charges enough to allow me to boot it and then boots?

Might as well move purely to yubikey in that case.

The whole point of using authy was the reliability of cloneable auth tokens between my desktop, laptop (desktop os) and phone.

3 piece holy trinity.

and what? you want to move that down to one?

Even if its backed up, what do I do while it is stolen or off for repairs?

The ENTIRE point of using authy over any other solution was that its wide app base made it more reliable.

They adversely selected for the userbase that would get mad over this

They meant free as in freedom.

The concern is that google basically funds firefox, and can choose to revoke that funding at the most inconvenient time for mozilla, risking bankruptcy. Companies ebb and flow on cash flow, and a unexpected drop at the exact wrong moment can cripple even the most well funded ones.

Or just threaten to do so to exert pressure.

Looking at the historical maintenance cost of the stacks when choosing them and prioritizing ones with a better history of backwards and forwards compatibility in their ecosystem does far more to prevent tech debt pile up than trying to reach a strict habit of bending over backwards to update dependencies.

As a seattlite who got tired of hunting for a building that still had a street number just to get a cab on 5th and Jackson or what ever I'm glad uber killed taxis

Men are allowed to feel the same sense of privacy and intimacy over one's own body that we afford women, and pretending only women get harmed by the rampant abuse of photoshop on steroids doesn't do anybody any good.

And as the digital world increasingly invades and influences our realities and experiences the importance of not only serving the common denominator gets more important, not less.

But also some accounts are just banned.

Banned accounts can still comment, but they start dead and have to be vouched first before showing to anybody who didn't enable showdead in their profile.

if youtube wanted to make the ads unblockable, they could embed them in the primary video stream. They won't do that because then they would have to expend the computational effort of muxing the content instead of offloading it onto your computer. They want their code (javascript) to manage the ads to run on your computer and they want to be able to treat your computer as their slave.

Deployment should focus on non-cloud deployments as a first class citizen.

Cloud is 100x more expensive on bandwidth and it is much easier to make a non-cloud product work in the cloud then make a cloud product work outside of the cloud.

I'd suggest moving to k3s and testing deployments on raspberry pis or one of the x64 based SBCs.

Or maybe work on deployments to vpses.

Making it easy with cloud should still also be a primary goal, just avoid making it hard to reduce costs by moving to rented dedicated servers or rented vpses. Some communities will need the 99% reduction.

engagement driving bullshit could very easy become banned under ADA if the right public servant gave it enough thought.

/usr/bin only existed because of fast small mainframe hard drives and slower larger hard drives.

I don't understand why the direction is the way it is thou. getting rid of /usr/ seems like it would make more sense.
