Ah, not to my knowledge. But for me, considering everything is locally encrypted, thats sufficient. I’d imagine that the prospect of accidentally wiping the contents with an incorrect passcode would delay any attempts to crack it.

Not sure what you mean, but you can set it to immediately lock when the device is locked. So all it takes is for the screen to sleep or manually lock the phone.

I set mine to immediately lock but there’s options for 5, 10, 30 seconds, etc.

I use SimpleX and one of the features I really like is the self-destruct code. You can have one pin that allows you to open your chats like normal, but if you input a self-destruct code instead the app opens like normal but deletes all information in the background and wipes your profile. All the user sees is an empty profile and empty chat history.

So if you’re at a protest or something and MUST have your phone, you still have a safeguard against communication snooping. Say your phone is confiscated and they obtain your device lock, there’s nothing they can do about the self-destruct code. “I just downloaded the app in case I ever needed to use it for sensitive data with my wife, but we never ended up using it.”

I do wish that they allowed keypad scrambling though. Even stock Android allows lockscreen pinpad scrambling to avoid fingerprint code hinting.

I’m firmly in the camp of '“don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. I’d be happier if he suffered, but I’m not necessarily washing it were the case.

Neil has a lot in common with one of my friends back home

I was shocked to learn a couple days ago when I installed Mint on my wife’s Surface laptop that the UI scaling only had 2 options for scaling in the basic settings. 100% and 200%. I had to click advanced settings, enable fractional scaling or something similar, go back and then I had options for 50, 75, 125, 150, etc. i don’t remember if I saw a box for custom values though.

Can you believe that people just 40 years ago were still calling them stickers. Crazy how far we’ve come in just a short amount of time. Now they’re using it in songs on the radio.

probably not very good for humanity in the long run.

Eh. C’est la vie. We had a good run.

I’d agree with you if not for everyone that actually has anything to do with the US soccer federation already saying that they did not plan to appeal unless his suspension was extended beyond the automatic one-game.

That’s like saying you should be disqualified and sent home from a local golf tournament because your boss who has nothing to do with the tournament called the organizers and bribed them to change the score on a hole.

What should have happened is Infantino should be immediately removed from his role, anyone else involved in the matter should also be removed, and Balogun’s ban should be reinstated. If anyone in the US federation was pushing for this, then the US should also be removed from the tournament under article 14(?)…but to my knowledge this came from outside the federation entirely.

Part of the problem no one has mentioned yet is that “America 250” was a planned national slogan and organized effort to celebrate our independence. I don’t know the specifics but dipshit bastardized it and spun off “Freedom 250” which is associated with just his administration and was used to line his pockets with money meant for the celebrations in D.C. Again, I don’t know the specifics, but I’m pretty sure the gist of it is that its a shell company that he controls and put allies on the board for.

I’d imagine most Americans would have my same reaction.

Please do. Would make the world a better place.

Okay. Carry on. I was thinking that you meant the free tier didn’t support HTTPS encrypted traffic. I didnt want someone to rule out that option based on a false assumption. Sorry for the confusion.

They also only allow HTTP traffic for the free tier, which is another way they push you towards business tiers.

I don’t think that’s true. I’m pretty certain all of my domains are HTTPS only, but maybe that’s because I own the domain? Does cloudflare offer free domain names for tunneled traffic?

It may as well be a mafia organization. I don’t know what keeps continental federations from building a new FIFA replacement other than further corruption. Maybe the expansion to 48 teams and the unprecedented rescinding of Balogun’s suspension will finally be the guillotine that cut the camel in half.

I don’t disagree with you that $20 billion is a drop in the federal bucket that would be returned tenfold in improved societal shifts and increases in economic output. I also don’t love farm subsidies, but in terms of places to pull $20 billion from, I’d rather start with investments in foreign countries committing genocide and then work our way over to the military budget if that doesn’t cover the entire bill.

I’m going to preface this with a disclaimer that I despise the capitalism and fascism the United States government and by extension a significant portion of our population currently represents.

But your take is just biased opinion of hatred for the current administration or our bandwagon of ignorant fans that have no respect for the game. Anyone who watches world football knows that this United States team is undeniably talented. Are they France, England, Spain, Argentina in terms of pitch to bench talent? No. There’s more technical ability on all of those teams, but the U.S. almost certainly has more fitness and athleticism than all of them and enough talent to use it to our advantage. This isn’t the U.S. of decades past. They have a legitimate chance at making the semi finals where I’d predict we would be knocked out by France. This American squad is legitimately very good. We beat Paraguay handily 4-1 and it wasn’t as close as the score suggests. That same Paraguay team eliminated Germany.

Could be worse. This summer IT replaced all of our desktop mini PCs with Chromeboxes and ChromeOS. I don’t even have privileges. Any software I would want to install would have to come from google play store and requires admin level privileges. I normally download the desktop app to play Spotify on my computer, but can’t even do that. I can’t even change the fucking desktop background. The ONLY software freedom I have is chrome extensions and even that is a walled garden of Google’s making. Manifest v3 is going to make using my desktop nearly impossible compared to the freedom I have at home.

Honestly they could probably just take the damn thing out of my office at this point. I really only use it for documentation or continuing education so I could just use my personal laptop or go back to pen and paper for that. Anything else I would have done in my downtime at work can just wait until I get home.

At his age, yes, but be careful about generalizing. I have to correct people in my CPR classes all the time that “good CPR” means you will break ribs, which isn’t true.

Notice I never mentioned that they don’t get cancer. But also there’s more than a few reputable sources that explain Peto’s Paradox. These 2 are what I learned from.

Is the painting supposed to be a subtle jab at Napoleon with the original depiction of Napoleon crowning himself painted over? Or is that genuinely a change in composition?
