  • I mean you’re right about banks but your examples make no sense.

    Banks generally don’t support 2fa, which is bad. Some banks (fidelity) still have character limits on passwords because they stores it in plaintext until recently so you could use it through the telephone system. They could implement a secure tap to pay system on your phones with enhanced security, rather than relying on Google to handle their job. And for credit cards themselves, switch to chip and pin.

    “Banks don’t have mobile apps”?? “Signatures are secure”???🤡

    I don’t personally believe in what she believes in, but it’s perfectly reasonable for someone who grew up during this country’s Reagan era to truly and genuinely believe that serving in the military is a valuable and fulfilling purpose that’s greater and more important than the needs of a single family.

    Maybe it’s clown makeup, but wouldn’t it be nice to feel some sense of purpose in your life rather than spending it shit talking people on the internet?



  • Destroyers were classically ships that defended a larger group. They would fight submarines and other ship to ship threats in order to leave cruisers and aircraft carriers to their work.

    Destroyer was not, in it’s original meaning, focused on ship to land bombardment (that’s only part of the current generation because technology shrunk enough and nobody wants to spend a shitton of money on big boats anymore except the US)

    I mean apple has spent at least the last decade using iMessage as a way to bring people into the platform and keep them there. Ie the articles from a few years back about using it to manipulate teenager behavior a la Instagram, or the epic games discovery documents which indicated this was a deliberate and cruel strategy from apple to lock ignorant people into their platform to avoid losing their social network.

    Tldr: they deliberately try to make people lose friends if they leave the platform. You might say “shit friends” and I’d agree, but this is the FUD that apple spreads.
