I’m an atheist. I disagree that this is about intelligence… I think it’s more about ignorance. This is an important distinction and I think it’s more harmful to our cause to demean them the same way they might do to marginalized groups.

A lot of people have trouble empathizing with those in marginalized groups because they don’t have anyone close to them that is affected by their hateful ways of thinking. Often, just having a family member or friend come out to them is enough to open their mind. I think that most of the time, these people just lack the information (emotionally) necessary to understand harmful their beliefs have been. Years of indoctrination make it so much harder to overcome, but indoctrination doesn’t necessarily mean they lack intelligence. I think the words we use are important tools in changing minds.

She has made many appearances on the TWiT network over the years. Always interesting to hear what she had to say. Hopefully she finds somewhere supportive to continue her work.

Looking forward to the day when I use Darktrace’s AI threat detection to stop ChatGPT’s AI generated threats…

What a world we’ve built!

I get it. Just have to be careful about the language we use when we want to change minds.

That’s a seriously risky individual at this point!

In my view, I think I would seriously question anyone that suggests using Google products for business.

I was already on the way to it but Stadia was the thing that finally pushed me all the way out of Google services. I wouldn’t invest any time into any of their products at this point. Especially on the business side, I just can’t fathom choosing Google for anything.

I’m pretty liberal but I work for a construction company with a lot of very conservative people, and my father and his family are catholic and very conservative as well. I regularly interact with a lot of people that share vastly different views.

Switched a year ago and never looked back. I was using ddg before that. Highly recommended. Being able to block and rank sites is great. You can also setup redirects and there’s a quick link to the Internet Archive for every link too.

Thanks for the info about the DeckyLoader plugin and the suggestion to not require login from sleep. I think that’s a good compromise, meaning my computer will lock if powered off or rebooted, but not from just sleeping.

This seems to work ok. Thanks!

Seems strange that you could remove 2FA without being forced to authenticate via 2FA first.

I use Reeder as well, with my feeds coming from Feedbin. Reeder has an option to use iCloud to hold & sync feeds across your devices, but I haven’t had good luck with that.

Is there a way to get backup codes? I enabled 2FA, but I don’t see anywhere to generate them.
