No, I would not.

Microsoft pivoted to Skype. Saved you a click and reading about 1000 words.

I'm not even interested in the username of the person I'm responding to. I tend to ignore it completely unless there's a comment like "lol, username checks out".

There are very few times I will bother to check someones profile. They have to either say something so awesome that I want to see more, or have given a take so hot I want to see if they're trolling or if this is standard behaviour for them.

While it looks like the whole Jerboa/"miscommunication" thing has been sorted out here I want to chime in to say that no, I don't think that checking profiles for anything is a reasonable expectation.

I must have been way out of it late last night. I totally missed that you were asking why people do it and not looking for recommendations. Sorry for the spammy nonsense response to your OP.

To the latter question, I've seen devices that do OTP and FIDO in addition to basically storing arbitrary strings (e.g. your cc number).

I get harassment scolding me for using Lemmy to advertise when I mention any of the products by name, despite having no affiliation with any of them outside of being a user, but they're not hard to find if you look.

I'm curious why your listed options are all software that runs on the internet as opposed to a piece of hardware that you connect to your devices.

Is that just because this is the self hosting community?

Why not a piece of hardware instead of self hosting, cloud hosting, etc?

Seems like an appropriate place to share https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps

I'm a fan of ripgrep and lsd in particular.

Check out the fzf docs. It ships with helpers that offer better shell integration than you're getting here.

In addition to many of the fine points made in other comments I think it's silly to overlook the power of celebrity worship and weird-ass parasocial relationships with famous people.

There exists a large number of people who aren't really interested in discussing <topic_x>, they just want to know what thinks about the topic so that they can regurgitate it and feel like they're "the same".

I'm sure if Chappell Roan or whatever "the kids" think is cool these days had jumped to Mastodon we'd be seeing something very different. TBH I'm mildly surprised that we didn't see more record labels standing up instances. It's always boggled me that people have just trusted the service desperately trying to be known as "X" as an authority on identity.

Well of course not, they want as many of the sequel dollars as they can possibly get. What, they're to share the hype with filthy animators?!

I saw the lack of arm and facepalmed but I was half asleep poo posting so got over it :p (fixed now!)

I've been using this device for ~5 years now, so my memory is a little hazy on it, but I'm pretty sure for the particular device I prefer (which is to say, I have nfc what the setup is for other vendors, which could be greatly superior) the AES-256 key used for encryption isn't generated until you setup your first card.

How would any company, regardless of geography have the secret I generated? This is a stand alone hardware device. They seller is not involved at all once I've received my package.

Could a sophisticated/well resourced actor clone the smart card they stole or you lost? Sure, brute force attacks are brute force attacks. At least you'd know your device and card are stolen. Now you're in a race to reset your passwords before they finish making 500 clones of the smart card they stole.

Hypothetically I could blackmail someone at LastPass and have a backdoor is installed for me.

Someone could bust down my door while I have it connected and unlocked and just login to all my things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
