i'd like to point out that if someone is calling the masses to action, they're probably not specifically talking about the people who absolutely can't participate.

there are plenty of people out there who CAN answer that call, but DON'T because they have the privilege to stand back and be comfortable, or maybe it just doesn't really occur to them, or even the people that usually do help might not be up to speed on current events

these posts aren't always meant for you

why do phone manufacturers are now making 5" or bigger screens nearly exclusively? my hands are too small to use my phone with only one of them, but in a bus i can't use both

and the interfaces, the 'back' button is in the top left corner, the numeric keyboard switch is in the bottom left, i can't reach even the latter

Excellent episode. Should be mandatory listening for IT staff. 👏

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

All of the GDPR emails are annoying for sure but it's also immensely satisfying to see all of these companies shitting their pants. Fucking finally, right

These emails about changes in privacy policies really start to annoy me 😒

voting wont change anything - protesting with chants and signs and holding hands isnt gonna change anything either - we need more than that - we cant wait anymore - we need something radically different and we cant just ask for it or expect it to happen somehow

lol ok

I have a 1st Gen RPi laying around just waiting for this.

One thing I don't understand is people complaining about graffiti on trains and walls but they couldn't be bothered a bit by ads being everywhere in our daily life actively and literally trying to manipulate everybody's thoughts and actions. But it's legit because that access to your brain is bought with money.

@deadsuperhero @mono @eff I left Facebook to raise awareness of how bad Facebook is. Unfortunately Facebook does not have a "HEY EVERYBODY SEAN LEFT FACEBOOK DON'T YOU FEEL BAD NOW" newsfeed item.

KeePassDX lets you store your passphrase in Android's secure storage protected by your fingerprint, if you're willing to do that & don't like typing in your long secure passphrase all the time.

andOTP lets you make a PGP- or passphrase-encrypted backup of your TOTP secrets, which means you don't have to deal with backup codes for sites you're using 2FA on. It also supports PIN or fingerprint auth and "tap-to-show".

Both are available on F-Droid.
