That's what they did. And Reddit restored the original content of the comments, likely from an older backup.

Where did you access it from? Was it a university? As far as I've learned, ARPAnet wasn't available in residential settings.

The reality for most people is they charge their phone at night, and that's it. If the phone has a built in mechanism to stop charging at a certain percentage, you can use that, but otherwise it will just charge to 100%.

The only other option would be to have a smart outlet, and have your phone turn off the smart outlet when it hits 80%, which is an annoyance even if you know how to do it, and virtually impossible for tech illiterate people.

The next best thing is to make sure you aren't using a fast charger, as the heat from fast charging is arguably worse than charging it to 100%. And if it's charging over night, there is no reason for it to charge quickly.

I am in the US, and I despise what's going on. So please do not take what I am about to say as a defense to what is happening here.

Things are pretty extreme right now, but they aren't as bad as the extreme left media is making it out to be. I find news articles posted on Lemmy are often sensationalized. There are 100% things we need to worry about, and things I myself am fighting (most everything the orange man does). But I do not think it is so bad you should cancel a big opportunity for yourself. Obviously things are happening to people, but most people are traveling to and from the US without any issues. You aren't going to hear reports about all the people who didn't have any issues while traveling.

I do not think there is reason to believe anything would happen to you. The right doesn't want you here, so they absolutely aren't going to keep you here as a prisoner. If they wanted you out, you would gladly leave on your own accord and cover all the expenses. They wouldn't spend more money making you leave if you don't want to be here anyway.

Bitwarden had some security issues historically.

What security issues? If you mean potential security vulnerabilities researcher found that they've patched, I don't understand how that would be different from Keepass and their previous security vulnerabilities. Bitwarden has never had a security issues historically that I know of. Lastpass, on the other hand...

I generally recommend using software for password managers that isn’t internet connected.

I also recommend they upload it to whatever cloud storage they use

I also really don't get these two. They seem to contradict each other.

I usually recommend bitwarden, where they can use the browser extension and mobile phone app. It gives them autofill features on all their sites. Getting someone to change their passwords and use a password manager is already difficult enough. Giving them the most convenient option is going to make it more like they stick with it.

Being social is pretty similar to exercising. When you first try to do it after a while, it's usually painful and not enjoyable. It isn't until practicing and keeping at it that it will get easier and you can actually feel the benefits. Finding someone that you can actually share your hobbies with can go a long way, especially if they are able to give some sort of input as well that is beneficial to what you're working on.

Yea, being able to and actually doing so are very different. Reading is the barrier to entry for most everything. Time and energy are the missing resources, though. I am a tech enthusiast, and I struggle to find time to do all the things I want.

Yea, telegram being advertised as a privacy messenger is a joke. If people want to have group chats like in discord and don't care about privacy, whatever. But to try and flaunt how privacy focused you are while using your own home-brewed encryption is a joke. Not to mention the fact you have to turn it on for every chat you want end to end encrypted.

The whole thing about not giving out data is really only accomplished by spreading user data across several countries. So you would have to get a search warrant from every country to get the data, relying on some countries not wanting to cooperate with other countries. That is not real security. Real security would be encrypting it so you literally couldn't give them the data, even if they had a search warrant. Ya know, like signal.

  1. A password managed is basically like a physical vault. If someone gets into a physical vault, they've gained access to all your valuable items, but the vault is extremely difficult to get into.
  2. Random websites do not prioritize security like they should. So when there is inevitably a breach in one of those 50 sites and you end up on haveibeenpwned.com, that does not allow them access to the other 49 sites. Often when logins are breached, the people getting that information do not care about the actual site that was breached. Rather, they know a password you use and your email, and can now try to login to actually useful sites where people often use the same login.
  3. There should be multiple layers of security to your password manager. Password and Authenticator app should be basic (No SMS or Email 2FA, not secure enough). Ideally, we move towards passwordless logins altogether so there is no secret that can be compromised on the server side.

Why keepass and not Bitwarden? Wouldn't bitwarden be more user friendly for trying to ease people into secure technologies?

Can't relate. Life is way better when your brain works almost how it's supposed to

I've seen some sources say that too high or low of pH levels can impact how well a stimulant is absorbed into your system. It seems the biggest source in regular diets, especially American diets, is citric acid. I enjoy many citric heavy juices, and also drink a lot of soda. Do you guys watch your citric acid intake about an hour before and after you take your medication? Do you notice an impact either way? I drink a lot of juice/soda, so I would have to adjust my diet quite a bit (granted, probably not the worst thing).

 

One of the biggest things holding me back from leaving Reddit, despite the fact I hate the way they are handling, well, everything, is the sense of community with people sharing similar experiences as me, as well as sharing my hobbies. It's nice to be able to look at things other people made in a hobby you're interested in, but even moreso it's nice to be able to relate your struggles with others sharing your struggles. To leave reddit would mean leaving behind r/ADHD and r/ADHDmemes which allow us to vent and make light of our daily struggles. It's nice that there is another community here I can turn to instead. I hope this platform continues to grow and improve, so I don't ever have to look back on the pile rubble that reddit is quickly becoming.
