To a slightly lesser extent, that's also true of Windows - severe malfunctions are less likely to happen, but when they do happen, fixing them is almost always an absolute clusterfuck, and when it isn't, it's downright impossible.

By "problem" I meant having to close Firefox before further browsing, not automated updates - I don't know if I could stand daily-driving a system with Snap updating my stuff while I'm trying to use it tbh, that's one of the main reasons I left Windows behind.

Your first comment gave me the impression that Firefox required a restart because it's distributed officially through Snaps or something, idk 27 days have passed since then

I've seen some bad implementation of (camera-based) MB way back, I don't quite remember which game it was but the engine would just blend the current frame with previous ones and leave one or more afterimages.

I think it was Garry's Mod?

No, that's bad motion blur - TAA would leave a spacetime distortion behind the sword

I did consider that in a comment I wrote deeper in the thread, but if you put it like that, the concept of "hole" doesn't even make sense anymore

"The human body has 7 holes" is most likely a reference to [this vsauce video], and admittedly said video is the entirety of my knowledge on topology;

that should answer "I’m really curious how you got that number", and... probably the comment I'm replying to?

I'm not sure I understand your rhetorical curiosity, but humans usually insert food in their mouth which is then pushed through the entire through-hole while being exposed to gastric acid and whatnot; another example are tears, entering the openings in the eyelids and coming out of the nostrils.
Urine is instead chemically produced by the kidneys, and, unless you consider the space between molecules (which AFAIK is not within the domain of topology), that doesn't count as one shape traversing a through-hole of another.

It's not a through-hole, because you can't insert a small object into it and have it come out of some other opening

require the use of insecure and invasive SMS verification

My honest reaction:

That much I can agree with at this point.

Actually, it's arguably even worse - it's not that Steam doesn't support normal TOTP, it's that Steam goes out of their way to prevent TOTP from being used without switching to an entirely new algorithm.

I don't recall, I've set it up a few years ago - I've been trying to look for instructions for another comment, but it seems that they made it VERY difficult for people without rooted Android to obtain the TOTP secret.

Though it is RFC 6238 compliant, using 5 digits instead of 6.

I don't quite remember how to get the TOTP secret from the Steam app (they could in fact take notes from GOG here), iirc you have to extract it from the Android app via adb;
but once you have it, if this GitHub comment is correct you simply have to set the code size to 5 digits.

If your phone has a rooted Android install, I found this guide.

... I swear when I did it, it wasn't this hard ._.
