I think the writer of this is tired of it as well Lol

i think i'm already tired of the term "metaverse"

all salespeople know is mcdonalds , bluetooth they phone, shake hands, be heterosexual, eat hot chip & lie

you know, I just found a pamphlet that says that I don't have that automatic crash response, you were right.

I got lied to by a salesperson! 😭

god please don't bring itch into this most of us on there are just trying to make niche stuff for queer people lol

apple is doing its best to come across as a bunch of censorious puritans, clutching their pearls at the mere mention of sex

"unspeakable games"

Yikes hmm.. I'll check into that, thanks

that's scary. even if i had paid up i'm not sure i'd ever really be able to trust the software to actually enable the thing

I looked this up to be sure, and according to the onstar website that service is specifically $300 a year and you don't get it if you don't pay. I've seen mixed messages about what happens if you don't have a subscription and push the button, apparently in some cases if you press the emergency button without a subscription a creepy voice tells you that you need to sign up.

I think people might mix this up because if you hit the onstar button itself you will talk to someone if even you're not subbed, but that's someone there to sell you service and they don't get your location. I think they may be able to dial 911 if you can talk, but I'm not even sure about that.

In any case car salespeople will say anything in order to get you to buy a car so I'm not sure if that's a trustworthy source.

u joke but onstar was the bridge my family needed to get my grandparents to understand cell phones

well how could you NOT pay for that

oh i can call them up and be like, "where is applebee's?", and a person on the other end has to google it and tell me.

I'm curious, if it's provided for free, then what else would you get if paying for it?

I got a new car recently and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that onstar would still call the emergency services in a crash even if I didn't pay for it. I asked for clarification and the salesperson was like, "No, that would be ridiculous. Monstrous even. We'll give you the freebie if the crash detectors go off. You can also press the SOS button for free. You don't have to pay for that."

this was fun, I worked my way through most of it today, apart from the stuff I couldn't understand cause it was too academic codey :D

It was that and a guy I follow on youtube did a post-lastpass rundown describing it and I was like rad! I was under the impression that it was some complex thing you had to host yourself, and not just like, 1password with some frills sanded off

yay im glad i helped (i assume)

ya i ended up going with bitwardens free option and i'm quite pleased with it so far :> also it picks up passwords for android apps as well as webpages which is nice!

I've used 1password for over a decade and it has never let me down. Worth it even if it's a bit pricey

I have this exact setup (with KeePassXC) and I have no complaints.

i swapped from lastpass to bitwarden a while ago

I use KeePassDX on my phone with the database synced using Syncthing to my laptop where I use kpcli. Though, unless you also prefer to live inside a terminal, you're probably better off with KeePassXC for more features and support for newer database format/algorithms.

it's definitely more work but i've gone all open source on my password management and use a keepass database i share between computers using syncthing. keepass also has a mobile app that i believe lets you sync the database from a pc but i haven't tried that out yet

anyway if you don't mind some extra effort and feel technically savvy enough i thought i'd just throw it out there as an option

1password!

https://1password.com/sign-up/

it's $3/mo or $5/mo when billing is shared with up to 5 people. (BTW, none of the 5 people can see one anothers passwords unless they explicitly choose to share.)

Can't go wrong with 1password tbh

i just use the one built-in to firefox. i'm fairly confident mozilla is far away from doing something shitty with peoples' passwords.
