But there are already enough talented commentators and content creators in that space that I dunno if there’s room for me to ever carve out a name for myself.

If they’re not on the Fediverse, this might be the space to give it a go?

Myself, I pick up new fandoms here just based on who is here and sharing content.

That’s why I confessed. I’m glad to help.

Okay. I briefly ate the onion, on this one. It tastes like sysadmin tears.

Nice. That is what I did, at first, as well.

One thing I discovered is that the vast majority of 2FA uses a shared open standard. I was able to cut way down on the count of 2FA apps I had to install, and just use Aegis for almost everything.

Aegis runs fine on GrapheneOS, too.

Great point about bank apps.

Thankfully I never got in the habit of tap to pay with my phone.

The amount of data that bank apps want to slurp up in the name of “security” makes me uncomfortable, anyway.

I just bank via web browser, today.

Nothing is perfect.

But every alternate Android ROM I have tried has given me a dramatic speed boost over what shipped with the phone.

I guess there are other definitions of “good”, haha.

For me good==fast, and GrapheneOS is the most responsive phone OS I have used, and therefore the best.

As a fellow former CyanogenMod user, I run GrapheneOS. I like that it gives me the most control over my hardware, of any of the Android variants I have tried.

Edit: I buy phones specifically looking for GrapheneOS support, now. But for non-pixel phones, I have found LineageOS to be fine.

CyanogenMod was for iPods and iPhone, and released in 2009, so if we round a smidge, 20 years.

Yes. And then sign another authorization for each other topic - another for disposal of my property if I die, one for my funeral preferences, one to pick up my prescriptions, and hope I don’t forget any.

Or, courthouse, one time, 15 minutes, and done.

A marriage license acts like a super convenient combination of othet legal documents.

The point, to me, is using the government to tell hospitals what to do. I don’t want my parents making big decisions for me - I want the family I chose, my spouse, to do that.

Marriage is how I tell the state, and everyone, who my chosen family is.

Sure!

But I don’t expect it to change much.

I could already do that, by hand as well.

It’s a bit like how there’s so many different superheroes who are obviously just off-brand SuperMan or off-brand Captain America.

Minor changes to avoid intellectual property law and branding has always been an option.

And I suppose all of these are easier now with the remixing slop-o-trons.

But they weren’t terribly difficult, or particularly uncommon, even before.

I have shared that frustration, trying to find that balance.

I try to get some basic wisdom through to them to help prevent something horrible happening later, but I don’t want to cause them pain now, either.

I have taken to asking them to take my hand in theirs, when I think they aren’t listening.

The younger kid appreciates the connection. The older kid practices their active listening skills to make me leave them alone sooner.

“We can’t all be robots, Truman. Because if we were all lying to you, I would be. I’m not a Robot, Truman.”

Paraphrased from Noah Emmerich’s fantastic delivery in “The Truman Show”.

“Everything printed by Tabloid is automatically capitalized, and an exclamation point is added. Why would you want anything else?”

Finally an opinionated programming language with the right priorities.

Damn. I love this community. Lemmy goes hard.

“My kid can read now.”

“It’s never too early to teach them regular expressions.”

Edit: To be clear, I agree. It’s just great to be among like minded folks, here.

You can make an image of the / drive so it’s easier to restore if they break the system.

That’s good advice. I always meant to do that with computers my kids access.

Although I haven’t ever had my kids break a Linux Mint install. I set them up as non-sudo users and that was enough.

Of course, they grew older and have sudo now, so I should actually think about taking a drive image, now.

Teach them to launch Vim, and they can spend their remaining computer use time using Vim.

Unless they figure out how to exit vim, then please have them come teach me how.

Sorry. I will see myself out.

If they are ready to move beyond block code, Pyxel looks like a fun way to learn some Python.

You could do what my dad did and accidently delete some of the system files, leaving it for your kid to fix.

Now I assume this thread is full of folks trying to figure out if we found our siblings Lemmy account…
