Did you open a PR or something?
foxygen··on Brazil justice orders ban of video platform Rumble
The Supreme Court Justice is banning people, not the platform owners...
foxygen··on Meta claims torrenting pirated books isn't illegal without proof of seeding
Copyright laws should not exist. Claiming you "own" a specific sequence of words/pixels is crazy. I hope Meta wins the case.

This comments makes no sense.

The reason why people aren't sweating 1mb is because everything has gotten to be that big. Change that number to 20mb.

And guess what? In 5 years time, someone will say "Nobody in the West is seating a 200mb download" because it keeps increasing.

I'll be moving to Proton Pass.
foxygen··on Bitwarden is turning 2FA on by default for new devices
That actually happened to me a couple years ago. I was in a foreign country, and lost my phone. All I had to do was buy a new cheap phone and login to Bitwarden again. If I had 2FA enabled, I'd be completely screwed.

This is terrible, honestly. One of the reasons I use Bitwarden is to be able to not know all my passwords besides the Bitwarden one. I don't know my email password, so can't use that for 2FA. Same for using my phone number or an authenticator app, if I lose my phone, I would also be locked out of my account.

The risk of someone stealing my phone is much higher than someone stealing my main password where I live. I intentionally decided not to use 2FA, because that is what makes most sense for my context. I'm ready to take full responsibility for not using 2FA, but now I can't.
