idontcareatall··on Mason: A declarative build tool on top of Dagger
For the love of god, just use Nix. Oh look, more YAML. I really just can't, the more I look the more I'm in slight disbelief.
idontcareatall··on Android and Wear OS are getting a redesign
It's astonishing that anyone can say this with a straight face. Just unbelievable the effect Apple has on some people. Gruber finally getting disenfranchised. Eeven my most annoying/obsessive iOS-fan friends have admitted that they are jealous of my camera, my ability to do real multi-tasking, upload photos with the screen off, have the audio and BT audio work reliably. It's just stunning what some iOS users don't know.
idontcareatall··on Why are banks still getting authentication so wrong?
Me? As in, I've literally changed banks and canceled cards over this.

I can't get SMS when I'm traveling which is 95% of my time. It's such an entirely ignorant US-centric view to assume that everyone has a phone, has SMS plans, has cell service at all, etc.

idontcareatall··on Why are banks still getting authentication so wrong?
I. don't. care. Because we have to cater to the absolute lowest denominator, I now can't use my credit card 90% of the time because I can't receive SMS when I'm traveling aboard? No, not everyone has a fking iPhone and iMessage. Nothing in your comment serves as a defense of most places only having SMS 2FA. Why can Capital One email me every critical account notification, but can't email me 2FA/OTP codes for confirming transactions when I'm on the other side of the world? Why?

It is flatly absurd that my Xbox account can be more secure than most of my bank accounts. I am tired of hearing people justify the utter laziness of US financial institutions. Everything about dealing with money in the US has become increasingly incredibly user hostile. Fidelity won't allow ANY integration with apps like Lunch Money and have some impressive automation detection that blocks headless Chrome usage better than anyone else. I'm completely at their mercy, and cannot sanely manage my money because of them. It's complete god damn garbage.
