Dass es überhaupt eine Frage der Erinnerung ist, sagt doch schon alles. Jeder normale Mensch weiß auch ohne sich explizit an jeden einzelnen Augenblick der Schulzeit erinnern zu können, sofort, ob es zumindest plausibel ist, den Nazionalsozialismus "ab und zu" verherrlicht zu haben.

Einer der nie einen Mitschüler verprügelt hat, muss auch nicht sein Erinnerungsvermögen bemühen, um die Frage zu verneinen, ob er damals ab und zu den Otto krankenhausreif geschlagen hat.

Ist es nicht eher andersherum, dass die EU-Gesetze den Mietgliedsstaaten da einen Strich durch die Rechnung machen, weshalb sie andauernd versuchen, diese zu ändern? Bestes Beispiel ist die deutsche Vorratsdatenspeicherung.

Ich bin ehrlich gesagt immer wieder überrascht, wie die EU es geschafft hat, so viele progressive Gesetze zu haben, die gerade so Dinge wie die Privatsphäre von Bürgern, Rechte von Verbrauchern und Menschenrechte allgemein schützen, obwohl viele Mitgliedsstaaten sehr gerne dagegen verstoßen würden.

28m3

Sind das dann 3,50m x 3,50m bei 2,30m Deckenhöhe?

To save you a click (although none of the other commenters seem to have read the article anyway): The microchips aren't embedded into the actual cheese that you eat, but are part of the label attached to the outside rind. Nobody will be eating microchips.

What would annoy me about it at least, is the implication that whatever you're currently doing doesn't matter at all. To him, whatever is currently on his mind takes precedence over anything you could possibly be doing at the same time. He doesn't even think about how important or relevant to you the thing is that he wants to show you, because he doesn't value your time the same as his. You're supposed to just drop everything and do as you're told.

Not telling you what it's about also increases the sense of urgency (the implication being that there's no time to explain; the bird could be gone from the windowsill or the kid could have fallen out of the window) while at the same time making it harder to make an informed decision about actually hurrying over or refusing. If you'd ask for an explanation, it might already be too late after all.

am I correct in feeling wary of using this from a security standpoint

I don't really think you have to be worried about security. Without an official API I'd be more worried about stability and potential data loss due to e.g. bugs in the encryption implementation or unexpected API changes though.

this is asking you to put in your Proton username and password and 2FA and it gets stored as a token in the config file.

As far as I can tell it's just using your username and password to obtain an access token just like any other Proton Drive client, including the offical one, would have to do.

It is (or can be) just as secure as a non-mnemonic passcode. The mnemonic aspect just helps with typing it out without errors.

You're not really supposed to remember the mnemonic passcode, but save it in your password manager and/or print it out and store it in a secure location.

Now if you need to use your printed out mnemonic passcode, you just have to type in a bunch of normal words instead of a very long list of random characters and symbols, where it's easy to make mistakes.

Have a look at rsync-sidekick maybe.

I think they they stopped reading after your first sentence and are suggesting KeePass as a password manager that lets you sort by date modified.

Not sure why I see this one recommended so much. Seems like it's run by just one dude who won't always be able to respond to support requests, security issues and other emergencies in the time frames you'd want with such a service. I also really wouldn't want to bet my ability to securely access/send/receive important emails on that one person in Delaware not randomly getting hit by a car or something.

it’s direct support for all services including the server for admin.social

Sounds like there's no reason not to be transparent about it then.

I suppose free ones, new generic TLDs that aren't owned by some trustworthy company or organization that will probably continue to exist for the forseeable future, and country code TLDs from countries without stable governments or a reputable institution managing the TLD.
