One thing I would suspect is they leverage third parties and share your phone number to get back additional known data about you or your interests or other activities which other companies have shared. I think in a way it ends up being a connection point for your data across many places.

Apple security updates could be banned by British government
This sounds like a clandestine way to force cooperation of backdoors, otherwise asking for permission to patch your own software is bonkers ...

Is it normal to misgender yourself?
I'm sure it's normal as brain plasticity takes time to reshape the neuron pathways and memory links. Give your brain and inner voice some time to get to know your new self and it will come.
Don't be so hard on yourself!
Cheers!

Decided to start paying predominantly cash again
Some credit cards offer 2% cash back... (Not points) So it's hard to give that up when you get 2% off for just about every dollar you spend. Why wouldn't you put every dollar on card you would normally spend.
This doesn't work well if you are paying interest...
If you're fiscally savvy and don't overspend and can pay your balance in full every month and are not paying interest, this is a strong vote for choosing over cash.
However, without that....I see no benefit and would use more cash for all reasons in this thread.

Do other people ever have the experience of simulating yourself doing something in your head, and then doing it in real life exactly how you imagined it?
Good technique.
Visualization I think it's called?

PasswordCard - A interesting option for analog password managers
Cute idea, but 8 characters is not a good length. Neat if more symbols and longer length card could be generated.
Length of 8 and only a-Z plus numbers 0-9?
That could be cracked in an offline attack in minutes...

My ISP has taken total control of my network
That's unacceptable. I agree get a dumb modem from them and use your own Router/firewall/ access points

How do you work / mount with files stored on your Synology NAS on Ubuntu linux?
install the NFS client package.
Have a look at adding a line to the

What to do if you don't feel listened to at work?
Be confident and Get to the point first, don't build up with a lot of talking, hook them first to catch their ears and spit it out.
Example:
"We can save time and reduce mistakes if we keep the papers together in a box so we can find them and check them"
Vs
"What I'm thinking is we get a box, it doesn't have to be a big box, any size really and what we can do is like, put the papers in it, and we can all put the papers in it and that way, if we need to when we want to find them, we can look through and check to make sure that it's there and everything is right, that way we won't have as many errors and we won't have customers yelling at us that we forgot things"
Unfortunately, people have short attention span, they are busy multi tasking and don't have time for a long story.
At least that seems to help me. Sometimes you have to be dramatic or funny too.
Also, some people are just jerks and don't have enough respect for others

Hey there!, No need to take it personally. Thanks for the post, I happen to know what navidrome is and found this post helpful.
A tag would be helpful for others, not required but I think the feedback came from a good place.

NY bill would require a criminal history check for the purchase of a 3D printer
That's ridiculous and won't work.
Just have your friends 8 year old buy it. Problem solved.

Linux kernel Rust coding guidelines are heretic.
Agreed not tabs
8 spaces seems excessive.
4 spaces or even 2 would be my preference.
Disclaimer: lots of programming but no rust experience. Though, I don't think that matters.
