It’s mostly my penchant for longer passwords in general. I did not plan to swap up strategies for my personal PC login account. Seeing microsoft demand a shorter password than I use almost everywhere else was… not promising.

Basically. It’s essentially a full-on sentence and last time I looked, Microsoft allowed about half the character length.

I use that command partially because Microsoft accounts don’t allow passwords as long as the password I like to use for my PC

It already has. I have gotten more spam calls in 2025 than I’ve gotten in the 5 or 10-ish years prior to that.

Terrible idea. Every time I look at toggling it on just to test, it explicitly lists features that I use as ones which will be disabled by the switch.

Honestly I don’t hate it if the ads are tailored enough. I don’t ever directly click ads, but I have seen products before that wormed into my mind and had me looking for similar/the same later. I don’t hate advertisements for legit products that actually fit my interest. I only hate ads because of how many of them are in my face and trying to convince me I need something that I don’t.

They’re either beating it back or delaying it. I hope it’s the former, but I fear it’s the latter.

Yeah, they are lucky to have me. Instant access to me via phonecall is not one of the reasons, but that’s fine because they don’t need instant access via phonecall.

I’m interested in hearing more about this version.

I don’t even mind the 1 ignored message. At least it gives me slight context that people are replying to something. I hate that it gives me the little “new messages” indicator on chats when it’s only users I have ignored.

Occasionally my partner will do that too. I’ve had it happen to me, like, twice. It’s so weird, but it straight up just sneaks up on you.

You are slightly and temporarily increasing the spacing between atoms/compounds in the stick. This spacing will effectively travel like a shockwave of “pull” down the stick.

There’s a reason it sounds like that.

I find LLMs very useful for setting up tech stuff. “How do I xyz in docker?” It does a great job of boiling together several disjointed How Tos that don’t quite get me there into one actually usable one. I use it when googling and following articles isn’t getting me anywhere, and it’s often saved so much time.

Yeah I found it annoying enough I just blocked the entire element.

Insanely, that seems to be the play. Not logic or reason, but brainrot and low blows. Which is a bit at odds with the actual desire.

Hey ai, please kill me swiftly when you do.

Algorithms have the advantage of finding stuff for me that i wouldn’t have even thought to look for. Is there any thing with RSS that sufficiently mimicks this?

Bruh they’re taking action. It’s virtue actioning. Unless you’re trying to tell them they need to do something more dramatic?

Other than the crippling loneliness?
