Schlemmy , to Asklemmy in Are you registered to donate your organs? Why or why not?

By default in our country. You have to unregister if you don't want it.

Schlemmy , to Asklemmy in Lemmy Babies of the Rexodus - it's been 9 months, how has Lemmy changed you?

I'm still a bit confused about the instances and the political alignment of people on certain instances. I'm on Lemmy.ml but apparently people can be quite toxic on that instance.

Having to subscribe to the same subject on different instances feels a bit weird. I always wonder what I'm missing out on.

It also seems like we're missing some critical mass but I'm over Reddit, that's the bottom line.

Schlemmy , to Privacy in I'm deGoogling. What's my new Podcast app?

Thanks for the lolz. I needed that.

I get it. That's why I use Plus messenger. It's a better, more customisable UI. Private chats, groups and channels are on a different page, if you want it.

Unfortunately I use Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, Element (Matrix) and SimpleX all combined because my contacts are spread out. Looking forward to secure interoperability.

It's the best app when it comes to functionality. It has it all.

Schlemmy , to Asklemmy in Are you using passphrases? Is it worth it?

Thank God for GDPR. That would be impossible in the EU. ID's can only used in very specific cases that are detailed in the law.

Schlemmy , to Asklemmy in Are we all fucked?

It's true, but that makes it even more unsettling. Every petty crime gets blown up by media, every time something happens people start screaming that we need camera's and more cops on the streets. I used to work in the bar scene in our city twenty years ago. There were bar fights on a regular base. Now one bar fight in a year makes the national news.

Those government id based login methods are quite common and very secure. Belgium has a system that used your ID, your phone number and your phone to verify your login. A lot of EU banks have been using a OTP generated by a dedicated hardware that looks like a tiny calculator. The Netherlands has a dedicated app that is verified by your government id and that uses a qr to verify your identity.

You should indeed use a password manager to randomize the generated password phrases. Bitwarden adds capitals, numbers and other characters to the password phrases.

Bitwarden can generate password phrases. Some other password managers too. In the occasion you have to type out your password a password phrase is a lot easier.

Schlemmy , to Asklemmy in People not from the USA and have never visited: What is the smallest US city you know by name?

Pflugerville. My mother has lived there for a while. She moved back to Europe when she got pregnant.

Don't. Just don't. Ban this community or you're lost.

Schlemmy , to Asklemmy in What are some signs that someone's addicted to video games?

True, an addiction adds negative effects to the equation.
