I'm kinda tired of hearing bs like “if only linux was good enough”.
It is. You just have to install and use it.
It's just a quote from the article, but good to know.
Cara has no passwords: you log in via Google or Apple
uhuh, no thanks
That's exactly the point: get a cheap new phone number, preferrably one that doesn't link back to your identity. And it's typically an online service, otherwise it's not gonna be cheap or private (in my country anyway).
I'd do the opposite from what OP wants: a second line for online platforms.
I don't think avoiding your potential employer seeing you reposting something like fuckworkmemes is taking privacy too far 😉
Yes, but I wouldn't like them to find my profile on one of the social networks that require a phone number. I might've said something not so nice about my current job, you know.
Some developers prefer using half-baked regexes from stackoverflow, rather than reputable libraries for email address validation.
I wonder if it applies to routers made by a company who likes collecting user data. Because this is a situation many people are in.
2 factor came into our life because people were using same passwords everywhere. With unique passwords, which are easy with password managers, it's rarely needed.
Wait until your workplace requires you to only use MS Authenticator push notifications 😭 and HOTP occasionally…
It's a separate app with no sync to Bitwarden accounts.
Just like in the password manager, they ignored HOTP. Oh well.
I'll just mention that 1TB Nextcloud (supports encryption) at Hetzner is €5/month, and background upload works. It also has tons of features, not just files.
I was under impression that the big issue would be adoption. Like my bank supports only Google Pay and Samsung Pay, but definitely not a “FOSS Pay”.
I feel the same about Dune. Heck, not a fan of Jurassic Park, but I'd rather watch it than Dune.
I'm a contractor. They give me work and money, I give them result. I use what works best, and it's a linux distro.
After years of actively making it work in Thunderbird, I ended up using a browser tab. It's more reliable, gives you access to settings such as filters, and it's easy to close after work with all the other tabs in my “work” browser.
Cyclists should have safe infrastructure instead of riding with vehicle traffic. Don't try to shift the responsibility.
I'm saying that as an experienced cyclist as well.
New research suggests more newcomers to Canada have chosen to leave in recent years, a threat to a country that relies on immigration to drive population and economic growth.
New research suggests more newcomers to Canada have chosen to leave in recent years, a threat to a country that relies on immigration to drive population and economic growth.
The rate of immigrants leaving the country, or onward migration, has been steadily increasing since the 1980s and is rising among recent cohorts, suggesting newcomers “may not be seeing the benefits of moving to Canada,” according to a study on immigrant retention by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship and the Conference Board of Canada.
The report, published Tuesday, underscored the risks of Canada failing to meet expectations of newcomers, who are facing worsening housing affordability, a strained health-care system and underemployment, among other issues. It also highlighted how disillusionment among immigrants can slow down progress even in a country that consistently sets fresh records for population gains.
“It’s a reflection on our broader society and more intractable failings that we have. If immigrants are saying ‘no, thanks’ and moving on, that’s a real existential threat to Canada’s prosperity,” Daniel Bernhard, chief executive officer of the Institute for Canadian Citizenship, a pro-immigration advocacy group, said in an interview. “We need to wake up and recognize that if we don’t deliver, people will leave. And if they leave, we’re in trouble.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has been using immigration to rapidly add more workers to stave off economic decline from an aging populace. But record population growth in recent years has led to growing criticism that its policies have exacerbated existing housing shortages and added more pressure on infrastructure and services like health care.
The report showed spikes in the annual rates of immigrants leaving Canada in 2017 and 2019, reaching 20-year highs of 1.1 per cent and 1.18 per cent, respectively. That’s compared to the average of 0.9 per cent of people who were granted permanent residence after 1982 who leave Canada each year. While the numbers may not sound significant, they add up over time and can lead to attrition of 20 per cent or more of an arrival cohort over 25 years.
Earlier this week, a survey by Environics Institute showed waning public support for high levels of immigration due to concerns of housing affordability and availability. That dwindling support, combined with growing dissatisfaction among newcomers, will be a fresh challenge for a government that’s trying to placate an outcry over an affordability crisis while competing in a global race for skilled workers.
The lack of enthusiasm for staying in Canada, which led to onward migration by some newcomers, is also behind a sharp drop in immigrants choosing to become Canadians, according to Bernhard. The proportion of permanent residents who took up citizenship within 10 years of arrival dropped by 40 per cent between 2001 and 2021.
“If Canada can’t reverse these issues and can’t provide these vital services and affordability, immigrants will leave,” Bernhard said. “We need to be working harder to make sure that they’re happy here, so that they contribute here, become Canadians and contribute to our shared success. We need to realize that on balance, immigrants may owe Canada less than Canada owes immigrants.”
