best app to browse the two good parts of reddit: /r/chapotraphouse and the dog reddits

cth is good but the reddit is a loving reddit and therefore contractually obligated to be full of old memes and circlejerking

just disable that poo poo, it's in the options

problem is i want it if im idlin somewhere. it needs a hook into location data to check if im moving at literally any speed over the past minute to disable. i want to auto-connect to coffeeshop wifi but not so much break all network connections when i walk past the local community college on the way home.

also idk what im doing my fenix mobile data usage is consistently over a gig. i really wish it had a better "just preload literally loving all images and avatars for unread tweets over wifi" option--at present it's like "welp app's not open can't do poo poo" and "hmm despite a 1000 unread tweet list i'll only load images for the next hundred or so".

google's 2fa is getting stupid. add it to thunderbird and i get a call for the code (ok, i asked for it to do this because i had something get hosed up once when i had it send me texts), google pops up a little "did you get it yet?" box that steals focus from the text box as i'm typing it, sends an email to me and my old one that i gave it as a backup, and notifies my phone

only do the kind of 2fa that texts or emails you if you have no other choice

totp ("google authenticator" with the six digit codes) is good and works everywhere
u2f (one of these, generally requires usb) is the best but you can't use it on your phone and you gotta use chrome or firefox

more apps should use Microsoft authenticator so I can do push notifications instead of having to enter codes.

i don't remember the exact details because it was probably 3 years ago already but i was messing with my phone and text messages stopped working and i had to log in to verify it, and guess what, it needed the 2fa.

speaking of chrome apps, the hangouts chrome app manages to crash multiple times per day while just sitting idle. Im not sure how a browser window crashes.

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
