We should stop obsessing over poll numbers. The next time Donald J. Trump faces the consequences of his actions, it will be the very first time. Until then, we need to accept the probability that he is cloaked so heavily in white privilege so as to 'fall up' for eternity.

Well this is interesting. Kellyann Conway’s husband has apparently had enough of Trump. https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5ab553bee4b0decad049d7e0?ncid=APPLENEWS00001 Trump’s support with his MAGA chuds may be steady but it looks like people around him have had enough.

Oh my loving god you sadbrains Trump can only touch 42% when the economy is humming along perfectly and people are getting their tax returns while also seeing a bit extra every 2 weeks in their paychecks because of the tax cuts. Meanwhile though that 42% is full of soft support which is polling as mostly unenthusiastically about voting, and the 55% disapproval is almost entirely strong disapproval with a very high enthusiasm to vote. Just look at every single special election where Dems are killing it above polling. Look at the Illinois primary which had a 300% increase in Dem voting and a 30% decrease in GOP voting. Look at the Texas primaries which saw the largest Dem turnout percentage since like 1992 gently caress

I am hopeful something may happen with the midterms, but honestly, rich white men are never sufficiently punished for their bullshit. See also: 2008 financial crisis. And also all of recorded history.

Also worth nothing that this high-water mark of approval ratings is still SUPER LOW. It's below Obama's in 2010 when the Tea Party Wave hosed him for the rest of his presidency.

He is a man who has never suffered consequences. Conversely, your response is basically 'show your map.' When Trump suffers A Consequence, I'll get on board. Otherwise

evilweasel posted:the main problem i have with this is that with regard to passwords i am expected to, on the internet, memorize a completely infeasible amount of passwords. any password for anything important needs to be unique or semi-unique because the way you get hacked is usually a password leak from one site rather than "Passw0rd" as a password these days, but that's just completely not doable. and two-factor authentication is mostly only done via text messages which is so useless it's more an extra vulnerability rather than extra security I worked at one of Australia's larger internet hosting companies... Their root server passwords were literally different iterations of p@$$wordxxx where x was the only thing that changed. Hacks from Russian IP addresses were a bi-weekly thing and nothing changed.  ----- Dog Tax quote:October 10, 1892

moostaffa posted:If you even know or could reproduce more than 3-4 of your passwords, you really need to get a password manager, go through every website and app that could even potentially have any sensitive data about you, and change them all to randomly generated passwords, saved in your password manager, which also should have a two-factor attached (Google Authenticator, Authy, or a physical key like https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/yubikey-neo/). You should also attach add an authenticator to any site that allows it. It's absolutely worth the minor hassle. You need to balance it against risk though. In many cases the lost time from dealing with randomly generated passwords so comically outweighs the risk and amount of time involved if your account got hacked that it just isn't worth it. So feel free to use the same memorable word + numbers for your water, power, and gas company logins. It is probably stored in plaintext on the server anyway. Email on the other hand should be locked down harder than Donald Trump sequesters information about his net worth. A compromised email is basically game over and can be used to rapidly compromise everything else.

Using a password generator is very easy and takes very little time or effort. Do not delude yourself into thinking that it isn't worth it: It's just not that hard to do. And frankly once it's working it's much easier than having to remember all your passwords and inevitably forgetting them and having to recover them. Beyond that, if you don't think that uncontrolled access to your utility billing information could be very damaging to you, then please consider that many companies and institutions will treat such bills as proof of address / identity.

Once you already have begun using a password manager, there is no reason not to go change the password of all sites you can remember ever using. It will only take you up to a couple of hours (mostly waiting for password reset emails) anyway. Half-assing it still leaves you vulnerable. If the site stores passwords in plaintext, it probably stores credit cards in plaintext too.

The problem I have with password managers is that you need to be able to install their software, right? I work during the day on a computer where I can't install anything, to the point where I have to use IE10 as my browser. Using the managers effectively means that I cannot log into social media during the day. Thats probably for the best, but I don't like it.

It is open source and available on all platforms. I use Dropbox to hold the encrypted index file and store a separate key file locally on each device. It takes the index file along with the key and the passphrase to open. I consider it highly secure.
