Some middle-aged guy on the Internet. Seen a lot of it, occasionally regurgitating it, trying to be amusing and informative.
Lurked Digg until v4. Commented on Reddit (same username) until it went full Musk.
Was on kbin.social (dying/dead) and kbin.run (mysteriously vanished). Now here on fedia.io.
Really hoping he hasn’t brought the jinx with him.
Other Adjectives: Neurodivergent; Nerd; Broken; British; Ally; Leftish
Mostly no. Currently the only time I put it on is when I’m away from the computer for a length of time doing something quiet.
And I’d probably not even do so then if I had a tablet or smartphone to cue something up from the Internet instead.
(I’m basically stuck in the '90s here. Largely by choice, but money is a factor.)
Yes, you do still have to remember a handful of passwords, but remembering three or four is a much smaller burden than remembering upwards of 50 or 100. (This might seem excessive, but my password manager tells me I have at least that many.)
If that opens up brain space, make those three or four as long and complicated as possible.
String together things only you know and will always remember, but throw in a few random symbols to make the job harder if you accidentally let any of the regular facts and figures slip.

Edit to be an unpaid shill for say I’m a happy user of Password Safe, too: https://www.pwsafe.org/
Too expensive. No government would use a cyborg when a bullet or even “re-education” will suffice.
I mean, I know the rich and powerful love AI, but not to that degree. They’d put the cyborgs in charge of firing the bullets and running the "school"s instead.
I can’t imagine I’m the first to ever say this: Those who say they do not poop are full of it.
That’s the thing. Your memory only works one way. You’re incapable of perceiving time running in the opposite direction.
Every time you’ve pooped both in the past and the future*, it’s both going in and coming out, entirely dependent on the frame of reference.
*Yes, I did just refer to the future in the past tense. Because if time’s running backwards to how we perceive it, that’s actually the past.
The only way to win this game is not to poop. And good luck with that.
This may be a fleeting fancy, but at time of writing: «Merde»
Hello. As a former consumer of cheese, yes.
If it helps, think of it as a very unique form of cocoa-free chocolate, or better, a solid form of yoghurt.
(I developed a dairy intolerance a decade ago. I miss cheese.)
I happen to have first.middle.last@acertainfreehost that I use for government things. I wanted first.last, but there are a few of “me” out there and one of them beat me to it.
Which is partly to say that you might find that now you’ve posted your ideas here that someone has taken them all before you, so I hope you didn’t use your real name. And I still feel sorry for ol’ Dennis if you didn’t.
One alternative might be to get your own domain name. Plenty of hosting companies will do a domain and mail forwarding if not some tier of hosting for cheap. Many give a handful of accounts in the base price. (Though it should be noted that it’s a well-known money grab because it’s usually very simple to have <anything>@domain go to one mailbox for collection and sorting elsewhere. Storage management does not have to be at the mailbox level either.)
