I’m on MBin. Your username is displayed as: walden. I can mouse over that to learn that your full username is @walden@sub.wetshaving.social.

This is the same thing as email domain names and display names. Yes, scammers still exploit that, too, but for the most part, people have gotten used to also looking at the actual full email address, and not just the display name or mailbox name. The same can happen here.

Still, I would much prefer if the default view here showed the full username and not just the display name.

Bad actors can afford $50 the same as good ones.

The difference between $0 and $50 isn’t really relevant.

LetsEncrypt is legit. A downside is that the certs expire after 90 days. However, that also carries an upside in that it limits the damage in case a certificate is compromised. There are procedures by which you can automatically renew/request (I forget whether they allow renewing an existing cert or require a brand new one) LE certs and apply them to your application, but that can be fiddly to configure.

If you’re not comfortable with configuring automatic certificate cycling, a long-term paid cert would be more appropriate.

Misused.

Me either. Good thing I don’t care!

Reality has a liberal bias.

Failed fact checks: none in the last five years

“Left biased.”

Exactly.

Ladder or steep stairs on the back side of the pole. You can kind of see a handhold railing there.

Perspective can be weird, this photo was obviously taken from a low angle based on the podium. I’m not saying it is the bullet that caught his ear, but I wouldn’t rule it out.

It’s also possible to have Windows log in as a specific user at boot, without user input. Regardless of operating system, your logged on session is in the context of some user account, whether you interactively log in or the system does it for you.

The PIN is stored locally on the machine only. It doesn’t get synced with anything anywhere. It’s actually much safer to use a PIN for authentication because it’s four digits that you (well, maybe not you) don’t have to write down, and the only time it works is on the physical machine. The user account password can be long and/or complex, but if you’re only ever authenticating at the keyboard, all you have to remember is the PIN.

Of course, dogs have many varied dialects, but these are the kinds of things I see dogs saying to each other:

• Butt sniff = “I am meeting you! Can I meet you?” This may receive a snarl and snap and bared teeth response, which usually means “I’m not comfortable around new dogs because I have dogtism, give me a minute.”
• Biting and snarling at another dog’s neck while the tail is wagging = “WE ARE PLAYING! THIS IS FUN!”
• Barking at dogs which are play biting at each other’s necks = “Are you okay? I think you’re okay, but I’m not sure, because I’m only a dog.”

Dogs also code switch between talking to other dogs and talking to humans. Furthermore, when dogs talk to humans, they generally tailor their vocabulary specifically to the people who they interact with most.

• Laying on the back or side and making a “face swipe” pantomime with one paw to their own face = “It is time to pet me.”
• Going straight to the front door and sitting at noon or 9PM = “It is time for my nap or bedtime. You will let me outside in front to go potty, after which I will eagerly run in, straight into my crate, and wait for my cookies.”
• Stopping and looking back at you after you let him out the back door = “Are you going to come out? I really want you to come out and play frisbee.”

Play bow. Dogs do this to each other, too, as a signal that they want to play.

What are these “people” to which you refer?

I am an adult, so of course I have.

I am amazed that little guy is capable of killing deer.

I’ll never stop complaining about Y axis that don’t start at zero.

If that means the change isn’t noticable, then the change isn’t noticable.
