She’s emotionally supporting me over the internet, which demonstrates great skill.

Windows philosophy is that it comes pre-installed and should be used with recent hardware. You may think of that what you will (environment wise etc), but to me that’s a valid design choice to make, in principle.

What do you mean? Of course I can count to two!

Very demure.

It could be worse. You could be one of the knights who say: Ni.

One thing I don’t understand yet is what kind of appeal system is intended on Lemmy if one doesn’t want to resort to ban evasion.

Do DMs to instance admins still go through?

I’ll have to think of a scheme to extort some rich guy’s Bitcoin wallet.

Mangos for scale

It’s not really “the only way”. A similar problem to think about would be: what if your primary email account got compromised?

It makes sense to set up alternative means for recovering any account (or changing the associated email address), for example via second mail address, phone number, one-time-passwords, snail mail or similar. Many account providers use a recovery question system - here, I’d suggest using irregular answers, e.g. for “what is your favorite colour”, I would’t use a colour at all to make it harder to guess.

Compartmentalizing would be another approach: use different providers in a mix so that when one goes the way of the dodo, parts of your registered accounts remain useable. Ideally, for “critical” stuff like bank accounts, you’d split them up between different email addresses. But then again, for this kind of account, I’d really expect the bank to provide some other ways of backup access/restoration.

Terrain. Terrain. PULL. UP!

Edit: Okay who downvoted this, someone upset that I’m unapologetically Agender?

Not the downvoter. If I had to guess, maybe they had strong feelings against

• presenting your personals before the point (as in off-topic/look at me)
• pushing the agender agenda
• emoji usage on Lemmy
• they just hate LGBTQA people, who knows

People will downvote and block nowadays rather than give feedback and discuss. Probably also an effect of information overdosing on the Internet.

He could be doing it purely on a power dynamic /c
