Being social is pretty similar to exercising. When you first try to do it after a while, it’s usually painful and not enjoyable. It isn’t until practicing and keeping at it that it will get easier and you can actually feel the benefits. Finding someone that you can actually share your hobbies with can go a long way, especially if they are able to give some sort of input as well that is beneficial to what you’re working on.

Yea, being able to and actually doing so are very different. Reading is the barrier to entry for most everything. Time and energy are the missing resources, though. I am a tech enthusiast, and I struggle to find time to do all the things I want.
Yea, telegram being advertised as a privacy messenger is a joke. If people want to have group chats like in discord and don’t care about privacy, whatever. But to try and flaunt how privacy focused you are while using your own home-brewed encryption is a joke. Not to mention the fact you have to turn it on for every chat you want end to end encrypted.
The whole thing about not giving out data is really only accomplished by spreading user data across several countries. So you would have to get a search warrant from every country to get the data, relying on some countries not wanting to cooperate with other countries. That is not real security. Real security would be encrypting it so you literally couldn’t give them the data, even if they had a search warrant. Ya know, like signal.
- A password managed is basically like a physical vault. If someone gets into a physical vault, they’ve gained access to all your valuable items, but the vault is extremely difficult to get into.
- Random websites do not prioritize security like they should. So when there is inevitably a breach in one of those 50 sites and you end up on haveibeenpwned.com, that does not allow them access to the other 49 sites. Often when logins are breached, the people getting that information do not care about the actual site that was breached. Rather, they know a password you use and your email, and can now try to login to actually useful sites where people often use the same login.
- There should be multiple layers of security to your password manager. Password and Authenticator app should be basic (No SMS or Email 2FA, not secure enough). Ideally, we move towards passwordless logins altogether so there is no secret that can be compromised on the server side.
Why keepass and not Bitwarden? Wouldn’t bitwarden be more user friendly for trying to ease people into secure technologies?

Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea?3·16 days agoI hate the tariffs (and everything else about the orange man), I think they’re a terrible idea. But you’re absolutely right.
Especially right now, Lemmy is an extreme echo chamber. I agree with most of the things being echoed, which is why I’m here, but I also recognize it’s pretty bad.
Your questions was entirely reasonable, and well stated, and a lot of people are just being dismissive, insulting, or saying “just because”. And truth be told, the answer really is a complex one, and would require an actual professional to give a good response.
Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I decrease acne after shaving my face?8·18 days agoUsing hot water beforehand was what caused my irritation. I had a dermatologist recommend using a tri-head electric razor before showering with a dry face. I bought one for $50 a few years back and it’s been a night and day difference for me. I used to get pretty bad skin irritation, despite doing all the suggested things. It’s not as close of a shave, but my skin is a lot healthier. I’ve seen some people say they’ve benefited from only using cold water when shaving, but dry shaving has been the best route for me.
Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I decrease acne after shaving my face?2·18 days agoYour problem is likely washing your face before shaving, especially if you’re using warm/hot water.
This was a big problem for me as well. My problem was the fact that my face was wet while shaving or was washed before hand, which caused a lot of dryness and irritation. I was recommended to use an electric Philips Norelco tri-head razor, and use it BEFORE showering while my face was completely dry. After showering, your face is too dry from the heat. The shave isn’t as close with the electric as it is with a regular razor, but it’s pretty close and I no longer battle with the acne from shaving, which is well worth the tradeoff.
Regardless, it may be good to see a dermatologist anyway, but that’s what worked for me and was recommended by a dermatologist.
Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?1·1 month agoYes, they used to, and still do, do next day delivery depending on the item and where you live. It is certainly not the norm. That forum post is also not the evidence you think it is.
Regardless, you said when Amazon started it was next day delivery. That is simply not true. Perhaps you were talking about when Amazon was first available in your area it had next day deliver, which would be fair, but it’s not when it started.
Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?3·1 month agoAgain, idk what you’re talking about. You keep saying people are “sleeping” on these other companies. That generally means you think something is underappreciated, and you want them to get the credit they deserve. I don’t think that’s what you’re saying here though, it seems like you’re saying we aren’t giving them enough negative attention.
I already said we don’t like other mega-corps, and literally specified Walmart. This post simply is about Amazon. Otherwise, I would’ve posted this article instead https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Walmart
Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?1·1 month agoI see, I misunderstood your comment saying “I guess the experience of Ebay in the US is completely different from the experience of Ebay outside the US.” was you saying your experience is from within the US. You didn’t specify which one was your experience, nor did the person you replied to. I was thinking your experience was from within the US, and theirs was from outside the US.
Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?1·1 month agoMy experience with eBay in the US is also, more often than not, with free shipping. I’m not sure what items you’re looking at but there are tons of options with free shipping
Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?2·1 month agoWalmart is, unfortunately, not better.
Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?1·1 month agoIdk, Aliexpress has plenty of the nonsensical names still. At least on the product listing, often the name isn’t bothered to be put on the product itself. However, for American’s Trump is wanting to handicap the de minimis for China.
Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?101·1 month agoIdk what you’re talking about, honestly. But I don’t think anyone here is advocating you go from Amazon to another mega corp like Walmart or Target. But as far as problems with Amazon, take your pick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Amazon
Bazoogle@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?8·1 month agoWhat are you talking about? Amazon started as an online book store in 1994. They were not doing next day delivery, that’s for sure. Amazon had a big push for “Prime 2 day delivery” for a long time, but from my anecdotal experience it’s more than often longer than two days. Sometimes they offer one or two day shipping, but it’s not the norm.
And if anyone magically finds them, they’ll dismiss it as a crazy conspiracy
What security issues? If you mean potential security vulnerabilities researcher found that they’ve patched, I don’t understand how that would be different from Keepass and their previous security vulnerabilities. Bitwarden has never had a security issues historically that I know of. Lastpass, on the other hand…
I also really don’t get these two. They seem to contradict each other.
I usually recommend bitwarden, where they can use the browser extension and mobile phone app. It gives them autofill features on all their sites. Getting someone to change their passwords and use a password manager is already difficult enough. Giving them the most convenient option is going to make it more like they stick with it.
