    Phones have this neat thing called a web browser that you can use to access your bank and if you can’t use a web browser to access it then honestly you should switch banks because that just shows that your bank doesn’t give a fuck about you and that you are the product because they have proprietary shitware on your phone



  • And every tool humanity creates can be used for both good and evil.

    You can use a hammer to build a house or you can use a hammer to kill somebody by hitting them over the head.

    A car can get you distances that would have taken a horse and buggy days, or it can be used to hurt people in crowds.

    Nuclear energy can be used to destroy a city or light hundreds of millions of homes for decades or centuries.

    There is no tool that is inherently good or inherently evil. The person wielding the tool is what determines how it is used.








  • This is exactly my reason for using it. I love the third-party apps, and I love that it’s not owned by some corporation. Another thing I like is the resilience. Your particular instance may be down, or if cloud flare is down, several instances could be down, but the entire network is not going to be down.




  • I store my keypass database on several flash drives in different physical locations and update them several times per year to make sure that even if I do lose the copy I have, the versions on the flash drives, not at my physical location, are decently up to date, and so if I do lose any of the password data, it will be only for a couple of months worth if that.

    If I add things that are extremely important, such as a new mortgage provider, or some sort of financial data into my keypass database, then I do an unscheduled immediate update to all of my flash drives in different physical locations to make sure that they all have that, but if it’s just a social media account, and I was to lose access to it, and not have the password for it, then… I wouldn’t be too upset about it.

    In the absolute worst possible case, I stand to lose 3 months worth of data. It’s not often that I have to tweak stuff in my password manager, so that would be very few changes.
