I’d imagine that - similar to the oil and infrastructure targets they’re also hitting in the last 6mo - it has taken awhile to get the technology and personnel into locations where they could actually hit them.

Russia is a big country, which means that getting in far enough to hit the “good stuff” isn’t easy, but it also means that protecting it all now that Ukraine has made inroads is also going to be difficult.

Works fine with acme certs though

The apps keep a synced local copy, so if the server is down or unreachable you can still get to your passwords. That can also be locked by biometrics etc.

There’s a lot of stuff that without be lost by going to just the web interface

This seems to be clients for the end devices, which I’m worried may actually be a move towards locking out VaultWarden which will uses the BW Clients

Destroying what (appearance of) democracy they had as well

There are a few episodes where various people mention putting a lot of time and wish into building holodeck sims. I’m guessing it’s more like having a futuristic version of Unity/UnrealE/etc, with a common asset pool and an AI assisted interface

Assuming age ID wasn’t invasive and stupid to begin with, there could be other ways to set it that would be much less invasive for many devices, such as setting an “IS_ADULT” flag on devices (or even an associated account) at the time of registration.

“Hey Mr Smith, it looks like you’ve never registered a device on our phone network before but you’ve got a driver’s license from 1979 so we’ll just set the age code on your account aaaand, done”.

Then you get a sheet of random scratch-off AV codes pulled from a drawer that you can use on other shit, similar to how VPN providers do to separate payment vs login. Nothing should ever say who you are or even your age, just “hey this person is old enough, fuck off and let them at it”.

It’s still annoying, but less privacy invasive. And it’ll never fly because what they really want is to tie all communication back to a person not just an age.

They don’t give a shit about any of that they just say “jump” and expect people to do something in response

Or if just looking for a solution too music, Finamp is pretty good as well

People can be great in some ways yet fallible or bad in others, particularly when looked at through the lense of time.

Follies and achievements should often be looked at with the perspective that we’ve had the opportunity to learn a lot from both.

“I have usernames older than you” is actually a pretty sick burn
