Actually, I think that one at least has some history to it.

The disk drive was one of the first ways to store information between computer sessions as the first computers didn’t have built in storage. You would create a program, run it, and then when you shut the computer off it was gone. Since the disk drive was used to store programs for later, or “save” them, the icon was born from the physical object.

Sharing, conversely, doesn’t really have a real world example to base the icon on. Maybe two hands exchanging things? Perhaps two arrows to illustrate the ability for things to go both ways? Maybe a set of interconnected dots to show the connection between things? Any of them could work, so the iconography is less clear.

Awesome, that game was quite fun in early access. I’ll have to install it again.

I disagree with the part where a single person gets to decide to follow a law or not because it opens up the other side doing the same thing.

That same gender affirming care could be through the post, in which case someone who disagrees could just not deliver it.

The law needs to apply evenly or what is a loophole to one is shenanigans to the other.

But people always judge them as slow because they only see them on land. Sometimes you just gotta find your place in the world to really excel.

Now hold on mate, just listing facts is not the same as an endorsement of a conclusion. The same can be said about NOT listing facts. All the information available should be presented to allow for informed opinions.

The longest journeys all start with the first step.

I’m all for removing gender as the first dividing line, but there needs to be some divisions in place.

As an example, in martial sports they are often separated by weight class to balance the fact that a larger, heavier person would have an advantage over a smaller, lighter person.

Without that, basketball would be dominated by the tallest people only, but that means there is no reason for anyone who isn’t tall to even play the game. Break it into height classes and suddenly you meet have a league of skilled, average height players that could be very compelling to watch.

I can’t do silence, my thoughts are too loud. Rain sounds work well for me.

Usually age has the opposite effect, but I hear they make pills for that.

See, now I’m interested!

I think there’s a fun bit of linguistics there. If you say more unpopular it implies that both are unpopular and one is even more so. If you say less popular, it implies that they are both popular, but one is to a lesser degree.

But then how will they upcharge you for additional storage or push you to their monthly cloud storage solution?

“Get a job, n-!”

Working on me right now. It’s hard to see value in myself, so it’s impossible to understand why someone else would either. When I’ve learned to love myself, I’m sure it will be easier to see why someone else would too.

Mate, I’ve had users who were sharing an account that only some of them had MFA prompts for. They didn’t bother checking who had initiated the prompt, they just approved it because it was easier. And that was while they were fully awake and thinking…

Ba ba, ba bah ba, ba ba, ba ba, bah bah…

To set a scene, you awake in the middle of the night because your phone is making noise. Blearily you unlock it, glance at a prompt, and then approve a login and fall back asleep. The intruder now has access to your password manager!

They attempt to log into your bank and drain your life savings, but despite having your password it sends another prompt to your phone. This time, you wake up enough to realize something is wrong. This time, you deny the prompt.

The entire second paragraph cannot happen if your MFA is a single factor. Don’t store MFA in your password manager!

“Hey, great job with that advocacy, or whatever. We weren’t really listening, but it was probably great though.”

Thor from Pirate Software has a great video breaking down how Steam works and the lawsuit that claims they are ripping off consumers. It’s very educational.

Of course, there is no requirement to use Steam. Game makes can publish their game themselves without a platform at all, which very few do. If you say they actually need a platform, there is the value they are getting for that 30%. If they weren’t getting anything of value, then they could do it themselves and benefit instead, which most do not.
