I think of them as on the same spectrum.

A thin skinned person, is someone when you stab verbally or try to otherwise harm them in a non-physical manner, it goes straight through, and they are hurt by it. It affects their confidence, behaviour and health.

A thick skinned person, is someone you can insult, and they can dismiss the meaning of the words, and be unaffected by the intended harm.

But that is not mutually exclusive with going “wtf, did you just try to stab me?”. They are opposites, in the sense that the word describes whether malicious words or actions can “pass through” and have the intended effect.

But if someone tries to shoot me, and I’m wearing armor that means it won’t kill me, that still leaves the fact that they tried to shoot me. That I was able to survive it does not make the attempt on my life ok. Being thick skinned, or “wearing armor”, doesn’t mean you react to attacks with inaction.

It describes whether you suffer harm when under fire. Not how you behave in reaction to it.

A lot of people think of being thick skinned as synonymous with turning the other cheek. But being able to take BS doesn’t mean you have to passively allow it.

You don’t sound thin skinned.

Having a thick skin doesn’t mean being unbothered by people trying to walk over you, and thereby letting them.

I get accused of being thinskinned sometimes because of starting a confrontation over a problem or behaviour I’ve noticed, but that makes no sense. Being sensitive to issues is not a weakness, and being numb to them is certainly not a strength.

I can push for change precisely because I’m unbothered by the stress of working against the status quo.

But like others said, you don’t always need to convince. If you say you won’t cover a task because it’s not your responsibility, then there is nothing to discuss. If they expect a task to be done even when you said it won’t, that is not your problem.

It’s theirs.

No?

I get that clients might break, but the web portal running inside vaultwarden isn’t gonna suddenly stop working.

Vaultwarden itself is self-contained. An API change won’t do anything to it.

Uh… What does the “off” button do? As opposed to mute+leave?

My moms password manager, is just my password manager. (That’s not entirely true, she did figure it out eventually, but for a while there I was simply saving all her account passwords in my manager.)

AFAIK there is no Switch 2 version? It’s just running it as a switch 1 game.

Guessing it helped that it’s not a Switch 2 exclusive.

Except that “fake” voting patterns become impossible to spot.

The way they are now, you can look at how an account votes, when it was created, as well as their posts and comments, to determine whether an account is a legitimate user.

Creating fake accounts that look like legit users is a lot of work. Creating just one, then setting a number a really high, is much, much easier.

This is going to be new trend, isn’t it.

Oh that series you like? Last episode, only in theathers. Pay up.

Where does cringe go?

Then they shouldn’t call it that.

The word has a definition, and quack science explanation that defines the “field”.

“Chiropractors” who provide proper care aren’t exactly being honest, either. They don’t call themselves that because it’s simpler. They do it because it’s illegal for them to claim to be medical professionals.

That sound exactly the same, actually.

How are they regulated? Because if they aren’t, then you don’t really know what you’re getting.

“Good” chiropractors will stick to the same treatments that actual medical professionals would prescribe, and hence produce results at times. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s not a protected term that brings with it some kind of license or education.

As such, no-one who takes doing things right seriously goes by it. To people who science, the term sits right next to homeopathy, and will never be associated with serious medical care.

1. On android, the setting is in Settings>Security>More Security

2. Yes

3. The fact that it can only be attempted three times, after which a much longer PUK code you from your service provider must be used to restore funtionality to the SIM. It also has limited attempts, after which the SIM is locked forever.

Not sure how that works cryptographically, or how robust a physical SIM is against tampering.

I’ve always used a PIN.

I did not know eSIM is stored outside the normal data partition and survuves factory resets. That doesn’t feel right.

Edit: huh, my eSIM had a default pin set which I had to provide to set one.

The setting is in Security, not SIM card info.

Sure it will. In many ways it already has.

It’s slow going, but you can absolutely take control. Not everyone can afford it right now, but the sweet thing is… Once you do, it pays for itself.

Because getting rid of a layer of exploitation makes things cheaper and more efficient. Corruption can’t compete except through fragile control mechanisms which ARE cracking.

eeee

That’s good.

But there is definitely a cultural difference as well.

That said, it’s not like everyone in the west online is nice, but in western culture it has gotten MUCH better.

It wasn’t too long ago that every english speaking person in a video game chat was absolutely horrible. But today I encounter much more people online genuinely trying to be nice a constructive. Especially in games from studios that care.

And you can leave a negative review, and still be respectful. That isn’t what the majority are doing.

I hope that improves. China has a lack of truly wholesome devs that are also as successful as some western indies. Instead it is a hellscape of companies arguably worse than EA, Activision and Ubisoft.

I don’t know about you, but at least in my circle, being “sick and tired of this shit” is becoming extremely normal.

People hate Windows. They hate how apps become more complicated, not simpler. They hate how everything is becoming a subscription. They hate how keeping their files safe is a giant clusterfuck of managing half a dozen cloud services constantly sucking up every file from every one of their devices. They hate how TVs aren’t just fucking TVs anymore. They hate how their toaster, oven, dishwasher, and coffee maker needs wifi. They hate how all their favorite things are fragmeneted across a dozen streaming services again. They hate how work involves figuring out a dozen chat apps plus email, a dozen file processing programs, and how all their names and icons keep changing and their prices keep increasing. They hate how remembering up to a hundred account password is an absolutely catastrophy. They hate how their purchases don’t last. They hate how “no” doesn’t exist anymore in marketing…

I could go on.

Speak to literally anyone, and they’ve DEFINITELY picked up on at least some part of this, and it has them absolutely livid about how unfair it is.

Answer: Chinas gaming culture is toxic, and does not differentiate between indie and corporate pay-to-win live service bullshit. They are used to going straight to review bombs as the only way to make a point to developers.
