I would say anytime where someone can impersonate you or make purchases as you deserves MFA. That’s my risk tolerance, but it can differ obviously. I just feel that threshold is too low for a lot of people.

Yes, I can’t defend dog shit implementation. There are enough authenticator apps available that anyone reputable should use one instead of the less secure email or SMS.
Every time I read comments on posts like these, it reaffirms to me how the average person does not give a shit about real security or is completely ignorant to how and why these extra safeguards are used. Lemmy, I would assume, has a higher than average tech knowledge amongst it’s user base vs many other platforms, but the sentiment often that of, MFA and needing to login to a bunch of separate applications is too much work and the people that designed them don’t know what they’re doing. It’s a bit disheartening.

I’ve learned some Spanish and French, conversational in neither, but I know enough to understand how the languages are constructed and I have a decent enough vocab to feel like I’ve experienced the languages. French is just as dumb as English and worse in some places and Spanish is definitely an easier language to learn and construct sentences in.

It took me 7 years to get a 2 year degree. I work with one of my best friends who got his masters in that same time. We’re both successful and excell at what we do. It does suck that you have to wait to be done, but one silver lining is you may have a better job market since you won’t be graduating with the vast majority of college students competing for the same spots.

Going to hard disagree, which makes this a solid post. Season 2 was good TV imo, but the writing was so bad. I was hyped for the cast and I think they did great with what they were given, but it just was somehow broken to me. I was never fully hooked, but still enjoyed.
I think the order of best to worst is 1, 3, 4, 2.
