I have always loved old tech, since I was a kid. But never more than I loved the future of tech. Now it seems like old tech is gonna be the only way we save ourselves from new tech.
Will I someday trade my iPad Pro and WiFi hotspot for a 486 and dial-up, so I can communicate with people not inflicted with AI brain rot?

@brettm @cadusilva just use the same password everywhere and write it down on an easily accessible post-it note

@malasaur @cadusilva yeah loool
time to pick a new (!!!) password manager without AI involvement then

@mtconleyuk @cadusilva Were they to have done so in order to move to an alternative public repo instead (not you, GitLab); yes.
Were they to have... not done that; no.

@speaktrap@mastodon.com.pl @noodlejetski@masto.ai @cadusilva@bolha.one yep i do something similar, password hint file stored in a seperate user's home dir, normal user and any programs run by normal user can't read that dir
