Nice. That is what I did, at first, as well.

One thing I discovered is that the vast majority of 2FA uses a shared open standard. I was able to cut way down on the count of 2FA apps I had to install, and just use Aegis for almost everything.

Aegis runs fine on GrapheneOS, too.

Great point about bank apps.

Thankfully I never got in the habit of tap to pay with my phone.

The amount of data that bank apps want to slurp up in the name of "security" makes me uncomfortable, anyway.

I just bank via web browser, today.

Nothing is perfect.

But every alternate Android ROM I have tried has given me a dramatic speed boost over what shipped with the phone.

I guess there are other definitions of "good", haha.

For me good==fast, and GrapheneOS is the most responsive phone OS I have used, and therefore the best.

As a fellow former CyanogenMod user, I run GrapheneOS. I like that it gives me the most control over my hardware, of any of the Android variants I have tried.

Edit: I buy phones specifically looking for GrapheneOS support, now. But for non-pixel phones, I have found LineageOS to be fine.

Yes. And then sign another authorization for each other topic - another for disposal of my property if I die, one for my funeral preferences, one to pick up my prescriptions, and hope I don't forget any.

Or, courthouse, one time, 15 minutes, and done.

A marriage license acts like a super convenient combination of othet legal documents.

The point, to me, is using the government to tell hospitals what to do. I don't want my parents making big decisions for me - I want the family I chose, my spouse, to do that.

Sure!

But I don't expect it to change much.

I could already do that, by hand as well.

It's a bit like how there's so many different superheroes who are obviously just off-brand SuperMan or off-brand Captain America.

Minor changes to avoid intellectual property law and branding has always been an option.

And I suppose all of these are easier now with the remixing slop-o-trons.

But they weren't terribly difficult, or particularly uncommon, even before.

Why learn Lua?

Lua is quite popular for writing games and mods forn games.

Also, and I can't emphasize enough how much this means to me, personally: it's not Java.

Great write up!

Of course, I never stopped editing my code in vi so I missed some of the editor frustrations.

I have shared that frustration, trying to find that balance.

I try to get some basic wisdom through to them to help prevent something horrible happening later, but I don't want to cause them pain now, either.

I have taken to asking them to take my hand in theirs, when I think they aren't listening.

The younger kid appreciates the connection. The older kid practices their active listening skills to make me leave them alone sooner.

Yeah, if you were white, cis, and hetero and healthy and born to comfortably well off parents.
