This raises the question whether feminist is the right word for those definitions. Humanist, maybe?

I’m not trying to “all lives matter” the situation – the history of the treatment of women warrants specific advocacy. But I think of a feminist as someone who (regardless of gender) is actively an advocate for change, not just someone who believes in equality.

That’s the connotation I have for the word anyway. Clearly UN Women are a more authoritative source, and they specifically use the word “belief,” so my connotation seems to be wrong.

Terrible security record?

Of the items listed in your link, only the second one seems problematic, in that I wish they had discovered the (non-password but still privacy related) issues first. Even that section acknowledges all of the issues are fixed. The only section that makes it sound like there is still a problem is the last one, which states that version X still contains the vulnerabilities, but in reality that’s just how versions work. Patching a vulnerability creates a new version.

Is there ANY record of passwords being leaked from 1password because of their own lack of security??

Almost by definition the stories in here should be pretty boring. Glad you had the awareness to keep yours boring.

I remember one time being on vacation when the battery in my toothbrush died and I didn’t have my charger. I had started to get up to go down to the shop in the hotel lobby, and then realized I’m an idiot.

Hey, just saying I am rooting for you. Not having a job sucks. Keep your head up. Best of luck to you.

Only the finest materiel goes in our trash.

It really depends on what you use your laptop for. My 2013 MBP lasted 9 years and was how I got my work done. That comes out to 76¢ per day, and I make a fair bit more than that per hour.

But if you’re looking for a personal computer to surf the internet, yes, that could be cost prohibitive. But then it also matters less what device you buy.

As for ports, I’ve never needed a dongle on the 2013 model. I did need one for a USB A drive on the newest model, but this little thing has solved that problem easily. I didn’t even have to buy that since my monitor has USB A ports – I was just too lazy to reach around the back to use it every time. I’m not sure I understand all the complaints about the occasional need for a dongle.
