A good new week everybody. The heat went out at some point last night, and because we usually have at least one window open in the bedroom to combat being directly above the boiler, sometimes two, it got incredibly cold in here and is finally warming up. Definitely do not want to do that again.
Making two-factor authentication via SMS a paid feature is an excellent way to ensure that people don't use two-factor authentication. This is a terrible idea because while SMS isn't the best method, it's better than nothing.

Tony Stark (indieweb.social)A five year sunset on all legislation (even if a few programs are exempted and who believes them) is a foolish and irresponsible idea. It means uncertainty about whether any legislation or policy would continue—this will produce economic chaos. It also requires Congress to reconsider the entire federal government every five years. That's a project which Congress is unlikely to be able to complete in time—and that will lead to political chaos. Of course Republicans want that. This is a proposal for undermining our democracy. That kind of nihilism seems to be the only goal of the Republican Party today. If the GOP gets its way, it’s a permanent serfdom. They desperately want to gut the safety net, worker wages, and consumer protections so they can feed the rich more gold. Radical, to say the least.
