Someone in the linked Github thread describes an attack where the attackers waited for the victim to use their Yubikey for an AWS login, giving the attackers access to AWS as well. I don't think hardware 2FA is safe against a RAT.

I use `xrandr --setmonitor` to create a fake monitor that only covers part of my screen. And I have some window manager setup to easily move my windows there (with awesomewm).

Did a rough calculation, it would be more like Edinburgh.

There's easily a century between the earliest accurate map of Edinburgh and the earliest accurate map of the world. And even at present, the accuracy of maps of Edinburgh is much greater than the accuracy of maps of the world.

So yeah, the whole world could be next. But the person you're replying to has a point when they say significant improvements are needed.

I'm not gonna fight you on that.

> You don't need to be upset that this isn't for you.

The person you're responding to does not seem upset to me.

You add an interesting perspective that some people want to find encouragement in these types of essays. And the personal jab just isn't necessary.

I was trying to compliment you! When you talk about your friend, about what you might ask him, and what he might answer, I think you have insight there. I think that's valuable.

And I should have stopped there. But I went on to try to make a point about the quick mental model you proposed about "talking at" vs "talking with". Which I think leads to arguing about semantics (with others or yourself).

What you're saying about the difference between the distribution of behaviors and utterances sounds reasonable to me (if a bit abstract). I just think the specific insight into your friend's behavior is a lot more valuable.

> When I imagine asking him, "What don't you ask questions about my life?" I assume I'd get a response something like, "You can tell me anything," or "I'm open to hearing what you want to talk about," or "You're free to talk about anything."

I think this is the insight!

> If I had to devise a quick mental model, it might seem like the difference between talking at someone vs talking with someone?

(And I think this is semantics.)

sponge buffers the whole input before writing the output. Its utility would be in reading from a file, working on it with other tools, and writing the result back to the original file, all in one line.

Wait, what?

Another example of unique human intelligence: drown in existential dread.

I can do that, you can do that, but will a computer be able to do it?
