That's good to know, thank you!

Thank you, I'll check that!

If your password manager gets compromised, sure, but if someone gets access to a website's database with password hashes, the 2fa is a pretty big part that they're missing.

Twilio indeed! I also have Digital Ocean and SendGrid on my own list, which are written by developers for developers.

I was about to switch in a couple of weeks, until I read your comment.

How would encrypted emails work in a client like Thunderbird? Would it normally be handled correctly if POP/IMAP was available?

I use Ruby on Rails professionally and personally, and it addresses most of your features very easily (with Devise being a popular auth system that can be added).

Ruby follows duck-typing, so variables are not typed. If that was a strong point for you, Ruby might not be what you need.

I'm not quite sure about the admin UI (I usually use the rails console when I have things to change), though, but there's probably a gem that does exactly that (?).

Ruby on Rails is very powerful and intuitive, and I'll miss it if/when I change jobs and have to use some other language.

Edit:

> [...] so variables are not typed.

I might have used the wrong words... Ruby is dynamic, strongly typed. Variables are not limited to a certain type after they are created, and can change anytime.

But wouldn't that mean that you and your SO would inherit these debts when she dies, and there's nothing you can do about this? That's truly awful :(.

There are so many apps that I can't uninstall on my Galaxy S3... That alone makes me want to have something else.

Also, I use google's keyboard, but once in a while, samsung puts back theirs (after an update or whatever), and it infuriates me.

Samsung _does_ get in my way, but it's possible it's because I have an old phone and the newer ones are better at this.

I love "The Five Love Languages". It helped me understand why my past relationships had failed, that neither them nor me were at fault. We just didn't speak the other's language.

I have a Galaxy S3, and it was rebooting randomly more and more often. At the time, I lived in an apartment. I bought a house earlier this year, and to my knowledge (and memory) this hasn't happened again since.

What you said reminded me of this, because I had forgotten this infuriating rebooting. I wonder if this was related to the building or something else? This is weird.

Honest question: why wouldn't they just get up earlier, instead of implementing a system that affects everyone?

The fuss is about the data sent to Facebook's servers for "identification". You can make the decision to post it or not, but Facebook knows it in either case.
