Yeah, I also had a beautiful moment trying to use Google's find my phone feature in another country when I didn't know my password. Used "password123" after that near nightmare.

Security works best when it's really easy to get into my account even though I don't remember my credentials.

No the best system is if you try to find your phone without having your phone, a cybernetic lifeform should track you down and rip your spine out for trying to find your phone. Then some dipshit on the Internet without a shred of humanity can feel smugly superior about it

Fuck right off, buddy. You confessed to making dumb security choices on the internet and got mocked for it, yeah. This has nothing to do with "oh the humanity!"

You admitted to being a huge asshole so you get a response reflecting that and now you're crying about it

Someone made you the butt of a joke on the internet. Please get over it and don't go shoot up your school.

You're overreacting a tiny bit, maybe?

[–] Technoworcester@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Regarding you? I think they've been quite restrained.

[–] hdnsmbt@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, they're a true hero for throwing insults over a joke. You as well, for being huffy on their behalf.

I envy the people who havent met you

And I don't see what I did to deserve this kind of abuse. In your own words, what did I do? Did I piss on someone's rug or anything? What the fuck is wrong with you? You know nothing about me outside of one internet comment exchange and you think the most vile insults are warranted. What is your problem? You weren't even involved. Fuck off.
