  • Bitwarden has a passkey service + a paid totp service, so I can always use either to log into whatever within two clicks. Yeah it’s less secure than a physical keychain but… Whatever, it’s better than passwords and as easy to use.

    In any case, if you atore the backup codes in a place where you can lose them, that’s on you. Upload them into somewhere you control that has good privacy laws.

    Yes. Conqueror. Yes.

    I don’t get if you are trying to be smug about it or whatever, but the “conquerors” were a specific warring campaign soldiers deployed to conquer the rest of america, specifically the Aztecs since those weren’t “easy” to convert to catholicism given that they already had a religion.

    You specifically said “conquistador” standards, which although it’s an Spanish word that translates to conqueror, makes reference to a specific group that wasn’t even formed when Columbus died.

    Anyway, yes he was bad but I don’t get why no fucking one mentions Hernan Cortez, who massacred waaay more people, and went with the intent to murder and dominate them from the very beginning.

    Minor edit: he wasn’t removed of his titles because he was bad/evil, the Spaniard crows didn’t care about the murder of natives. He was removed because he became a tyrant of anyone who lived in the Caribbean, be it native or setter.

    And according to Spanish history, Columbus wasn’t the one that did the enslaving. After settling and making a small base he returned with news and then the conquerors went for war, the most notorious figure being Hernan Cortez.

    It’s crazy the amount of Columbus hate I read on american websites and no mention of Cortez, who was way way worse.
