Wait people that think a scrambled number pad is appropriate allow you to use your fingerprint?
A hacker demonstrated at a CCC congress how he got the fingerprint of the German defense minister with a digital camera.

Fingerprints are pretty much public information lol

My router actually has 4 brightness options for the LEDs with one of them being "off". I wish more manufacturers would think about stuff like this.

It showed let's say 12 o'clock when they arrived at 11 o'clock meaning they must have been there for 23 hours.
The tickets are not written up by robots but by someone checking the time on the parking disc.

Sometimes people manually set their parking discs a bit forward so that they have a bit more time but if they get checked in that time frame the ticket is even more expensive than if they overstayed an hour.

Busking is not begging though and they don't advertise or try to sell you cds. If you give them money they'll appreciate it but they won't harass you if you don't (well there is always bad eggs but they aren't the majority).

There was an old guy playing violin all year even when it was super cold and I walked past him everyday and gave him some money. Not because he asked but because I wanted to. He was always appreciative and we both had a pleasurable experience.

I believe you can separate your business and private contributions by having an onlyfans link in your bio but not directly advertising it in your posts.
Kind of like I get paid as a software developer professionally but I still contribute to open source in my free time. Of course potential employers could go through my free stuff and then decide that they want to pay me to work for them, but it's not directly marketing my career for people not interested in it.

"By the way, if you are a Linux developer who disagrees with IBM’s actions and you believe in Linux freedom the way we do, we are hiring." brought a smile to my face :D
