Max Leibman has moved!What do I do for a living? Like many of you, my primary occupation is entering passwords and two-factor codes into a variety of apps and websites all day long.
My previous favorite answer to the what-do-you-do question, circa 2015: “I work in a tall glass building where we make numbers.”
nvironmntcarol@maxleibman it’s what i went to school for
Ted Spence@maxleibman and then you get locked out of them because you clicked a link on your phone and it opened in some weird private app browser rather than your iPhone browser
Dan@maxleibman my work has SSO, which I'm pretty sure stands for Signing-in So Often
Matthew Davis@maxleibman @Dan Screen sharing in Zoom with colleagues working on a Google Doc
Google: This looks like the perfect time for me to sign you out — enjoy!
BonneMillie@infinimatt @maxleibman @Dan I very briefly in December thought using iOS’s “iPhone as webcam” function would be fun. It uses the back camera as the webcam, rendering the phone itself useless. After several meetings where Google had signed me out and I couldn’t get back in because the passcode was sent to a device running as a webcam, I realised the whole idea is a stupid one.
Geoff Rothman@infinimatt @maxleibman @Dan or after a patch is pushed disabled screen sharing in general. Uhmmm why is this button grayed out?? ;)
⛧⛧⛧J.d.B.⛧⛧⛧@maxleibman I spend most of my time detecting fire hydrants from photos.
You know, the red American kind, what you see in movies.

Blake Leonard@pimeys @maxleibman you do realize most, if not all, of those movies are filmed in America, specifically in Hollywood?
We know nothing about the outside world here :)

Pseudo Nym@maxleibman I also reboot the blinky light box frequently, so the various arcanum inside can continue to contain the trapped daemons. Oh, and to update my games too.
We never should have trapped lightning in rocks and taught them to think.
Diabolic Preacher@maxleibman secure livelihood

A f'ing men. Yes I signed in on a new device because I didn't want to use my phone, and it's charging, so I can't check my email on it to verify, that's why I was trying to use the other device. 😡 🏳️

M@maxleibman , I also have a hard work trying to avoid timeouts at work... every time I miss them, here it comes: a very long password and unlock my phone for MFA token 😆
Jari Lehtinen@maxleibman I solve CAPTCHAs.
thegaryhawkins@maxleibman What do I do for a living? I copy images and text from one document to another document, sometimes from several documents, sometimes I rearrange them. Once in a while I share those documents with other people. I hope they like my documents because if they do then I get to make more documents for them.
HollieK@thegaryhawkins @maxleibman I've done that too. And copying figures from one document to another document. Or writing down what people are saying and typing it all into a document. Variety is the spice of life.

Jürgen Gmach@maxleibman meetings, you forgot to mention meetings!
@jugmac00 I’m a project manager, so the meetings are mostly my own fault!
Buy nothing new@maxleibman hahaha me too
cos@maxleibman @josh “single” sign on, eh?
josh@cos @maxleibman there's gotta be a better way
bubbly ✅@maxleibman wheeeeee that's a mood right there
Primo@maxleibman I feel that.
xs4me2Gee whiz, same here!
Yahia Lababidi@maxleibman As a poet, I’ve come to think of my life as one of service and giving praise 🙏🏼✨

Jules 🍺@maxleibman
Recommend you use Bitwarden or some other password vault (except LastPass), just have to remember one password and you can have really strong passwords for everything else 😀

Aliberk Sandıkçı@maxleibman I found my twin 😅
Max Legroom ☕️@maxleibman I copy and paste information from one document into another document.
@maxleibman what is that supposed to mean? So what is your occupation?
@arielklein It’s a joke about how office workers often have many different passwords to keep track of. (And I’m actually a project manager.)
Burnt Veggies@maxleibman I shoot people for a living, but I also spend an inordinate amount of time checking/reading/writing/sending email.
GreenDotGuy@maxleibman Same. That's what I -do-, but my -purpose- is to make sure everyone else has to.
Sheldon@maxleibman the most awesomest 2FAs are the ones on the sites that don't even store any personal information and would be of little consequence if someone got into your account.
arnicas@maxleibman I do that and then I tar/zip files and move them from machine to machine all day long
`Da Elf@arnicas @maxleibman That's about my day ... Move 10Gb of data tar/zip from this machine in a rack 1,000mi away, to a machine in the same rack, 2" away from the first machine.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
Upside, leaves me time to read threads like this.
Mat the Wolverine 
@maxleibman mine was "updating Java"
DJLoriee@maxleibman Right?!?!
John KelldenOn my one day off each month, I add comments inside empty text boxes.

British Tech Guru@maxleibman I enjoy work. I can watch people doing it all day!
Jordan Kay@maxleibman It’s ridiculous. My computer knows I’m the one using it. Just log me into everything, I beg of it.
Hal Aetus@maxleibman @geemo Gotta train that AI somehow :D
hype-vhsI sit at my desk in Room 427 and push buttons on a keyboard. Orders come to me through a monitor on my desk telling me what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order.
Austin Cunningham@maxleibman think it's clicking reject all to cookie request over and over again
Swagpuss McG@maxleibman you need to use a symbol, but only one of these symbols...
🤔
@swagpussc A favorite game of mine at a past employer was to find passwords that conformed to the rules but looked (even at the risk of actually being) easy-to-guess.
@maxleibman I like the ones who use "FuckTheBoss1!"
Text Pro AI | Order in 1 Text@maxleibman Why don't you try creating a Text Pro acct - 1 login for all your purchases, and thru text so its fast and convenient https://textpro.ai or text 850-789-8776
CarlRJ@textproai @maxleibman having to type in what I want is too much work - can’t you have ChatGPT figure out what I want and order it for me?
@carlrj yes! Text Pro AI remembers your favorite order. Just have to send us the location. See this pic
@textproai but sending a location is so much work. Why can’t it correctly predict what I want and send it to me before I know that I want it?
@carlrj I like it! How about this: "We are reordering Dunkin for you, please reply 'N' in the next 10 minutes if you don't want it" ?
Can add that feature fairly easily!
Please help us grow by signing up at https://textpro.ai and become an early adopter!
@textproai signing up is way too much work. Since the service has AI, it should figure out when people want to be signed up and handle the mundane trivialities for them.
@carlrj 😂 you're right, that would be ideal. However, I can't help you here because legally we need 1) consent and 2) info for placing orders like a name. LMK if you change your mind and want to become a TEXTER!
Underten Over@maxleibman And trying to remember which aws region my shit was setup in.
Alex 
@maxleibman Yeah, mostly the same, so I can stare blankly at a variety of Google Docs.
