I am trying to close my #QantasAirways account after recent data breach. They don't make it easy.
Plus the account security is very poor.The use SMS 2FA in some places and Auth App TOTP in others (if you enable it).
I struggled to set a new 4 digit PIN as the UX is so piss poor
And I can only use 4 digit PIN. No facility for a secure password/passphrase or a passkey.
@zakb I trained my kids (then young school children) to chant "Windows is bad, Linux is good"
Their mother was not impressed.
(*cough* I now use macOS on my principal laptop 
).
Research and think about the possible solution before you create your 1st code file.
Creating simple diagrams will help you understand structure and relationships between components.
Not suggesting you get everything planned up front, or that you won't have to go back and rethink things.
But it will probably help you feel in control and speed you up in the long term.
A brief history of gun control in America:
NRA: We need unlimited firearms to stop tyrannical government
Black people: Sounds good, we are open carrying in California
NRA: Not so fast. We're banning firearms
[ICE raids California, targets Black and brown people with illegal arrests]
Black and brown people: Hey NRA, here's that tyrannical government you mentioned
NRA: Oh, we meant tyranny against white people. We're perfectly good with fascists targeting you
The End
Just read this article on the AU Gov age verification trial for social media (laws coming in to keep under 16 off social media).
Scant on details and full of equivocation. I am not confident they can make this work.
I am also not happy about the excuse to collect even more info about me.
