It's 100% syntax and valuable syntactic data - but it's also it's supposed to be an informal grammar, and programmers can't handle it
Password manager 2FA and SMS 2FA solves the threat model that most people live in
(Organizational security has a far different threat model)

I am talking about getting locked out because you accidentally lost your auth app

You won't lose your phone number for SMS or password manager
Whereas losing a phone with an TOTP authenticator setup or losing a yubikey is pretty simple

But also - I am *far* more likely to lose a phone than by hit by SIM swapping (to be clear - only because I'm a dumbass)
But using Yubico TOTP also basically primed me for "password manager TOTP is functionally the same as Google TOTP but with the convenience of device portability"

And the answer to that is "it's complicated" - but yeah - in a perfect world we'd all have two security keys, and one is kept in a secure location and one is kept in a wallet/keychain - but that's not feasible (says the man with that)

And it turns out it silently failed *lint* in the *build stage*, not a prelinter
Pipielines were a mistake
it barfed up a message like "you are adding elements to this array in a fixed-size loop, preallocate space for it first" for some test setup code that was like,
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { vector.emplace(blah blah); }
so the guy fixing all this linter garbage typoed
vector.resize(1000);
instead of
vector.reserve(1000);
so a bunch of unit tests were now using a homogeneous pile of default-constructed elements
…

does the linter warn you about "hey, you have a big vector of identical default-constructed elements and then you added 1000 actual randomized test objects to it that none of your code will ever touch?" — no, of course not, that's too complicated for it
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But yeah - the compiler will usually say "you're an idiot, but I'll allow it' instead of "fuck off and rewrite it"
But - seriously - make the linter not dumb, and make it make suggestions if it has some.
Also - why the fuck are they populating a vector with a loop?!
for (blah blah) {
// do some rng shit to make a funny object and maybe connect it to some other objects
vector.emplace(blah blah);
}

But only the series where he does an employment survey of a video game, and then does a report on it - and - uh - what an ideal gimmick

So the GM is playing the character who wants the episode to work. They (secretly) set a list of segments that need to happen. Your goal is to successfully do all these scenes.
Everyone else creates a character, that character has a goal (I think 2-3 would be correct), something they want to happen in the episode. Typically this is gonna be like, flirt with a guest star, manage to do a song, or whatever.
You may generate a guest star once all this is together.
Use some sort of tooling to allow people to take the scene and control it, use a Baron Munchhausen style story-stick game, but probably with some Drama System style stuff to get the game flowing. The GM sets each scene, but then the player whose "turn" it is has *control* and needs to try to accomplish their goals or complete the scene. At the end of the scene, do some sort of Fiasco-style "success" ceremony.
At the end of the game, if the GM succeeded at making most of the scene "succeed", then you move on. Otherwise you take a cancellation point. When you have a pre-determined number of cancellation points, the campaign is over.
If a player accomplishes their goals, they get a star power, which can probably be used in the Drama System style stuff above, or just generally used for bragging points when the series is finally cancelled.
Alternate arrangement would be to use Budget in place of cancellation points.

I just found a random token in our environment and was like "fuuuuuuck gonna take forever to track". And then it had the comment "If you see this after April 2022, delete it"

Whereas the Mastodon expectation is that I've specifically viewed the profile of everyone I click the follow button for.
I'm not sure why the mastodon community has opted for maximum friction for their preferred workflow.
Twitter is basically WotC and the OGL right now. They want you to pay microtransactions in order to do something you can legally do, but they could, in theory, make take *slightly* more work.
Well, ok, twitter wants macrotransactions

Like, the PCs say a bunch and I go "She scowls and seems disbelieving but doesn't speak"
Or "She replies " that makes sense", obviously not believing that"
I realize I don't know if I see that elsewhere.

And my first thought wasn't "thing that burns" but something much worse
And as a parent - that's a decision I completely understand now
