In the US (OP’s post was somewhat US-specific), I haven’t had trouble paying cash for prepaid sim cards. Those services tend to be on the expensive side, but I suppose you don’t have to keep the number active after your Discord signup.
mxroute.com. Also fastmail (not literally unlimited but some number in the hundreds I think). But they are on the expensive side.
Fastmail does catchalls through subdomains automatically. So if my fastmail address is xyz@mydomain.com then anything@xyz.mydomain.com will be forwarded to me. So that’s how I assign special addresses to websites and stuff. I don’t know if mxroute does that.
In practice places have gotten less obnoxious about sharing emails. It’s been pretty rare for those addresses to spill across multiple senders.
What’s the big deal making people use Discord? I’ve never used it or felt that I had to.
I think I wouldn’t use Lifeline for this, given all the rigamarole? Would other VOIP numbers work? Could you just get another SIM and use it as a throwaway number?
Worst possible experience, not hardly. He mailed the thing and tried to track it, and it didn’t work. When I saw “worst possible experience” I expected a swat raid or something. This is 2024, and if all that goes wrong with a new tech gadget is that it doesn’t work, that’s literally a nothingburger. At least give us some battery explosions or something.

I was trying to remember whether the Coen brothers made Blazing Saddles. That’s the level of talent we need.
I get better sound watching on my phone with 2 dollar earbuds.
For a popular level explanation, try Feynman’s “QED” lecture series,

A more technical understanding is a lot more work and I never got anywhere near this level, the “theoretical minimum”:

Actually for the stuff you are asking about, the theoretical minumum isn’t really enough, but it’s a start. Here’s some more:
What do you set it to?
Ticking time bomb! Think of the children!!! Law or no law, this will be abused if it can be. Having the law is still a good thing I guess.
This seems to give him some pretty good trolling opportunities.
A physical token only authenticates itself as “something you have” if there’s no way to extract the key from it. In practice non-hardcore deployments usually have a backup procedure but in principle, if you want multiple tokens, they should have separate keys. What you’re asking in simplest form involves storing the key on a server where it can potentially spill in a server breach or the like. If the key protects something very valuable, that can be dangerous. If it’s for your old Reddit account, you might decide to do it anyway.
It’s considered bad form to do what you’re asking but most 2fa apps have a backup restore scheme now. Is that enough?
I’ll leave the psychological analysis to others but when I’m in a text discussion that needs synchronization (e.g. pick someone up at the train station), I usually respond to incoming texts as soon as I see them, e.g. with “ok”, unless I’m driving and the person is expecting me. Even if I’m driving, I’ll hear the incoming text buzz the phone, so if I think it needs immediate attention I’ll pull over and look at it. So lack of such a text response within a few minutes could indicate “follow up with a voice call”.
It’s hard to understand the purpose of this. The difficulty of the project (i.e. complexity of the web) is the real problem that needs solving. We don’t need another fork of the browser-verse. We need a fork of the web itself.
How are they going to produce these patches if microsoft is no longer releasing them?
First there were glassholes. Now we’ll have earworms?
I just looked and the usual channels are still there. Apparently the ban is narrow and specific. Applies to videos with direct links to gun dealers and that type of thing.
