    It's had the same basic design since the 90's. I've been going there forever.

    I honestly wouldn't rely on that. Not for any security reason either. Simply put, I don't know any of my family that could tell me the difference between Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc....

    I honestly wouldn't rely on that. Not for any security reason either. Simply put, I don't know any of my family that could tell me the difference between Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc. OSes have a habit of changing and/or forcing certain links to open in certain browsers. Once that happens at a moment I'd rather be sleeping, I'll be getting a call asking why their browser doesn't remember their passwords any longer.

    Teach them to use a specific app (like Bitwarden) and they will always look for that app. Also allows them to change ecosystems with ease. Don't have to worry about porting all your passwords from chrome on your android phone to safari when you switch to an iPad. You just drop the app on the device and it just works.

    Certainly, you could just use browser password storage. I just look for the path of least family tech support.

    My only concern with that would be old threads with dead image links, especially if the image is more or less the point of the post, like the person you replied to is suggesting. A nice middle...

    I kind of feel the extra step of having to go with a hosted image off site forces higher quality content, or forces you to adequately “sell” your link if it’s a video. Maybe that’s too high brow lol, I don’t know?

    My only concern with that would be old threads with dead image links, especially if the image is more or less the point of the post, like the person you replied to is suggesting. A nice middle ground would be to have a Tildes specific image host where you can upload photos and have them be reasonably safe from deletion.

    Though, I know that would require even more costs...
