Really curious about this one thing. When you mistype or mis-swipe your mobile phone unlock code, do you

a) backspace furiously
b) keep going, w/ the idea that it's faster just to fsck up once

@briankrebs you should see how many times I hit "backspace" when I think I mistyped a character after invoking sudo. I'm surprised the key hasn't worn out.

@briankrebs tbh I don't normally know until it doesn't work

@sldrant sounds like a decent third option to add

@briankrebs If someone is watching, you have to make it look like it was your intention all along, because, uh, doing it correctly the first time would have actually dropped you into an "under duress" fake environment.

@briankrebs Phone: keep going
Physical keyboard: backspace baby

@briankrebs Either some people are doing both or Mastodon is bad at math.

@briankrebs Keep Going To Fail! A new T-shirt has landed!

@georgebaily haha. say, that would make an okay band name.

I'm not going to say which way I lean here, but I will say the question resonates with me because my music teacher says you should never allow yourself to play wrong notes. Which seems like an infuriatingly obvious thing to say -- and it is that -- but it's also probably correct.

@briankrebs I have visions of your music teacher, performing in an orchestra that's trying to follow the conductor, while your teacher goes back and repeats the phrase they flubbed up.

@geoffduncan yes. I should have been more clear with the context, which was trying to play sheet music.

@briankrebs I keep going a word or two to see if autocorrect fixes or ducks it up…. Then I backspace furiously.

Only one hour to go. And remember, this is for posterity. So, be honest.

@briankrebs why does the result add up to 102% for me

@briankrebs to everyone asking about maths, certain apps will allow a user to vote multiple times, don’t ask me why, but check the user v voter count.

@WorMP3 it's a good thing we're not using this for elections! :)

@L2actual @briankrebs That's because it was a multi-choice poll, actually 😉

That might explain it alright @golemwire 😂 ... But this now begs the question, what kind of person would have selected BOTH responses??? 🤯😵‍💫
@briankrebs

@golemwire @L2actual oh ffs
