The thing is the missing comments are all in English, and they affect entire posts and not just certain commenters so it probably isn't related to the language setting for individual comments, otherwise only certain comments would be missing and not the whole thread. Plus I already have all languages enabled. As a test I also found one commenter from an empty thread and viewed other posts they commented on and both their comment and everyone else's showed up. If it was related to people marking their comments wrong I would expect it to affect their comments on other threads too.
My retirement account has roughly doubled between Dec 2021 and now, I basically only invest in mutual funds and ETFs with a medium risk, low fees, and high return according to Morningstar ratings (I'm not sure how reliable those metrics are but it's what shows up when browsing funds on fidelity and it seems to be picking good options so far)
I also canceled my subscription because it's been months and half of the posts with comments still show no comments forcing me to open every post in Firefox just to read the comments. Seems like too many bugs that leave the app unusable are being ignored.
Not sure about Facebook since authenticating for private videos is a hurdle, but for my partner who uses a mac I downloaded open video downloader which is just a foss GUI for ytdl, it also keeps ytdl up to date which is a requirement for me since I don't want to be called when it stops working. I think on windows you have to manually install msvc2010redist but besides that it seems to just work out of the box.
I used to have a lot of apps back then that would use them as advertisement banners, it was really annoying. I forget when it happened but I've been using Android since honeycomb so I've seen a lot
I'm hoping and assuming that apps would need to ask for permission to use this, lest this turn into every app fighting to push their own dynamic island notification to the top bar, just like how back then every app wanted to have its own persistent notification and also that time when every app provided minor status updates using global toasts that didn't specify which app created it, so you could be doing something in a completely different app and you'd get a completely random and unattributed toast with some vague message like "connection failed" with no way outside of third party apps to figure out which app sent it. /rant
Wait you can train the Futo keyboard? I tried it a while ago and noticed the poor accuracy and decided to shelve it for a while.
Don't wp updates and plugins only come from one of the 2? Anyway I'm pretty sure they're just mad that wpengine uses bandwidth from the wp update infrastructure without paying instead of hosting their own update infrastructure, which basically means that selfhosters / individuals are not the target. That said it still sounds like the dude is being hella petty about it.
Gotcha, that sounds like searx is a good option then. At first I thought you were giving a reason why searx isn't a suitable alternative as the gp comment is downvoted a bunch.
Can't you just not enable the Yandex backend if you're selfhosting searx?
I use the open source bitwarden server vaultwarden, but still use the official browser plugin and Android app - though I wonder if this library license change would affect open source client implementations by requiring third party extensions and apps to implement their own compatible BitWarden API. The cynic in me wonders if that could be a move to make it harder on developers of third party clients in an effort to strengthen the position of the official clients even when using a third party server like vaultwarden. I never really considered using a foss bit/vaultwarden browser extension or Android app but maybe I should if it exists.
Someone correct me if I'm interpreting the license issue wrong.
Sounds like those "soft touch" plastic surfaces. I've had a bunch of old plastic things turn sticky that way - it's really hard to get it off but what I do is alternate between isopropyl, WD40 (brushed on with a cotton swab or cotton ball and let it sit for a while to let it break down the sticky before using Clorox or isopropyl to remove the WD40), and Clorox wipes. Eventually the matte finish comes off and you're left with a shiny plastic surface. It just takes a lot of elbow grease, I often give myself finger blisters from scrubbing but it's a relief to get it off.
Edit: also the last time I did this was on some old lighters which had a soft touch plastic which turned sticky, what ended up happening was the WD40 seemed to help soften the sticky stuff which allowed me to push it around by rubbing really firmly in one direction. If you push it towards one spot it'll bunch up like softened sticker goo, then I use Clorox wipes to pinch up the bits of collected goo. It still took a lot of rubbing to get the last sticky stuff off to reveal the shiny plastic underneath but "migrating" the goo into a pile once softened by the WD40 (but degreasing the excess WD40 with the Clorox wipes before rubbing so that your finger doesn't just slip) seemed to be the strategy for my sticky lighters.
Hope that helps you figure out something that works for you
If only they would do damage control for the climate instead of just their image.
Oh nice, I completely forgot about the vault export since I've never used it. I was expecting to be able to "view" the passkey data when editing an entry like how you can view the password. It's kind of inscrutable when viewing a single entry currently.
The key difference is that during normal use, the private key of the passkey doesn't leave the device (or password manager). The passkey basically comes in 2 parts, the public and private (secret) part. In order to log in, the website presents a cryptographic challenge that is only solvable using your private key - and crucially you can solve the challenge without revealing your private key. An attacker could get your answer to the challenge and still be unable to solve additional challenges without the private part of your passkey.
This of course makes it basically impossible to manually log in using a passkey and a keyboard, without any password manager to do the cryptographic calculations (unless you have a LOT of paper and time), but the security advantage of making it near impossible to be phished is generally regarded as a net positive. In order to steal a passkey there would need to be a vulnerability in the software, since passkeys make it much harder to trick a user into giving it away (since tricking the user into logging in on a fake website doesn't work due to the aforementioned cryptography, the main way to steal a passkey would be to trick the user into exporting it - which is a much higher bar).
If you mean the "passkeys" that are becoming popular as a "password replacement", it's basically speaking a public private keypair. What makes it more secure is that, under normal conditions (aside from backing up the passkey), the private "secret" part of the keypair never leaves the app or device it's stored on. It's only used temporarily to sign messages and prove that you have the secret key, unlike a password which needs to be sent securely to a server to validate.
You could in theory store a backup on a USB drive but since passkeys are new, it highly depends on the password manager you use to store the passkey. Since passkeys are more complex than something you can memorize/type, it has to be stored in a password manager of some sort to be useful, so you would need to check that password manager allows backing up passkeys. There is currently work being done to standardize the formats/protocols to transfer passkeys so it seems this is very much up in the air. For example, I use BitWarden which stores passkeys, but it seems like I can only add or delete passkeys to an entry, not export them and apparently they get exported with the passwords when the vault is exported. BitWarden also syncs your vault to every logged in device though so you could see that as a form of backup. Going one step further, even though BitWarden doesn't have a passkey export/backup feature yet (in addition to Bitwarden's vault export), the self-hosted server also stores all your passwords including passkeys in regular files which also can be backed up (this is how I back up my VaultWarden instance) - although it would probably be hard to use that backup in any other way besides restoring it onto a BitWarden server instance.
Edit: I didn't realize passkeys were exported with the vault export, since I haven't used it and noticed that editing an entry doesn't allow you to view passkey data - only remove, updated my comment to reflect that.
I concur about rechargeables - it doesn't seem common for devices that take AA or AAA to have a battery gauge and it would be nice to be able to check the level on my rechargeables stock so I can know if I should top them off without needing to put each of them into the charger.
By dropping prices during the evacuation, the airlines ensured that flights filled up more quickly, making it harder for many to escape.
Bro I just... Wtf
