Sounds like it’s time for a class action lawsuit. 🥰

Blue is the warmest color.

On Android (and probably other systems), Death Road to Canada is fun, funny, challenging, and comes with no BS.

Yup. I’m either hoping for a more sustainable alternative, or a fork with active updates.

For now, I’m holding my position, but preparing for an exit from Bitwarden.

you could just not update your mobile app and keep using vault warden.

Well, I’d prefer that the apps that are a gateway to my most important pieces of data (passwords) be updated to plug vulnerabilities and exploits. If it were any other app/service, then I can live without updates. But not something related to passwords.

I dont know if any specific model will be the right answer, but Qualcomm has their Snapdragon event going on right now, and many of the advancements they are touting are specifically for local AI processing.

So, computing power will improve significantly over the next few years, with AI being the largest benefactor.

These are the tips that the Kleenex company doesn’t want you to know! LOL

If you feel a sneeze coming on, pinch the soft tissue at the bridge of your nose. For me, this stops a sneeze 99% of the time.

Yeah, with all the stuff going on with password managers, I wonder if there’s a truly future-proof setup that can be self-hosted and will never have these issues.

I was a Keepass user many years ago, but I’m not confident that a Keepass-like system would work well with some very computer-illiterate family members. Bitwarden is hard enough to teach them, and it’s one of the easy ones!

Did deaths per capita drop, or just total deaths?

Because dead people can no longer drive the stats, so it would keep going down unless there was a dramatic increase in overdoses (leading to more deaths).

It still sounds like positive news, but Jesus Christ, 100,000 people a year dying from totally preventable causes? That’s aweful.

They will choose to stop if it doesn’t make them money. 😀

But yes, not allowing them to do this in the first place would be a very reasonable thing to fight for.

Floccus is actually just a sync tool, it can also sync with Linkwarden in the latest version.

No way! I just uninstalled Linkwarden because it wasn’t working well on too many websites (i.e. it would capture cookie popups or “choose your country” rather than the page I wanted).

Glad to see some cool updates and integration, though.

Everyone should enter these stores dressed up like it’s Payday (the video game) until they stop with this facial recognition nonsense.

CIBC, my dude 😉

I self-host https://floccus.org/

If you’ve got a browser that supports plugins, then you can use the floccus add-in. But for Android, I use the floccus app since it’s just easier.

Floccus is primarily a bookmarking service, but if you want to save articles for viewing later Linkwarden might be a better fit.

Believe me, Google does enough a/b testing, and has enough experience in psychological manipulation to know where “the line” is for most people.

Sure, some will never use their product(s) again when pushed too far, but they don’t really need everyone to be using their products.

Only the users they can profit from the most are of value. If a terrible UI, awful UX, or even a paid subscription doesn’t scare them away from using a Google Product, then each of those users becomes a cash cow.

Those are mostly operating costs, offset by revenue, but are they actually losing 1.5 billion dollars a year? I mean, I hope so, but are they really?

Source? Where is that money going?

When did it get this bad?

Bad? Google just proved that they can get you to stay on their search page (or come back to get a different answer) for way longer than you need… this is a WIN for them.

The enshittification of the internet + the greed inherent in these mega corps have caused websites to be designed to grab steal your attention for as long as possible. The longer they can keep you on their site, the more money/data/attention/time they can get out of you.

If search was designed to benefit the user, a typical visit would result in maybe 5-10 seconds of someone’s time to enter a search and click on the relevant result. You proved that when you compared it to DDG 😀

Awesome! Thank you!
