Anything’s a regex if you’re brave enough.

I’ve been using AWS R53 for this for ages and it works well. Not specifically recommending AWS but using dynamic updates rather than a DDNS service (or running your own name server which I’ve also done).

Just going for cigarettes…

I’m going to get back to watching that later.

True—my work paying for it is another disincentive to not move elsewhere. It’s basically not reached the tipping point for me yet but will do one day.

Despite the breach, LastPass has been pretty solid for me for over a decade. Syncs across devices, easy sharing between family members, etc. If your master pw and iteration counts are in the green, even them losing your data is relatively low risk, apart from exposing the sites you have accounts for, which is equal parts privacy & security issue. If I wasn’t so invested in LP, I would probably go elsewhere but since the horse has bolted…

I’ve also heard good things about Bitwarden and KeePass but can’t speak to how easy they are to set up.

Sad Betamax noises

Is there anything looking even remotely promising to replace silicon? Manufacturing base aside, what’s the most like candidate so far?

Or volunteers. Don’t know about where you are, but near me, town gardens, flowers, woods and rivers are maintained for all by community-minded volunteer groups.

given that hauling new metals out of the ground and refining them is a messy and energy-intensive business.

Still easier than dismantling a phone. That’s why we’re in this position. I was vaguely involved in some research looking at this, and to be economically viable (this was several years ago, so hopefully things are improving), you had about 30 seconds per phone to reclaim the valuable stuff before it cost less to mine it. You can barely get the cover open in that time.

More thought on hiding posts:

• Definitely should be an option. Manual could be swipe left on post. My home feed currently has 2 large stickied posts at the top and id love to hide them permanently. Id also like the option of hide when opened and hide on scroll like Apollo.
• In wefwef.app’s Profile tab, you can see your Posts and Comments. Something like that with an extra option for Hidden posts (again, like Apollo), perhaps with the possibility of notifications / icons showing if there is new activity on them?
• Replies to your own comments still in the inbox, so much less chance of missing those. So much potential to keep improving. I’m working with several apps side by side atm, but definitely keep coming back to Memmy. Except for this reply, as finding my comment was easier in wefwef :(

Maybe I’m being dense, but where’s the option to always use Reader mode? I can see for each individual website once opened, but that’s a Safari setting not a memmy one…

Btw, I only found this when you added Inbox. Fantastic :)

+1 for TST. I have 840 tabs at the moment :)

I use both (different machine), and find the difference minimal. Terminal has tabs on Win 10, and there are so many better alternatives to file explorer—I’m using XYPlorer now but have used many others.

There may be other reasons to upgrade of course.

Just to add a couple of things to your great list that I’m missing by from Apollo:

• Hide posts I’ve read (eg posts I’ve scrolled past are marked as ‘read’ and then hidden on next refresh. Ideally with an option to view / search those ‘read’ posts
• Option to open the built-in. Bowser view in Reader mode—this solves much of the trash mobile sites with endless cookie pop ups and ads

Almost right. Printers and scanners were not built by people. They are an independent life form that just happens to emulate office equipment for their own benefit. They have enabled parasitic entities such as Canon and HP to thrive alongside them, but since there is no ‘design’ involved, they will never really develop the same kind of interfaces we expect from modern UX labs.

It’s also the reason any sane person keeps a loaded gun nearby whenever interacting with them, just in case they make any unusual noises.

Sorry, this was a reply to someone elsewhere, but testing out Mlem and it ended up as a top level comment. Wonder if this one will too…

Yeah, imagine that. CEO makes unpopular decision, alienates loads of users, and triggers mass migration. Couldn’t happen. /s

Totally. If you don’t know the vi basics and you’re stuck in some state of disrepair or emergency, you’re going to have a much worse time getting things sorted :)

I much prefer gui editor with all the frills for complex coding. But the guy I’m working with right now, it’s vim all the way for him and honestly he’s about as fast as I am at most things.
