Yeah, your first link shows up as a search on kbin.cafe’s instance for me, it doesn’t even look like a community link. It’s a fully typed out url. Your second link connects me to the magazine community on my own instance.

I don’t see either at symbols or exclamations above. I just see a bunch of search links.

Am I the only one where all the links show up as searches instead of links to the communities themselves?

Isn’t that almost what they suggested except starting at a different size and doing a binary search basically? You’re just starting the binary search after the first step of cutting into 5 lengths instead of 2.

I mean, a study of how non homeless people spend money would probably be skewed and ignore drug addicts too. Studies ignore outliers that would have an obvious affect on what’s being studied.

Are you wondering what a drug addict spends money on?

You could try looking into it at all. Study doesn’t use the term. But sure, create assumptions based on nothing. You know, like the folks that think homeless people will spend the money on something else.

Hardware keys are compatible with passkeys. Once you step into two-factor territory, your identity will be linked to something. I can see the issue with devices themselves, but I don’t see that same issue with hardware keys. And I don’t see any movement towards not supporting traditional passwords in the future. There’s more services (granted many are small scale) in the world using passwords than not. So I doubt passkeys will become the only supported option.

It’s passwordless login, not a password manager. It’s in development and they said the earliest release would be v120.

Yeah, I’m not sure what Microsoft is attempting with S mode. Its just such a half baked concept to me. I’d rather a simplified group policy interface or something if they wanted simplified restrictions.

But yeah, dual booting is a great way to transition. You can also do Windows in a VM, but not sure how licensing works or if you can use an OEM license in there.

Well, it’s a carry over from its early days in how it used to work. You needed to install things via USB debugger. Generally that’s all sideloading ever meant, transferring information from one device to another using a generally “local” method (SD card, USB, etc). Now sideloading, on Android at least (as it retains its original meaning elsewhere), just means not from the official repository.

Are you suggesting this is bad? What was better about “old” Firefox for Android?

I mean, those services do exist. You have that middle ground. Services like Proton exist. And you can use PixelFed instead of Instagram. The issue with trying to use a FOSS frontend to a proprietary backend… well, it’s already a broken system at that point. And Linux lands on a spectrum of building your own car from scratch and dealing with those problems yourself all the way to someone else maintaining it but you’re limited in scope to what it can technically do unless you go under the hood yourself, and that all depends on the distro.

Computers are technological wonders. Making everything simple and easy actually takes a ridiculous amount of work. So doing stuff yourself is absolutely going to be more difficult than paying for a mainstream turnkey solution where they offset the cost by selling your data or showing you ads. Anything that’s proprietary and private will always cost a significant amount more.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Does it support a web browser? Cause I’ve also been considering ditching play-dependent apps and could theoretically just use their web site for comics.

Do you know if there are any issues using either the Marvel or DC apps? I read one review of a color eink tablet (forget which) and the review said sometimes controls didn’t appear correctly for certain apps and now I’m paranoid about getting one (I was looking at boox) and worrying somehow the apps won’t work. I don’t have anything but that random review from some forum but it was enough to worry me.

Do those restrictions cause issues with getting certs from Let’s Encrypt?

No, most projects have a support email. I rarely see them not include that.

Generally the community isn’t even necessarily seen by the developers, especially if it’s big enough to have a lot of active users. They can’t track everything in the community. Centralized feedback is absolutely a godsend for developers. They can’t go searching for it.

I mean, that sounds like extreme laziness. You’re complaining about opening an email (or you could setup an authenticator app). Literally just opening an email is too difficult for you to do and prevents you from telling some other devs about some work you think they should do. I’m being slightly facetious, but you are basically creating work for the devs. The least you can do is open your email. I imagine it’s software they made that you’re probably using for free. Is it so much to ask for? If it bothers you so much, get a hardware key. Bonus if it’s NFC capable so it can work on your phone too. But seriously. This just sounds so entitled at this point. I don’t care that your cookies autodelete. You can open your email. Hell, get the email on your phone even. I don’t care. This isn’t a problem that someone should really be having issues with. It’s a minor inconvenience.

Firefox Relay, Proton email aliases, and whatever iCloud’s email thing is called all allow you to hide your email. The free versions tend to limit how many you can create, but some let you pay for unlimited. I use a different alias for every single thing I sign up for (i personally use Firefox Relay and only ran into an issue once during a sign up). Since I also pay for Proton Mail though, I can get other aliases through there if need be. Basically the very free things will turn you into a customer, so if you want to keep privacy, paying for the basic protections isn’t super expensive.
