If I’m being very picky and perfectionist, Obsidian.

It’s closed source, and there are open-source alternatives, be it Trilium, Zettlr or whatever strikes your fancy

Imagine going to a lab, taking that out of your chemical drawer, and just yanking it into your mouth in front of everyone

Fuck Hexbear but also lol

This one’s underrated

There’s not one, but plenty of terrible jobs.

I’ve been at the slaughterhouse, and it is indeed one of the most horrific experiences I had. The smell of stale blood, the heat, the constant repetition, and normalized violence. It takes a mental toll.

And working in delivery (which I also did) takes a physical one - especially when you’re a walking courier, which these things are aimed to replace. Back problems, damaged feet, severe calluses, chafing, muscle pain, high risk of all sorts of traumas…the list goes on. Add to that that the rates paid often force these people to overwork way past their healthy physical limits, and you get a recipe for disaster.

Students choose it, because they need an unqualified job that can adapt to their study schedule. Gig work does that. But the rest is pure exploitation, which finds its reflection in health issues, lack of time and fulfillment, and, in case of students - a fall in academic performance.

Eliminating terrible jobs may come with new, somewhat less crushing ones.

The reality of the labor market on its lower end is that plenty of jobs are unnecessary and artificial. They are meant to generate employment while not reducing working hours or (re-)educating people to take jobs that are actually in demand. It is a simple band-aid, that is easy for the government and good for capital (as it gets both incentives from the government and a pass on building a gig economy).

The more terrible, crushing jobs we eliminate, the more the government is forced to actually do something meaningful about the labor.

To be fair, the delivery robots I’ve seen (made by Yandex, which is known for bleeding-edge developments in self-driving technology) made good job to be as unobtrusive and predictable as possible, while also avoiding humans in quite a large range.

My only issue with them is that these are camera-equipped devices rolling the streets and likely sending all that footage to their Big Tech daddies. Besides that, they do their job well, reducing the need for hard human labor.

Google already does what it should: sideloading apps requires you to manually approve the source, and when you do, a popup appears warning user of potential dangers. No need to play daddy any more than this.

Having a locked ecosystem is very convenient and profitable for Google, but terrible for its users. Google wants this walled garden not out of safety, but to get a tight grip on the app stores - and get a solid buck while doing it.

Hey, it’s gonna be alright

• You still will be able to sideload apps, they just add a nasty 24-hour cooldown
• In the meantime, it’s worth having a migration strategy to a mobile OS that actually respects you - be it Graphene, Lineage, or Linux/Sailfish.

Amazing

Okay, I don’t like AI much, normally, but this one is pure gold

Never expected it to roast even barely known sites with such level of detail and taste

Always good to have a place to escape to - but we need to regain people’s power over the mainstream Internet.

This is where most people will remain, this is where you’ll have to go to stay in touch, this is what influences public opinion on policies and actions. This ground cannot and should not be given up.

Honestly, yes.

The culture always tell you to work harder and demand less. This is simply to make it easier to exploit you. Just work harder, and everything will be amazing and we won’t just tighten it even more, we promise

Yep, NoScript seems to help!

Same as The Guardian and a few more. Sometimes I wonder how can this be legal.

Bitwarden app is fully compatible with Vaultwarden and stores copies of all your passwords for offline access, so as long as you have access to the app somewhere, you’ll have them.

Also, Bitwarden can export your passwords as a file in several formats, readable by Bitwarden, KeePassXC etc. You can have that stored somewhere safe.

Use the Bitwarden app, it is compatible. Under the email field, choose a custom server and set it up there.

Update automatically turns off the air conditioning in the van if the driver is not in the vehicle for more than 30 seconds.

This is not a bug

I actually enjoyed not having quest markers! That gives a sense of discovery that felt fresh and new despite the old roots, and I hope Skywind won’t force quest markers on the user (although I also hope they will be added as an optional feature).

I just want to see things looking and moving more naturally, along with sensible keybinds and more.

If you or someone you trust happen to have a home server, just install Vaultwarden, which is the community fork of Bitwarden without any fees, shady stuff or reliance on Bitwarden infrastructure.
