The SQLite parts that exist in Firefox right now are no less fiddly. If you crash the thing and the journal files are still there, it starts back up and presents you with a blank profile. Absolutely horrifying if you don't know about this quirk (and about the fact that you can go in and delete those even after such a restart happens).

Always did think suicides should be investigated as murders. Someone's at fault. Perhaps even intentionally.

It "improves privacy" because Proton is a "private email service". That's all there is to that line of marketing here.

Personal experience here -- every now and again GitHub will slow to an absolute crawl. All of it. Page loads, pulls and pushes, will take minutes to complete. And you can forget about trying to download a release when this happens... I haven't really looked for other complaints so I can't provide much in ways of sources/corroborations.

Wayland, Flatpak and Gnome are dead set on trying to turn my computer into a weird oversized smartphone. AppImage tries to recreate the "just download it and run" experience that Windows and macOS have, but hasn't quite gotten there yet (AppImages will sometimes just randomly link to system-wide libraries anyway, forgetting to bundle dependencies). Meh. I guess I'll check back in some years, as it always goes.

Do you genuinely, truly believe that "4 digits then "-" then 2 digits then "-" then 2 digits" is more readable than "\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}"? Do you think your walls of text won't make everyone's eyes glaze over a few lines in? More importantly, do you believe it's more writable? A lot of regex operations are ad-hoc, and being able to type them out quickly and look at them in a small text field at a glance is very important. And as far as coding is concerned, well, your thing is useless outside of the JS ecosystem, is it not?

Dead? Replaced?... Your toy is cute, but it's more suited as a regex generator, or perhaps parser/"explainer" (but we already have several well-known projects there) than a standalone tool.

Discord does not require a smartphone for MFA. If you are thinking TOTP, there's a ton of desktop apps that generate those. Passkeys are supported for the purpose as well.

Replacing E's with O's is, somehow, also an issue with OCR as old as time. Remember seeing a bootleg Family Guy (?) DVD going around some years back where ovory songlo vowol wos o on tho synopsos on tho bock.

Appears to be running on plain HTTP, and trying to access it over HTTPS presents a bad cert and then redirects somewhere incomprehensible. No idea what the domain owner is doing here.

Reading is significantly faster than listening. Writing is significantly more precise than speaking. You're gonna have to write information down so that it's not lost anyway.

Yes however speaking allows flexibility in communication, dynamics that text does not support and, crucial if there is no alignment, nonverbal communication.

It is much much easier to build trust in person, which is important for efficient teams.

In the end, both modes have pros and cons, but there is indeed a lot of research indicating remote teamwork is much more challenging on many dimensions

To me all of this reads like gibberish but I'll admit that it's likely just me (and "my kind" of neurodivergent people). Far as dynamics go (ability to interrupt) voice chat solves the problem fully as far as I'm concerned. Non-verbal comms are lost on me to the point that I don't know what you even mean, and I simply cannot trust anyone who is close enough to me to potentially punch me...

Again, granted -- I'm an outlier, but that also means that I can just operate at my full capacity when I work with text and cannot when I work "in person".
