This might be a better explanation!

Checks out. I grew a monster sunflower a few times, but not last year.

I didn't plant it (intentionally) but it's definitely more than a weed. I'm letting it grow just to see what it wants to grow up to be.

Exactly. This is like asking if it's safe to lock the key inside of the safe.

Brilliant move by the juror. Getting crushed is just that much worse when you have some hope.

(although I highly doubt this was a calculation by the juror and more Trump reading into something that was never there)

Fuck that. I'm not switching between apps for every god damn function my browser does. I intentionally decline to install apps when I can just use the browser.

The catch is that Turbo Tax and H&R Block are gonna lose a ton of revenue

They're not a car company anyway, they're a "robotics and AI company". Apparently.

The party of limiting personal freedom.

If I want to buy an electric car, why shouldn't I be able to?

So you're saying that you spend like 50 GB or so for every movie in your library? That's unbelievably impractical. What if you want to download some locally to your phone or laptop for a flight, you have to pick the one or two movies that you think you're gonna watch. I keep movies in 1080p at about 3 gigs or so. I just flew out to Denver and back and was happy with the dozen movies I was able to download locally for the trip.

Or even an electric leaf blower. They're like half the noise.

Well, at least they aren't outright throwing the functionality in the trash.

Thoughts on folders (sh.itjust.works)

There's a button to "sort" folders in the settings which sorts the currently existing folders alphabetically. Then when you create a new folder it gets put at the bottom. Can we just have them sort alphabetically automatically?

Also when you click sort, it only sorts the top-level folders. The subfolders don't get sorted at all.

This is the kind of rough-around-the-edges stuff that Proton really needs to sort out before adding more and more services.

That the labels for the apps get truncated so you can only read "Proton" plus the first letter of the app. I'm only able to distinguish based on the icons which isn't great because Pass and Drive are similar colors, and Pass and VPN, and Drive and Calendar are similar shapes.

Send Tab not working (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 months ago by akilou@sh.itjust.works to c/firefox@lemmy.ml

I'm signed into Firefox on 4 devices. I can send tabs between all of them except from my work computer to my phone (other direction works). I can see the tabs open on my computer from my phone and tap to open it on my phone, but if I "send tab" from computer to phone, it never arrives.

I tried signing out on my phone and back in. Didn't work.

What else can I do to troubleshoot?

My wife is in the market for a new phone. Her highest priority is that it's small. She has it narrowed down to a Galaxy S23 or a Zenphone 10. The Samsung is the safe bet, especially since she's upgrading from an S10e. And even so, we can just got to T-mobile and play with one. The Zenphone is a bit riskier as it's unfamiliar. But it's small and gets great reviews. All of the options under "where to buy" have you buy it through, say, Target or Walmart, but it's online only. So she wouldn't be able to play with it until after unboxing and setting it up.

Proton Pass Windows App (sh.itjust.works)

Everyone's been complaining about having access to passwords offline. While you could always do that with the Android app (and I assume iOS), you can now do it in Windows.

Proton has been killing it lately. I feel like the speed at which they're rolling out new features and products has really picked up over the last year or so.

First off, I'd normally ask this question on a datahoarding forum, but this one is way more active than those and I'm sure there's considerable overlap.

So I have a Synology DS218+ that I got in 2020. So it's a 6 year old model by now but only 4 into its service. There's absolutely no reason to believe it'll start failing anytime soon, and it's completely reliable. I'm just succession planning.

I'm looking forward to my next NAS, wondering if I should get the new version of the same model again (whenever that is) or expand to a 4 bay.

The drives are 14 TB shucked easy stores, for what it's worth, and not even half full.

What are your thoughts?

I used to have both, because the beta didn't have necessary features like archive but did have threaded convos. Now "both" of my Proton Mail apps are the same app but I have 2 icons. They both open the same thing.

I'm happy to adopt a new podcast app if it has sponsorblock natively or through a plug-in. Otherwise let me know if there's some other way to make it work. I don't see why it wouldn't work as all of the segments tagged for skipping are crowdsourced which would also work for Podcasts.

I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....
