It's so annoying to have to discover the rules one rejected attempt at a time. Worse yet: sometimes you just get vague feedback a la "password contains illegal characters". I usually let KeePassXC generate a safe password for me but in that case I then have to manually permutate the different character classes (numbers, letters, spaces, punctuation, etc) until I find the offender. No good.
Librera Reader is a PDF // ebook reader for Android. It has a very smooth user experience and useful options. I used to have 5 or so different PDF readers installed and would pick and choose according to the task at hand but now I'm down to just 1.
A mandatory subscription is a much harsher barrier to the median user though.
We have a direct reference point for this: when Reddit began to charge for access to its API. 3rd party clients for Reddit like Apollo, RIF, Infinity, etc could have carried on by charging their users a low monthly fee in turn. The Apollo developer calculates 2.50 $/month as the additional cost to pass on. That is quite low for the potential utility you're getting if you compare it to even a cup of coffee yet still expensive enough for 3rd party apps to shut down.
Point is: many users may ultimately not care enough about the issues around censorship, botting, propaganda, hate speech or the persona of the CEO himself but once their wallets are affected its a different story.
In case your browser isn't completely locked down: there's also image editors that run as web apps like photopea.
If Pakistan becomes Bahrat India could rename itself to Pakistan. Full circle of confusion 🤯.
Das ist aber ein krasser Channel. Nichts als knappe aber gut recherchierte, informative und zudem wunderschön animierte Videos zu zeitgenössischen Themen. Kein clickbait, kein lästiges Sponsoring, kein widergekäuter content von anderen. Zudem alles auf deutsch, was ja sicherlich die Zielgruppe einschränkt.
Ein Tropfen Hoffnung für das Medienmeer.
but the proposal does not yet spell out what constitutes a violation.
and this is not a coincidence. Authoritarian states love vaguely operationalized definitions like this because it's basically a blanko check to arrest anyone at any time. And it puts the populace into a fearful, fatalist mindset of "I could be arrested at any time for bogus charges, even if I did nothing wrong."
Man am I glad that I picked KeypassXC as my password manager some years ago. Super safe, easy to use, costs nothing, not dependant on internet/cloud, can export data to another app at any time, transparent because open source.
I'm using Syncthing to synchronize across devices which arguably took some fiddling to set up but I only had to fiddle once and haven't touched the configuration since; it just works automagically in the background.
Kommt leider in der Baubranche überdurchschnittlich oft vor, dass Rechnungen erstmal nicht oder erst nach Mahnungen gezahlt werden. In der Regel trifft es natürlich eher die kleinen, die am unteren Ende der Leiter sitzen (also auch Arbeiter die auf Lohn/Bezahlung warten) und die Verstrickungen über viele Subunternehmer machen das nicht leichter. Für kleine Unternehmen die sich durch größere Vorkommen über Wasser halten führt das schnell mal zu Liquiditätsproblemen bis hin zur Insolvenz. Manchmal wissen sie sich nicht anders zu wehren wie in diesem Beispiel. Keine Ahnung ob die Geschichte so stimmt wie im Artikel, aber die Art des Problems ist sehr real.
Take a different approach: look for players also playing the same games as you. So find a community for your favorite games, be it on Discord, a website or here on the fediverse. Why would it matter specifically that they are using a steam deck? Steam Deck is treated as a PC if you are specifically worried about cross platform play. Conversely even finding others who also use a steam deck means little to you if they are into completely different games and genres.
Ich finde das eigentlich die beste inklusive Form, ist super kurz und unkompliziert. Gibt es ja auch schon etabliert für bestimmte Begriffe wie Azubis oder Studis. Höre ich auch in der gesprochenen Sprache immer öfter, zB neulich Lesis (2 Silben) gehört anstatt Leser und Leserinnen (7 Silben).
Search results being polluted by llm content is so annoying. As if all the SEO didn't do enough already to bring down overall web quality.
Recently I was searching for some technical guidance on how to do a particular thingy with the IPython coding framework and found just the right page. Except when I tried to run the examples, nothing worked because it was all made up! The entire site/domain was a collection of machine generated answers made to look like blog posts to common programming questions (which they probably scraped from some site with real human collaboration).
I can't even.
