That first middle finger went up in 2020 and never came down.

Haven’t heard of this before, but the nomachine domain is in the ublock badblock list. Wonder why.

I’m referring to the person you replied to, who communicated a lack of ability to audit the code while you honed in expressly on laziness.

You have made a couple leaps in judgment here; I also said nothing about my use or disuse of FOSS projects.

Lack of knowledge isn’t laziness. I couldn’t security audit the code even with the right amount of available personal bandwidth.

I absolutely love this tool. Thank you for your work.

I will pour one out when the day comes for me to switch to podcheck.

That’s been there for at least a year, from my recollection.

I have written with a healthy helping of dashes for a long time (regular ass - unless auto-correct switches it to an em-dash. This AI proliferation of em-dashes (and people’s awareness of it) means I get over-scrutinized 😟

I originally started with Tuta and I found it too frustrating to use. The UI is lacking, notifications wouldn’t come in for extended periods (as it doesn’t use play services), and frequently, when opening the application, it would tell me I’m offline and disconnected and take a considerable time before eventually refreshing itself and showing me the contents of my inbox.

I went on the hunt trialling alternatives, including Purely mail, Infomaniak and Mailbox.org, but ultimately landed on Fastmail despite it being a more costly option.

Fastmail is just slick in its offering. I’m a heavy label user and the UI and UX just works for me. The ease of creating masked emails has me using that feature more than I ever thought I would.

It can still work on an IMAP connection but gives you the usual label to folder oddities, but I’m fine with their app offerings on Android/iOS/Linux/Windows.

The downsides are its cost and being hosted in a five-eyes country.

Huh. The scan just fails but presumably because of my geoblocking rules.

II don’t believe he is affiliated with Futo anymore.

I’ve given this app a go and like it. I’ve been on the search for a replacement to obsidian, but haven’t landed on anything yet. Is built in sync on the roadmap?

I like Obsidian storing everything as markdown files that I can edit outside of the application. I’m not so much a fan of the do-it-yourself obsidian live sync because it’s a fairly fragile setup and involves updating plugins and settings across multiple vaults and multiple devices.

Affine and Trillium go the database route. They are both decent (though affine handles tables poorly, while trillium’s mobile PWA UI has navigation issues), but with both I have real difficulty importing an Obsidian vault keeping the folder structure and images intact.

I would totally expect this of Boox, but am curious to know the examples. Do you have any you could share?

Oh, that’s a hot tip. I didn’t know the watches could handle tap to pay independent of the phone.

… Though I’m awaiting a new pebble, not sure I’d like to dual wield watches.

Ah fair. All I get is “not available in my region”.

Sure, it is a step away that carries friction for me.

But you’re speaking in absolutes and blanketing “every step”.

I’ve taken many steps away from Google that were not “painless”.

There are always trade offs.

I would love to main a Linux phone, as I’m sure many here would. But the present trade offs are too great.

NFC payments are extremely convenient, especially when managing multiple cards - some of which are virtual. It’s a service I had, then went without for awhile, and then appreciate having back again.

I understand my initial comment makes it seem like I never carry a wallet true - which is not true - and liking Google Wallet is akin to saying “but I just like smoking” (in this community).

It’s great that you don’t find it as convenient, which means the trade off isn’t as substantial for you. However for my 5 days a week commuting it’s a load off.

No one said it did? It’s a service that I find great value in, and one that I had given up for a time and enjoy having access to again.

Everyone has their limit, this one is presently mine.
