I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 shortly after release and got a popup from Bing over the game asking if I wanted to enable Bing in Chrome. I immediately blocked bing.com on my network. Never looked back.

We all forgetting Maggie just straight-up murdered someone for trying to take her lollipop?

Pretty attached. My parents picked it.

If I could just be "Bill" everywhere I would but it really only works on the fediverse.

Yeah but it's free advertising on Lemmy and there's only like ten of us here.

You can still get some mechanical keyboards with numpads but not arrow keys, though since these are variations on compact layouts they tend to omit the numlock key as well.

Looks fine to me. When you type it, you see ILoveBeans42!! because it's your password, but I just see **************.

[-] Bill@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Huh. I guess you must have the same password.

Nah because if you type in your password it will show as stars.

******* see?

I downvoted the beans and I don't care who knows about it. I'd do it again.

This is useful to know though, thanks. I guess assume everything is public short of your password (unless your admin is particularly nefarious and has altered the code to store passwords in plaintext for some reason).

Relate to this? Buy two single duvets. Saved my marriage.

Yeah. I run my own FreshRSS server and use FeedMe to access it. It's mostly just a bunch of UK newspapers and tech news sites because I realised I was getting all my news from Twitter and I wanted to cut back my use of Twitter. It's fine. The great thing about getting my news from social media was that I'd follow a load of people with similar interests to me so I'd mostly just see articles that interested me regardless of the source. Now it takes more scrolling to get past the articles I don't care about to find the ones I want to read. It means I get a broader overview of news that isn't effectively curated for me, either by other people or by algorithm, but it's not as engaging. It is the right choice though if you're looking to see more outside of what you're usually shown, as you say.

Hi. The app looks great but it's unfortunately unusable with a mouse in Samsung DeX. I don't know which of those is the problem, maybe someone has a bluetooth mouse to hand and can check? It only scrolls a few pixels at a time and grabbing with the mouse cursor (so clicking and dragging) doesn't seem to work at all. Thanks.
