For me 1Password has not grown significantly in value or capabilities. I am stuck at the old version on Mac to avoid their pig electron app.

While I still depend on parts (migration is hard), the rest of the family is fully on Apple passwords.

The first time you click a Fediverse button on my site, you’ll be asked to enter your home instance — in other words, your own Fediverse server. This can be a self-hosted instance or a platform like Mastodon, Pleroma, and others.

Once that’s set, clicking on an “Also on” syndicated post link will open the corresponding URL directly inside your own Mastodon instance. From there, you’ll see it as a native Mastodon post, which means you can reply, boost, or favourite it just like any other post in your timeline.

The same logic applies to the “Fediverse” sidebar widget. It reads the instance you previously saved in your browser’s localStorage and uses it to trigger a remote follow request directly from your own Mastodon account.

@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) ⁠ Can't believe you didn't post this old meme! 😸

When I am made God Emperor, the people who design hotel bathrooms so that you cannot see your face up close in a mirror and also have somewhere to put your makeup will be piled up and set ablaze.

The scary and beautiful thing about AI is it's going to make a lot of stuff become "I can use it, but I have no idea how it works". Many more people drive cars and have no idea what happens when they press on the accelerator, I mean none at all, than know anything about it. I think that is good. Most of us go to the grocery and get food with no clue what is required to get it there. Back when the first market opened there were prob old farts cursing that people didn't know where food came from.

Dear 1Password: Just bite the bullet and say "Important: We’re increasing the cost of your subscription." Because we all know what "updating the cost" in the subject line will mean.

Also, aren't subscriptions supposed to pay for ongoing development and innovation?

Gripes aside, I like 1Password.

労働が非人間的になるのは「疎外」と呼ばれるけど、先日洪民憙さんの記事を読んだばかりだった。

Marxは『資本論』第一巻で、イギリスのラッダイト運動をこう評した。

労働者が機械そのものと機械の資本主義的利用とを区別し、したがって物質的生産手段そのものではなく、その社会的搾取形態を攻撃することを学ぶまでには、時間と経験が必要だった。

機織り機を打ち壊した労働者たちの怒りは正当だった。方向が間違っていただけだ。問題は機械ではなく、機械をめぐる資本主義的社会関係だった——機械が労働時間を短縮するどころか延長し、労働者を解放するどころか機械の付属物にしてしまうのは、機械の本性ではなく、機械を配置する方式の問題だった。Marxは彼らを嘲笑したのではなく、闘争が成熟していく過程を叙述したのだ。

Does anyone believe it's just an embarrassing coincidence that the genAI hucksters have such a baldly reductive stance on the value of human life? Do genAI users empathize with Trump's apologists?

また君が代は大切な人の長寿を願う歌というやつが例のSNSでたくさんリプついてて、たぶんAI投稿なんだけど、ついてるリプも「高校の頃にラブソングと習った」「天皇のことじゃない」「現代文で読むほうが理解できる」みたいな、たぶんこれもAIによる存在しない過去が捏造されている。与作が木を切っていたほうが、まだいくらかマシだったかもしれん。

Fediverse people: who do we like these days for buying DRM-free music in lossless format? Bandcamp is the obvious one but I know a bunch of (often artist-friendlier) alternatives got started up when BC had some ownership changes. However, I've lost track of them.
