This is partly why it's been so hard for me to leave my job, haha; my higher-ups fully let me create, find, and/or use any tools I prefer to get the job done.

Ha. Ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Nope, though that'd be awesome!

Yes, it is criminal that this isn't in OP's S-Tier.

Geez, the half-color clicking is really counterintuitive. Why couldn't they just go with radio buttons or something?! Thanks for the detailed instructions.

Interesting, I'd heard of the name but never looked into it. Is it better than Syncthing or is that simply what you tried first and have been fine with?

I had no attachments, imported effortlessly, and have been loving KeePassXC!!! Thanks!

Off-topic: do you have a guide on how to get uMatrix to do this blocking? That sounds great but it looks to be all manual. Do you run it with uBlock Origin?

It didn't look outdated to me, but is kind of weird and hard to get used to, though I eventually did. I don't know how to make an export from Bitwarden to take into KeePassXC, though... I'll need to look into this. Perhaps it can't be done from the browser alone. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

What game of the 2020s do you think that will top the "best games of the decade" lists in 2030? in c/[email protected]

I could not figure out how to get off the water world. My spaceship was stuck in the trees and I just spun in water spouts. It was really annoying and not fun at all, so, yes, the fact that I couldn't get my spaceship back up in the air was definitely a gate. What was I supposed to do in that situation?

FOSS alternatives to Syncthing? (beehaw.org)
 

Other than having to make a workaround by creating an auto-syncing script through at least, like, probably 2 other apps... hmm...

I'm building a family tree through LibreOffice Draw (beehaw.org)
 

I didn't know that the connectors automatically draw lines from box to box! For years, I'd been seeking software that could do this. The line-connecting behavior is a bit weird and unpredictable, but it's still fun!

Risks associated with linking Amazon Prime and Epic Games accounts (I know, I know...) (beehaw.org)
 

I'm mightily tempted, finally, by this month's Prime subscription's giveaway of the game KeyWe, which requires Epic Games account-linking.

I'm not really sure of what data risk to expect should I finally expose my real Amazon account to Epic Games (which is pretty much a dummy account that I've only been using to collect their giveaways ever since they began). I have refused to link accounts all these months so far. What do you think?

Best Android spreadsheet editor? (beehaw.org)

I tried Collabora on a Galaxy Droid and it was such a massively buggy disappointment: in a .ODS file, I couldn't backspace more than once; I could only delete one character at a time. I had to enter another character or move the cursor or do something else before it would take another backspace. I don't understand how this app has as high reviews as it does, or no one has used its spreadsheet editor.

I so far can't get away from Google Drive because tables are absolutely critical to my work... Any ideas to help de-Google would be deeply appreciated!

Update: The search continues, as ONLYOFFICE did not work out either and similarly had file-editing problems. For now, I've resorted to .TXTs...

Can't download Signal fork Molly (beehaw.org)
 

Their website says to get it on F-Droid: https://molly.im/download/fdroid/

But it's not on there. Did it get delisted for some reason?

How do you handle your passwords? (beehaw.org)
 

I rely on Bitwarden (slooowly migrating from... a spreadsheet...) and am thinking of keeping a master backup to be SyncThing-synchronized across all my devices, but I'm not sure of how to secure the SyncThing-synchronized files' local access if any one of my Windows or Android units got stolen and somehow cracked into or something. I'm curious about how others handle theirs. Thanks in advance for sharing!
