So many chunks of internet history is going straight to the bin thanks to this.

Bless their souls. I cringe whenever I have to open a Reddit page from browser. And I know that old.reddit.com won’t last forever.

I had my doubts reading that Ladybird browser announcement, but more and more I’m thinking that Mozilla is desperately chasing the gravy train that has long departed with their sugar daddy (google) laughing all the way to the horizon.

I just wish we never got to this point to begin with. We shouldn’t have trusted all our keys to a single cool startup in the early 2000s.

Very true. I’ve seen how politicians of some countries do a complete lap-dance whenever a FAANG company entertains the thought of building a datacenter in their territory.

Very unlikely to exist. Libreddit (that didn’t support user login to start with) was discontinued a while ago, and Reddit’s hostile stance on 3rd party clients in general means any project gaining prominence will get killed before they become popular. RedReader (an Android app) is only permitted to use its API for free because of public outcry due to accessibility issues involving blind users. A web frontend with user login support for Reddit will get hunted down by Reddit’s legal department if it ever reaches maturity.

Piggybacking on the comment. I also use syncthing to sync my keepass containers. Have you encountered duplication of database files (e.g. filename-sync-conflict-*), and if so, how have you solved them? I simply merge the files through KeepassXC when it happens.

Imagine yourself running a ChatGPT equivalent. Wouldn’t you be tempted to record all the weird and dangerous stuff people ask just in case law enforcement pays a visit? A person can be a privacy advocate and fight for the cause, but a company has bills to pay and investors to please firsthand.
