If you have #Christian friends or family who are convinced that the Bible commands #Christians to stand with #Israel even when they are committing #IsraelWarCrimes then you should send them this. Of course they will probably reject it if their favorite TV preacher is saying something different, but at least you can try.
For #Lemmy users, I just found out that there is a way to get #RSS newsfeeds of a Lemmy community. It is easier to show an example than explain. If you would be reading the Security News community at its home site using
Unfortunately I can't find anything similar for #kbin - anyone know if it is possible to get an RSS feed of a kbin community (or "magazine" as they call it)? I looked at the FAQ by @kbinMeta but could not find anything about RSS feeds.
So apparently #1password is telling their users "1Password Classic will stop working soon. As of July 1, 2023, this extension will no longer be compatible with your browser." Now what this really means is that if you are not willing to trust their cloud-based storage you can kindly go fork yourself (also if you want to continue with 1Password you'll have to pay again to upgrade, which some users suspect was the point of all this in the first place). See this link:
So if you want to only store your passwords on your local machine (or on a server you control), the alternative you hear a lot about is #KeePassXC and that is certainly one alternative. But if you are used to 1Password you may think it ugly and clunky. It's not that it doesn't work, and I'm sure the penguin-heads out there would like it because it's quite configurable. But that also implies that it's a bit difficult to configure and the one thing you really can't configure is any kind of theme, and if ever a piece of software needed the ability to use alternate themes it is KeePassXC (did I mention it is ugly, especially on a Mac? Of course that is very much a matter of personal opinion! And yeah, what I really mean is it doesn't have the #MacOS look and feel, not in the slightest).
After trying that we started looking for other alternatives and came across #Enpass. It appears that the desktop version is free to use, but if you want it on your phone and you want to store more than 25 passwords you have to pay, and there are certain other conditions where you may want to or need to pay. But out of the box, so to speak, it looks MUCH nicer than #KeePassXC and also the operation seems a lot smoother and better integrated with #Firefox (once you add their Firefox extension).
Mainly we tried it on a #Mac but we also installed it on a #Linux box too (Ubuntu desktop). It looks and works a lot like 1Password (at least moreso than KeePassXC). I am not saying it is perfect and honestly if 1Password had not decided to tell their customers "use our cloud service or f**k off" (not exactly in that way, they are polite Canadians but that's how it comes across) we'd keep using it, but if they want to lay down an ultimatum and are willing to kick all their self-stored customers to the curb, so be it.
I know some people love cloud-based services and some people love 1Password and if that's you I will not try to change your mind. We definitely don't love cloud-based services, and those have already bitten users of some other password managers in the butt (coughLastpasscough), and I know the 1P folks seem to think their vaults are invincible, and maybe they are but we don't want to take the risk of them being wrong about that. But if you're also not willing to make that leap of faith and you just can't get into KeePassXC, then maybe Enpass would be a good alternative.
Oh and before anyone feels the need to note that the 1P classic software itself will probably continue to work for some time after July 1, that may be the case but you can see where they are headed and I'd rather move to something else before the day comes when 1P classic is no longer useable. And also I do know there are many other alternatives out there; I am not meaning to imply that KeePassXC or Enpass are your only choices. But I don't have time to look at all of them and also am not really interested in any programs that haven't been updated in years.
They released #Mona on the Apple app store yesterday and I thought I'd give it a try but for some reason all the buttons except reply are greyed out (so you can't boost, favorite, bookmark, etc.) and when I tried to send a message to the developers asking about it I was limited to maybe 100 or 200 characters, didn't count them but it was a very small amount. Maybe those are things you only get if you buy the pro version? But if so, that's not the way to induce people to buy the pro version, those things are basic to Mastodon functionality. Anyway I went back to using the web version and the only reason I haven't deleted Mona altogether is that it will let me quickly read through the timeline without showing me toots I have already seen, which is my #1 complaint about web-based Mastodon. But honestly I never paid for a Twitter app, and I am not about to pay for a Mastodon one either. So if you feel the same about not paying for a Mastodon app, you probably should avoid Mona (unless they fix this issue) because the free version is far too limited.
@Lunatech It is of course your choice to pay or not. There are a number of free apps including #IceCubes, a yearly one #Ivory and #MonaApp which is a one payment. ‘You pays your money and take your choice’ as the saying goes 😊
Apparently a lot of #ParamountPlus subscribers are unable to use the service because all they get is a blue screen. Some say they would like to unsubscribe because of this but cannot because... all they get is a blue screen!
Amazon FireTV users seem to be particularly affected, but web users are as well.
