2FAS iCloud storage is not e2e encrypted: https://github.com/twofas/2fas-ios/issues/43

Yea, i was hoping for iCloud / Apple Watch support..but unfortunately:

https://github.com/ente-io/ente/issues/182

I use KOreader on a Kindle Oasis, and i just always keep Wi-Fi enabled and it works perfectly…

Also just left Proton, there are so many small issues and annoyances in their iOS/iPadOS apps;

You can’t even search the content of e-mails. Can’t increase font size (pinch to zoom sort of works, but impossible to use on a small iPhone (Max) screen). Can’t set any custom notifications. Don’t see what folder an email is stored in. I can go on forever…

And of course it’s not a native app either.

It was a great relief going back to the stock Mail app.

I’ll happily return to Proton when they fix all the issues, and it doesn’t kill my productivity anymore.

I’ve also had that bug happen, not sure why it isn’t happening anymore though…

I think it happened when not rebooting my Macbook for a long time and only with fullscreen windows, and i’d simply restart Contexts. But yea it was annoying indeed. Note that it might also be one of the many Apple macOS (api) bugs…

My take, it’s obvious that Brave is more private than Chrome - with Google being the biggest advertising company in the world;

And since “private” and “secure” are correlated…

Having tried a lot of them, Contexts is one of the best Window Switcher replacements i could find, have been using it (and Rectangle) for a long time;

It’s fast, great quick search abilities, including `fn + [key]` to quick switch (acronym), etc.

And it doesn't constantly get updates, it just does its thing and does it well.

Note that I’ve noticed that it consumes quite a bit of CPU on average over time, if you use the “monitor app/process” functionality.

(reported it to the Developer. It basically runs some `ps -a …` command every x seconds.)

Fyi regarding Bartender;

You could just use "Little Snitch", block internet for Bartender, and keep using the latest safe version for a while: v5.0.49.

Restore it from a backup if you can, and disable updates. Also, here’s the “v5.0.49” file hash:

Meanwhile, keep an eye out on how things develop...

…or alternatively simply buy a domain for 5 or 10 years.

Because this is how Apple nudges/forces people to spend money on a 3th-party app for a $xx/month subscription (of which even Apple gets 30%), obviously...

Curious whether this also happens to accounts with e2e iCloud encryption (Advanced Data Protection) enabled...

(If the rumors are confirmed and proven true, that is....)

> "If you really want passkeys, put them in a password manager you control. But don't use a platform controlled passkey store"

That is my main reason for avoiding Passkeys;

I will only use Passkeys, when i can export/backup them easily and store an offline backup, without depending on some Big Tech company or whatever. (KeepassXC can export them, but not sure if it's released and fully functional in the stable build yet.)

What also worries me however, is that apparently if i read correctly, each server/service/website can decide/restrict "which password managers/apps" are allowed to be used for the Passkeys they offer...

"I still need to move to an instance that supports longer posts, but over on that other website, I made a trilogy of posts about the iOS 17.4 EU Digital Markets Act features, and all the new systems put in place for it. I also posted them to my blog so they have a bit more permanence."

Unfortunately, Vivaldi is proprietary/closed-source... and of course, using it results in supporting the Chromium browser monopoly / Google Eco-system.

I'm in the same boat too...

One thing i'd absolutely need on a new (non-color) device is the light sensor like my current Kindle Oasis(3?) has.

The Pocketbook devices all lack one (they only adjust lighting based on time and such...)

Agree, my reasoning is the same - also for other countries like China...

I don't see any documentation at all, like what browsers are supported, etc. :/

> "You think you can protect them, but you can't."

While what you say is a good idea, i think it's not as black and white as "you can" or "you can't";

You can have some form of ... "technical protection" also, knowing it's not perfect.

@gildas Curious, is there any specific reason why singlefile-cli is not available in Homebrew on macOS ?

PS. I use SingleFile a lot, it's great... Thank you!

Does that actually work, though?

My iPhone does quite a terrible job at "optimized battery charging"...

Shame...

Also, Due syncs via iCloud, which can be e2e encrypted nowadays.

With TickTick you're storing / sharing your data with a commercial company...
