TSB still works for now, but even for a bank they're technologically incompetent so I'm going to just assume they're behind the curve rather than willingly not using SafetyNet.
The only one I would bank on still working in the future is Monzo, since, like you say, they detect it and just give you scary warning and let you continue.
I have this set as my OS default and also forced for all webpages, I just find it so clear and easy to read. On the occasion that I have to browse the web without it, I don't struggle per-say, but I definitely find that I have to read slower, and find myself rereading words more often.
> Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you’re as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?
For me, personally, I just don't see the point of putting that same effort into a machine. It won't learn or grow from the corrections I make in that PR, so why bother? I might as well have written it myself and saved the merge review headache.
Maybe one day it'll reach perfect parity of what I could've written myself, but today isn't that day.
It's still being actively developed
These have all been running for many years and work fine, hell there's even the meme addresses at cock.li which has been running for over 10 years.
You don't need to be on a gmail account for reliable email.
Seriously, what the hell Mozilla?
What kind of software isn't working?
I'm so sick of hearing this, the current smartphone market is an american megacorp duopoly, both of whom are locking down their phones to such a degree that you cannot even claim you own the hardware anymore. There is essentially no choice.
And not buying a smartphone is not a choice either, if you want to actually exist in the modern world.
My work and personal life are separate, and deliberately so.
The main issue is that a lot of people I know need things like Photoshop or propriety CAD apps or video editing software where the alternatives are simply not acceptable - sure I can mention some OSS alternatives but it's not really my field; this is their job and they can't really take the velocity hit, or waste time finding out mid-project that it can't do what they need it to do.
That said, I worked the same way many years ago, with browser tabs and desktop sessions that were precious and I didn't want to drop them. But what I ended up realizing was that the stress of losing that state due to random power failures or software bugs was too much. I found it far better for my sanity and actual productivity to instead make sure I had a sane note taking system, where I could track what was actually important to me.
It was a great relief to my mental state and general stress to allow myself to shut down all processes and start clean every day.
Frankly I can't believe we've trained an entire generation of people that this is the key identifier for scam emails.
Because native English speakers never make a mistake, and all scammers are fundamentally unable to use proper grammar, right?
In all honestly, if you're hosting it on the internet, why is this a problem? If you didn't want it to backed up, why is it publicly accessible at all? I'm glad the internet archive will keep hosting this content even when the original is long gone.
Let's say I'd read your website and wanted to look it up one day in the far future, only to find many years later the domain had expired, I'd be damn glad at least one organization had kept it readable.
I've also heard that OnlyOffice is very good and has better compatibility with Microsoft's formats, but I've never personally used it.
If the answer is yes then it can't be done, simple as. I really don't care about anything else, you can't just break the web for people who are actively using it.
It kind of baffles me that they could even consider this, maybe I'm just naiive but the webs greatest strength has always been it's backwards compatibility; I can fire a page up written 30 years ago and it still renders (assuming it wasn't built in flash lol). Breaking the user experience like this and saying "well the owners need to update their site" doesn't work - a lot of these pages won't be actively maintained or under the control of someone who can make changes.
Regular form elements work just fine in React, all you need to do is interrupt the onInput and onSubmit handler and deal with the form data yourself. I've tried a handful of these form libraries and frankly they make everything way more complicated and painful than it needs to be.
