On macos, when I'm uninstalling apps, here's what I do:

1. Open AppCleaner[0], select app, then select all the files associated. Don't use AppCleaner yet (especially to uninstall). Keep the window and the files selected open

2. Using Finder, move the app from Applications folder to the trash (so the application removal scripts run smoothly)

3. Switch back to the AppCleaner app, and click remove to remove all the associated files.

4. Empty trash

5. Open "Find Any File"[1] app. Then search for the app name (ie: Notion). Remove all the results. Warning: Be careful when removing files of certain apps with generic names that might exist within the system files (for example, when removing GeforceNow, don't try to delete the MacOS system files named as Nvidia). Usually anything in the /Users/$USERNAME folder is safe to delete. 6. Empty the trash again 7. Restart the computer

Edge cases:

1. If the app is not installed or uninstalled correctly, before all these steps, first re-install the app again, then try uninstalling.

2. If a system service (extensions) cannot be deleted, first follow the steps above and then login to safe mode and delete the system extension files manually.

As a frequent traveller I can say Google Maps (offline mode) sucks!

If you are fully offline, then it works as intended.

However, if you have even a tiny bit of connection, even if your connection is spotty or very slow, Google Maps refuses to use its offline data, crippling the experience and making it unusable.

I agree with the sibling comment. When I travel, I usually use 3 apps and download the offline maps of the regions I visit: Apple Maps (for iOS apps and embedded features), Google Maps, and thank god: Organic Maps.

I guess EU etc.. is too busy picking up on Apple and overlooking such shit from Google and MS.

> The letter Ü is present in the Hungarian, Turkish, Uyghur Latin, Estonian, Azeri, Turkmen, Crimean Tatar, Kazakh Latin and Tatar Latin alphabets

I see and generally agree with your point, however that "no one" is approx. 120 million people. Just saying.

Because with Liverpool you will never walk alone ;)

Am I the only one who thinks BuyMeACoffee's defense always mentions keep paying to "Ukrainians", but not "Ukraine", potentially meaning the Ukrainians outside Ukraine, not in?

+1 I dont understand why Macos cant be more like iOS

Don't pay attention to this comment by this obvious Russian propagandist. (See his previous messages)

Estonia was first invaded by Soviets, then Nazis, then Soviets again, because even though Estonia didn't want to participate in either side, Soviets said not choosing a side means choosing enemy's side and they used this as an excuse to invade a fully-independent country.

Also, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov–Ribbentrop_Pact for how Soviets and Nazis planned together the invasion of baltics and Eastern Europe.

I generally understand the idea of being less complaining and more pleasant better for yourself and others; but especially from the second half of the writing I got the feeling that the writing suggests no complaining at all. I am all for in for good complaining: shouldn't we complain about the actual bad things? If someone is evil, or complaining about dictators.. And the examples he gave particularly sounds like the author(s) is in for shittification and blackwashing.

> There are entire YouTube channels dedicated to complaining about Disney’s Star Wars. When the video game Assassin’s Creed: Shadows was announced, thousands of people spent large chunks of their lives whining about it online.

> Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania were always part of "Russia"

No it wasn't. Here's a quick timeline of Estonia.

   1219–1346 (127 years): Danish Kingdom
   1346-1561 (215 years): Livonia, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
   1561–1710 (149 years): Swedish Empire
   1710–1917 (207 years): Russian Empire
   1944–1991 (47 years): Soviets

> E.g. movie Tenet starts from depicting a scene from "Russian life": under a low sun, in freezing cold, dirty hungry Russians are crawling in the dirt gathering "pieces of Uranium" with their bare hands.

Your very own directors depict it this way, mainly Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev or Stalker.

The last good thing Gandi did for me is to convince (more like force) me to migrate to Fastmail. I wish I've done that before.

I thought they already had another excuse: "macroeconomic factors and the market"? Or is it only used for when firing people or not increasing salaries?

Care to provide details or source?

I did not understand the use case here. Could you please explain further?

I have been using NextDNS for many years now, but I didn't get why I should use Tailscale.

... and requires JavaScript to run.

I heard of porkbun as well, but haven't tried yet. Seems like all in one.

So far my registrar is Gandi (don't have enough reason to change it), DNS server is CloudFlare, websites are GH pages and mails will be FastMail so it seems.

Update: In the afternoon I regained access and mails are restored.

All my mails seems to be gone.

I was just able to access both IMAP and Roundcube (webmail.eu.com), and my archive folder with years of folder does not exist at the moment.

I see only 2 emails in the inbox, nothing else. There are no other mailbox folders besides from inbox either. All gone.

I was planning to migrate to Fastmail but I'm curious, how is Fastmail's uptime/service health? It'd be great if their long time customers can share their experience.

I keep hearing about Matrix (protocol) for a long time now.

Wikipedia says [0] it was started 10 years ago. I wonder what's the hold up?

Could someone help me understand why this was flagged? (I have no affiliation and I never heard of them until I saw this post)

> The two tools consist of a comprehensive ruleset for Semgrep and Opengrep designed to detect malicious code patterns with minimal false positives and PRevent, a GitHub-integrated scanner, that detects and alerts on suspicious code in pull requests (PRs).
