Games to play on a 12h flight?
I’d say 12 hours is a great amount of time to get into either Breath of the Wild (if you haven’t played it yet), or else Tears of the Kingdom (if you’ve played BotW).

Why I Lost Faith in Kagi
My 100-search trial expired this week and I was literally planning on subscribing later tonight. This has made me think twice.
But it takes me back to why I tried Kagi in the first place: What else can I use that respects privacy?
I don’t think any of them do completely. DuckDuckGo uses Bing, so is Microsoft; Google is… well, Google; Brave is apparently really shady; I’ve never thought much of the results from Bing directly. Startpage seemed ok but apparently uses Google.
What else?
I also like something to be integrated into the browser. As a Mac user, I can’t add new search engines to Safari (and have actually switched to Orion, but may now switch to Firefox or back to Safari).

1Password vs BitWarden
Reply in thread
And this is why I love places like Lemmy. Balanced, different opinions 🙂
I personally have no issues with 1Password (except that v8 is Electron), but just tempted to try the alternatives given how strong a following Bitwarden appears to have.
Either way… it’s good to have options.

Ah that’s a shame. What about Mario Odyssey? Another superb game with lots to do.
Otherwise I guess something like the GTA Trilogy, TMNT: Cowabunga Collection.
All depends what kinds of games you like though, I guess.

Which privacy-focused search engine are you using?
Reply in thread
I’m seeing a lot of love for Kagi as well. Not sure I’m quite ready to have to pay for search results, but I fully appreciate people that do. I have lots of subscriptions already and am trying to reduce them (i.e. self-hosting Vaultwarden as a replacement for 1Password).

Yeah I know they’re all based on one of three, but they are all subtly different in what they offer.
So whilst there are three main engines, there are definitely more than three choices.
Bottom of the pile for me is Chrome - I don’t use anything Google knowingly/willingly.

Any good Lemmy clients for iOS yet?
These are the ones I’m testing via TestFlight…

I’m slowly getting used to it but i feel it’s worth the move

Yep another Memmy user here. Also an Apollo subscriber, and Memmy feels as close to that experience as I’ve found so far. Also tried to get onto the Mlem TestFlight but it was full.

Thanks. I’m tech savvy so that’s not a problem. Just always used 1Password based on recommendations. More than happy to go open source, and 1Password 8 feels like a step backwards from 1Password 7.

The Apple integration is probably the main reason I use Safari I think; the likes of Apple Pay, Touch ID/Face ID all just works. I’d love that ability in Firefox and then I’d probably use it exclusively.

1Password vs BitWarden
You’re all awesome. So much feedback for me to work with.
I’d say the vast majority are recommending Bitwarden (or Vaultwarden should I want to self host), with lots of shoutouts for 1Password as well. Honourable mentions for KeePass as well as a few others.
I’ll continue to run Bitwarden in parallel to 1Password for a little while longer to see if I prefer one over the other. I’ll definitely look into self hosting it as well, although I don’t currently have a domain name so would either have to get one or do the slightly more convoluted method of getting self-signed certificates.
Thanks all for taking the time to indulge me — very much appreciated.

Haha I hear you re: the old people. My parents use a notepad, and they scribble out old passwords and write down the new ones. It’s beyond archaic. And my dad has dementia which is just a recipe for disaster.
I’ve added them to my 1Password family and setup a separate vault for them to use, and I have a few of their key passwords shared with my vault in case they lock themselves out of important accounts.
But I’m sure if I did decide to switch to Bitwarden I could move them over pretty easily.

Because it’s now an Electron app on macOS and — in my personal view — Electron apps suck. Much prefer native apps.
Functionality-wise it’s the same, but just doesn’t feel as nice to use, if that makes sense.

Now you may have me there. Visual Studio Code is certainly an exception, I’d be willing to admit.

Transfer cash from Apple account?
Reply in thread
No, we don’t have Apple Cash here in the UK for some reason.
If I go to the App Store on either my iPhone or Mac and click on my profile pic, I can see I have a balance. Because I selected Apple Store credit when I traded in my Mac it just credited my Apple ID with money.
If possible I’d like to transfer it out of there, to buy software directly from the respective websites for Swish and Transmit.

Apple’s new iPhone 15 Pro gets new chips, better cameras, and a titanium frame
Pro models actually got a price decrease in the UK, unless I’m missing something.
Now I just need to decide whether to match my phone to my watch and get the natural titanium, or whether to go for the blue.
Oh, and, Pro (like usual) or Pro Max (seems a bit big!).

Open Google Docs in Word?
Reply in thread
Thanks, that did the trick. A combination of removing /mobilebasic from the end of the URL and requesting the desktop version of the site opened the full document. Doesn't really work well on a mobile screen, but in the odd occasions where I need to update a document quickly and on-the-go, this will work. Thanks a lot!

How do you organise your library?
Reply in thread
Maybe I am. It’s just things like, for example, Batman.
You have the Michael Keaton version and the Robert Pattinson version, so it’s just ensuring the ‘89 version displays before the ‘22 version (as an example).
Then you have The Dark Knight which would show under “D”, whereas Batman Begins appears under “B”, so not together. I got around it by just numbering them sequentially under the Sort Title. But it does break the alphabetical display.
Yes, I’m anal about my library 🙂
