this is such a mess, holy shit

and only on .com? I have some very pointed questions about the maturity of the verification program/design

also, how are you liking bitwarden?

I really need to kill off my current password manager and bitwarden's looking like the least worst of current options (esp. when paired with something like vaultwarden instead of running a fucking nodejs sync server on the internet), but also some of it seems quite stunted[0]

it's gotten so bad that I've started pondering writing my own, because good god does basically every option out there depress me

[0] - no global hotkeys? the fuck

last time it came up, tuta was the least worst of the mail options. it's not the same offering as proton's in-garden encrypted, but nothing is afaik. rest of it is pretty okay (I have some (not all[0]) domains on there)

the rest of the things I don't have a direct recommendation in part because [0] and in part because I don't use computers entirely like how a lot of people do. that said

storage: backblaze storage pricing is not bad. they might have a desktop app thing? calendar: caldav is a dark art beyond my ken - I haven't even got that shit playing nice on my own things[3]. fuck knows who does this well. vpn: mullvad[1] (has quite recently had another full assessment published). maybe njalla[2]?

[0] - I'm one of those crotchety fuckers that still has a whole pile of self-hosted things that have been going 15~20y

[1] - seems okay and to have their head on straight. haven't used myself.

[2] - also haven't used it myself, comes from some of the folks of the TPB gang

[3] - admittedly I haven't tried that hard because I don't need it much, but it is extremely goddamn annoying to debug from clients

maybe that’s how the moon got mad - annoying goddamn chatbots flying in its view the whole time

mild guess: "golden boys, with the the 30+ years required to look Politically Evolved"? and of course the selection factors involved from even just getting to that point and the stylist/image handling that that involves

there's also an element of the system does as designed, and there's an element of self-reinforcing delivery/production of these ghouls

yep I think so too. as I think I posted here a while back:

ah but did you tell them in CP437 or something fancy (like any text encoding after 1996)? 🤨🤨🥹

I fucking love how goddamn structured kym is ito semiotics and symbolism

it's an amazing confluence that might not have happened if persons unknown didn't care, but they did. and thus we have it! phenomenal
