Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋

Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.

Have a day!

  • FYI: the people in here recommending the open source competitors for Yubico aren’t mentioning one thing: YubiKeys, being proprietary, support a proprietary protocol called Yubico OTP in addition to the FIDO authentication protocol that the open source competitors can do.

    The reason this matters is that some applications, like the Linux Bitwarden desktop app (there are others, but this is one that I’ve had to deal with), don’t support FIDO authentication, but do support Yubico OTP. This means that, for those apps, the open source keys wouldn’t be a valid authentication method.

    Granted, the number of applications like this are small, and probably grows smaller by the day, but it’s an important distinction to be aware of.



  • Yes. The US is also authoritarian. Yes, there is a clear media bias when it comes to the headlines that western media outlets are willing to run. In particular, painting non-western countries as more authoritarian than the US (which is sometimes true).

    It’s valuable to point this out. Dog knows the shitty media bias bots used in other communities won’t.

    However, the overall tone of your comment seems to suggest that it’s okay for non-western governments to do authoritarian bullshit, just because the US does. I trust that wasn’t the point of your comment, but I assume that’s why some may not take kindly to it.

    For what it’s worth: my instance disables down votes, so I literally can’t down vote posts I disagree with.


  • Why Haptic

    We built Haptic to make markdown writing simpler and more accessible. We believe that many existing editors are too complex for simple use cases and day-to-day note writing, so we decided to fix that.

    What Makes Haptic Special

    1. Ready to Use: Open Haptic and start writing. No setup needed.

    2. Simple Design: Clean interface so you can focus on your writing.

    3. Write Anywhere: Use Haptic on any computer with internet. Great for public or work computers where you can’t download software.

    4. Made for Everyone: If other editors feel overwhelming, you’ll like Haptic.

    5. Open Source: Self-host your own instance, giving you full control over your setup.


    Haptic is all about making writing easier. We’ve left out extra features to keep things simple and help you get your ideas down without fuss.

    Note: If you’re looking for a markdown editor with plugin systems, complex setups, or feature-packed interfaces, Haptic might not be for you. But if you want something straightforward that just works, give Haptic a try!















  • You say that as if companies haven’t been imposing greedflation/shitflation on everyone for many years.

    Voting with your wallet isn’t an effective means by which to motivate a company to do anything. You’re just a drop in the bucket, so your distaste for a company will never influence their behavior. You know what does? Shareholders.

    Thankfully, Proton is moving away from that harmful influence by becoming a non-profit, so that will be less of an issue for them and they can focus on delivering services that users actually want instead of shoveling in anti-features and forcing arbitrary price-hikes on their customers like most for-profit companies do.
