There are 10,000+ roundabouts in the US and the number is growing rapidly. One could argue they may even be overused in certain areas (exhibit: Carmel, Indiana).

As an update, I found that some of my issues were due to some bug in FileVault. My Spotlight would seemingly stop working altogether. The only solution was to toggle FileVault off/on.

I am using my mac with an LDAP (AD) user account, so I am possibly in the minority of people here.

I use Mail.app on macOS as my daily these days, and it’s somehow even worse than this. Especially the search function, which works in even more bizarre ways.

It’s truly amazing that we have seemingly regressed in basic desktop functionality since the early 2000’s.

Everything Apple does seems to be designed to drive hardware sales. Why support external drives, when you can be up-sold for larger internal storage (at a huge markup)? The "Photo Library" could simply be a database file with references to photo locations, alas that might confuse Mac/iOS user with "files" vs "photos".

My count might include additional elements from going through signup flow with their bank connection providers.

My lists are:

  - uBlock
  - EasyList
  - EasyPrivacy
  - Online Malicious URL Blocklist
  - Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list
  - uBlock filters – Annoyances
  - AdGuard Annoyances filter
  - pl: Oficjalne Polskie Filtry

> There's some analytics from Tiktok, Clarity, Reddit and Spotify

Yeah, if my bank started embedding those on their account page, I would GTFO.

I would love to use and pay for your service, but it's inexcusable than a service that charges $100+ / year has so many trackers that uBlock shows 87 elements blocked just in the account signup flow (/signup/connect-spending-account).

A financial info aggregator is the one place where I would appreciate NOT having my data and behavior exfiltrated to third parties.

Indeed I did, thanks!

Is there any reason this would not work on a Mac and iterm2? I get the initial encryption effect, but sadly, no decryption :). I tried different fonts and iterm2 settings to no avail. I guess I could try the ncurses option, but curious to see this not work natively.

Edit: as helpful comments below me explained, you either have to press another key to decrypt, or launch it with the `-a` option.

Really cool design, the Milkdrop tab is a nice touch! I found some of the stations to be perfect as background tunes while working.

It is an open secret that criminal groups also pay unscrupulous T-Mobile employees to assist with SIM-swap attacks. I am not sure at what scale this happens, as those instances _should_ be easy to trace and prosecute. But I have seen evidence of criminals reaching out and offering "side work" on the T-mobile subreddits, as an example.

In those cases, hardware keys for employees would not help.

This is a terrible decision just from the optics perspective - alienating those who are more likely to be power users.

But how many people do they seriously expect to install the official Twitter app instead? I, for one, will not; as the privacy page on the App Store basically makes me "steer clear".

Whatever percentage of 3rd party clients they get to switch over seems like a rather dubious trade-off to all of the bad press, and the terrible manner in which this was executed.

> Steam might not be perfect, but compared to any other option I can think of it's not only better, but far, far better.

What about GOG? Their client is optional, you can download full installers for offline archiving, no DRM.

First option that comes to mind that is clearly superior.
