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!

  • Ah. If we’re talking mobile, all bets are off. FIDO prompts require Apple and Google to provide the necessary APIs for third-party devs to use, and are still somewhat new. It’s likely that since iOS browsers are still just re-skinned WebKit (until the EU stuff settles and Mozilla implements Gecko on iOS), FF on iOS can leverage the OS APIs, but making it work with Gecko on Android requires more work.

    I was referring to desktop, where those limitations aren’t a hindrance.





  • 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.





  • It’s also worth noting that even Sony can’t be bothered to properly emulate the PS3, which has resulted in many PS3-era games being remade into either native PC versions, or PS4/5 titles.

    While it’s true that there are still some PS3-exclusive games that aren’t available in other formats, many of them are, so most people can get pretty far without needing PS3 emulation.

    I only bring that up for anyone that may think they need PS3 emulation, but maybe haven’t been made aware of newer remakes or native PC ports of the games they’re actually looking for.


  • 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, paining 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!
