With Bard still not available in Canada, I hope Gemini could.

This is exactly the same as mine. I never found any with this situation. Even if someone claims to have tinnitus, it's a different variation.

My feeling is, for a lack of better word, grateful, (definitely not a good thing for your or me) that I finally found someone the same as mine.

Next time I ever want to see a doctor again for this (not helpful btw, they don't really have cure or seem to understand my situation), I will just show your comment!

I don't think this is surprising. Many Chinese do so as well because they are educated that westerners put the first name first, so they follow the Western convention for English names.

Edit: cellphone keypad

I am same there (using KDE Plasma with global menu). Recently, with VSCode's menu on title bar, it seems to have started a trend doing so. For example, JetBrain's IDEs are also designed that way. I found the term for that, it's called LIM (locally integrated menu). Now, Unity has done that many years ago. If I remember correctly, the behavior was: when maximized, it behaves like a global menu; when not, it's a LIM.

Fortunately, there's a PR for implementing such things in KDE Plasma. Here is the discussion [1]. Right now, you can use it, but it probably won't be merged into the main branch soon.

PR: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/breeze/-/merge_requests/126

There's also a KDE theme the PR draws inspiration on (which you can use for KDE now): https://github.com/Zren/material-decoration

That's exactly what the Soviet era was. Say you work in a hospital, you would be living within 10 minutes walk away from your office. You will eat in the hospital cafeteria. Your kids will go to the hospital-sponsored schools. Unsurprisingly, your neighbors will be your coworkers. Your kids' friends will be your coworkers' kids. Life is simple and efficient but there some other downsides that's probably not relevant here.

I have been using Lepton since the beginning. Currently browsing this page with Lepton! Thank you for making the theme and a detailed history of FF theme.

Any chance the app you used is under xwayland? I am asking because Firefox under xwayland has auto-type working.

KeePassXC 2.7.0 4 years ago

I am using both KDE and GNOME. When Firefox is under xwayland, it works. When switched to wayland, it stops working.

KeePassXC 2.7.0 4 years ago

Yeah, I had this fear when I migrated but I asked a friend who had used it for years and he said it was rare for him. Let's see how it goes.

Sorry for the late reply. BitWarden is great. I really don't have anything to complaint (before BitWarden, I was using browser built-in password manager). However, I changed. I start to value the following:

1. I need a tool that can save not just password, but something more general. For example, a desktop software credential (with BitWarden, I need to open a browser or electron app to do that). Another example would be a PIN required each time I use the voice mail. Or certain PIN for my bank accounts (not the one used to login the online banking). I am aware you can save them in the note section, but it feels better when you can customize these fields. These non-password secrets used to be saved in plain text scattered around in various files on my PC. Now I have a centralized and organized access.

2. I know that with some configuration you can have self-hosted BitWarden vault. But I think KPXC + whatever_file_sync_app is simpler.

3. I actually started using KeePassXC because IT forced me so. I hated it initially, but later discovered it's actually a great tool for managing secrets in general.

4. HN Syndrome: preferring "native" app than web/electron.

KPXC is brilliant. Recently I switched to it from BitWarden and I am satisfied. The only issue for me is the autotype support on Wayland (it's not there yet; currently only able to auto fill password and username for xwayland app).

My guess is probably the QuickJS has less resource usage compared to the more performant V8.

UPDATE: Now I have read the linked article, here is the reasons (copied from the article):

API and integration principles are close to what TIScript uses – it took me just 1 month to add QuickJS to Sciter core. And 4 months more to expose HTML/CSS runtime to JS.

Relatively compact implementation – QuickJS is slightly more fatty (by 100 kb) but still in acceptable range. For the note: full version of V8 is about 40 mb – 5 times larger than Sciter itself;

Liberal MIT license. Sciter cannot use GPL/LGPL code – many customers expressed this requirement;

Readable source code. Well… almost readable.

It says it's using Skia for Linux. I am wondering since Skia isn't bound to any platform, why not just use it for all platform?
