A few months ago, a Session update logged me out. I tried to log back in, but my passphrase caused Session to crash. I tried the Play Store version, the F-Droid version, and the desktop version.

Support told me that login method had been around for a while, and I didn’t know it. So suddenly, I was locked out and couldn’t access MY ACCOUNT. I used to promote Session, but since their support response was basically a big “fuck you,” I say “fuck you too,” and I hope people switch to SimpleX.

I used to use AdNauseam a while back, until ads started to show suddenly. So I switched to UBlock Origin, and ads stopped to show again.

After I read your comment, I disabled UO and installed AN again. Maybe some update fixed the issues. But it didn't. I'm now back using UO again.

Foobar2000 4 years ago

I like Quodlibet, but I had to switch to Foobar2000 in my working laptop (Win10) because some library wasn't working properly.

On my personal laptop (PCLinuxOS), Quodlibet is working fine.

Both audio players are pretty bare bones until you start to customize them with their add-ons.

They had a very popular workout called "Batman", but DC send a copyright infringement claim.

That's why I started to follow them. There is no such thing as bad publicity. LMAO

Agree, I was in denial for years trying to "correct" my flat feet with minimal shoes (plus focusing in my running technique), arc strengthening exercises, stretches, and so on. But I never was able to run past 3k without knees pain.

Then I bought cheap insoles with arc support and the next run I was able to run 6k without any issue.

I'll never will be an elite runner. But at least I can go outside and enjoy a good sweat in the park time to time.

I still using my Sony Smartwatch 2 (2014), not even changed the wristband. The only thing is lack of software updates and support.

Sony made very good hardware. But they are not good updating their software. Just like the Sony Xperia Play, they don't even upgrade their Android version when they could.

My first impression was "D'uh", but then, from the article:

Vegans avoid animal products. For strict vegans this means avoiding honey because of the exploitation of bees. That seems to imply that vegans should also avoid vegetables like avocados that involve exploiting bees in their production.

I'm not vegan, so I don't know how deep they are involved in "not animal exploitation" even is not obvius nor direct
