There's nothing wrong with that.

There is.. we don't need to see the exact same front page articles each week - it reduces the signal to noise ratio for regulars.

[jagged-chisel → nullandvoid]

Then don’t upvote it. No sense in complaining about what hits the front page - it’s decided by votes of visitors.

That XKCD really only applies to interesting things, and OP doesn't really cut it.

On: Warp sends a terminal session to LLM without user consent

[coldtrait]

Yea, I feel the same. I'm basically a noob compared to most power users here, and while I do prioritize privacy in many other areas, warp has been super powerful for me. One of the things that I use it for it to find out old unused files on my system and ask it to examine them and suggest if they can be deleted. It's very convenient.

On: My inbox is a mess from signing up for everything. How do you handle it?

[coldtrait]

I have the opposite problem. My inbox is overoptimized and clean, and I get no emails. Anyway, the usual suggestions have been mentioned already - like going through older emails and cleaning. This extension also works:

You get a few free attemps to clean emails. You can even just use it to search for subscriptions and delete manually.

Isn't that to transfer wirelessly to devices?

I only use viber because it is the only alternative for using TrueCaller in my country (India) that I know of.

[coldtrait]

Just tried it but it fetched ingredients in what appears to be french for some reason?

[d3r1ck → coldtrait]

Hi, it was a bug that I just fixed, could you let me know which recipe link you used, i'll remove it from cache so you can run it again. Thanks for trying out the app!

I will try with something else.

The entire javascript ecosystems since the advent of node.

[coldtrait]

Can you explain what stack you use to build it? Do all of them support it easily?

I’m using Keycloak as my auth server. Took a bit to figure out the configuration necessary.

Tbh I don’t feel like most providers (including Keycloak) are offering strong, turn-key solutions for this.

The closest I saw to streamlined passkey support that you can host yourself is from Hanko.io - that provider didn’t work for my use case but something to consider.
