Unintentional dickhead. Tech lead at an e-commerce company (but this profile is personal, blah blah blah). Theme park nut, rower, comedy fan, like a bit of gardening and baking (not at the same time, nobody wants muddy cakes or floury flowers). Quite sweary. Also available on Bluesky and Instagram, sporadically posting to whichever I'm most in the mood for. Neurospicy/Gay-Ace-ish.

Regexes, I've had a few...

Giving Waterfox a try - remembered that I'd downloaded it about a week ago but got distracted before installing it.

Pretty seamless import from Firefox - had to re-add my extensions but that was about it.

The answer is: it disables the account, rather than downgrading it. Which is fine, everything is backed up and it gives me the motivation I needed to migrate things across to other services. Authenticator still works, though I shifted everything to Authy last night.

Today's the day my paid Google account expires.

Have backed everything up, so whatever happens I don't lose anything.

Not entirely clear if it'll just downgrade me to a free account or wipe it completely, but it's no great loss one way or another.

Just spent a frustrating hour moving my 2FA codes from one app to another. Some sites make the process way easier than others. Some make it incredibly frustrating (*cough*LinkedIn*cough*) and some just don't work at all (*cough*Facebook*cough*)
I live in continued hope that one catch-up streaming service will implement the "I am an adult and I have no kids, so stop prompting me to confirm I don't want to set up a parental lock every time I play a programme" feature.

Firefox + Mac experts - any way to remove items from the address dropdown? Evidently at some point I've clicked a link from something that's added this useless (i.e. it doesn't go to a valid page) address and it's always top when I start typing "maps".

All the instructions I've found seem to assume you're on Windows, or involve nuking the entire history.

sometimes the internet's alright.
I don't know if it's just that I'm quite new to using it, but I find a lot of the Github UI pretty unintuitive.
My favourite sort of on-call false alarm automated alerts are ones for a service that doesn't even exist any more.
