There’s no real point in filling this with superlatives.

@marcoarment next time you’re on KBB… https://support.1password.com/fastmail/ I was doing the auto trader, cars[.]com, etc dance last summer. Being able to go zoink all those aliases out of the sky when I was done was so satisfying.
Rob StylesDisabling copy/paste into passwords fields is a Red Flag™ that tells me your Product Owner doesn't understand security.
It leads me to wonder what other aspects of security they've fucked up.

"Pre-pandemic,~1% of all jobs posted on LinkedIn were remote. As of today, that number is ~14%...but that's not the fascinating part. What's fascinating is north of 50% of all job applications on a daily basis on LinkedIn go to that 14% of remote jobs"

The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.
The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.
People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.
If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.

Daniel FeldmanApropos of nothing in particular, if you’re interested in tracking all planes in your area without using the Internet at all, google RTL-SDR
For $30 you can get a little device that will listen to all the plane transponders
@marcoarment can I make a feature request for a “force mono” filter in the audio pipeline on a per podcast level? I don’t want to force it globally in accessibility options but enough podcasts are bad at it that I’d love to have it.
