ffpip··on Opera, Brave, Vivaldi to ignore Chrome's anti-ad-blocker changes (2019)
They are more common when using trackers and analytics (in the title of both the articles I linked), which you don't "see", unlike ads. It happens in the background
ffpip··on Opera, Brave, Vivaldi to ignore Chrome's anti-ad-blocker changes (2019)
Ad domains being cloaked through CNAME records is really common nowadays (actively used by Adobe, Criteo and Eulerian, etc), and most analytics and ad software providers employ these tactics.

ffpip··on Telegram has released user data to German Feds in multiple cases
> 0 bytes

Such a weird way of saying they haven't disclosed data. They might say they disclosed the data by writing the user's details on a piece of paper and submitting that to the government.

ffpip··on Google Authenticator Updated: Slower, Mandatory Click to Reveal
I can recommend these apps on Android (both are open source and have many features).

ffpip··on Google Authenticator Updated: Slower, Mandatory Click to Reveal
> feels noticably sluggish and that's really frustrating. Like watching your favorite desktop app get turned into an Electron monstrosity.

It sounds like it has been rewritten in flutter. The same thing happened to the Google Pay app.

I'm on v.6.23.6, maybe v.6.23 is when these changes were introduced.

Working on this suite of apps might be his day job. If he takes up a day job he might not be able to work on and maintain these many apps.

Can you develop and maintain a suite of 8-10 apps only on your free time? I was talking about how this specific developer who makes these many apps can make money, and not how you do.

You can free to change the color of the GUI in the code and build it yourself. Change the values here to your liking - https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Commons/blob/mas... .

Do you use the Pro version?

The free one hasn't been updated in a few years so is not affected by changes to Android 12.

> Having pro versions where you can change colors defeats the idea of open source

Do you have any other ways the developer can make a living?

AFAIK the pro features (excluding the closed source 3rd party SDKs) are all open source. You can build them on your own or download it off F-Droid.

I use the Gallery app and it was really the best, until the developer had to remove the hide/unhide images due to changes in Android 12 :( .

> how is it not a game of chance if you're just paying money to open a box

The player(s) you receive when you open the box is random and not known before you open the box.

They are text. If you ctrl+A, your browser will highlight them. There just seems to be some weird js that moves the text when you drag it.

ffpip··on Ask HN: Add Archive.org link in past section of HN?
> most recent, active archive entry. As far as I know, this isn't easy to determine.

https://web.archive.org/$link will always take you to the most recently archived version of the link.

Eg: https://web.archive.org/https://example.com

ffpip··on Tell HN: 1Password shares passwords you don't want shared
> What if https://bitwarden.com/ gets hacked

They only store the encrypted vaults, which is useless without your master password. So even if it is hacked, the only thing the hackers get is an encrypted blob.

> you can use that own its own without an online account.

That is because KeePassX/KeePassXC is an offline app that reads a database (.kdbx file) you have on your computer. Bitwarden is for people who want to use their password manager on multiple devices. So an account is necessary.

How do you use Keepass across multiple devices. Please don't say Syncthing cause that's not an option for most regular people. And if you use something like Dropbox, what if https://dropbox.com gets hacked?

> The fact that I have to create an account

This is for authentication (needed it for syncing it across multiple devices).

ffpip··on Ask HN: Does anyone use the next link on comments?
It would be a lot more useful if it stayed at the same position on the screen. It keeps moving to the left or right with every comment, depending on the length of the username of the person who posted the comment.

You could just keep clicking next without searching for it if it was at the same place above or beside a comment all the time.

Durov has said server code will not be open sourced since it would help countries block them more easily. They use many methods to avoid being blocked by government.
