I toss my KeePass file (encrypted database) in Google Drive.
That way I have all the convenience of syncing through the cloud, but I also get the benefit of having my database access and database storage be managed by separate companies.
If Google has a breach and my data gets leaked, sucks, but the database is encrypted so I’m good. If KeePass encryption is broken, sucks, but attackers would also have to find a way to gain access to my Google Drive.
You’re welcome! Hope it’s useful :)
Thanks for calling this out! Fixed, I hope. Wasn’t intentional.
My first sentence was:
There’s a lot of discussion around this topic, much of it good, but I feel like we’re losing sight of the forest for the trees.
As I indicate, I’ve read the discussion that was here at the time, and appreciate it. I’ve even responded to a couple of posts. In this comment, I was hoping to bring up a different angle.
If you don’t agree and/or don’t want to engage, that’s fine, but don’t assume that I’m just blindly soliciting responses without reading what people are saying.

The aim of Affirmative Action, as a policy, was to improve the following metric: “wealth of black Americans compared to wealth of white Americans”. (I’m using ‘wealth’ as a stand-in for all the good experiences we’re trying to optimize for, and ‘black’ and ‘white’ as stand-ins for the various groups at play). I think most of us agree that this was the aim of AA.
We can, of course, debate on whether AA was successful in improving this metric or not. I’m willing to concede that it may indeed have improved this metric.
But I don’t think that it’s a useful metric in the first place. And I can’t really articulate why. I’d welcome some responses to help me flesh out my thoughts.
I guess… it just seems racist to me to be comparing “oh, the Chinese group is making XYZ dollars but the Indian group is only making ABC dollars. Let’s make sure the Chinese give some of their wealth to the Indians”. That doesn’t seem to be a productive way of thinking. Who cares how much money the Chinese make compared to the Indians, as long as no individual is being treated unfairly right now.
Like I said, I’d welcome responses to help flesh out my opinions.
Agreed! I think this is generalizable to say that CSR is when you need to show “loading indicators” which is kind of annoying because… I had to send the loading indicator from server -> browser… so it was loading just to load some more.
Yeah, a few times. It was especially helpful in finding causes of subtle UI bugs, to identify the exact commit which changed the UI.
As a stadia user, I loved it.
It made gaming accessible in a way that GeForce definitely doesn’t. It felt more like a console than GeForce, which feels like… well honestly like emulation.
I think they had 3 solid strategies, each of which they fucked up in execution. First they were trying to compete against consoles (hence the studio acquisitions as they were trying to make exclusives). Then they gave up. Then they were trying to compete against steam by being a Netflix-like library online. But then they gave up. Then they tried to build a new “cloud gaming” market (maybe whitelabel to existing game companies).Then they gave up that too.
Throughout the whole time, they were great from a user perspective.
Agreed! This is annoying for me as well, but still I like it a lot. Better than Reddit, even.
This is the bug I’ve subscribed to for updates on this issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3101
It’s surprising to me that it’s not the top priority. Needs more thumbs ups!
Really? Is there any evidence for this? I imagine they’d be open to huge lawsuits if they were exposing user data to any other parties.
