What'd be *really* nice is if you could add that type of feed into your own #mastodon setup as an extra tab or column for easy ongoing browsing.That isn't (yet) possible, unfortunately, as far as I'm aware.But hey, next best thing, right?!

Oh, and this type of feed also doesn't seem to work with the ".rss" trick, in case you were wondering — so, alas, no setting up an RSS reader to show you different #mastodon timelines in a single consolidated place.Bah!(Reference: https://twit.social/@jr/109345573865828477)

If you use #Android alongside a #Windows, #Linux, or even #Mac computer, take note:You can easily move stuff between your devices despite the fact that they're on different platforms. You've just gotta have the right tools and tactics to do it.I put together a list of the smart sharing systems I can't live without — for beaming everything from websites to text and all sorts of files between devices, without any headaches or hassles.I hope it's useful for you, too!https://www.computerworld.com/article/3681654/android-sharing.html

Brace yourself...The long-standing chants of “Having the app store locked down is what makes iOS secure!!1!” are about to change to “Having multiple app stores shows how Apple is leading the way in choice and innovation!!1!”https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-13/will-apple-allow-users-to-install-third-party-app-stores-sideload-in-europe#apple #iphone #android #irony

@leo Congrats, chief. Hell of a run — and a new beginning, too.

Sigh. Really, #LastPass?https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/22/23523322/lastpass-data-breach-cloud-encrypted-password-vault-hackers#security #passwords

I’ve been pretty patient and understanding with the various #LastPass issues over recent months. Bad stuff happens everywhere, and it’s not *necessarily* always the associated company’s fault...

But if nothing else, the way this has been handled, with the casual weeks-later drop of disconcerting info at a time when most people are starting to tune out for the holidays and attention is at its lowest, really doesn’t make me happy. Or give me confidence in the company and how it interacts with us as customers.Much as I dread the chore of doing it, I think it’s time for me to make a change on this front.

Aaaand, the deed is done.This is one of those areas where it’s far too easy to stick with the “default” — whatever you’re already using.But the reality is that making a change really isn’t such a big deal, once you actually commit to doing it.I'd say the entire process took me less than five minutes.

I went with 1Password for now, if anyone's curious. It was between that and Bitwarden for me, but 1Password’s extra polish and capability/simplicity around sharing gave it the edge for me at the moment.That being said, both seem like very commendable options. And I’m definitely gonna remain open to reassessing and potentially switching at some point in the future.

@adam Valid points, all. 1P does take some extra precautions that give me greater confidence (e.g. https://ioc.exchange/@jpgoldberg/109559866491363046 ) — not to mention a better history, especially as of late, with both general protection and customer respect. But, yeah. There's always a tradeoff between maximum attainable security and a reasonable balance of security + comfort/convenience. Lots of personal decisions to be made around that, no doubt.

On this iPhone-focused week, I decided to write a little rant about Google's increasingly prickly Android perception problem — one that's very much connected to Apple's often-misleading marketing efforts.In short: Apple's convincing an entire generation of phone-buyers that Android is behind the times — which couldn't be much further from the truth.It's shaping up to be a pressing problem. And it's something that's increasingly critical for Google to address.https://www.computerworld.com/article/3706274/google-android-perception.html
