Yep exactly this. Creating a new account is a pain in the ass. Every now and then you’ll likely still run into some annoying services that refuse to accept anything but a “well known” email provider because we live in hell. Plus you might still have some old things tied to that account that may be needed in the future.

Set up email forwarding and then just keep it around in case you need it

I didn’t even think of that but honestly yeah that’s kind of insane LMAO

Like I have no problem with appimages for smaller tools, and at least things like Shelly make maintaining them much easier nowadays, but for something like this, what the fuck

It’s also a vibecoded mess and they’re literally advertising it as such: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:k6kg5ccozcphfcmp4zyx3s64/post/3mxtzp6xtwc2u

Legitimately I’d suggest ditching it entirely, or at the very least removing any financial or personal info from your account, because this shit just screams “massive financial breach” in 3-6 months tops.

All of our work laptops just updated this month and everyone’s having all sorts of bizarre issues. My KVM switch is fucking up now but only on the work machine, my personal desktop is fine. Classic Microsoft.

Probably triple as many as they claim to have fixed

Replacing them with the email threads about it is actually so goddamn funny though.

I’ve seen one somewhere that changes AI PRs to nothing but the word “meow” which was pretty funny, but this is so much better than that

I use CoMaps for walking and for searching around, but Magic Earth’s been better for driving. It’s genuinely pretty good, but it sucks that it’s closed source and proprietary, I’ll gladly replace it with CoMaps or another FOSS alternative if one catches up.

This thread is the first I’m ever hearing of this thing and god this looks like such a mess.

For some reason this gets swept under the rug in the software space, even the FOSS world. AI coding, code reviews, etc, are no different at all than AI “art” or chatbots or whatever. People will try to claim that it’s no different than going to Stackoverflow or whatever, but these tools still utilize a fuckton of resources accelerating climate change, are built on mountains of stolen data, and Claude/ChatGPT/Github all line the pockets of fascists. The CEOs of all of these companies should legitimately be rotting in cells right now.

There’s absolute 0 ethical use of this stuff. The closest you can get is an on-device model that runs offline on local hardware, but even those are trained on absurdly massive amounts of stolen data - sure you might not be using destructive resources to run it, but it wouldn’t exist without that.

I’m currently using Collabora integrated into OpenOffice and I can’t wait to swap it out for something else in the future, supposedly OO is working on more supported options. It’s such trash.

Willingly giving Microsoft money in 2026 is insane tbh

Following for interest. It’s the most sketchy social media app I linger on to just to keep in touch with a small handful of folks. It’d be nice to find an alternative client. Last I checked I don’t think there are any revanced/morphe patches for it, though I should check that again.
