I’m still using sublime to this day. It keeps getting worse and falling behind VSCode with every new feature that never comes gets to it, but I have so many pet peeves with VSCode that everytime I try it I soon give up. I wish there were more options these days, but as the expected feature sets get more complex the number of options keep going down.

I hate a lot of the things that reddit has been doing but I still think not all of them are on purpose. I ran into this issue myself before it was widely discussed and my first thought was that it had simply failed to delete some comments or deleted only from some cache.

So far every exampe I’ve seen of this can still be explained by bad engineering and I see no reason to think it is “undeleting” stuff by design, since it seems to happen to very random content that has no general value (like restoring 20 random comments out of 900 that were deleted).

On a similar note, copying the password to the clipboard is the weakest link in the usage of password managers today. Everything that is running on your system has access to your clipboard content and even get notified when you copy something to it.

Your tool of choice should have an option to generate easy to read/write passphrases and you should prefer those whenever possible (without weakening the password itself), so that you can avoid moving your passwords to the clipboard whenever possible.

There was a post somewhere here on lemmy recently that inspired an idea for something like this:

An ultimate AI dominated the world and kept humans only on zoos along with all other animals. Over several generations those humans lost all knowledge and culture they had. Eventually the AI got wiped out by some natural disaster and it allowed humans to start over.
