On mobile it is the most visible object on the screen, and very annoying:

Yes, me too. I was pointing out that SL can be used without Proton Pass.

Proton provides a SimpleLogin account, which is integrated with Bitwarden, so you can get the same functionality directly with Bitwarden too.

Bitwarden also integrates SimpleLogin for one-click alias generation.

I’m in their ecosystem but specifically don’t use it, as it seems extraordinarily unsafe to put my passwords behind the same authentication that I use just to check my email.

To add onto what Andromxda said, SimpleLogin is included with your Proton account (might be paid accounts only).

Use it with a custom domain - it’s amazing and if Proton Mail ever shuts down you won’t have to migrate any of your logins because they’re already on your own domain.

The standalone Google Pay app will be shut down.

Google Wallet (which is almost certainly what you’re using) will still be functioning as normal.

And from the article in the OP:

I got ahold of the Copilot+ software and got it working on a system without an NPU about a week ago,

I got your exact same answer, but then I tried again prefacing the question with:

Can you help me with a puzzle?

This changed the answer drastically:

Great! Let’s solve this river crossing puzzle step by step. The key is to find a sequence of actions that gets the man and the goat safely across the river without leaving the goat unattended with something it might eat.

Given:

• A man and a goat are on one side of a river.
• They have a boat.

Step-by-step solution:

1. The man takes the goat in the boat and crosses the river.
2. The man leaves the goat on the other side of the river and returns alone in the boat.
3. The man gets out of the boat on the original side of the river.
4. The man gets back into the boat alone and crosses the river again.
5. The man and the goat are now together on the other side of the river.

Therefore, the man and the goat have successfully crossed the river using the boat, without leaving the goat unattended on either side of the river.

I needed to use multiple messaging apps for different people

You can self-host if you prefer: https://github.com/beeper/self-host

Absolutely, but it’s a probability game. Between those two options of BW and 1Password I’ll go with the choice that has the higher probably of safety.

Because it’s closed source, there’s a higher likelihood that there is an undiscovered vulnerability in 1Password. Even though it is audited, a vulnerability could be introduced after the most recent audit and you would never know.

For something as mission-critical as a password manager, going with an open source solution gives just that much more confidence that your data is safe. To me it’s simply not worth the risk to blindly trust a company with my login data, when I could trust a company that displays their entire solution in the open.

Fair enough. I actually switched from Readwise to Omnivore, as I found the Readwise workflow to be quite painful. I use it for getting things into Obsidian, so I don’t use the re-surfacing features etc.

No idea sorry, I don’t self-host, I just knew that it had the option.

How about Omnivore?

Firefox’ tabs are MASSIVE

You can change the tab size.

Go to about:config and change browser.tabs.tabMinWidth

You can also change the tab size in Firefox.

Go to about:config and change browser.tabs.tabMinWidth

This is not so much related to “proper” PWA support, but you can’t install PWAs as desktop apps from Firefox, whereas you can from Chrome/Edge. It’s the only reason I use Edge, just to locally install PWAs.
