@david_chisnall I don’t have a sweet shop in Cambridge, can you recommend one?

@_elena Add @davidgerard to the list

The studio portrait group I am a part of has begun again after the summer break. I was going into it with the ambition to look more and try to deepen my observation and experience with the model instead of continuously refining the painting’s resolution as it were. It looks rough, but I am pleased with the result, it reflects more what I saw and felt than when I started the piece.

@RecoveredExpert @Polylect Lichtverschmutzung ist ein Riesenproblem, auch für Insekten, Fische und viele andere Tiere. Mein Ausblick in der Oberpfälzer Alb (halber Weg zwischen Nürnberg und Regensburg) war aber zum Glück noch um ein Vielfaches grandioser als das Iphone-Bild erkennen lässt.

I've concluded that the ddr5 memory in my desktop is faulty so need to buy replacements.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICES????!? It's up 5x since I bought the computer at the beginning of 2025.

Hopefully the software vendors can start spending a little bit of time not assuming we will have 2x the ram next year as we did this year.

"De AfD haalde de meeste stemmen bij kiezers tussen 35 en 59 jaar (52 procent) en scoorde relatief lager bij jongeren en 70-plussers. Verder is de aanhang bovengemiddeld vaak man, praktisch opgeleid en laagbetaald."

@andrewnez andrew your blogging game this year is on point!

Just cancelled my @1password subscription after 7 years because while they’re free to fund someone who wants to ethnically cleanse Europe (David Heinemeier Hansson aka DHH; https://www.alilleybrinker.com/blog/1password-funds-ethnic-cleansing/), I’m also free to not have my money be used for that.

If you’re on macOS/iOS, here’s how I migrated without losing any data and without any noticeable degradation in my experience¹.

> TL;DR: To migrate from 1Password, I used StrongBox to create my KeePass Database file without losing any of my data and I’m going to be using KeePassium to manage it and, separately, heylogin for authenticating with web sites in the browser.

Read on for detailed instructions:

1. Export your data from 1Password8 in 1Password Unencrypted Export (.1pux) format: https://support.1password.com/export/?mac

**Note that this is unencrypted.** DO NOT store this file in your iCloud Drive, Dropbox, etc., and remember to delete it when you’re done with the import.²

(I put it in my home folder.)

2. Download StrongBox, a native macOS client for KeePass Database files: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/strongbox-password-manager/id897283731

3. Launch StrongBox and select File → Import → 1Password → Import 1Pux and select the file you exported from 1Password.

4. Choose a strong password for your database and save the file. This is where you can save it to iCloud Drive to have your encrypted database synced between your Mac, iPhone, etc.

You could leave it there and use StrongBox but I wouldn’t recommend it. It has the best importer so that’s why I used it but the app is owned by Applause Group, which is VC-funded so it will enshittify.

The good news is that once you’ve exported your data from 1password and have your KeePass Database, it’s yours. You can use different apps to edit it, provide autofill, etc.

One of those apps is KeePassium (https://keepassium.com/) by an independent developer (Dr. Andrei Popleteev). So, to continue our guide:

5. Download KeePassium (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/keepassium-keepass-passwords/id1435127111) and open your database using that client and uninstall the VC-funded StrongBox once you’re done with the initial import.

Again, you can stop here.

But, since I had the export, I thought I’d also try heylogin – a zero-password password manager only for logins that’s based in the EU: https://heylogin.app/

They have a novel solution that integrates really well with browsers and has been working great for me so far (in the past hour) :)

So, there you have it: I had seven years of data in 1Password (actually, likely far more as I was using it before it was a subscription) and I was able to migrate away in about ten minutes. (It’s taken me longer to write this.) You don’t have to stay locked in if you don’t agree with their ethics.

Good luck! :)

(Remember to write a note and tell them why you’re cancelling and to share your own experiences in this thread.)

¹ After you import your data, go through it and check that you have everything.

² Actually delete it. Command+Backspace then right-click the Trash and Empty Bin.

@alexchapman @serrebi @JeffBishop Yeah - I'm not sure either.

@pikarl Please, do it! 7€ hatte ich zwar noch nicht, aber ich finde es auch so eine Frechheit, dass sie einen zum Wasser kaufen zwingen und das dann bei der Preisgestaltung ausnutzen. Ich will einfach nur irgendwo am Bahnhof meine Trinkflasche mit Leitungswasser auffüllen können.

@ThisCJ spectacular

What happens if a model is repeatedly asked to make a small, localized tweak to an image. In case you were wondering. You can thank me later.

@Yaku non voglio neance prendere in considerazione questa eventualità ☠️ @Elikorokoros @GustavinoBevilacqua

@romanidemata a casa igual i pel mateix motiu.

@sebsauvage j'ai le 3 qui est assez simple et sympa (et tout petit !)
Mais je n'ai pas encore passé le pas de lui installer autre chose.
Ce serait sûrement bénéfique parce qu'en l'état, ça ne prend pas en compte les accents, c'est relou pour lire en français...

@regehr Next time, see if you can find a sweet shop that sells them from a massive jar behind the counter in little paper bags. Those are the best.

What's my position on copyright?

I say that if its to be enforced, it should be enforced fairly! Unfortunately any enforcement, or lack thereof, tends to align with the interests of capital.

There's plenty of techies who are automatically against any enforcement, but I ask "who's interests are being served".

That said I want to see DRM done away with, it directly hinders our right to use our computers as we wish!
