My main wish is if radicle had a way to make issues online, without installing the software. Runing a piece of software is a high barrier of entry to make a bug report, which the entire reason I use codeberg instead.

What is the point? As long as you (the service) hash passwords securely, and the users use random passwords with a password manager, you are fine. A password is far easier to type onto another computer or a diffrent web browser.

Can't you just share the TOTP secret key?

I belive that passwords with TOTP are far better than passkeys.

This is confirming my belies that Google is trying to block OEMs that don't pay them to be part of GMS, with the goal of eventually being the only android phone maker.

This will create a social problem of people discrediting images by a niche camera vendor or by a bootloader unlocked phone or from budget cameras or or from niche camera manufactuers from film cameras or from cameras that are old, while still allowing for advanced telecine attacks.

I would add cloudflare, but set it to cache only mode *without* the bot blocking features.

Please remove everything starting from `is` or `si` from youtube links. The stuff after it is just for tracking.

What are the advantage of “scroll to content/top” buttons over

for screen readers? I think that the use of those buttons is for when the CSS fails to load.

The SDXC spec does not allow for cards bigger than 2TiB, because of address sizes. You need SDUC for above 4TB.

This doesn't account for vehicle size (important for red shell wall breaking[0]) and drifting style[1].

[0] A redshell wall break is when you point your vehicle near a wall to break a redshell without using a defense item. [1] Drifting style is either inward or outward. Inward drift has more intuitive controlls and is way better for intermidiate players, but pro players dislike it because is removes various difficult tricks.

I recommend yoshi on the yoshi bike with azure rollers and the paper glider.
