bitwarden became proprietary a while ago

I'm interested in hearing more about this. I recall there being a mixup in packaging and people asked a bunch of questions about licensing. But as far as I can tell the client and server code is still available as open source (under various licenses) and the repos are frequently updated.

This is an honest question, I promise. I haven't found anything that points to regular users being pushed to anything proprietary, and no new discussions since late 2024.

I guess it depends on what you consider passable.

It's loud enough on 25% to disturb my neighbors, it's clear and defined enough for me to watch normally and hear everything at 7%. There's no observable delay, and the installation is clean enough to make my wife happy. It wasn't cheap, but I wouldn't consider it expensive.

Some films are meant to be watched in large formats with insane audio that just can't be replicated at home. The Dune movies and Oppenheimer are a few recent examples I can think of that looked incredible in 70mm IMAX. I live in a major metro area and there are only 3 screens within 50 miles capable of showing 70mm properly. I choose to go out of my way to these theaters once or twice a year, if a great film is showing.

Short of films shot and shown in a true large format there's no way you'll find me in a theater.

I'll watch content on small screens if I'm on a plane. Otherwise it's my 80" living room TV with passable surround sound.

Having itchy palms because of an allergy might happen commonly in terms of a large population, but it is not common to have this condition. If it happens to you then you should get it looked at instead of biting them. This is the correct and acceptable response. Putting your hands in your mouth and using your teeth because something is wrong with your palms does not need to be normalized.

If people have itchy palms for any reason, I'm not shaming them. I'm pointing out that putting your hands in your mouth is strange.

I don't know why, but ok?

Itchy palms sounds more like an allergic reaction than a common issue.

People have itchy palms? Itchy enough that they bite them?

That's fucking weird.

That's literally never happened to me, it sounds super strange. Are y'all putting stuff on your hands that's tearing up your skin? Do you moisturize regularly?

I have sensitive skin, but spend a lot of time in a kitchen with wet hands. Unscented soap to wash my hands about a dozen times a day, and unscented moisturizer to keep my skin from cracking. I'll use a thicker waxy moisturizer during the winter when it's really dry out.

I use my hands for weightlifting and golf, so I have to manage my callouses, and in the kitchen I'll pick up various small cuts and burns. My hands don't look perfect but they've never.. itched?

Why would right wing people come out to protest ICE? They all voted for exactly what is happening.

Maybe this question should also request the responder's general location, because I imagine the situations vary substantially.

I've lived in California for most of my life, and we go on frequent drives between LA and SF, usually a few times a year.

In the 80's and 90's bugs would cover the front of our vehicles and the windshield would be difficult to see through even with wipers and washer fluid. We'd actually have to stop to manually scrape them off.

In the 00's and 10's we noticed that we'd get basically zero bugs on a long drive, and that sparked many conversations about California environmental law.

I just got back from a drive up the coast and I can happily say that we're back to insane numbers of bug strikes on the highway. Just north of Ventura I drove through a cloud of large bugs that hit like rocks and instantly covered almost my entire windshield. This situation has been noticably turning around since COVID, which I think is a good thing

I'm not sure if you're familiar with US politics, but the Venn diagram intersection of people who have advocated for civilian firearm ownership AND resisting stricter immigration laws is vanishingly small.

Mostly Democrats are upset about the current ICE push, but they also spent the last several generations trying to eradicate civilian firearm ownership, particularly in California.

I'm on the side of of both more guns AND due process, but it wasn't until recently that I've noticed traditional lefties waking up to why the second amendment is important.

My hope is that the left remembers this feeling the next time they're in power.

I don't know if this is common, but in my family Legos are a common gift for children, and they never get thrown away. When kids age out (usually because they move out or go to uni) the bricks get tossed in a big mixed bag and handed down to the next round of youngsters. After at least 3 generations of this, the kids now inherit literal full sized trash barrels of mixed Lego. It's awesome!

When it was my turn I got a big bucket, but two of my cousins got all of the Technic stuff, I was very jealous.

I might misunderstand, but "double key deadbolt" just means there's a keyway on both sides of the door. This shouldn't prevent a small human from picking the lock to get out..

Teed off at 7am at my local course. The last bit of morning fog had nearly burned off and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

My driver wasn't behaving and I had to deal with hitting hooks all day. I hit exactly zero fairways with driver, but still managed to shoot 78, so the rest of my game was working well.

The weather was great, I went for a nice 18 hole walk, and I carded a decent score, not a bad morning.

This is the view from the 6th hole black tees (one up from the copper tips) at Pechanga near Murrieta California. From the coppers the carry over the 4 bunkers to the folks in the fairway is 366 yards, but with the elevation change it plays more like 280.

The course was stunning, no two holes are alike, and the greens are fairly severe with slopes and speed.

I just got back from a trip to Kauai where I was fortunate enough to play 3 rounds.

I stayed in Koloa, so I played Kiahuna for the first time since it was so close. At $135 it was a so-so value, but the PoP was great and the greens were wild.

I played Princeville Makai the next day, which I'd played once on a previous trip. It's the most expensive course of the three I played on this trip, and kind of tough to get to unless you're already in the Hanalei area. Even so, this is my favorite course on the island and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Poipu Bay was the last course I played on this trip, the 16th hole is pictured. You tee off on top of the bluff (look for the palm trees furthest away), and the hole is a LONG par 4 at >500 yards, but plays downwind so it's still reachable in two for reasonably long hitters. Driving it long and straight is imperative at this course, the wind plays a major factor.
