>Data export has changed from “export all data via CSV” to “export CSV of the last 7 days” with anything else meaning “upgrade to PRO” which, by the way, costs EUR 0.99 monthly or EUR 8.99 per annum.

As a German, you can luckily still request your data using the GDPR. I'd suggest finding an alternative (preferably Open Source) app and giving them your export file to ask if they can add support to import this other format.

I am doing this with my app too, just supporting importing from other apps' GDPR-extracted data. An example: https://github.com/TheLastProject/Catima/issues/168


I love this clause too. It's been making it possible to help people migrate to my app: https://github.com/TheLastProject/Catima/issues?q=is%3Aissue...

Of course I document my export format too so others can do the same with data from my app: https://github.com/TheLastProject/Catima/wiki/Export-format :)

The sad part is the allowed 30 days timeframe. Stocard really abuses this to make you wait as long for your data as they legally can make you wait: https://twitter.com/SylvieLorxu/status/1389343401435439112


It just crashes for me when getting my final score (on Firefox). Guess my taste is so bad I broke the AI...

I scroll down a bit into the comments and it's all "jews this", "jews that", etc. I'm pretty sure this was completely deserved. Mods, can we just close this pathetic attempt to get more users on this right-wing site?


No, every time a platform or person gets banned online it's our solemn duty as the last bastion of true online intellectualism to clutch our pearls over the crushing Orwellian boot of political correctness and the death of free speech, the internet and civilization that it represents, and then get bogged down in pedantic tangents about the nature of free speech, hate speech, SJWs, leftists, Nazis and how Stallman did nothing wrong.

I don't make the rules, those are just the rules.


So, 3 to 4 years. Still less than Fairphone's 5 years. But hey, an improvement is still an improvement.


It says “up to” and restricts to “select” models. I don’t see the improvement, the press release isn’t claiming anything.


I use a Pi-Hole and on top of that uBlock Origin. Seems a pretty nice combination. For privacy though, you need to know what level of privacy you're aiming for. At a certain point, adblockers and tracking protectors won't help and you're better of with something like Tor. For like, general daily use though, I very much recommend a Pi-Hole + uBlock Origin. Oh, and Firefox, not Chrome, for obvious privacy reasons.


Pretty much, yeah. Currently Pext doesn't support letting modules react on-the-fly (I ran into some performance issues and race conditions), but it definitely should be possible.

Global hotkey support, you're completely right. It's always been in the back of my mind, but I never got to it (because I didn't figure out a solution for macOS) and forgot to make a ticket, made one now: https://github.com/Pext/Pext/issues/124.

Completion is already implemented, but is not always perfect behaviour-wise. Patches and bug reports welcome, of course :)


Oh cool, you even went for Python 3 + PyQt5 and a module idea. Interesting! Seeing how your post was from January 2016, we may have started our projects around a similar time, even though mine started as a simple front-end for https://www.passwordstore.org/, back in December 2015, starting to support other functionality in, interestingly enough, also January 2016.


Pretty much, yeah :)


I'm aware of the API key included in one of the modules. The reason for this is that having people get their own API key just to try it is a bit of a hassle. The account isn't coupled to a credit card or anything, the worst someone can do is push it up to the rate limit, at which time, well, people will have to get their own API key. Thanks for the heads up though!
