At the same time, most newbie programmers just remove the old key and 'git push' again without checking the authenticity of the new key. IMHO those users will never benefit from host keys.

I'm a Pixel device user currently. Tried GrapheneOS but in the end I found that I can't live without google services...

As a Chinese, I'm now staying away from every app by Chinese tech giants (at least on Android). After all, I don't wanna install backdoors and trojans to my daily device. It also reminded me of the Israli spyware[1] used for state-funded attacks, except that PDD is installed voluntarily by victims which is quite a sarcastic fact. But most people care nothing about privacy here (claiming "i've got nothing to hide!")

That's exactly the same model of attracting new users when compared to PDD in China. PDD fraudulently promises to provide users with coupons in return if one tries to attract more users. The required invitation count starts at 5 for example, but as the user invites more victims, the required number of invitees grows indefinitely. By claiming that the user has completed 99.99% of the required invitation, the app can actually attract hundreds of new users before the inviter is finally aware that it's just a scam.

I simply don't know what they're doing with their marketing strategies. Do they really think sending promotion emails in the name of unrelated popular products (claiming they're tied to bitwarden in email subject) will work?

I received an email like [this](https://imgur.com/a/CVAhQvs) weeks ago. At first I was worried that bitwarden had leaked my email address, but then I found that the mail address that got the mail was not used for bitwarden registration. APITable seems to be using the name "bitwarden" in email subject to disguise as an email from a trustworthy product, so that receivers will open the email and see their ad.

Definitely a shameful way of self-promotion.

some discussion also on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/zeqpd6/is_bitwar...

Definitely no after Nov 25 0:00 UTC+8. I am Chinese and checked every goal after the apartment fire. Since Nov 28, the functionality of switching to other cameras in the mobile app has been removed. (It was possible to manually switch to a camera shotting crowds in the app before)

You can also check it at [1] or download the app and see it yourself.

I am personally fed up with the brew devs and have switched to nix on my mac instead. The UX of brew is already disgusting, and I don't think a crypto-embedded package manager will be any better.

Foxcoon has been modern slavery for long[1], in case anyone doesn't know. Workers are suffering from sexual harrasment as well as poor working conditions. It seems like that someone assumed this started only after the covid-zero thing, but it's actually not. (though this has definitely made the workers' lives worse)

That's how the "advantage of low labor cost" works.

Native Chinese speaker here. While Quazel has shown ability in understanding the context, its Chinese is not as authentic as that of a real teacher. Grammatically correct, but sounds weird. (for example, the phrase "I bet" is rarely used in Chinese)

Maybe the weirdness is an innate characteristic of machine translation, so I'm not being too harsh here. But IMO it cannot take the place of a human teacher (at least now).

Chinese here. While I can confirm a lot of these sites are banned for whatever reasons, iTunes is not. Check it yourself with https://ping.pe .
