Any insight on how to fix?

Trouble getting rid of some posts Is anyone else having trouble getting rid of the last 1000 or so tweets/retweets?

I’ve downloaded my data package and it’s deleted quite a bit but it seems to be struggling with the last 1000 tweets/retweets.

I can literally see them still on my account but when I run redact, it says “Deletion Complete”

Am I missing something?

Fedora snap package stuck on updates (linux) Hey @Namiswan our snap package doesn’t get updates, so this is expected - sorry for the confusion. I recommend downloading Redact as an AppImage directly from our website. Redact is also available as an AUR package that we maintain.

AppImages are generally superior to Snap packages anyhow. I personally like to use Gear Level to manage them.

We’ll be releasing a Flatpak to Flathub at some point.

Fedora snap package stuck on updates (linux) Hello, I just installed Redact on Fedora, using the guide at Install Redact on Fedora using the Snap Store | Snapcraft and now when I try to open the app, it simply sits there with a screen of a cat on a skateboard, while it says ‘starting…’. It’s been an hour now and no change. I rebooted as well. If i hover the application in the taskbar, it says ‘Redact updating’.

Is there anything I can do to get this to work? I really need to clean up my discord account from all personal information before we are required to use facial ID.

About deleting DM's on reddit Hello, over a month ago, I created a new reddit account, and after a day, it got shadowbanned. I would like to delete DM’s on reddit, but it doesn’t let me, because of the shadowban. This really bothers me, because I have some sensitive messages in there that I’d like to delete. Can redact delete the messages, or not? Thanks for any information.

Tricking or manipulating employee time tracking software trying to game monitoring software usually backfires because a lot of these tools don’t just look at mouse movement. They can flag patterns like repetitive input, long idle stretches, or weirdly consistent activity. Even if it works short term, it can look worse later if someone audits it.

Can we discuss password managers? The best, the worst? What are your recommendations? If you want a solid default or all around pick, Bitwarden is pretty hard to beat TBH. Cross platform and easy sharing if you need it, and the security model is really straightforward. I like it because it gives you the important knobs without turning setup into a project.

A quick way to choose based on what you care about:

  • Bitwarden: best all-around, good value, works everywhere

  • 1Password: best UX

  • KeePassXC: best if you want local only control

What matters even more than the brand is how you configure it:

  • Use a long master passphrase you can actually remember

  • Turn on 2FA for the vault and ideally a security key or TOTP. Not SMS.

  • If your manager supports it, pick a strong KDF

  • Enable auto lock and set clipboard clearing / timeouts so passwords don’t hang around

  • Have a recovery plan: emergency access for family, or an offline recovery kit stored safely, plus a periodic encrypted export if you’re paranoid

“Worst” password manager vibes: anything sketchy that can’t clearly explain end-to-end encryption, anything that stores vault data in a way you can’t verify, or anything that pushes you toward SMS recovery as the main path.

Curious what your setup is: solo vault, family sharing, or team use? That usually changes the “best” answer fast.

Tricking or manipulating employee time tracking software Good luck with this broham, these employee trackers are crazy complicated now. A mouse jiggler will do nothing. These tracking software companies look at everything now, they are very hard to beat. You can perhaps figure something out with AI, but I don’t know how effective it will be.

Go look at the trackers available and look at their features. These trackers are looking and analyzing things you’ve probably never even considered.

The days of mouse jigglers are long gone G.

Tricking or manipulating employee time tracking software I actually used a jiggler in the past, not the one posted above but a similar one. They used to work perfectly, but like everything in life these tracking softwares have improved. They now monitor things like CPU usage and your process manager. So they can actually detect if you’re just using a jiggler.

Unfortunately, these time trackers have gotten very good. If I were you, I wouldn’t risk it unless you’re ok with getting caught and likely fired.

Share your favorite privacy apps and services! Multi-login is great.

I also use https://www.textverified.com/ which allows you to use other people’s phone number to verify accounts, and it’s cheap. So for example, you want to signup to a sports betting site or a new email service or whatever but you don’t want to use your real number, you can pay like 50 cents and use someone elses number. I use this service on a weekly basis.

How do you check for apps running in the background On Android, the easiest way to see what’s actively running in the background is to open Settings, go to Developer options, then Running services. It shows live RAM usage and lets you force-stop apps from there.
