Boycott what products? I can't boycott my electricity. There is only one provider.

Re #2) I am a tahoe resident and these data centers aren't in my towns. They are far away. I'm not blaming the data centers for these problems, I just disagree with OP that "Tahoe residents kicked the can down the road". Many of us just go to work, take care of our families, and pay our electric bill. Just not sure how this is our fault.

What exactly am I supposed to do as a resident to change how a state government regulated utility operates? Please respond with something other than "Vote", which I already do.

This 100%. They only care about their playa. As soon as they are off, their considerations go out the window and they trash every other town they want to.
Re:Apple is launching its own password manager app on Monday June 10, 2024 @05:57PM (#40639654)
- 1Password used to support Dropbox syncing without a subscription. They allowed you to keep using the app, but they removed support for auto-filling logins from dropbox in Safari or Firefox. You could only auto-fill from vaults that you paid monthly for. Whatever, they win, I started paying monthly.

- They broke search in the past few months. I have multiple accounts with the same service (i.e. google, mercury) for personal and business. Now when searching it displays gibberish like 2FA backup codes from the notes instead of just having `${title} - ${username}` like it had for years

- They completely changed the left bar and moved around the entire UI multiple times. Credit cards used to be a simple click on the left side. Now I have to click "All Items" on the left side, then find the dropdown for "All Categories", click it, scroll down to Credit Cards and click on that.

It really comes down to the fact that it's a password manager. All it has to do is store passwords and fill them in when I need to sign in somewhere. Why has the UI fundamentally changed multiple times over the years throwing away all learned user behavior.

EDIT: There's also just the intangibles. I can't always remember specifics, but I "Feel" like 1password has been fighting me for years. I don't feel that way about many other pieces of software I use. 1Password just feels hostile in how they change/update things.

Re:Apple is launching its own password manager app on Monday June 10, 2024 @03:54PM (#40638014)
1password has progressively gotten worse every year for the past 5-10. 1password team if you are reading this, please stop making your software worse. Search which was great for years is now terrible and has jumbled results.

Some software should just be considered "done" and never changed again. 1Password is one of those things.

To be fair, facebook only publishes the dispatcher. You are on your own to figure out your stores, action creators, hooking it up to components, etc.

Yes, that is on the list of things we are planning to develop.
Re:Show HN: Narwhal – iOS 7 app for Reddit on Wednesday April 09, 2014 @02:13PM (#7561126)
It has only been in development for a couple months so it does not have those features yet. I wanted to get the core browsing functionality done as quickly as possible and get it out for some feedback. All of the features you mentioned are on my list and I hope to have them done soon!
