  It’s really aimed at programmers, but for someone who is used to the better known proprietary versions (so with sketching and “shaping” with a mouse,), it’s barely useable.

  Interesting, my approximation to an English r is more like a muted w than anything involving curling the tongue and still there’s a major difference between r and l sounds. (The r in my native language is also fairly unique, possibly regional.)

  Thank you for your explanation!

  I exclusively log in on my phones or computers, so the devices which have the copies of the database. (With a backup to an external server under my control.)

  Question: why would you store passwords with an external service?

  I have a local database synched with SyncThing between phones and computers and an external copy on a server.

  Agreed, I have a (pre-HP) Samsung laser printer and it works whenever I need it to. Sure, it only works via USB and only has one button and an on/off switch, but it works when needed.
