    I mean. "she was killed by the IDF" is passive voice, no? I think IDF is out of control as much as the next person but passive voice can be communicative and clear as much as active voice. And clearly it's easy to reach for if you gave it as a counter example accidentally.

    Maybe it's simply because he's not the sitting president and his detail is much smaller? I'm not at all familiar with the way FPOTUS security is run but I do believe I remember they don't get anywhere near the resources POTUS gets. They're also not often running for reelection so this seems like an increased risk, reduced resources situation.

    I can confirm this is related to the 0.19.4 update. The bug goes away if I downgrade my instance.

    That said, it was extra bad with the beta because I think they never got marked read but now that the final release is cut and I've upgraded, they're being marked read on refresh.

    I think. It's possible I just missed that it was working on refresh on beta6 too.

    Rant: vanilla local app search is ridiculously bad

    For a search company I can't believe how terrible the Android app search is. I can't even search "bank" for my banking apps, and there doesn't really seem to be any metadata except for the title that goes into the search. Which is absolutely ridiculous given how many companies name their apps something cReAtIvE like "home" or "Resideo" or "Smart Hq." I just want to search GE for the damn GE app. Or "thermostat" for Resideo. Surely there's something beyond surface level here because obviously this is an extensively solved problem. How is there not metadata or description searching at minimum? My only guess is fear of abuse but Google has definitely dealt with that for their entire existence and up until recently, managed to handle it fine.

    The Sign

    For context, in case you don't have kids (therefor you probably don't watch Bluey), the family in the car (the Heelers) was selling their house to move for a job but ultimately, the dad (Bandit) decided staying at their house with family was more important. As a final act of demonstration, he lifts the for-sale sign out of the ground and throws it onto the street, with emotional montage music playing in the background. Basically the meme being, I reject this and I'll figure out another way. Thankfully historical Hashicorp code has been permissively licensed and we have awesome forks like opentofu and openbao.

    Is SMS 2FA broken/degraded for anyone else?

    I had an issue logging into Twitch last night for the first time in a while. I just didn't get any 2FA messages delivered to me, until about 12 hours later when I was asleep and they were probably long invalidated. and now suddenly I can't log in to my MVD either. Apparently there's some sort of SMS short+long code outage (according to the [twilio status page](https://status.twilio.com/) in North America, which is mildly infuriating when this is already shown to be a pretty sketchy 2FA mechanism, at least theoretically. Just curious if anybody else has noticed issues or if that's just me. And also, I really hate SMS 2FA.
