Whereabouts are you riding? Group ride?

I think it depends on which community (instance) you're trying to post. Some instances are blocking VPNs, e.g. lemmy.world. I assume you've already tried but try switching to a different VPN server.

It's not a backdoor, it just enabled Firefox's remote debugging tool by default

Just? I'm sorry but that's just a terrible mistake to make, especially for a browser that people use to surf the world wild web. I don't know if you've ever used a remote debugger (I do), but depending on the debugger, it can be a very powerful tool, you can do a lot of things with it. I don't think calling it a backdoor is a massive exaggeration. I don't doubt the developer's good intention, but this issue shouldn't be dismissed as an insignificant issue.

To add insult to the injury, it didn't even prompt the user for it.

Zen is as secure as firefox is.

Unless you tweak the default Firefox settings in the code base, e.g. https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/blob/dev/src/browser/app/profile/zen-browser.js#L258 (allow unsigned extensions by default).

I agree, it also has some serious security issues: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927

The developer's comment reveals that it has been there since the inception of the project. And there are even more privacy / security issues mentioned in the comments.

Unfortunately Zen browser gets a big fat no from me. 🫤

I use plastic free "Eco Warrior" shampoo bars made by Little Soap Company Ltd (UK).

I've got one of these and I really like it. It's expensive compared to other brands, but I've had it for 5 or 6 years, and it still works perfectly. It's got a few scratches but that's acceptable given that it's been used for years on a daily basis. Highly recommended.

Thanks for your suggestion regarding single words. I’ve tried dict.cc it with “baffling”, “egregious” but no translations were found… :)

I’ve also just tried translating sentences with DeepL and the results were OK, so it looks like you’re right, it’s more for translating text instead of just words.

Now, what’s even more interesting is that when translating “moron” on the webpage using a mobile browser, it shows “moron” as an alternative, but when using a desktop browser it doesn’t. If I translate “confused”, I get different suggestions for alternatives… 🤨

Hungarian. I've just tested it again, but I'm still not happy with the results.

Also, it always seems to suggest the word you're translating in the "Alternatives" section for some reason. So, for instance, if I translate "moron" or "baffling", DeepL thinks "moron" and "baffling" are valid alternatives. They're not, these are neither Hungarian words nor English ones that a Hungarian would use.

But for quality, nuance, and privacy, DeepL is unmatched.

As much as I'd like this to be true, I have to disagree. Perhaps the quality of the translation depends on the language you translate from / to, but the results I got for my native language ranged from not very good to absolute rubbish.

What's even more frustrating is that there's no (easy) way for me to report such bad results so the developers could fix them. :/

You lose quite a lot of iron when donating blood:

Each time you donate blood, you lose between 220-250 mg of iron. It may take up to 24-30 weeks for your body to replace the iron lost through a blood donation. That time may vary, depending on what your iron level was before donating and if you take iron supplements or multivitamins with iron.

AFAIK many people are fine (no symptoms) with having low iron levels.
