Genuinely curious, as an offline password manager (versus something like a web browser), does it really need to be updated very often? What needs to be added or updated?
I feel you. I recently got every device in my home to use USB-C (except airpods). I made sure all my chargers power up to 80 watts and no matter what room I'm in or what device I'm using, I just plug it up and it works. What a stress relief that is! Now only if Airpods used USB C charging...
Lack of customization is a feature for me. I waste too much time fiddling with configuration otherwise trying to get everything set up how I want. Gnome is ready to go out of the box.
Chrome already had its reading mode on ChromeOS, and now Google shares that the feature is expanding to the browser on all computers
The author of the article only speculates:
Maybe we'll one day see a version of it
PDFs?
Setting aside the question of privacy, this is a very nice feature. I do worry how Firefox will compete with many of these small comforts and if it may eventually fall out of favor as a viable mainstream alternative and there goes our chance at having a privacy respecting browser. I guess (hope?) there will always be a niche alternative for privacy-minded folks?
But as far as privacy I'm not sure how the scanning of PDFs will affect it. I mean everything on the internet is basically already scanned and cataloged and sharing information over public internet through PDF rather that HTML shouldn't make a difference? Unless the article means Chrome browser would be scanning private files opened through the user's computer.
Unless OP is already in deep with home automation devices or plans to be, I agree keeping it simple this way will keep the overhead/maintenance low and be more reliable.
If you have any friends or family in a nearby town, ask if you can leave an external hard drive at their house. You could make a full disk encrypted backup of your machine every week or so and then when you visit them leave a copy of your backups. It may give you more peace of mind if the data is valuable like journals or family photos.
Thunderbird will be releasing a completely redesigned app from scratch next month. It has a fresher look. Maybe you could install the beta and try it out?
Yes exactly. I didn't mention it above but it seems like the people who use "and I" incorrectly are the same ones trying to sound smarter by being more "proper" or formal. I agree people should just focus on the content of the message. I would not correct anyone in real life, but secretly inwardly it drives me crazy.
Does this mean we're all going to die? Like humanity will be gone without a trace? If so, how soon?
Bug fixes are something I didn't consider. Makes sense.
This is a good point. Thanks.
This combined with
stowcommand makes it very simple to "install" your system configuration on a new machine.Fedora 38 is great. Debian 12 is also good if you prefer apt. But with Fedora just use dnf instead of apt and its basically exactly the same.
I use Openboard. I migrated from iOS and found Openboard to be the most familiar, with key borders turned on in settings.
This is beautiful and impressively professional looking like it's a mainstream OS. Great job.

Wow this is a great resource!
I feel like a Pixel with GrapheneOS is the closest you can get to stock Android minus the Google apps.

What do you mean by open banking?

That is so beautiful. I need to plan a trip soon.

Why is this so common? It drives me nuts.
