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 stow command 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.

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?

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.

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…

The article states:

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.

Why is this so common? It drives me nuts.

I got it! Thanks

I would love to subscribe to this!! But I’m on beehaw.org and the link takes me to the programming.dev instance where I’m not logged in so I can’t subscribe.

Edit: I found another link to it and subscribed. What a weird glitch.
