I have used GameNative and it works okay, but I don’t have a Snapdragon device so it doesn’t have the best results. I know there are lots of videos on Droid Deck on Android handhelds with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and indie titles run fine for the most part. Have not tried it myself though, but it seems neat and will only improve from now!

Nice, a webUSB installer is very cool! The new photo editing app looks nest too…

Scratch that, maybe don’t use Proton Pass. Just did some more searching, their CEO has donated millions of dollars to the Republican party. They also sponsored some alt-right French influencer (from my quick searching, a lot of racism, conspiracy, Holocaust denial, homophobia, transphobia, that sort). Yikes!

My bad for not looking more into this!

Secrets is another decent KeePass client and works well with Gnome and other desktops that work well with libadwaita. It doesn’t have browser integration though, so it’s a non-starter for me.

From reading the thread, it looks like they are dodging the question of what features will be restricted to the commercial license versions (“case-by-case basis” apparently). They keep repeating “no change to people using the app currently”, “no change to self-hosting right now”, etc., but it doesn’t inspire confidence.

I would recommend to read the thread and ask questions there if you have any, but I would definitely have a backup plan ready.

The KeePass ecosystem is awesome and it’s what I use, it’s local-first and you can use Syncthing to have passwords across many devices. KeePassXC for desktop (+ browser extension if you need it), KeePassDX on Android (w/ Syncthing-fork), and if you use iOS, you have KeePassium and Strongbox (w/ Synctrain). The iOS apps are more limited, blame Apple for their restrictive ecosystem and high entry fee.

One of the only reasons why Orion is neat, it’s the only one out of the lot in iOS that supports extensions, since on iOS, all the browsers are based on WebKit. It’s not particularly great otherwise, it’s just Safari with extensions support + a couple productivity things after all, and it’s closed-source (it doesn’t look like the iOS app will go FOSS any time soon)

On Android, we have a duopoly instead, which isn’t that much better, but at least one of the two (Firefox) allows extensions on mobile browsers.

And there’s no reason why you should use Orion on a desktop OS, since better options are plentiful (Firefox and forks, even Chromium ones like Helium or Ungoogled Cr)

I do hope that some of the tricks in Orion could be used in Linux browsers that are actually good, especially for mobile Linux! Firefox does work on it, but only with tweaks (and even then, it’s not fantastic compared to something like GNOME Web)

Consoles are grouped into “generations” since they are usually released close together, and it’s console-neutral (less perceived bias)

7th gen is Xbox 360, PS3, and the Wii (the GOATs because I grew up during that, peak of console gaming in my opinion)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles

TLDR:

• Gen 1 and 2: pre-NES days of console gaming, think the older Atari ones
• Gen 3: NES and friends
• Gen 4: SNES, Genesis, and other friends
• Gen 5: PS1, N64, Saturn
• Gen 6: PS2, GameCube, OG Xbox, Dreamcast
• Gen 7: mentioned above
• Gen 8: PS4, Wii U, OG Switch, Xbox One
• Gen 9: PS5, Switch 2, whatever naming scheme Xbox uses nowadays (X and S I think?)

I feel like it’s probably around Windows 8 too, they started tacking on MS store, Xbox, and other stuff nobody wanted. Vista and 7 has also added various telemetry bits, unstable updates, that sort.

Windows 10 was definitely when that accelerated though, forced MS account, sooooo much bloat, etc. And Windows 11 is a disaster for everyone (except the shareholders and data brokers)

I’ve recently convinced a sibling to dual boot Fedora KDE too!

I switched nearly two years ago, at first to Fedora Workstation (because GNOME looked neat), then I moved to KDE Plasma (still nuts you can do that by the way, just swap out your desktop). About a year ago I distro hopped to EndeavourOS, which is Arch with small tweaks to make it nicer (but closer to vanilla Arch than CachyOS), still with KDE, and just last week I switched to Niri + Noctalia and am very happy! Linux is awesome and superior to Windows in every way for my usecases

Larger storage is good for videos (think Blu-rays, 4K videos are very big! Security camera feeds could also take up lots of space), and you might also want to host for multiple users (for family, friends, or a business)

But yes, _100_TB is a lot. 8-24TB (before memory became super expensive) was reasonable for most consumers, usually in a RAID configuration for redundancy. Multiple smaller drives are more reliable and modular than a single big one!

Note that Firefox does bake in some telemetry by default, which needs to be manually disabled, but if you don’t want to deal with that you have LibreWolf! (Zen is another good one if you like vertical tabs)

And still having Manifest V2 support and not supporting a monopoly is always good!

There are much bigger concerns for Chrome for most people I guess (removal of Manifest V2 support, Google spyware, excessive RAM usage, monopoly, etc.)

I thunk the main problem is how it’s forced on everyone, whether they like it or not. Rounded corners should be an option, some people like their boxier corners!

I personally like the Nova design, BUT I know lots of people hate it and prefer the old one, so it really sucks that it’s buried in about:config. I feel like boxy vs rounded should be a toggle, you know! If they eventually drop the about:config, maybe LibreWolf or other forks will continue to have the option for the old design (?)

I promise it’s not an advertisement! I just like the purple mouse that uses AAs :D

I don’t think the specific brand is important, there’s probably lots of identical ones by various alphabet soup brands

Neat! Waiting is fine on these kinds of things :D

Alternatively, I could get the Xperia 1 V (used) for a similar price, but apparently battery life on that model wasn’t great because of the 4K display (and used means battery could be degraded), and it’s a larger phone too (though with the slimmer aspect ratio)

The 1 V would be more powerful though with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and the cameras are certainly better (+ a telephoto!)

Or maybe the 1 VI, which has the more standard fat ratio (so the larger display is a bigger problem) but battery life could be better??

What do you all think?

COSMIC is kind of neat though, it’s not for everyone, but it’s always good to have another option! A lot of the customisation options are really nice, I’ll always be a KDE Plasma person, but I can see the appeal of it.

Perhaps in this case, you are Wesley.
