Meta has published a new advertisement for the Quest 3 headset, showing a person in a car garage multitasking with multiple windows. The person is watching a YouTube video in one window and talking in a WhatsApp conversation in another window. There are a few other windows floating around the garage room.
Here’s the problem: you can’t do that on a Quest headset. The current software is limited to three simultaneous applications, and they are displayed in one shared side-by-side view. You can adjust the size and positioning of each window, but they are locked together in the same view.
On principal I don't use cloud-based password management solutions like this, but Proton Pass does make it somewhat tempting, especially since I have a Proton Unlimited subscription anyways. KeepassXC + syncthing do well enough, but PAM integration would be kind of nice some days when I'm opening and closing my vault a ton.
Proton I generally trust because they have made it abundantly clear just what they will give over to authorities in the event of a court order. I would rather it be less but I also prefer that over "We have your back and will fight the CIA if need be" nonsense.
That said: Bitwarden is still the kind of this. And the big issue with a keepass you sync (which I used to do) is that you can't really use that with yubikey style devices because it will get out of sync as far as the authentication codes go.
I love Bitwarden, but goddamn, they need to figure out form filling. They have my cards, passwords, TOTP, address, and name. And I always end up having to flip back and forth.
It also got a 100 million USD investment a couple of years ago and even if it hasn't changed there might be issues in the future and I really don't want to learn how self hosting working if bitwarden enshittifies.
Seems to me they're getting ready to phase out hotspot service and replace it with this home internet backup (which is just a very expensive hotspot service). Enshitification is intensifying pretty hard in 2024.
Edit: so, this is a video from the show Parks and Rec, where some soulless capitalist is selling regular milk as the "hot new craze, beef milk", and only one person in the scene sees how ridiculous this is ("that's ffing milk", he says). The others lap it right up, pun intended ("no. milk cost $3 a gallon. Annabelle's authentic, hand-strained, teet-to-table beef milk: that costs $60 a gallon. yeah, and there's a waitlist"). I thought it was a good analogy to what is happening with this tmo situation.
I honestly can't stand comments like these. Why is every technology discussion on Lemmy dominated by people congratulating themselves for using something 'better'? Most of the time without even being asked.
I don't think it's downloading apps that is hard necessarily, but there are a few big barriers getting in the way for casual users to run a self-hosted FOSS solution:
seeing a problem with their current way of doing things
knowing other options exist
having the confidence to feel like setup won't be a headache, or that maintenance won't be a problem with their non-tech background
I think its pretty understandable that a normal person would preference "one simple app" than a DIY 2 app system when you consider the above.
How common are these outages? My ISP provides a SIM with unlimited data for extended outages (like more than a day). This price doesn't make sense for smaller outages.
