yeah this was me. swapped to Mac. Couldn't bring myself to sign up to all the debugging that would go into having a Linux based laptop. I left windows due to the overhead of disabling the bloatware, popups and general bullshit. I didn't want to swap that for other ongoing issues. Just give me something that works. It's an OS, not a hobby project

geophysicist , 2 months ago to Technology in Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon

and the vast majority of Linux Devs will just continue building what they were building before, and still complain how windows users dont migrate to Linux (cough usability cough)

this makes a lot of sense, thanks!

geophysicist , 3 months ago to Technology in Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton

If a passkey isn't device bound, what makes different/better than a complex password? Is it just the standardisation that you mention? Enforcing using passkeys becomes exactly the same as enforcing using complex passwords

so it's basically what a SSH key is?
can I not log in to an account from my laptop if I set it up on my phone then? that seems like a massive hassle if it's the case

websites that serve users in the EU need to allow you to decline cookies, not just tell you about the fact they use them. this website is actually breaking EU privacy law, it's definitely not what a European user would consider protective

Really cool concept

Unless I'm reading it incorrectly, the devs changed tact and this was already fixed 2 weeks ago

Or there is more to that story than we know as the general public.

Logseq is the obsidian foss clone , worth a try

geophysicist , 3 months ago to Technology in File over App Philosophy

Yep it does

geophysicist , 3 months ago to Technology in File over App Philosophy

Try logseq, it's foss and solves some of these problems. Mostly compatible with files from obsidian

geophysicist , 3 months ago to Technology in File over App Philosophy

Try logseq, it's a foss alternative to obsidian

geophysicist , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Benefits of running 2 Wi-Fi networks from the same router? What are the downsides? (I don't know if there is a better community for this question)

If you don't trust the person, why give them access to your WiFi in the first place?

geophysicist , 4 months ago to Free and Open Source Software in Please don't use Discord for FOSS projects

You're asking them to set up and maintain another platform for you to ... Checks notes... use their FOSS project? Not contribute to development, just...use? That does not seem worth their time. Certainly sounds demanding to step into a project and tell them to do things differently otherwise you won't honour them with your presence
