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.

Yooooo nice! Congrats!

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)

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

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.

It’s kind of neat that they are going for it as well as an SBC (easier for developers to work with) and a more affordable and accessible device (the Motorola Edge 30)

Double negatives are fun! It’s a little weird how, depending on the context and language, they can either be positive or extra-negative. “I don’t see nothing!” is often used to mean you can’t see anything, the double negatives reinforce each other rather than cancel out into a positive meaning. Similar for “I don’t have no …” or “we don’t need no …”

They are supporting devices deemed obsolete by manufacturers and are working towards making your phone last longer, I would say that’s pretty environmentally conscious. The “eco” TLD makes sense, I think, when you look at their goals.

Hey, that’s pretty neat! It looks like the name is based off a rock structure in Italy, representing stability :D

It’s also nice that it’s easier to pronounce for non-native English speakers (or as a matter of fact, non-English speakers!)

The new .eco URL is also interesting, from what I can tell it’s operated by a Canadian company called “Big Room”, and to register, you need to pledge that you will support positive change for the planet and you need to be transparent about your actions that could affect the environment.

We’ve already seem sites with the .org TLD get struck down by the U.S. government (e.g. Autistici/Inventati getting sanctioned as a “global terrorist organisation” for providing email and blog hosting services to “far-left antifascist terrorists”), so moving away from that is probably a good thing.

If you didn’t know, CoMaps has a desktop Linux and macOS version! I believe GNOME Maps (also on Linux) recently got better offline maps support too

Fair enough. Good luck then!

It’s not that “AI” is incorrect, more that it’s way too broad. It’s like how “leftism” is used to group social democracies, totalitarian dictatorships, and anarchism together, even though they are vastly different ideologies. For an example that is not based on politics, it’s like how you need more information than just “fiction” and “non-fiction” to pick a book to read.

Good point on the cost of running a local model, but more efficient models exist that can run on memory capacities more typical for regular people (think 8-16GB of RAM). It doesn’t help that all the memory has been bought out for the data centres…
