Same here. The learning curve is higher on Vespucci, but once you're familiar with it it's extremely capable!

OK, I like the comment here wondering about the thermometer's range: "things with an interesting temperature are generally uncomfortable to hold your hand next to. I'm sure there will be at least one support call because someone tries to measure fire from 1 inch away."

I'm using Nextcloud for a lot more than just file sharing. Calendar, contacts, tasks, RSS reader sync, etc.

Same. Thunderbird now has native support for CalDAV and I use DAVx5 to sync it with my Android devices.

Also:

  1. A open, customizable algorithm that lets the user set their own priorities, and if it does any "learning" based on user actions, it's geared toward the user's priorities and easy for the user to see and correct what it's learned.

Again, key factors being: open, customizable, correctable, and serving the user, not serving the platform.

They don't really use the major.minor.bugfix scheme anymore. If they did, they wouldn't be at version 117.

I tend to think of them all as minor updates that add up over time, like a rolling release with numbers.

And even when you can, saving files one by one from Wayback is a lot slower than re-uploading your local copy to a new server

KDE Plasma handles the touch screen fine on my PineTab2.

It works in LxQt too, but only in portrait mode (which is the default for this device). I keep meaning to look up how to tell it to rotate the touch coordinates along with the display, and I keep not getting around to it.

But the main issue I've run into is that most GUI apps for Linux are...let's just say they're not designed with touch input in mind.

I know Steam on Linux uses a Wine environment to run Windows games, but I was recently reminded that you can run the Windows version of Steam in a Wine bottle. Is there any advantage to doing it this way instead of running the Linux client with Proton?

Yeah, this really needs to have

  1. A clear, user-visible list of which domains are quarantined
  2. A clear, user-visible explanation of why those domains are quarantined
  3. A way to say "Fine, but I want to allow this extension on this site" like the location and camera preferences, rather than simply turning the entire feature on and off.

My main desktop has been upgraded continuously from RHL5 (no E) in ~1999 to Fedora 38 today.

Well, almost continuously. I've done at least one fresh install, when I switched from 32-bit to 64-bit hardware.

Edit: I have used a lot of other distros on other boxes, both physical and virtual - I've just stuck with Fedora on that one.

TL;DR: People working in the office tend to get complacent and take more risks, figuring that IT is taking care of security, while people working from home know it's up to them.

I had to check....

O_o

Edit:

Yeah, it was real! Back in 2017.

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v733-fix-cia-hacking-npp-issue/

Checking the certificate of DLL makes it harder to hack. Note that once users’ PCs are compromised, the hackers can do anything on the PCs. This solution only prevents from Notepad++ loading a CIA homemade DLL. It doesn’t prevent your original notepad++.exe from being replaced by modified notepad++.exe while the CIA is controlling your PC.
