Yep, same. The main thing Linux has taught me over the years is to keep good, regular backups of everything important.

I've lost way too much data already by fucking up grub somehow, or by accidentally letting windows overwrite the efi partition or some bullshit. I know how to recover from that now, but back in the day when I was doing dumb shit to my os pretty much every day, I didn't.

That was all 100% my own fault btw

For Plasma 6.3.4 the "most common Plasma crash" is finally solved, which could happen "when unplugging screens, especially with a dock involved in the process somewhere".

There's more to the article of course, but that's what the headline is about.

My bank requires either the mobile app, or a physical device you have to put your card into and scan a qr code with. Very inconvenient, especially on the go.

Fortunately though my bank's mobile app works on GrapheneOS, but that might not be the case for everyone.

Damn, that's awful. Can't you just set the settings once, then delete the app and pair it like a normal Bluetooth device? Would imagine that should work, if it works with your laptop as well.

The article states they cicumvemt androids privacy controls,, but doesn't say how. As far as I'm aware, WiFi access point scanning is behind the location permission and service for precisely this reason. So if you just deny that permission, you should be fine.

I wasn't able to use my WiFi ssid in home assistant automations without having location services enabled, for example.

I'm happy if I get a bonus for free ice cream, but I'm not really disappointed that those things don't happen everyday.

Yeah okay but I'm gonna wager a wild guess here and say you're most likely not a dog

Oh wow you're right, it's basically just kate without some of the toolbars now. Hadn't used plain kwrite in a while.

To be fair, Kate isn't just a text editor, it actually is an IDE. The text editor version would be kwrite, which would be horrible to program in.

At least I don't have any debt... That's something I guess

The person you replied to is correct, and your link confirms it:

An extension with broad permissions can access all tabs and browsing data

The extension does not just have this access, it has to request it from the user first.

Of course, an extension can request access to all browsing data, but Firefox will tell you about that before you install it. And better still, the extension this post is about, doesn't even request this:

The first question after "it's not working!" Is always "what isn't working?" followed by "show me what you were doing".

Used to have to deal with getting information out of customers that were having issues with our app (as a software dev, not sure why that was my job). Eventually we just asked for a video of what they were doing first thing when anyone called.

There's so many tech illiterate people out there, even young people who grew up with their phones often don't really know how to use it besides opening apps.

 

I'm looking for a good solution to clone/sandbox an app, so I can use it with multiple accounts.

I recently got a separate phone number, and also a whatsapp account, for work-related stuff. Turns out whatsapp's own account switching thing is very unreliable and often doesn't deliver any notifications for the "inactive" account.

I remember using Island a long time ago, but unfortunately that one hasn't been updated in 3 years. I'm using parallel space right now, which at least delivers my notifications, but often super late and includes ads, which also isn't ideal.

Are there any good cloning solutions left, preferably with decently quick notifications? (open source would also be a big plus ofc)

I'm really bad at keeping my dependencies up-to-date manually, so dependabot was great for me. I don't use github anymore though, and I haven't really been able to find a good alternative.

I found Snyk, which seems to do that, but they only allow logging in with 3rd party providers which I'm not a big fan of.

Edit: seems like Snyk also only supports a few git hosts, and Codeberg isn't one of them.

 

The past few days I've noticed occasionally dbzer0 loads extremely slowly, or even hits a gateway timeout.

Is it just me or is the instance having some trouble keeping up?

Seems like it's only the front-end that has trouble loading, as I could still navigate next pages just fine while a different tab was busy timing out on load.

Also another thing I noticed is sometimes while it's still loading, the title of the page will be about a different post altogether. Not sure if that's related, sounds like just a caching issue to me.
