This is a million times better than the current. Using homebrew, you often have to re-approve apps that brew ended up reinstalling in a manner to remove the previous exception.
Now, worst-case, it’s the same process as any other app permission, and best case, it can be adjusted via the terminal.
https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/filelink-provider-for-send/ this add on can be pointed at any send instance, so long as the instance isn’t too diverged from the popular fork or Mozilla’s original project.
The Thunderbird team has talked in the past about bringing Mozilla Send back as more of a feature for Thunderbird files embedded in emails, hence some of the work that’s happening off and on by Mozilla themselves in the original project, some of which has been merged into the project this post is about.
I moved one of my computers to endeavor, but one is still on manjaro and the contrast is kinda hilarious. Manjaro machine always gets funky after updates, it struggles to deal with sleep and hibernation, and it feels slow even when its like 4x as powerful as my EndeavourOS machine.
Its been in testing for a bit. It got bumped from the last major desktop Thunderbird release and since Thunderbird releases used to be synced to firefox ESR releases its been a slow turnaround to get their schedule moving faster.
Its an f-droid metadata issue that the team is already aware of https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8478
You could argue the rationality of an effort before any major technology or cultural breakthrough for all of human history, yet the reason those breakthroughs happened was due to humans acting irrationally by accident or on purpose.
There are many tipping points, and we dont always know if we’ve hit one yet or not. The drastic increase in sea temperature the last two years is possibly a tipping point we’ve passed, esp since the warmer the water is, the less co2 its able to absorb. OMAC shut down (if it happens) is possibly a tipping point, which will only feedback loop into warming waters.
Honestly, the permafrost melt is more likely to be the KO punch after one or more other tipping points accelerate it.
Agreed. I don’t like the magic mouses size, but the weight + multitasking gestures makes it the one I put in my laptop bag for use on the go.
Meh. I got one for free from a job’s tech allowance, and it’s never really a problem. It charges fast and the OS warns you early enough to plug it in on a lunch break or at the end of the day well before it runs out. Not ideal but def not garbage. Honestly, I get more frustrated with noise canceling headphones and keyboards dying at inconvenient times than I ever do the mouse.
I dont use it daily, but it is a pretty good mouse for my laptop bag. Charge holds a long time for once/week use. If it’s dead when I get to the coffee shop or wherever I’m working, itll be usable in 15 mins or less anyway. It also works nicely with Linux out of the box, which is a rarity among Bluetooth mice (in my experience).
The other elephant in the room: not having multitasking gestures on a mouse when using macOS is a serious drawback for any other mouse out there, so there is a reason people are willing to put up with the annoyance (if they ever get annoyed in the first place)
Most of the time its the fault of the developer if a page only works in chrome.
Idk for sure, but if excalidraw uses canvas then there are a lot more possible machine/OS specific problems that come up. Web browser features that hand tasks off to the GPU have gotten a lot better over recent years but there are still oddities like max shaders for a specific browser/OS/GPU combo that’ll lead to some funny behavior.
I mean, the issues were present and widely reported for several months before Intel even acknowledged the problems. And it wasn’t just media reporting this, it was also game server hosts who were seeing massive deployments failing at unprecedented rates. Even those customers, who get way better support than the average home user, were largely dismissed by intel for a long time. It then took several more months to ship a fix. The widespread nature of the issues points to a major failure on the companies part to properly QA and ensure their partners were given accurate guidance for motherboard specs. Even so, the patches only prevent further harm to the processor, it doesnt fix any damage that has already been incurred that could amount to years off of its lifespan. Sure they are doing an extended warranty, but thats still a band-aid.
I agree it doesnt mean one should completely dismiss the possibility of buying an Intel chip, but it certinally doesn’t inspire confidence.
Even if this was all an oversight or process failure, it still looks a lot like Intel as a whole deciding to ship chips that had a nice looking set of numbers despite those numbers being achieved through a degraded lifespan.
Yup, unfortunately there is still a premium on linux-specific manufacturers. You get better driver support, but without scale things will stay a bit pricey.
The other longterm solution is postmarketOS, but there aren’t a ton of android tablets out there right now that can really compete on the drawing front so the supported devices aren’t very compelling.
Star labs starlite is very compelling. Its certinally not going to compete woth new iPads or pen tech, but its comparable ro a few generations back iPad pro feature set and is from a Linux-specific manufacturer. I haven’t used it but am thinking about picking one up.
But how else will Brandon Eich fund his homophobia and covid conspiracies?
There are plenty of carriers which don’t do that, even in the US, assuming you are willing to part with a big name carrier.
I was a roku fan for s long time until they really enshittified (which sucks, since their UI overall is superior and their products are supported for a really, really long time)
I dont see moving away from android any time soon, and i’m not quite ready/willing to take the plunge into alternate ROM’s (the pixel festures are really nice!) so I figure google TV at least isnt going to learn much about me that google doesnt already know. The newer OS iteration isnt that bad a UI, either.
I do think all this will motivate me to get a kodi device set up and use the smart TV stuff a lot less, though, and I dont think I’ll be in a rush to replace my existing roku TV’s/boxes for secondary room use. I can tell they have a bit of targeted ads, but it mostly seems based on content I watch on the TV itself. Probably helps that most of my online life on home-based internet usage is very filtered of tracking through my router, though i haven’t put a ton of effort into blocking roku specifically.
I’m in a swing state with an abortion measure on the ballot, and while all the polls claim it’s close, I’m not really sure they are properly accounting for the number of voters that have been activated by the possibility of enshrining pro-choice into the state constitution.
These polling strategies are complex and a lot of thought goes into them, but they rarely can account for uncommon circumstances that increase voter turnout in local or state elections and how that will effect the national election.
While this is entirely personal reexperience bias, I also wonder how effective these polls are at reaching a representative survey group. I know at least on my phone basically all survey calls and texts go to spam and I wonder if older, more conservative voters are getting overrepresented due to their likelihood of not having those kinds of spam filters in place.
“Vast” would be a different company from the one marketing the Vera station, no?
The EU is going to slap them silly for making it an easier process? Instead of needing to know a magic key combo to bypass the security check, now it acts just like any other security permission (for example, screen recording) and sends you to settings. This is absolutely better than it was and the article is clickbait.
