While I’m totally with you, I use Linux on all my machines and it works great even on a netbook from the netbook era … I cannot beat a battery life of a M-powered MacBook. I literally have MacBook Air 15 with M4 and 4 hours of work in After Effects and full render preview of 1080P video, took 65% of battery. Overnight the laptop lost 0% of battery. My Intel era MacBook Pro (with Arch Linux installed) takes 0% of battery too, but I power it off. This beast took 0% battery for just closing the lid. It wakes up momentarily. It’s just a different league. Even my desktops are unreliable with sleep, I have no idea why. No hardware so far was reliable enough for me casually use sleep. Most times it works, but when it isn’t, it’s very disappointing.

MacBooks … since Intel era, I’ve been using them with uptime of a year (we used to have updates less often circa fifteen years ago). I powered it off twice: when I went for a vacation, not taking it with me. And when I bought a newer MacBook.

Now, with new MacBooks, the only reason to reboot is to install updates. There’s no reason to power it off. Even if you use it every other day, it won’t discharge. It’s like an iPad now.

You need to go to the extension settings. It’s not really obvious. There’s a checkbox for sync.

I may update my comment in a few hours when I’d be near the computer.

And the OS they chose is Fedora Linux, right? Right?

Laughs in MacBook Air M4.

Always has been!

No problem, take your time. Feel free to comment on here, or in private, whatever you’re comfortable with.

Literally the thing I cannot understand. They could just do their own electricity and even share back.

I would appreciate even not very accurate comparison just to get the idea. A brief search meanwhile showed me it’s a great idea actually. But having someone who uses that to comment would be great too. Thanks.

Have you measured the difference? Is it huge? I’m curious to understand what the trade-offs are and how many more games can you store on the same drive.

Organic (as well as the original project) has Russian founders, so I’m not surprised. After the war they waged in Ukraine, I prefer staying away from anything Russians do, even if it’s open source.

Telegram is in the same bucket. All developers are Russians. They claim they actually have Ukrainian developers, so they’re like above the war. Which is weird given all the beneficiary are Russians, plus their CEO is visiting Sucker Carlson, and spilling very questionable political opinions (so to say).

I haven’t been following maps with me project that closely, but I remember me reading the relatively recent drama with Organic → CoMaps, and reacted with not being surprised.

Thanks! I just thought that’s some non-existent thing, which Microsoft invented and nobody needs it ever. Well, that’s not far from your point, I guess. But still. Didn’t know that’s called a phone tree!

The fuck is a phone tree? Pardon my language, sir.

Thanks!

Any good guide you can recommend? Thought of going the very same thing, but had not much time and energy recently.

Yeah, I’m not that loud as the other guys who keep praising some obviously stupid solutions like 1Password or I don’t know, BitWarden. And then one day … surprise surprise!

Keepass’ derivatives may be worth a look, but I don’t like it either. For most people a built-in solution iPhones provide is actually better than all this shit. If you’re on Android, good luck. Write your own if you don’t like pass.

As the other reply goes. I am not sure I even care whether the app is updated, I believe some software can stay finished if it’s simple enough.

I use Pass, and I’m tired of laughing at all these posts. Now I’m just ‘oh, again, what a surprise!’

My passwords are gpg-encrypted and stored in a git repository. The only improvement I can do is to migrate to my own server instead of GitLab (which I setup like a decade ago), but there’s some inertia as GitLab just works for now. And I see no real point of doing so.

The structure is open, but you can encrypt it with the external tools if needed. I have zero understanding of the attack vector when my password file name is Gmail or Proton or Server/1. Good luck doing something with it.

I searched for what HDMI-CEC but it’s not very clear to me. Does it mean that, say, if I have an HTPC, and if I run Kodi, I can control it with a regular TV remote? Should this thing be on a TV too? Would appreciate someone with the supported devices to comment how it works and how you use it.

Gnome shows like a million of open with Krita entries.

I just hate it, need to remove Krita, stopped using it after Gimp is Wayland native.
