but these days im considering a different bank entirely that doesnt require an app in the first place
For me, it’s not that some banks require a mobile app, because they don’t. Why I like to use the mobile banking apps is because of PUSH notifications for transactions and for approval (like 3DS). I could use the mobile websites, but then I would need to drop down to SMS confirmation which is less convenient and less secure as well.
Ok. That seems important then. Having to type the WiFi password would be even more annoying. :) The other part seems important, too.
Now it makes me wonder how non technical people who have auto login enabled deal with it. I mean, I’d expect it to work like on Windows.
That’s a bummer. I still don’t know what it’s useful for, except for not having to type SSH passphrases. I think it doubles as a password manager? I don’t need that, I use Bitwarden.
my printer just works! Out of the box, no issues
Ha, I’m going to test my dad’s printer in Linux Mint this weekend, because I plan to migrate him from Windows 10. I remember printers on Linux used to be a PITA ~20 years ago, but I also read somewhere that (some?) printers now work driverless (no idea how that works), so we’ll see.
I thought those materials were used because of wireless charging and because they make the phone body double as an antenna.
This actually looks brilliant! And I see it’s German, which is a plus. Thank you!
Hm… Worth a try. :) Somehow I didn’t find it, I only saw something called “notebookbar”. Thanks. I don’t use any office suites (besides Google Spreadsheets to keep track of my video games spend) myself so I’m clueless.
I had an iPhone 5 for a few years, it was the perfect size for me. When Apple enlarged their smartphones with iPhone 6 I jumped back to Android because I had more options there. I went back to iPhone 11 Pro because it was again on the smaller side. After years of rejecting >=6’’ phones I finally gave in with Pixel 8 and Pixel 10…
Signal and Telegram both offer comparable functionality without mandatory recurring fees
Telegram introduced a subscription named Telegram Premium a few years ago. You get similar functionality there – setting colors to your profile or groups that you’re part of, custom emojis (including animated ones), custom stickers, an indicator that you’re on Premium, custom profile statuses, increased limits for sending files, etc. There’s a lot more, I just listed some off the top of my head. They’ve been pushing people into Premium. Telegram is perfectly usable without that, of course. My favorite Premium feature is that you can require unknown senders to pay a fee to be able to send you a message :D Meanwhile, non-Premium users can get spammed normally.
How long before you’re trying tiling window managers?
I never felt the appeal. My understanding is that all windows must be on the screen all the time (but maybe some window managers support workspaces?) and I don’t like that. I like to have my web browser windows big, same as my IDE. I have 34’’ 1440p monitor and it’s too small for me to fit all the windows :)
I’m not sure how difficult OpenSuse rollbacks are.
They are actually very easy. Check the list of snapshots and note the one from before you screwed up, reboot, select the snapshot from which you want to launch the system, test, if it’s OK run sudo snapper rollback and reboot. I use LUKS / TPM with auto-unlock, so I need to reenroll the key
I know setting up Snapper to snapshot takes a few extra steps/maintance.
In openSUSE it’s set up out of the box, that was one of the reasons behind my choice of this distro.
I forgot about that! Indeed, I just closed Telegram and Slack and they are shown in the menu. Thanks!
Oh, thanks!
I have a Chipolo ONE Point attached to a keyring. I’ve been using it for ~1,5 year. I had to replace the battery once. It has never went off the grid, unlike some cheap tags that I also have. Chipolo is more expensive, but worth it in my opinion.
The difference is LMDE uses debian and its packages as a base while the “cinnamon” edition uses Ubuntu as a base.
Does that mean that the packages available to LMDE are older?
Thanks. Yeah, I do add or edit the entries on all my devices and I need them to sync fast. :) I used KeePass many, many years ago but at the time I only used it on my PC. That might have been before smartphone era, so my needs were different.
Thanks. So I guess if Bash is my default shell then fish <command> also works by analogy.
KeepassXC: My password manager of choice. Has browser autofill integration, though requires some holepunch work to function with Flatpak browsers. Explicitly is based on local files. Does not rely on cloud providers.
I use Proton Pass and Bitwarden. How do you backup your KeePass database? Do you sync it with mobile?
It was my personal GOTY 2025. Fantastic game. I actually liked it more than Bloober’s SH2R because of the setting, visual presentation, overall mood and music. I didn’t hate the combat, either.
