Same experience. I was quite surprised when I discovered the app to be so limited for users who operate in repeatable "mode". It's like these creators all read the checklist manifesto and didn't understand the core conce

Same here. Been searching for such apps for years (Android phone) and still haven't found one app designed for people who use repeatable lists. All the "best" apps I have tested are a complete mess when it comes to simply res

I would rather recommend you test the profile switching option: 1. Change the shortcut from firefox.exe to "firefox.exe" -ProfileManager 2. Uncheck the "use the selected profile without asking at startup" 3. Create as ma

In my opinion, we offer a more trustworthy relationship in three ways: 1. We don't use ambiguous wording in our policies. 2. Any employee interested in knowing how we process these requests can actually come physically and see in detai

I don't know the answer but with my smartphone I'd rather connect to a website through a VPN running on my own server (with pihole and dns sinkhole), than actually browsing any website directly.

+1 The web and mobile world is plagued with prompts stating that "X needs to access your data Y" or "X needs permission Z" to "do the job". Worst part of it? Developers and architects are often the first ones t

Hi D., thanks for the advice on tlp, I had never heard of it. I noted it down for my next tryout. For Suse, I will be honest, I am not brave enough to switch to another distribution now that I have learned my basics on another one. If tlp w

Well, that is my opinion. If I take an analogy: think of it as if you were typing a message in an IM chat window. Anything you'd type would be sent immediately to the service owner, whether or not you click "send" at the end.

Four reasons I gave up Linux each time I tried: 1. Laptop battery falling to half what I get under Windows. 2. No full-disk encryption, there is always one partition that stays in clear. 2. There is no hibernate. 3. I need to run Office app

For those still looking for a standalone RSS reader that can work offline, or if like me your web consumption was fully filtered by FeedReader for years, I can recommend QuiteRSS.

Indeed. This concept is sadly too often misunderstood. Many users feel they get everything when they ask for their data, but these data sets are usually restricted in two ways: 1. You only get the data you provided to the service, not the d

Facebook doesn't really get a strong advantage in keeping keys to read your messages on its own servers. Intelligence services would benefit from this, so would fraudulent or corrupted employees. For Facebook, storing keys to your mess

Thank you for the reference. My only issue with his analysis was that he proposed an income in the form of a monetary payment. I think this is exactly why UBI is impossible and we should rather have universal service. In other words: one sh

I can only agree with in the way that the games do not exactly model "real life". I guess whoever had such a model would likely exploit it for personal gain rather than making a good video game. Still, the better sophisticated MMO

I played an online MMORPG called "Anarchy Online" (AO) while in my early twenties, probably for a little bit more than a year. At a dinner with friends, I started talking about the game and why I liked it. During that discussion,

Fully agree with you. I also sense there is an increasing acceptance by consumers, that it is normal to not be allowed anymore to own a legal copy of a digital work (e.g. picture, movie, music, software, etc.) for personal use. Most of thes
