Thank you for your suggestion.

Having just tried it, it is not for me. The categories is there, but having the search/app drawrr on the top won’t work me, especially with these stupid large phone everyone makes. (I’m guessing theres a way to change it, but I didnt get that far)

The ultimate reason its not for me is how widgets are a scrolling thing. It’s a different idea, but I like the widgets on my home screen where I can passively see them.

If there’s a way to change that, I didnt see it. I didn’t even find a way to get rid of the big clock at the bottom.

Cool, first impressions are pretty good.

It took a minute to find, the play store has some not free thing. But I found the github page.

My bad, it is collabora

Edit: I figured out what happened My brain combined LibreOffice and Collabroa and got Calibe the fantastic eBook managar.

I love you can set eq per device. My phone speaker, headphones and car all have their own settings. Its fantastic.

Nova launcher.

I Haven’t found one that works so well with KLWP or has good app drawer organization. I like having folders and tabs to split everything up. Having one big list of apps (70% I dont use often and another 10% bloat) isn’t useful.

Have you tried calibre collabora office? It not 100% there, but could work. (No idea how well it’d work with next cloud)

This is an Intresting one. I’m curious what the deal was.

Assuming accuweather is paying Firefox, thats probably a good thing because Firefox definatly needs to diversify its income.

I wonder what exactly AccuWeather gets. Is only for more web traffic (which is significant) or is it something else?

Big LED light outside bathroom

paper sign underneath light “vaping detected”

The amount of over enginnering that went into this is why we can’t have nice things.

If you want to record it, hook it up to a computer somewhere, detect whenever the sensor state changes and send an email to the admins…or just point a camera at it and the doorway.

You’d expect some sort of privacy in bathrooms

That is the whole point of this mess. The alternative is a person or camera INSIDE the bathroom at all times. The camera would be so much cheaper to deploy…but privavcy laws, rightfully, say no.

With the sensor all it does is say “smoke/vape detected”, from there an adult can check the hall cam to see who went in or just go right in to catch the kid.

I assume with the monitor, it makes it easy for a teacher sitting outside the bathroom and can see the popup (in some schools they already have them to check passes and listen for screeming)

A privacy policy could literally say “our policy is to track and store nothing”. Having one does not make it evil.

In the case of Google, I would not be surprised if it stays running in the background using a relatively large amount ram just for fun.

I was talking about the individual card limits that can be set, those definatly work.

Edit, looking my account, I too have 250daily and 1000 monthy limit. The next paragraph might be be outdated?

I know the total daily limit is “adaptive” or something set based on your spending habits. I’d prefer setting the limit myself, but it is what it is.

1. Ultimitaly its up to the user to remember the master password. I’m not familiar with how bitwarden works, but do use keepssXC. I hear bitwarden is better for less techical people due to having built in account/sync options. (You can also self-host BW if you want)

Keepass is file based, it is up to you to backup the file, for most users putting it an auto-synced cloud drive folder is their best bet. It’s automatic, multi-platform and offsite. Many technical users use sync thing (or equivalent) to manage the file across multiple backup locations.

KeePassXC is essentially a GUI for KeePass datbase, like word and openoffice can both open a .doc file, multiple programs can open a keepass file. If KeePassXC dies, theres others options for opening the file.

That being said, IOS options suck, theres one called Strongbox that is, in my opinion, the best. Its not FOSS like the others. Free version works 100% no problems, but they ask a high $20/yr sub or $90 lifetime for a handful of nonessential features (I’d love an decent alternative if anyone has one).

For Android I like KeepassDX and Keepass2Android.

2. Getting hacked is a legitimate concern. However the greatest risk is still duplicate passwords. The time it will take crack an individual database is going to be less well spent than dumping a million username/password sets into a thousand sites and hoping for a match.

Realistically, if you’re the specific target of a hacker going specificaly after your database files you’re best off freezing your credit and bank accounts.

If your database gets hacked, there are a few ways you can midigate the damge, its up to an individual to balance convince and security.

First is 2fa. Keepass works great for TOTP 2fa, with browser integrations, its a breeze signing into sites. If you want more security, you would have a seperate database file with a different master password for 2fa. Now a hacker needs to crack 2 databases.

Another way to midigate the risk is to seperate whatever emails you use from the main bunch, this way if the main databse gets compromised, you won’t lose the emails that let you reset everything else. If the email gets cracked, they won’t have a convient list of accounts to go mess with. Also make sure the emails have all the security and recovery options available setup.

3, bonus round Finally for fincial security, don’t have your credit card saved on every site. I don’t let most of them store it all and use privacy.com for pretty much every thing these days. Set transaction limits on regularly used sites, and set up a “1-time use” card for anythibg irregular.

Even if some brakes into, for example my amazon account, they are going to find a $100 purchase won’t work. I’ll get an email and can just cancel the privacy card for amazon (I’d probably kill them all to be safe) and then work on resecuring everything.

To top it off Privacy.com it self has a dedicated credit card attached with a strict limit to midigate damge.

This is not really a useful answer, but its an option —

make a scary looking autoreply; “the link you have sent is has been detected as mailware and has been blocked”. Just play dumb and ask for a PDF/some other means of file transfer.

If I understand correctly, its what the NSA “allegedly” doesn’t do to U.S. citizens already. Except, these countries are being public about it. This way they can actually follow through without the “secret getting out”.

The problem with that plan is it requires actual punishment for a large corporation and that is bad for campaign funds.

I’ve been using Thorium recently with no issues. Before I was using Vivaldi.

Edit, Firefox is my main browser. Thorium is used as an alt for the 2 websites that don’t work in Firefox.

Edit 2; seems the developer of Thorium has made some err questionable choices. Not with the browser itself, but a mild furry nsfw easter egg, and a link to some site talking about their beliefs against a common medical procedure performed on baby boys. I have not seen either for myself as they have both been removed as the browser gained a sudden spike in popularity.
