Does it rely on some kind of central server that allows devices to discover each other?
Are people really that dumb? I'm afraid to use apps made by those people.
» I’m generally skeptical of these online subscription password managers, and that’s going to be the focus of the rest of this article.
I may be wrong but he talks about online password managers only, that's why his conclusion is «if you want a password manager in your browser, sue the one that's built-in». Otherwise, separate password managers are good, but author isn't talking about them.
Blender, Inkscape, Krita and GIMP are all good software that can compete with paid alternatives, but only Blender was successful at making modern UI that gives you fast comfortable workflow.
- Non-Google, non-chromium, non-blink engine browser - Support for good keyboard navigation (vimium etc) - Support for Ublock Origin
And the only browser that satisfies those requirements is ruining my user experience by removal of «compact» mode (I know it can be brought back but it's temporary) and making UI bigger without any reason, because having unnecessary empty spaces everywhere is what's considered good design now.
Recently I opened some page that was filled with ads and banners and only 17% of my screen was actually filled by content that I want to be reading. Now, with the new Proton™ design I guess I'll have to get used to 12% of my screen being used.
I hate that too. On my phone that is 2.5x larger than my old Samsung I see less information on screen compared to old phone, because everything needs to be «light» and «clean».
She tried very hard with Wine, PlayOnLinux, tried all sorts of alternative offices, VMs, but gave up and had to install Windows anyway because majority of people simply refuse to use open data formats and use proprietary closed formats.
I'm also running Windows because I have to do some CorelDraw drawings and don't want to bother with wine etc. Otherwise I would be running Linux for sure.
You need 3GB RAM to open some web pages in your browser nowadays and that's insane.
Also, some of my apps have some play store popups asking me if I want to update the app every time there's a new version, even though I explicitly turned off auto updates and update notifications, again, with no way to turn off their friendly reminders.
I hate modern «you better do what we think you should be doing» software.
I'm happy that I have LTSC version of Windows that just works and doesn't have those popups (but Windows Defender still has some annoying notifications that can't be disabled AFAIK).
Recently, Whatsapp forced me to update it because it refused to work if I don't. Meanwhile, there are open source IM clients that were made 10+ years ago and still work without any updates just fine. I wish all software was like that.
Or maybe you could just reply to my comment.
This bug needs to be fixed, otherwise it may not be usable on some PCs. Otherwise, Inkscape is really great.
