This sort of happened to me at work. We got a new laptop amidst a massive time crunch, and didn’t configure anything before installing our instrument’s software and getting to work. At the time, we didnt have a paid 365 account or anything, so we were just saving data in folders on the desktop at first. A couple months later, all the files, folders and launchers on the desktop disappeared, replaced by a single icon called “where are my files”. It was a web link that directed us to buy 365 or else lose all our files…that we thought we were saving LOCALLY.

OnePlus has a pretty good track record for this

Weird, I have a less extreme, but opposite experience. More stuff works better on Wayland for my laptop (Debian 12 + KDE, Ryzen 5500u)

I have a Lenovo Yoga 6 13" that I’ve had a pretty good experience with. Screen rotation didn’t work properly on Ubuntu 20.04 when I tried it back then, but I switched to Fedora 36 KDE, which worked great for over a year. I’m now on Debian 12 + KDE with an equally good experience. Fingerprint reader is not supported, but I didn’t want to use it anyway.

Jfc every goddamn time I need to fix something on my work laptop this is the exact (and only) response I find

Thank you for your detailed responses - I’m going to look into KeePass and maybe a Yubikey after reading your description of how it works. I hadn’t considered a Yubikey before mostly because I’m prone to lose things, but also because my encrypted file password is >12 characters and a fairly random mix of lower and uppercase letters, numbers and special characters.

Thanks, great point. Lots of suggestions for KeePass here, so I’ll definitely look into it. I appreciate the command line tool recommendation as well, as that’s my preference. Cheers!

Any obvious holes in keeping a text file on my laptop that I encrypt when not using it? Using ccrypt on linux.

I do not want my passwords - even encrypted - on the cloud or at the mercy of a 3rd party in any fashion.

When I was four years old, my dad shaved his mustache, and I swear to God I thought it was a stranger who came out of the bathroom and I ran away screaming.

I think that sums up the cognitive state of these particular conspiracists.

Is it fraudulent for a mechanic working flat rate to complete a 10 hour job in 6 hours and collect the full 10 hours of pay?

I keep reading this, but I haven’t had any issues at all over the past year with Fedora KDE and proprietary Nvidia drivers installed via flatpak. Is it more of a problem when installed via dnf?

I briefly tried Ubuntu on my Lenovo Yoga 6 a couple years ago, and the rotation was abysmal. I then tried Fedora KDE and it worked brilliantly with no tweaking. Just hopped to Debian w/KDE and having the same great experience.

Seems like most politicians want us fighting right vs left, rather than bottom vs top. And a scary number of people just eat that shit up
