It's amusing how Google mentions stuff as being "exclusive to android" and then lies about it

Yay the torment Nexus is now faster

Why YOU should write a Wayland compositor

I don't really know how to do that

That's why it's important to build a personal security and privacy model and a good idea of what you are and are not willing to give up. Instead of blindly chasing after the things that everyone else does. Since for most people, that idea of living in a forest is usually unobtainable

I personally think you should just allow cookies indefinitely. There are honestly so many bigger risks from phishing and other forms of social engineering that as long as your family isn't leaving their computer unlocked in a public place, I wouldn't say there's really too much of a risk in leaving cookies enabled.

I apologize that this doesn't exactly answer your question, but I'd like to suggest an alternative. I'd like to also ask, is your family using a password manager by any chance? And if so, are they making use of passkeys on supported websites. Many modern websites, including Google and Facebook, support them. And they require virtually no interaction aside from unlocking the password manager. It's still a form of two-factor authentication, but it's far more convenient than anything out there.

I also don't really think you should try to force Linux on people who aren't particularly comfortable or familiar using it.

I worry they'll get frustrated to the point that they'll go out and splurge on new macbook air when they already have a perfectly functional laptop with functional OS.

If you're worried that they're going to go and do that, then Linux might not serve their needs. Linux might be a fully functional desktop system, but it's also one that isn't an out of the box experience either. There's certainly been a lot of improvements, But I don't think that any Linux Desktop Environment is ever going to reach the same level of intuitiveness as something like Windows or macOS. I would certainly love to see it that way. But I think it's just an issue of the people who actually use it.

I understand looking out for family and ensuring they don't spend excess amounts of money. But you also shouldn't take it upon yourself to try and dictate how your family uses the computer either. Linux wasn't built as a commercially supported desktop operating system with years of full-time researchers studying topics surrounding human computer interaction with a multi-million dollar budget. It was built to be a free as in freedom alternative to the mainstream systems that are available (I personally call it "The problem solving platform" for this reason) by a loose knit group of volunteers who love computers and know a lot about them. Most people who use a computer use them to do work, and not really for promoting a personal agenda.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't try to get your family members to use Linux, I'm just saying that you shouldn't force them. You should put their best interests first that can help them.

I'm sorry to go on such a long rant about this. I just see a lot of people who I believe to vastly overestimate the willingness of others in certain places. And the whole part of "worrying about someone spending their own money" just kind of struck a red flag to me.

Needs more material 3

Aside from the fact that it's owned by alphabet, what's so bad about .xyz?

I hope this means a US release is soon

Chromium is still open source. And it can still be deviated from. Different for the sake of being different seems ridiculous.

If it wasn't a joke, perhaps it might actually get them somewhere at this point

I don't hate copilot but I seldom use it enough to justify having a taskbar button for it

Stick to the walled garden. There are monsters out there.

Okay, have fun inside!

And this is probably where Google makes a lot of its ad money

Honestly, as long as it connects wirelessly and can quickly switch between devices in a single click, I'm fine. I mainly own the pixel buds pro

I hope Mastodon will incorporate this

Suits the brand just right given how many edges they've sanded off the software

Lol why even download a Bible app when you could get an ePUB?

Pretty nice.

Side note though, do people here actually read the articles here? It's pretty obvious this would be a part of FMD. iPhone has already been doing this for years

I'm pretty sure you would be able to opt out of this. Just like the rest of Find My Device.
