I haven't looked at this one yet, but until someone compares it to Chezmoi and points out where it's better I'm not even looking attention I fear. Chezmoi is just that good.

http://cuberule.com has solved this question definitively.

Google and apple are the ones "not respecting the users" by focusing exclusively on lowest common denominator users and pushing to increase their monopoly controls.

The day Android stops letting Syncthing have access to my entire filesystem is the day Android becomes entirely useless to me.

I agree that this access is indeed exploited by Facebook and the like, but the solution simply can't be to remove the capability entirely.

Also curious: you use celebrity endorsements as a goalpost for what should make people care enough to vote. Why? Given the wacky things they often get up to I'd almost see their endorsement as a negative.

I think you've nailed the reason why these rootkits keep getting added, but I feel like there must be something else these game companies want... Why do they keep adding it to single player games for example?

They HAVE to be assumed to be hostile bad actors. I definitely hope valve stands their ground on this one.

I had misremembered: it was the Hera launch the FAA cleared because there was no reentry risk. Europa clipper was expected to get the same treatment, but it seems the FAA and SpaceX were happy with their understanding of what happened with the 2nd stage anomaly and returned Falcon 9 to flight. [3]

NASA and the FAA were pretty clear on this actually, they don't see any risk due to that previous failure, falcon 2nd stages haven't had any problems with their primary burn in a long time.

I prefer the honesty really....

When I'm forced to upgrade to windows 11 I simply won't have Live anymore, because I won't be doing that, and so I haven't purchased the latest version and am starting to experiment with the alternatives. Makes me sad though, it'd be so great to have on Linux.

Big companies do this. I have signed up for things using a +filter email address, only to receive the emails from that company that is signed up to get at my plane address, without the +filter part.

I've heard Houston is worse. That's kinda terrifying.

Getting your hardware working right is still the biggest problem. The games work great, occasionally audio/video driver issues necessitate some fiddling. (advantage to the Deck is that this goes away.)

Spotify is actually a great value, but they keep making it worse and worse. If they had announced a price increase along side of an announcement of "we're doing this to compensate for the expected loss of income that will occur when we remove podcasts from the UI as we refocus on our core competency of delivering you amazing music and helping you discover amazing new music" we'd be cheering the price increase.

But no, the price will go up, and they'll F-up the UI even further to make it even harder to actually find music in it, and they still won't offer high quality streams.

"Get what you pay for" is fine, but what they're giving me is getting closer and closer to what I'd expect to get for free.

At the bottom of that tab is the "Search shortcuts", which makes it trivially easy to have multiple search engines installed and use the one you want from your search bar. (I use @g for google, @d for DDG, and @k for Kagi, with an @v for DevDocs.io)

I know several large IT orgs that have done this when Legal got involved. Literally using a 2nd phone to take pictures of Signal chats on the phone in question.

It's possible you have some Google app running and that's what's doing it? I would look into which apps the notifications are coming from, you should be able to completely eliminate the problem.
