One thing I am missing with the browser extension (Firefox) is that while the vault is locked, sites ignore it as an option for passkeys.

So if I want to use a passkey, I need to unlock the vault and hit the passkey button. Worse, on some sites it automatically checks for passkeys. So I need to unlock the vault and then refresh the page.

Sorry, I should note that 26.3 is not released yet. This is a “snapshot”, aka a development build. The full version of 26.3 will be released in a couple of months.

I updated the title to reflect that 26.3 is not released yet.

Definitely agree, particularly when it comes to security.

Valve takes a snapshot of Arch repos, frozen in time. They then spend months developing on top of this version. And by the time it’s released, it’s multiple months out of date. They don’t pull in security updates; Arch is a rolling release, they don’t backport fixes like Debian or Fedora does.

Definitely misremembering.

Helium is great. I love how it focuses on having 0 distractions. No popups, great default settings.

Technically yes, practically no.

Windows doesn’t include the drivers to read Linux file systems (except through WSL) and Vanguard sure doesn’t either.

If you encrypt your disks, then it definitely can’t.

Proton did not claim anything; the CEO of Proton claimed that Republicans (not Trump) would do better on big tech anti-trust.

This view is not that crazy given that the person Trump appointed was doing her job quite well. Too well to the point that Trump removed her from the position later on.

They disabled it with flags, but manifest V2 still existed in the code and could be enabled. This is about Google now removing V2 from the code. That will make it harder for third party browsers to include V2, since they would need to patch it back in and develop new patches to keep it working.

Now I wish I didn’t upgrade to 26.5 from 15 a couple weeks ago. I could’ve entirely avoided the worst parts of 26 design.

Glad that compact mode will be officially supported again. Makes such as big difference on a laptop screen.

Because AIs don’t need salaries, don’t unionize, can work 24/7.

For some tasks, AI has already completely obsoleted humans. An AI can write a shitty PR filled newsletter faster and cheaper than a human. It keeps getting better at certain tasks, like programming.

All AI companies want to be the one that controls the best AI. Because if they do, then other companies will pay them to rent out AIs for cheaper than human labor.

Companies fear falling behind. So they dump loads of money into AI. And currently, investors like hearing about AI. So the more companies say and push AI, it increases investment into the company.
