I believe it, I would love an open source alternative. But like I said, any company/group/foundation/etc willing to pull this off would need a massive budge to get it to Wacom/Apple level of refinement. And by massive, I'm talking millions at the least in order to pay devs, do marketing (because people need to buy it to be viable), and probably a lot of other things I haven't considered.

One can dream...

I don't disagree with your premise though. It's just incredibly difficult to get to Apple/Wacom levels of stylus precision and software refinement without a massive budget.

I mean, just look at GIMP: hugely capable software, but horrendous UX/UI...

Yeah man, you're delving into unreasonable territory here. What you are looking for doesn't exist outside of Apple.

It's just the Minecraft "getting hit" sound for me ๐Ÿ˜‚

First 6 months of marriage (first one, late 2010), we found an open wifi connection in our apartment complex and used that to our hearts content. This was when some people still didn't understand why securing your wifi was necessary.

I finally exported all of my passwords from Firefox, Google, and iCloud, and dumped it all into my KeePass database (synced between all of devices via Syncthing - works very well). I've been slowly going through it, sorting entries not already in KeePass into their respective folders within the database (I've used KeePass since high school, I have a system ๐Ÿ˜…), deleting duplicates, and changing insecure passwords/adding 2FA as I come across them.

After everything was imported to KeePass and backed up, I deleted all passwords from both accounts and turned off their password saving options. Also changed the "password autofill" option on my Pixel to Keepass2Android, so it's now the only password handler on any device I own.

Also filled the downloaded CSVs with random numbers and saved them, a few times, then permanently deleted them. No version history either.

Ha! At least your brain has the decency to recommend something else that'll be more fun.

It only happens when I plan something, like working on a specific computer or one of my cars or bikes. My scooter needs some attention (little guy fell over yesterday due to me putting it on the center stand on top of soft asphault crack sealant ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ), and I put it off because creating doomsday scenarios in Universe Sandbox until 1AM was more appealing for some reason ๐Ÿ™ƒ.

To be clear: I LIKE working on my vehicles. It's liberating.

Half the time my brain just says "nah" to whatever I was about to do without giving me any alternatives so I just sit there, for a while, thinking about other things I could do instead.

That's usually how it goes when I get unexpected "free time". I sit and think about all the things I could do while watching the clock tick life away...

I hate when I plan a specific "fun" activity for a specific time (like firing up a new server and testing it after kids go to bed), but when the time comes to do said task, my brain goes "nah, [other thing] is more fun" and suddenly it's 2 weeks later and the initial activity has been successfully avoided.

It's like two parts of my brain are fighting against each other. Drives me absolutely insane.

Yeah I just straight up pirate movies now, I don't even try to hide it from people anynore. It's clear to me at this point that all these companies care about is getting richer by the minute off the backs of the common man, and their excuses for doing so are getting more and more pathetic.

I blame my entire self-hosting hobby trajectory on a single piece of software that I used over a decade ago and fell absolutely in love with:

CCC One

If any of you have ever worked in collision repair (body shop, insurance, estimating, etc), you know what I'm talking about. The user interface was essentially - you open the program and are presented with a list of all the vehicles that have visited your shop, with some basic identifying info including the current status (estimate only, in repair, etc). You select a vehicle and open it up, and you're presented with everything related to that vehicle, including estimates, workorders, POs, parts, service time, repair time, photos, ties to LKQ and other used parts vendors for pricing, and a host of other useful shit - all separated neatly into tabs and clickable links.

I've been going mad trying to find something in the FOSS world that comes even close to this in order to keep track of my own projects, inlcuding vehicles, computer builds, other random shit. So far though, I have found only kanban boards (which are missing key project management features), or full-fledged CRM suites with way more added bloat than I will ever use.

I'm not looking for FOSS software with a 1:1 parity to CCC One; but there has got to be SOMETHING in the FOSS world that at least has some semblance of this capability. I use Planka right now, and it's fine, but there is just so much left to be desired.

Am I just expecting too much? If I am, please tell me. Or maybe help me better utilize the tools I already have.

Thank you SO SO MUCH to all who contribute to the FOSS community, you guys are serious rock stars. I barely understand if and for loops...

UEFI has been the norm for well over a decade at this point. If you're trying to run a brand new GPU in a 15+ year-old system, you've already made many mistakes.
