It truly baffles me how teachers could morally justify that. I would immediately think "Wait, if I make my students buy my textbook for the unit, I'm just fleecing them and they have no choice in the matter." and you would naively hope that anyone else would also feel the same way.

If there's a package conflict that requires the user's choice, it shall be called an emergency meeting

There'll be a modloader in the next 5 years that will have you load .js scripts as mods

Well, in my defense I just wanted to initially try out Rust and on this particular computer, I don't have any IDE set up on it yet. However, definitely seems like an IDE is in order for me haha

But my 1998 Windows CE device that's made obsolete by those meddling modern security practices!

I'm in the same boat whether on Windows, macOS, Linux or Android. But my sister, in the same household, also using uBO on FF, has been getting the message constantly

I'll second the other comment suggesting KeePass, but the biggest issue I had with it was syncing the database across devices. Ultimately I stored it in OneDrive, but it occurred to me that at that point it wasn't much different to a cloud password manager, which I especially didn't trust.

I now self host a Vaultwarden instance from my Raspberry Pi, and that works perfectly for me, but it does require a bit of Linux experience and a spare device to run the server.

Yes, it's probably pretty demanding of the hardware but my Pi4 4GB runs:

  • Heimdall
  • Portainer
  • Vaultwarden
  • Flatnotes
  • ownCloud
  • FreshRSS
  • Paperless

The thing that gets me with this, is that Windows 11 is genuinely good in my opinion, and now that a lot of the launch day bugs have been ironed out, it's much nicer to use than Windows 10 from a UX and usability standpoint.

I feel similar with Edge. Vertical tabs, the good Microsoft integration (in my case for work), good performance, it's a totally usable web browser.

And then Microsoft squanders all of that with these invasive marketing decisions. I hate every time I start Microsoft Edge for the first time, there's these undismissable full window prompts to sign into my Microsoft account, obviously this crap that's been posted, the way Windows 10 was aggressively marketed onto Windows 7/8 users, it all leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

Working in help desk and PC repairs, I'm not looking forward to the amount of tickets and retail customers coming in confused about all this, think it's a virus, think that they must upgrade or else, that they did accidentally hit yes on this and now their machine isn't familiar to them anymore.

Greed really does ruin everything.

Just my 2c on the browser, I tend to prefer setups that I do or make as part of a guide so that I feel more in control and more aware of what's running on my PC, so I much prefer taking the time to install LibreWolf and then add a dozen extensions to it.

However, Brave is still a browser I recommend to the casual who wants more privacy for how convenient it is. And I do daily drive it on iOS too for the built in adblocking, which (to my knowledge) can't be done on the iOS build of Firefox.
