Hell, even common stuff like the Elgato Stream Deck either doesnt work, works very poorly, or can’t replicate all of the functionality.

It could be the browser’s password manager triggering the system keyring to unlock.

Thats a very depressing article, im sorry to hear the bad news.
- Comment on Air Tag Alternative 1 month ago:
Open source devs that suck are worse than non- open source devs that are actually into their project!
Non-open source devs suck by virtue of being closed source, period. It doesn’t matter how good their project is, if it’s closed it goes in the trash.

- Comment on In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks 2 months ago:
The themes and tech support are totally fine to charge for (as long as they’re original themes that the zorinOS developers made or contracted someone to make).
Brave browser as default is borderline as bad as just sticking to windows if the point of you getting away from windows is to dodge the shady stuff Microsoft has started doing.
- Comment on How One Uncaught Rust Exception Took Out Cloudflare 2 months ago:
He really wasn’t at first, and it was extremely clear that he allowed it in as an olive branch to the Rust community. A “let’s see if I’m wrong by giving it a chance” moment.
- Comment on How One Uncaught Rust Exception Took Out Cloudflare 2 months ago:
I think my biggest gripe with the Culture of Rust is that they keep trying to force it into the Linux kernel and utilities, but even worse than that, they keep trying to replace things WITH DIFFERENT LICENSES.

They still support the original steam controller and the steam link though.

Why would you call closed source client apps “open”?
- Comment on Air Tag Alternative 2 months ago:
Do note though that MeshCore is proprietary and has a licensing cost to unlock all of its features whereas Meshtastic is open source and free as in freedom.

So the radio mesh range depends on a couple factors but the short answer is “yes, easily.”
The long answer is that the world record for longest meshtastic/LoRa message is 90km, but you can easily get 1/10th that with some buildings and whatnot blocking the way. Getting really good antennas and sticking a node way up high like in your attic, on your roof, or in a tree and using a personal device closer to the ground that bounces off of it is the most “ideal” scenario for a home setup. I currently talk with people three cities over regularly.
Because there are no cellphone towers, you’re kind of responsible for getting your node high up if nobody else has set up a
ROUTERnode on a nearby mountain (by the way the router role is not the same as your home router, its supposed to be like a cellphone tower but way up on a mountain, not a rooftop of a tall building).And if you’re the first person in your area, Heltec often sells their chipsets in 2 pack bundles with cases and batteries. Give one to a friend and ask them to pay it forward if they like it!

- Comment on 4chan faces UK ban after refusing to pay ‘stupid’ fine 3 months ago:
Oh meshtastic is really cool but even without GPS broadcasting, it is FAR from private. There are some serious flaws with its encryption apparently that the devs don’t want to address.
That being said, meshtastic is awesome and everyone should try it. Its a lot of fun and you can “meet” cool people in your community who are kind of maketspace-adjacent.
Also don’t listen to the meshcore grifters, meshcore is proprietary and requires you to pay for licenses to use its full feature set. They’re like reverse Linux users who just show up whenever meshtastic is mentioned to try to convince you to give your freedoms away
- Comment on 4chan faces UK ban after refusing to pay ‘stupid’ fine 3 months ago:
Those tech giants operate in the EU and have EU customers. 4Chan does neither and stores no user data. At that point the onus is on the user and the UK/EU should be going after their own citizens that use it if they have a problem with it being used. Ideally, they wouldn’t go after anyone but here we are.
