- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 1 week ago:
Autofill is still an issue though. I can’t recall which settings are off by default but I found I need them a lot of times and so I always have to enable them and give accessibility permissions to Bitwarden, which sometimes it loses. It really annoys me and if it can annoy me it can’t be used by people who don’t want to deal with any tech that doesn’t work out of the box.
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 1 week ago:
As someone who is way too tech literate I would argue tech should be made more accessible. I wholeheartedly disagree with the walled garden approach, but the fact that I just had a conversation with my friends with the result of “but I won’t use a password manager, because it’s too complicated” is very eye opening.
Here’s my setup for instance: Bitwarden, I log into my own server (which it self is kind of a hidden setting), then go into Settings > Autofill, check everything, grant a dozen obscure permissions (most people won’t know what they are) and then sometimes it just doesn’t work. Yet again sometimes it randomly loses said permissions and I have to grant them again, meaning I couldn’t even help someone while setting it up, because eventually it might break.
People should be able to download a password manager of their choosing and then grant a “this is a password manager” option, which shouldn’t be easily exploitable. Instead apps and websites should clearly declare login forms, but they don’t really so these apps need a fuckton of permissions, over which we should obviously have granular control, so fucking password managers of all things become a powertool.
And these kinds of things happen ridiculously often, over way too much different tech stuff.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I used to watch them, for me the content has gotten a bit boring, but they still occasionally upload some interesting stuff. Also I used to listen to their podcast every week and it’s still one of my favorites, I just don’t get to listen to podcasts as much.
As for their controversies I think they’ve handled them well, but we don’t have to agree on that.

I’d argue with calling him software illiterate, I think as a first time linux user, using pop_os! which was kind of obscure back then (even is now if you ask me), he should have been some computer mage not to run into some similar problem eventually. I mean steam uninstalling the desktop? Sure if you know linux you will have several clues that this is about to happen, but someone coming from windows who doesn’t even know yet what a desktop environment on linux is or how it operates can’t be expected to understand instantly. When I came over to linux I certainly didn’t.
I think Linus is like average windows poweruser level. If he never touched the software before, he won’t magically understand it, but if he manages to fuck up bad, that means most other people would have too. I guess it’s all just a question of where you draw the line for software illiteracy. For me it’s having to explain someone how to take a screenshot or log into Facebook (I love my Grandpa by the way).

I never had to deal with different headlights, but I would imagine LEDs are more efficient and have better longevity than incandescent bulbs. If they are too bright that sounds like something that could and should be easily solved for all these benefits.
