Honestly, it doesn’t matter, even if every single 3rd party voter went for Harris, Trump still wins

Are these emails you need to memorize? Diceware would work.

Otherwise I’d just use something like simplelogin and just have it automatically generate one. Then just save it in your password manager.

Honestly, they just shouldn’t have added support. GNOMEs been causing problems for basically everyone else for a long time. If they want to do their own thing, that’s fine, but we shouldn’t but everyone else shouldn’t have to do extra work to accommodate them.

People learn about different things at different times. If we care about promoting privacy we should be accomodating and not hostile about that.

In addition to everythong everyone has said, one major thing that people often don’t think about privacy is how it relates to enshittification.

Modern software services try to optimize everything to make as much money as possible. Everything is a/b tested, and whatever increases some arbitrary metric is what gets released.

They do this by tracking a ton of metrics about how you interact with everything. I know where I work we collect data about every time you click on anything, how long you hover over buttons, etc.

Good for him

You’ve been hearing about it because there’s been a lot of pushback at all stages of them doing it. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen, they’ve kept pushing for it and there’s no indication they won’t go through with it.

Oh, sorry, it’s called “Panels” app store says it has ads, but I just denied it network access and I’ve never seen one.

Aegis, its not on by default, but its recently customizeable, so play around with the settings

Edge Panels are a samsung only thing, but I use a similar app on my phone.

I use it less as a dock and more as a way to access stuff I want to quickly be able to go in and out of.

For example, the 2fa app I use auto closes when I copy something to the clipboard, so I just swipe into the app, copy it, and I’m back where I was.

Its also great for apps I don’t use frequently enough to want on my home screen, but when I do need them I don’t want to hunt around for them

Oh yeah, they’re free to decide, I just disagree with them! I get the decision though, and if I were on charge of a large distro, I’d probably make the same choice (until plasma is on a normal release cycle)

Yeah, like I’m all in favor of having an opinionated design, but their dominance makes their bad decisions actively harm every other de. Stuff like refusing to compromise on cross-desktop protocols

Their whole attitude towards development is similar, down to not working with other dekstops and insisting on doing things the way that works best for them regardless if it’s worse for the linux ecosystem overall.

Yeah, KDE’s basically at the point you don’t need GNOME imo, it’s so customizable you can make it basically look/function the same as GNOME without having to put up with GNOME’s dumber decisions

It’s actually fine, those permissions are all for actual features, and you only need to grant if you want to use the features that require them.
