It’s not open source, but I got a lifetime license for Enpass over a decade ago and it’s done everything I’ve ever needed it for. I think stacksocial occasionally has new lifetime codes for sale. I like the idea of Proton Pass as others have said, but it feels a bit like putting all my eggs in one basket, which is a mistake I already made with Google before (context: I use Proton for email). I think Keepass is the next best option if dedicated to staying FOSS.

After trying Zorin and having a host of issues, I’m slowly replacing that dual boot option with Mint. Excited to give it a shot.

Also stuck on Windows but for specific software (Adobe & Revit). Zorin has looked like a promising distro for a little while now, at least coming from Windows.

Year 1 inflation: “We wanted to make sure your raise kept up.” Year 2: “We’re a fledgling company!”

Lived in NYC and every time rent rose to where I couldn’t afford it, I would have to blow my savings relocating. A few years ago I instead used the money to gtfo of the state entirely. Love that city but god damn if it isn’t a huge trap.

Dang. Is Proton the most reliable alternative when deGoogling, then? Skiff looked promising, aside from having kind of a dumb name.

Returnal

I recently played BG3 on a Steam Deck using third party wireless Joycons while walking on a treadmill. Lost close to 20lbs. If anyone else has recommendations of other top-down games that aren’t camera-heavy that might be good treadmill games lmk! First and third person mess me up a bit. Was thinking of replaying Disco Elysium or finally trying to beat Hollow Knight.

Jessie what the fuck are you talking about

Finish carpentry building science labs…as an architect who has recently taken an interest in building science, that sounds interesting. The jump from programmer is interesting, too. Like, did you have prior experience in carpentry, or did you go in blind?

Love folks trying new stuff in the construction space. Concrete produces a lot of CO2, but it also lasts forever if you don’t demolish it. Seems like the material benefits from having forms (unless I misread it). Would be interested to see how it pairs with a modular system like ICFs (IMFs in this case I guess lol).

There’s an extension that makes all YT thumbnails generic stills from the video. I think it is called deArrow?

The most recent time I went to get glasses, I asked about blue light frames and the guy stopped me and said something along the lines of, “Don’t bother, they’re actually bs unless you get the ones with super yellow lenses - those are legit. Or use computer programs to make your screen orange, that can also help. Folks just wanted to find a way to charge more for glasses, and it’s been twisted so you actually sound more informed for getting blue light coatings. You’ll notice that I didn’t mention blue light or even pitch it to you - you brought it up on your own.”

Thought that was kind of fascinating and kinda cool of the salesman to talk me out of spending more money.
