  • it really sucks tho, because most chromium forks still force you to use a google account in order to sync, and thats if they don’t strip google entirely. there’s brave, but I haven’t had the best of experiences with that browser.

    I can still self host something like floccus to “sync” bookmarks, and use kde connect to send browser tabs from one device to another, but I still wish it was as convenient as firefox; which iirc, let’s you self host their sync service


  • Not sure if this will help, but find my device on F-Droid is awesome. You can use generic SMS and send “fmd locate” or you can use third party apps such as signal. This makes it so it’ll only trigger whenever you receive that text message rather it running 24/7

    It allows you to setup a trusted set of contacts who can then send you a text message “fmd locate”, and it’ll reply with an openstreetmaps link showing where you are. It’s not real time tho

    And you can disable it simply by turning off your location








  • Bazzite is my first true experience with an immutable distro, and wow, what a magical moment it was.

    I’ve been eyeing on fedora 40’s release for some time now because it fixes all the Wayland problems for Nvidia cards. One night my grandma needed some help, so I walked away from my PC, it automatically suspended, came back 30 or so minutes later, and when I logged in I was just automatically on KDE 6 with fedora 40, didn’t even reboot.

    This is truly the year of the Linux desktop.
