All fine. Your comment where you mentioned autistic suddenly made me "understand" the let-s-call-them misunderstandings in this thread. And I agree about the toxic world, but we're all in the same boat, so I'd say we may as well be nice to each other at least a few seconds per day. Sometimes small things can make a big difference.

Thanks, and go go gadget valid link! https://pdodds.w3.uvm.edu/files/papers/others/1976/robinson1976a.pdf

Well, I didn't see the other comments till now, and wrote Upvoted as an alternative to Insightful which I was intending it to sound. I appreciated your comment because I think Google likely have their own priorities.

I've heard that on Microsoft OS the root user is named Administrator (and on some BSD OS root is called Charlie!), so yes.

On the desktop it does. But on Android things are maybe different ? Not directly related but I remember (long time ago) wanting to tether from an Android phone with Mullvad VPN app in use, to a computer, only to find out that the Android defaults (In Android not in the Mullvad app) needed a button swiped to make it work correctly on the other device.

Very nice.

The Ubuntu laptop had to connect to company vpn. It were using openconnect-network-manager-gnome thingy to do that. Recently the company upgraded their vpn software which is sorta incompatible with openconnect and requires a modified user agent string for it to prompt for 2FA keys. package in ubuntu 22.04 is too old to modify that in the gui.

If you have a good idea what I could have tried let me know, love to hear new ideas.

Hmm, tough one. Suggesting to post your question as a new post in relevant Lemmy /c/ or StackExchange and so on. Here as a not so new comment of a comment it will get little exposure I guess.

Upvoted.

Well, yes, I prefer desktop. But you know, in some countries some people have nothing else than phones. I am glad that Mullvad has posted this and hopefully Google can fix the bugs soon.

The book you mention appears to be quite something! (below parts of a description I found on the Internet). Thanks for sharing, guess it makes a perfect gift book for a friend of mine :)

An off-beat introduction to the workings of electricity for people who wish Richard Brautigan and Kurt Vonnegut had teamed up to explain inductance and capacitance to them.

To understand your toaster or your fax machine, it doesn't really matter whether there are electrons or not, and it's a lot easier and more fun to start with the toaster than with quarks and calculus. The book is mildly weird, often funny, always clear and easy to understand.

OK, it's more than mildly weird.The book has been reprinted numerous times since 1991 and has achieved minor cult status. Reviewed and praised in dozens of electronics and educational magazines, it is used as a text by major corporations, colleges, high schools, military schools and trade schools. It has been studied by education programs at colleges across the United States.

Personally, I prefer lsd over exa/eza. It’s also written in Rust, but offers much more customizability. It has an entire config file with lots of options.

Nice, thanks.
