Dial-up would take several minutes just to load the framework of a modern webpage.

This.

My wife and I have 5 kids. The two eldest have phones (Pinwheel phones), and we also have a Switch and some tablets. When asked about playing on devices, we have told them more than a few times to go play with toys or to just go outside (weather permitting). Sometimes a tantrum happens, at which point they lose all device privileges for a certain amount of time until they shape up.

Hahaha, same here. No wonder they're killing it.

Pixel 9 Pro XL on Android 15.

That said, I haven't tried changing the photo gallery app yet.

The more this happens to me, the more I'm convinced it's intentional.

I have many, many apps installed through not-Play Store methods. Haven't really run into any issues with them. Yeah, Android gets a bit picky on initial install, but once you've gone through that process once, it becomes a no-brainer.

Aegis is my go-to. But I also have two phones - my personal Pixel and a work-issued iPhone. I need 2FA on my work phone, but Aegis doesn't support iOS. Proton came through here. It's open-source, too.

Because complacency. That's all I can think of.

Apparently Yahoo uses Microsoft Bing for their search backend.

Eugh... Thanks for the heads-up 😂

Same kinds of people who still pay for AOL.

When MS ditched the Hotmail name, they went to their "Live" branding. I have an account with that domain, in addition to my old Hotmail account.

I wish I held onto my old Yahoo account, but it got so full of spam that it became completely unusable; so I deleted it 🫤

 

I blame my entire self-hosting hobby trajectory on a single piece of software that I used over a decade ago and fell absolutely in love with:

CCC One

If any of you have ever worked in collision repair (body shop, insurance, estimating, etc), you know what I'm talking about. The user interface was essentially - you open the program and are presented with a list of all the vehicles that have visited your shop, with some basic identifying info including the current status (estimate only, in repair, etc). You select a vehicle and open it up, and you're presented with everything related to that vehicle, including estimates, workorders, POs, parts, service time, repair time, photos, ties to LKQ and other used parts vendors for pricing, and a host of other useful shit - all separated neatly into tabs and clickable links.

I've been going mad trying to find something in the FOSS world that comes even close to this in order to keep track of my own projects, inlcuding vehicles, computer builds, other random shit. So far though, I have found only kanban boards (which are missing key project management features), or full-fledged CRM suites with way more added bloat than I will ever use.

I'm not looking for FOSS software with a 1:1 parity to CCC One; but there has got to be SOMETHING in the FOSS world that at least has some semblance of this capability. I use Planka right now, and it's fine, but there is just so much left to be desired.

Am I just expecting too much? If I am, please tell me. Or maybe help me better utilize the tools I already have.

Thank you SO SO MUCH to all who contribute to the FOSS community, you guys are serious rock stars. I barely understand if and for loops...
