There is some degree of independence. For example, if Mozilla releases some super evil patch tomorrow, I'm pretty sure everyone would just patch it out immediately. In fact, this is what most derivatives seem to do, patch out the ad/telemetry stuff.
But yeah, these are all modified Firefox browsers. Hopefully, nobody was thinking these were unique, new, browsers.
Librewolf and Waterfox seem pretty similar on paper. I went with Waterfox cuz idk. So far, Waterfox seems to be a drop-in replacement. I haven't noticed any problems with websites and haven't run into any bugs.
One note about Waterfox is that I would have liked if it was added to the official Arch Linux repos. I installed fine with the AUR, but still.
I briefly looked into passkeys a while ago, but I think I remember really disliking them because they just seemed like another excuse for companies to lock you in.
Has this changed? With Bitwarden + passwords, I can change to any platform, any device, at any time, and instantly get all my creds moved over securely.
I don't want to be in a situation where I'm locked into using Android, Chrome, iOS, or whatever because I can't move my creds.
the keyboard failed multiple times, as well as one of the fans and eventually one thunderbolt port
Aw, dang. That sucks.
I'm typing this on a 2020 9310 and fortunately it's been pretty solid for me. Everything still works great. If anything, the palm rests are a little worn now, but that's about it. I also have an older XPS 9370 from 2018 that I keep as a spare and that's still working fine as well.
I haven't had to open up this laptop yet, but good to know there are service manuals. Thanks!
put up a fight against management 3 layers above me
Eh, yeah. I've been in that kind of situation before. Sucks.
Still, you should try to go rogue where you can. Not for the company, fuck the company, do it to protect yourself. Like, maybe you could create your own git repo and push the changes there yourself. Don't tell anyone else, just do it privately. You don't need to use GitHub, you could push to a local folder on your computer or a USB drive.
Usually projects (especially large projects) are kept in a version control system like git. This is a prime reason why. With version control, it wouldn't have mattered if you deleted the docker compose file, you could just bring it back. Also, usually every change has to go through version control, this way you always have a backup of the latest version of the file.
Yeah! StreetComplete is great! They really make it easy to improve the maps. It's even motivated me to get out and walk more so I can complete the little quests.
