Maybe try it out on standard Firefox as a quick test? While annoying, this would help validate that the issue is with the librewolf changes to standard Firefox.
Also note that I also use both proton mail and drive from librewolf. Even today. If it’s a general issue with this setup, it hasn’t hit my machine (yet)
Markdown is my preference. It’s certainly not perfect for formatting. But it’s fantastically simple because it’s barely more than plain text. And it’ll usually look good in the end
If you'd like to learn more about Haptic, why it's being built, what its goals are and how it differs from all the other markdown editors out there, you can read more about it here.
As others have noted, the app doesn’t work on mobile yet. Anybody willing to share the content here for mobile users?
That basic idea is roughly how compression works in general. Think zip, tar, etc. files. Identify snippets of highly used byte sequences and create a “map of where each sequence is used. These methods work great on simple types of data like text files where there’s a lot of repetition. Photos have a lot more randomness and tend not to compress as well. At least not so simply.
You could apply the same methods to multiple image files but I think you’ll run into the same challenge. They won’t compress very well. So you’d have to come up with a more nuanced strategy. It’s a fascinating idea that’s worth exploring. But you’re definitely in the realm of advanced algorithms, file formats, and storage devices.
That’s apparently my long response for “the other responses are right”
I looked into proton pass ~9 months ago and it just wasn’t ready. Needed a few more features before I was willing to move from Bitwarden. However, I gave it another look 2 weeks ago and proton pass satisfied all of my needs. Since I was already paying for proton unlimited, it just made sense for me to change. And it’s been a perfectly good experience so far! A couple of thoughts:
While I do run Linux, I don’t need a native app for it. I exclusively use a browser extension on my desktop. It does everything that I need. I do use a native app on IOS and it works quite well.
The 2fa in proton is pretty good now, which I needed. It can also store other types of data like credit cards, identities, etc. But it’s not quite as good at identifying fields for auto fill. Pretty close though so I’m not bothered by this.
My biggest ”complaint” is protecting my proton account. I use it for email, storage, etc. so I can’t accept a weak password for it. But I also need to have reliable access to other passwords stored in proton pass. For this, I want something long yet memorable and easy enough to type out. These two requirements are roughly at odds with each other.
My solution for now is to keep my Bitwarden account and use it as a source to recover my proton account when necessary. I think it’s a good pattern actually and I may expand this in the future with methods like syncing data between the two tools.

Honestly, I agree with what you’re saying. And yet, conservatives are told that liberals are killing babies via abortion. It’s a bunch of nonsense IMO. But once a person embraces an idea like that, they’ll probably never vote democrat again.
My comment isn’t saying that one side or the other is better. I was explaining why people in the US pick a political party and usually stick with it for a lifetime. It’s because they believe the other side is evil regardless of reality. We have a messed up system.
Edit: well this is ridiculous. I stumbled across this post only 5 minutes after writing this comment. Somehow, it’s actually worse that the random example I offered. I hate our political system. It’s awful.
I recently had an insight on (US) politics that applies here. Our ridiculous two party system is unsurprisingly to blame for this. Both parties encompass both reasonable and terrible ideas. And members of both parties are fed entirely different pieces of propaganda. So republicans are fed the idea that all democrats embrace the worst, extreme ideas that fall under the democratic umbrella. While democrats are fed the idea that all republicans embrace the worst, extreme ideas that fall under the republican umbrella. This makes members of both parties see the other as simply evil and so the opposing party is impossible to embrace. It often doesn’t matter what experiences a person goes through.
Well that sounds promising. Time for me to dig into it. Thanks!!
Interesting feature but I’m a little disappointed that this is a feature for business accounts only. I have a Duo account; are there any features that would allow me to share certain emails with my wife? For example, it would be great if we could both receive the exact same emails related to our credit card statements. Or car loan. Or electric bill. Etc.
Anyone have tips?
Don’t worry, it’s much more fair than you may suspect. Some of these are near impossible for me, a native speaker.

Lately, I’ve been starting with “share” and then react accordingly. It’s just a very good set of letters. Oddly, I really like starting with “h” because of the very common two letter combos: ch, gh, ph, sh, th, and wh.
The configuration is often committed to the repo. And some repos heavily rely on the precommit actions running before you can push or have pipelines function correctly

I know a guy that considers git pre-commit hooks a form of code injection and thus a security risk. So he disables them on repos he works with. And to be fair, it’s absolutely a viable vector for attacking developer machines. I think a tasks.json fits into that exact same bucket.
These kinds of automations are suuuper useful and I do like to use them. But also review a code base before cloning!
Wouldn’t there be a net zero force from pulling and being pulled?
It’sa little hard to think through but my best guess is nothing at all
I expect this is the best score I will ever achieve in this game.

APIs are pretty cool, but did you know that 75% of developers are more likely to endorse your technology if you provide access to APIs? Make sure to let back-end developers and engineering managers know about the API integrations you offer: they are even more likely to endorse your tech than the average coder.
Hey @ProtonPrivacy@lemmy.world! This is how other tools can integrate with your services. Proton Drive specifically needs this.
I just watched the video. There is absolutely nothing noteworthy about it at all. Did I miss something? Why does this event matter?
It’s literally a very slow video of Biden walking on the plane and later walking off the plane. And there’s a lot of nothing happening as well. I don’t get it
I just stumbled on this new community. Having a young child, I figured I should join and learn! I also noticed that the Lemmy instance has a .au domain. I’m sure the theories and ideas will apply globally; but what about information regarding law, school systems, etc? Is this community intended for Australian info? Or is it acceptable that I ask questions specific to the US?
I made some changes to disk partitions. Now I'm seeing an issue with mounts. It's not a big problem but it's definitely confusing me.
``` [alex@rog-g15dk dev]$ sudo mount /home-temp mount: /home-temp: can't find in /etc/fstab. [alex@rog-g15dk dev]$ cat /etc/fstab New Partition /home-temp defaults 0 0 # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
UUID=5E74-A00E /efi vfat noatime 0 2 UUID=53a2c9bc-31dd-4e52-902f-633867253481 / ext4 noatime 0 1 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs noatime,mode=1777 0 0 /dev/nvme0n1p2 /home ext4 noatime 0 2 /dev/nvme0n1p3 /steam ext4 noatime 0 2 ```
Can anyone explain what 'mount -a' is trying to mount?
Here's the context on the changes I made. My desktop used to run windows. I recently installed linux as well (dual boot). A bit later I destroyed the windows partitions. This left the beginning 2/3 of the disk unused.
Today I decided to reclaim that disk space. I created 2 new partitions, copied some data to them, updated fstab accordingly, rebooted, and grew the steam partition to 700GiB. That process had a couple of small bumps, including a partition that was mounted to '/home-temp'. I destroyed that partition before using it all.
So this error is definitely caused by me. That's fine. I'm just trying to understand what's going on and how to clean up the little mess.
I'm ditching Windows in favor of Linux on my personal desktop. And so I'm looking for advice on which distro I should start with.
About Me
I use Linux professionally all the time but mostly to build ci/cd pipelines and for software development/operations. I've never been a Linux admin nor have I ever chosen the distro I use. I'm generally comfortable using Linux and digging into configs/issues as needed.
Planned Usage
I use this machine for typical home usage: Firefox, a notes app (currently Notesnook), maybe office style tools like word and excel. I also use this for gaming: Steam, Discord, etc. Lastly and least important, I use this for a small amount of dev work: VSCode, various languages, possibly running containers.
What I'm Looking For
I'd like an OS that's highly configurable but ships with good default settings and requires very little effort to start using. I don't want it to ship with loads of applications; I want to choose and install all of the higher level tools. Shipping with a configured desktop is perfectly fine but not required. Ideally, I can have all of this while still keeping the maintenance low. I think that means a stable OS, a good package manager, stable/automatic updates, etc.
Last bit. Open source is rather important to me. I prefer free and free.
Anyone have good suggestions??
Edit
I'm aware of tools like Distro Chooser. They've recommended Arch Linux and Endeavor OS to me so far. But I'm not ready to trust them yet. I'm looking for human input.
Edit 2: Hardware Info
I'm running on an ASUS ROG Strix GA15DK. It's just over 2 years old. The hardware was shiny but not top-tier at the time. It’s not new at this point but also not old by Linux standards.
- AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Processor
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
- 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM
Edit 3
It's official. I installed EndeavourOS! I got it to work without any issues. Yup, first try. It definitely didn't take me ~10 tries :D
Thanks for all the input all! Wonderful crowd here!!!

Allow to configure settings across profiles. One idea we are considering is to allow users to choose between following options while creating a profile: Extend from Default Profile Diverge from Def...
Here's an upcoming feature for those wanting to use multiple profiles in VSCode but don't enjoying micro managing settings across many different profiles. And good news: This feature is currently being developed!
The feature request is Extend from the Default Profile. The idea is to allow users to organize settings into various layers. Global settings in the default profile. Maybe python specific settings in a python profile. And then golang specific settings in a golang profile. Or however else you want to organize things! This will be a huge help when working with many different workspaces and languages which all need little adjustments.
This idea actually dates back all the way to November, 2016! While it has nearly 600 votes, nobody implemented the feature. Thankfully, the new feature (again, issue 156144 was requested about a year ago and was actually a part of the Iteration Plan for June 2023. Unfortunately, it wasn't completed in time (that's ok! Thanks devs!) and was pushed to the July 2023 iteration. Hopefully, we'll have this feature released soon.
If you're as excited as I am for this one, then vote for the feature with a thumbs up.
Yes, it's already in development but votes can make this feature a priority. You can also vote for specific implementation details too!

Marketplace Description
VSNotes is a simple tool that takes care of the creation and management of plain text notes and harnesses the power of VS Code via the Command Palette.
Why I like it
VSNotes seems to be built for frequent note taking. E.g. Taking daily meeting notes and keeping them organized. There are quite a few alternative extensions like dendron.dendron that do this quite well but are much more complicated. I like VSNotes for its simplicity. It's easy to use.
More importantly, I don't want to create a large number of notes. I just want to manage a few organized files and have them accessible at all times. Here's a screenshot from my work laptop.
No date stamps. No tags. No subdirectories. Nice and simple. Having these notes embedded in VS Code gives me the expected benefits like markdown syntax and preview. But my favorite part is the Activity Bar icon (far right in my screenshot). These notes aren't stored in my active workspace. They can be but I choose to store these notes in ~/notes instead. This means that the files within that directory are globally available regardless of which workspace is active. If you work with many different repositories and workspaces, this is fantastic!
A few use cases
- Basic notes that are always open... duh. So you don't have to send yourself messages in Slack
- Commands.md: Some bash magic. Some kubectl favorites. Some fancy git commands. All copy/paste-able into the embedded terminal
- Diagram.d2: I manually set the file extension. Now I can preview terrastruct.d2 diagrams conveniently!
My Configuration
{ "vsnotes.defaultNotePath": "~/notes", "vsnotes.defaultNoteTitle": "{title}.{ext}", "vsnotes.noteTitleConvertSpaces": "-", }
First and foremost everyone, welcome to our new little community!
I've watching the subscriber count climb slowly over the last ~36 hours from 0 to the current 64 subscribers. Exciting stuff! And impressive too, given that we don't have any content yet 🙂
So I'd like to hear from the crowd. What content do you want to see here? Maybe some periodic posts like monthly patch notes? Reply with your ideas!
First post to get the community going. Here's the list of extensions that I personally use. Most are disabled globally and enabled per project. Feel free to ask questions, give me suggestions, etc.!
Edit: Thanks for the good idea on formatting @NostraDavid. I also converted my list to urls
