For the tap to pay I am now using my Garmin smartwatch. Still corporate, but not Google/Apple huge corporate.

Very content with GOS otherwise. I blame app providers for their ridiculous limitations, not custom ROM developers.

That is their decision. Without any contract or promise, there is no obligation to anybody.

Even as a paying customer on a $1m/yr contract, still using the open source distribution because AIStor is not something we are keen on, we were not informed whatsoever.

They were well aware we were still using those container images, and we were by far the only paying customers doing the same.

This is malicious.

The majority of configuration options in Windows Terminal are hidden in JSON. The GUI only exposes a fraction. They are doing work to expose more options in the GUI though.

Having tried various alternatives for prolonged periods, it is currently IMHO the best option when you have to work on Windows.

Mac and Linux options are just vastly ahead.

Blame the managers and product owners that don't think this is an issue, not the developers that likely raised it a million times already.

I've never used Flux, only Argo, but can you share a bit from your point of view on why you find Flux to be technically superior?

Thanks!

12 Rules for Life was mostly good, it definitely helped me with some things. I liked his earlier podcasts on JRE and other shows.

However, I couldn't get through Beyond Order at all; I had to drop it fairly early. I think I still like the Peterson from 5-ish years ago. How he currently is, and how he has _mostly_ been for the past 2 years or so does not align with me anymore.

What I haven't found a solution for, is being able to synchronise and open a gocryptfs with cloud sync on Android. Dropbox/Drive/pCloud folders aren't directly accessible or mounted in Android. One work-around could be to export a zip of the folder from Dropbox/whatever, then extract and open that, but that's one-way.

Do you have a solution for this?

Some things can only be disabled on Windows Enterprise, not on Home or even Pro. For example for some aspects you need Group Policy, which isn't available in Home.

The defaults might make sense from a usability perspective, but are predatory and plainly spy on the user, with the majority of users not even aware of it.
