Yeah, the official way from what I understand is basically a container running inside a VM (with multiple containers behind a flag). They run Debian, but I believe there are tutorials for other OS’s if you want to try.
I’ve also heard of people who just replace chromeos with a Linux install, but I think that puts you at more risk of bricking your device.
Not sure if it counts, but I’ll share it anyways.
I use a chromebook which has two Linux containers running on it. One of them I’m experimenting with learning Docker and possibly selfhosting some things there. Only running one thing right now, and it seems to be going fine.
The other container is my main Linux “install”, which has all my apps like Inkscape, VSCode, Kdenlive, etc. The container uses a mix of nix, flatpak, and apt for installing things, which I do want to try and consolidtae eventually.
Probably not the weirdest of them all, but I do think it’s pretty cool to run all this on a chromebook.
It was only in a container on a Chromebook, but I’ll share it anyway. One time, I had installed Android Studio but found it mildly annoying that I got a line when using apt about Android Studio and some error on a certain line of this one file. I believe the file was something related to dpkg, and after changing some things within the file, I seemed to have broken apt. Luckily, I had a backup, but it was a few days old, so I had to reinstall some apps.
Even though I don’t have Prime, Amazon’s moves are making other sites more attractive. Walmart has been pretty good recently, offering 2-3 day shipping at no additional cost in my experience, along with a better app UI/UX. Now that Amazon has upped the minimum for free shipping, the only edge it holds over Walmart is the wider selection.
Not all phones have it I believe. For example, OnePlus just removed one day with an update when they switched to using a ColorOS skin.
Sure your DOB & address were leaked, but don’t worry your password is safe.
I think this is a built in part of Android (or Google Services?) now. Have the feature on the original Pixel and on a OnePlus.
Wonder if/when they’ll update the color picker (on Android)
So the TLDR seems to be:
Damn, who would’ve guessed people are tired of subscriptions?
Only some brands have this. You could try looking for an OCR app but it might have privacy implications depending on which you choose.
It looks pretty weird. The colors were a signture Google Maps feature.
They’re already doing that with MDN. Hopefully it doesn’t happen to the browser.
Yeah, thankfully all my issues have been all software so far for me.
OnePlus is a joke. I’ve have had multiple issues with their software (thankfully not hardware yet). From Google Pay breaking to unfinished English translations and even removing (or messing with) features on updates. And other people online have had worse. I’ll probably just spend the money on some other company next time.
A better title would probably be “When may Android 14 come to my Pixel phone?”.
Yep, basically all the space that was occupied by video thumbanails is now empty with a graphic explaining why. I would attach a screenshot but I no longer seem to have that graphic anymore and it’s back to normal.
It has already shown up for me and I don’t really mind. The only thing I do on YouTube now is look up a creator and watch a video I want based on my Newpipe feed.
Passkeys. They’ll probably improve eventually but I feel like right now it’s a mess.
On Android you are forced to use the default implementation, only in 14 and above can you use password managers for them.
On desktop it’s somewhat less messy but you can use the system storage or a password manager extension. Some sites only let you use them for 2FA, some full login, some can’t be put in a password manager from my experience and so on.
Just a mess right now.
