Whilst I am heartily tired of all the apps nowadays that one is encouraged to use instead of a perfectly functional web page, I feel that webmail is the opposite: why use webmail instead of a proper email client which can connect to various email accounts?
In the scenario where one has more than one email address, with multiple accounts from individual providers, I cannot see how using webmail could be anything other than a nightmare.
How is nouveau in this release?
My pc (approx 2 years old, i3 cpu without onboard graphics plus low-end nvidia gpu) won't boot from Fedora 35 or 36 usb media. When I last needed to reinstall back in June after disk failure I had to boot / install Fedora 34 and upgrade.
After installation / updates nouveau "works", but is flaky enough so I end up using the proprietary drivers instead.
Wimps.
When I was a young 'un, we had to install from floppies (5.25", not any of the new fangled 3.5") ....
no, wait, I mean mag tape, or was it punched cards?
Stone tablets, hewn from the mountain, that's it, I remember now.
Is that enough? Six domains?
I tend to go with the pi-hole type approach - i.e. a far larger number of blocked domains, updated automatically, for various devices.
Obviously still need an adblocker in firefox. Doesn't work against lots of mobile ads: avoid apps where possible, and use the browser instead; many apps aren't really necessary.
... and repeated "Critical security alert for ... Sign-in attempt was blocked" emails when I use an android phone running k9 mail or fair email to access a gmail account.
Since I popped a new sim into a phone I get this every time the phone leaves a known wifi network and is on the cellular network / other wifi.
