    I use a certain extension. An update turned the extension into payware, locking 90% of the features behind a paywall. So I refuse to update it and instead continue to use the revis…

    Windows Terminal is not unique to Windows 11. You can install it on Windows 10. As for containers, you can install Docker or Podman or some other container infrastructure. The Wind…

    At least the password manager I use has solid encryption. I can control where the file lives and what file permissions it has. For instance, I can keep it on a USB stick that I onl…
