You can view WiFi passwords for saved networks on pretty much every OS. There’s no reason to be secretive about entering WiFi passwords, at least to the people whose devices you’re entering the password on.

LibreWolf on everything that supports it (Windows/Mac/Linux) and Fennec F Droid on Android.
I wrote a program to do just that
Ugh, I got a fair return from buying to AMD right before Ryzen came out. I sold some of it and bought multiple different chip companies so now I have some AMD, some Intel, some NVDA. Oh well, it’s not a huge amount but still sucks. I hope they can come back if only because AMD needs competition to keep them from becoming the evil that old Intel was. I was hoping Intel would also be a viable third GPU competitor, I like my Arc A770 for the price and I’m hoping they don’t kill off the GPU division.
Linux works well on supported ARM platforms, but the problem is that a lot of ARM platforms aren’t supported. I recently got a Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro (had to import it as it’s a China-only model) and put postmarketOS on it. The experience is surprisingly good. Paired with a Bluetooth keyboard/touchpad, it is basically as functional as a normal light-duty Linux laptop except for the lack of x86 support, which mostly just means no gaming. I have been attempting to run Steam via box64 and FEX, but pmOS isn’t a supported distro for that so I have been trying in a Docker container and in Distrobox. I managed to get it started but it crashes due to steamwebhelper, and I think it’s a dependency or configuration issue. Otherwise, for browsing, coding, videos, terminal use, office, etc. it’s great and the battery life is amazing compared to my laptop. This is on a Snapdragon 870. Open source games run and they can hit 120fps on the 120Hz screen. I hope to see ARM support continue to improve, but I am worried about bootloader locks on these new ARM Windows machines.
Mastodon added text search a while ago.
RGB software is such garbage. Aura sucks, Synapse sucks, iCue sucks, Polychrome really really really sucks, RGB Fusion sucks, they’re all bloated garbage designed to lock you into an ecosystem and produced by the lowest tier of programmers around apparently as they are unstable and usually incredibly bloated messes.
This nonsense is why I started working on what eventually became OpenRGB.
Change for the sake of change is so dumb. I’m tired of pointless UI changes every so many years because some middle manager and their designers need to wow some dumb exec to get a promotion and they do so just by rearranging all the existing functionality because the product itself is already a complete solution that doesn’t actually need a new version. Sadly, this mentality even creeps into FOSS spaces. Canonical and Ubuntu wanting to reinvent the wheel with Unity, Mir, Snap, etc. GNOME radically changing their UI all the time.
