  • What really grinds my gears is that every goddamn login site now has separate pages for username and password, so the Autofill {Username}{Tab}{Password}{Enter} scheme doesn’t work anymore.

    Now you have to wait an unpredictable amount of time until you can enter your password.

    Also another quck vent if someone from my bank is reading this: Please explain to me why I always have to 2FA my browser login with my phone, but not the other way around? How tf is that safer when I can do anything solely on my phone anyway, which has no 2nd factor?


  • Well, as a matter of fact, EDK2 is replacing GRUB in Libreboot, it says so in the Changelog.

    You can build an alternative version with other payloads, but the default one now is EDK2.

    After all, CBFS is pretty modular, so everybody can run what they want. I just don’t get why EDK2 is supposedly so awesome, GRUB is way more awesome to me for the aforementioned reasons.

    The only benefit I can think of is that EDK2 can run PCI Optionroms for external graphics, but coreboot itself can do that too now and still load GRUB in text mode.





  • Correct me if this is no longer the case, but:

    Starting an old game fullscreen and having the lower resolution fill the HD/4K or what have you display and not just display a small box at 1:1 ratio with black borders all around. (Might also be AMD-related, not sure? X can do it, though.)

    Allow custom key maps with multiple level modifiers that are unconditionally accepted system-wide and not just in all applications except for that one that just won’t take that key combination.
