They might allow the browser's built in manager. Good chance if they're a Microsoft shill, edge's built in would be better than nothing....although it's Microsoft so a text file might be better.

IT probably bans them because they can't access the data. Keepass files are some kind of container, you can store any file with in it. Great when you want save a txt doc with 2fa recovery codes or something and also not a bad way to send a payload that's impossible to scan. "I'm going on vacation, please use this keypass file for vendor XYZ, open the file within for the vendors contact info".

    In the long term, yes it would be better if it shipped.

    However, if someone went to a phone store with a stock graphene on display and anything else next to it, which one do you think they'll choose?

    Until Graphene's stock experience (i.e stock apps and launcher) mature enough to not look out of place next to google and apple, the average Joe will pick the more polished phone. I hope improving that is a task Motorola will be able to help with, while graphene keeps doing their thing.

    Additionally with the app/play store dualopoly, Motorola would be shooting them selves in the foot if they didn't ship with the play store.

    Getting an option beside a pixel for Grapheneos is pretty cool and a big step forward. I hope new demand will be high enough to show the decision makers that its an endeavor worth continuing.

  • A lot of programs have an export button for settings a such. Useful for your launcher and whatever else has a lot of settings.

    I don't like doing a full restore, new phones are a good time to clear old system files and crap.

    For syncing stuff, I don't use most of the default phone folders for docs, music, etc. I make my own for everything, so if some update or app decides to do some shenanigans to those folder none of that is backed up. Only folders I don't make are downloads and photos, and dcim, which I still backed up.

    If you don't want to deal with a syncthing or something automatic, you could try "Back In Time" on Linux.

  • "Ensign Kim, we hope you are readjusting well to life on Earth. We have been reviewing the reports and are finding you quite the accomplished Ensign, you were instrumental to the survival of voyager and her crew, even taking on captain duties at times. You were basically 6th or 7th in command right after the doctor. We feel continuing to call you Ensign Kim would be a disservice to all you have achieved in the past 7 years aboard Voyager.

    Congratulations Super-Ensign Kim. You are dismissed."

  • It's early enough in the semester that it may just not be fully processed yet. When I was in school I was able to dump what ever "loan refund" they gave me right into the principle.

    I hate they call it a refund, it just means you took out a bigger loan than what the bill actually cost. Calling it a refund makes people think they got free money.

    Taking a away the phone during school hours is another band aid.

    Practicality, there isn't a single solution that will stop the shootings, a dozen band aids is better than doing nothing. You can get rid of the phones, could invest that 150k into to the salary of a school therapist, pay teachers more so they aren't all depressed and overworked. Hire more teachers so classes aren't 30+, maybe they'd be able to focus on a kid for more than 3 minutes a day. In other words actually fund education.

    But sense that none of that is likely to happen this decade,

    I don't like the idea of taking away kids ability to call 911 in an emergency. This isn't 1980. Classroom phones are an option, but many have switched to voip and rely on some major internet service not being randomly down that day. Supposedly they'd work with 911 no matter what, but I wouldn't rely on that.

    Could switch to dumb phone or set up parental controls to block internet access, and various apps, during school hours, while still allowing phone calls.

    So it looks like the source originally used that awful title misrepresenting the article it self. In other words the source needs to be blacklisted for spreading bullshit. Dose this community have a blacklist yet?

    I know blacklisting sources is a steep slope to censorship, but at a certain point if the source feels they need to click bait people with tabloid headlines they are not worth our time.

    ArticleAnother Leak: ‘Avatar: Aang: The Last Airbender’ Surfaces Online Months Before Paramount+ Debut By Jamie Lang | 04/13/2026 1:17 pm |

    A major leak of footage from Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender is making the rounds online, and it’s hard to see this as anything but damaging for everyone involved.

    Over the weekend, clips and now reportedly the full film surfaced online months ahead of its planned Paramount+ debut. The movie, directed by Lauren Montgomery, was initially meant to get a theatrical run, but late last year it was pulled and redirected straight to Paramount+.

    The material shared over the weekend reportedly includes key story moments and unfinished animation, although some say the full film is now online, with reports suggesting the leak may have originated from an internal error or security breach tied to Nickelodeon. One Twitter user claimed they were accidentally sent the full film in an email from Nickelodeon. That seems exceedingly unlikely, but it raises questions about how the film could have gotten out.

    The leak is a major blow to an already unsettled studio. Since being purchased by Skydance, Paramount and its subsidiary Nickelodeon have been subject to massive layoffs; their long-time and well-respected head of animation, Ramsey Naito, left the company; and just last week, it was revealed that Nickelodeon Animation Studios would be folded more tightly into CBS Studios.

    It’s concerning yet entirely unsurprising how normalized this kind of thing has become. Another Avatar film, James Cameron’s in this case, leaked in 2023, alongside The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The difference in those cases is that the films being leaked were already released in theaters. This time, a film months away from release has now been spoiled by a few bad actors.

    High-profile leaks aren’t just spoilers, either. They disrupt the economic and creative ecosystem that keeps these kinds of projects getting made. When unfinished work circulates widely, it diminishes both the artistry and the labor behind it, and can cause serious issues for future titles.

    The upcoming avatar movie leaked, it sounds like the script, screenshots and possibly the entire movie is circulating.

    Also for some reason (before the leak) Paramount decided the movie wouldn't get a theatrical release. Who ever is making the decisions out there is not setting it up for success.

    Anyway, if you can watch the movie from an official source, please do so their numbers reflect as many people as possible.

    spoilerThere is no movie in Ba Sing Se

     

    Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

    While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

    I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

    Android Tablets (lemmy.world)
    submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by to c/android@lemmy.world
     

    Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

    The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

    One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
