@dbread lots of times I don't like the pre-installed tools and to software that better fits my usage. Although is more secure out of the box as other flavors, still opted for the + combo, since the prior I can swipe to type and the latter just holds the emojis.

# The SwiftKey incident: A Breach of Privacy

The Reddit user's experience with the SwiftKey keyboard showcased the potential magnitude of a cloud synchronization glitch. What seemed like a minor issue quickly escalated into a data leak involving sensitive information like phone numbers, email addresses, and personal words.

The originating question was, if I should simply use the pre-installed keyboard app (swift key). I should have trusted my instincts and use an opensource offline keyboard app.

As soon as I learned about MS Copilot /Recall, it was the last straw. Now I am working with Linux - and I love it!
Linux Mint is easy, even for so like me who does not know that much about how computers work. 😀
If I can do it - everybody else can, too 😅

Pipe Viewer 1.8.14 is released today - ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml

Pipe Viewer - pv - is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a Unix pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion.

This release corrects a "double-free" error on exit when using the "--watchfd" mode.

PV uses the resources of the @Codeberg platform for free software development.

How to load your config?

There is, on the one hand, the basic approach of having an .env file in your environment, where stuff like db connection keys are loaded.
On the other hand of the complexity line is having a config server that provides your config vars through an api.

Both ends are not the solution I am seeking, so is there a possible middle way for dev/test/prod environments to load?

Just came across cookiestatus.com/ via a vendor doc. Pretty nice summary of popular web browsers and their cookie features/support WRT tracking prevention, privacy etc.
