It isn't as positive as it sounds. Donation reform is something the major parties have twisted into a method of consolidating their own power. The two major parties have both been losing support to third-party candidates, and these reforms are now being used as a means to stop that.

The linked article is very brief and doesn't go into any real detail. Here's a more in-depth (albeit somewhat opinionated) bit of coverage: https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/11/26/donations-reforms-hoax-major-parties/

You might have an easier time converting to a different format which Proton Pass can import, rather than the Proton Pass export format. eg. Convert your file to the Bitwarden JSON format (Bitwarden provide examples and documentation on their format) and then import that file into Proton Pass instead. (IIRC they support Bitwarden's format)

You could try Bluefin (Gnome) or Aurora (KDE). https://projectbluefin.io/ It's an immutable OS based on Fedora. They have a developer version with certain developer tools pre-installed. The development environment is largely based around containers and virtual environments. eg. Using DevPod to run your software projects within developer containers instead of installing the tools directly on your host operating system.

I haven't used the Modos Paper Monitor. Not even sure if it's actually for sale.

You could look at the Dasung Paperlike monitors though. Or the Onyx Boox Mira. They should be much the same (ie. they're e-ink monitors), though they are quite expensive. They've been out for years, so there are plenty of videos, reviews, second hand units, etc. out there.

I have one of the Onyx Boox Mira monitors (the 13" one). It's a bit small and cost more than I'd like, but it has helped with eye strain as someone who works on a computer all day. Speed isn't an issue. It's plenty fast for anything except watching videos or gaming. The main caveat with any e-ink monitor is that it's black and white, so you'll need to tweak things on your PC to get a good experience. That usually means putting things in light mode or high contrast mode.

I have a Mac Mini M1 and Asahi Linux works very well on it. Pretty much everything I use already has an aarch64 version. The IDE I was using doesn't, so I switched to the JetBrains equivalent, which does work on ARM.

The one big letdown is that displayport doesn't work. Only HDMI does. But going by your other comments you're using a macbook rather than a mac mini, so that might not matter to you.

I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before they realize their oversight though. So thank you in advance for the powershell script ;)

I wound up installing the "Move Mouse" software to keep Microsoft Teams active. Seems to do the trick.

I used to show up as idle a lot because I have communications stuff like Teams on my (very slow, old, underpowered) work-owned laptop, and I do my actual work from my home PC. So the more I'm working, the less likely I am to show up as being active on Teams. But managers don't understand logic. They only understand a little green check next to your name. So... Move Mouse it is.

It uses the API. They're discussing what to do next, probably "wait and see" for now https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/785
