Why is Spotify suddenly being stupid and getting quiet when I get a ping on Mastodon?

It didn't used to do this.

Can someone give me a recommendation on which setting this could be? I internet searched a few times but don't seem to be looking in the right spots.

#ChromeOS #Spotify I can't imagine it's specifically Mastodon.

🆕 blog post: Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook review: Exceeding expectations

After two weeks of using the latest entry-level #Lenovo #Chromebook, I’m impressed. It’s taken years to get here but Lenovo has delivered a sub-$350 #ChromeOS laptop that I truly enjoy using. Surprisingly, this laptop can nearly keep up with my daily workflow. And that means it will likely keep up with most people’s ChromeOS usage since I push the limits of my devices.

So the Chrome os Terminal app, where you interact with Crostini and such, got a big accessibility face lift recently! Now, while you type, ChromeVox isn't repeating every l e t t e r you type. Also, the terminal output is separated out into one element per line which you can just navigate like regular items. And clicking on a line puts you directly back into the text box to type another command. And yes, output is read automatically.

ChromeOS: Android-Apps aufs Chromebook streamen
https://bit.ly/3MoRXeM #ChromeOS #Chromebook #AndroidApps

I've just put #ChromeOS Flex onto an oldish (but modern) laptop. 8th Gen i5, 8Gb of RAM, SSD. This thing absolutely flies.

It's making me begrudge the fact that all the budget #Chromebooks I've bought in the past have felt a little laggy and I've just sort of put up with it. As if I was the one trying to push the Chromebook by having 10 tabs open at once.

Battery life is poor though, comparatively. Swings and roundabouts, I guess...

#ChromeOS gurus - I'm logged into my Chromebook with my personal as primary, but also my work account.

When I open Google apps (Gmail, Chat, Drive, etc) they first open in my personal account, and I have to switch to my work account.

WITHOUT logging to my work account as primary, is there a way to force them to open in my work account first?

@slightlyoff Yep. On #linux and #chromeos. Cookies are gone randomly (even if set with looong expiration) and database (indexeddb) are lost as well. Sometimes it happens after a few days, sometimes after a few hours. I use indexeddb quite a lot to store data and even some script modules and it sucks when it has to download them again. That's how I notice. And when I am thrown out of the app because the cookie got lost.

@matthewhowell @reidrac Yeah, same here, but I have to admit that the PWA approach from @slightlyoff / Chrome and #ProjectFugu driven by eg @tomayac @kennethrohde makes a lot more sense to me than the zipped up approach of Firefox OS ever did.

To me #ChromeOS is much more the kind of OS that I wished for than what #FirefoxOS ever was.

Too bad Chrome OS is only for computers and tablets + not even sure Google intends it for tablets anymore considering the upcoming Pixel tablet will run Android.

Don't turn an old MacBook or PC into a Chromebook with "Chrome OS Flex." You can't install Android apps like you can on a regular Chromebook.

It might seem like a nice way to give your kids a locked-down computer to play with, but it's a waste of time.

We went from "we have a spare Mac that can run anything" to "we have a computer for the kids where they can only look at websites and Chrome extensions." 😖

The fact that #Figma has keyboard controls specifically for #chromeOS is yet another part of what makes this tool so great. It's the little things that matter. 😊

For context: alt + left click opens the context menu on Chrome OS, so things like resizing from centre and drag to duplicate won't work in most tools. Figma smartly remaps those actions to the search-key instead. 👌
