Guess me argument is if your going out of your way for privacy then you are looking to put something sensitive in it. If you didn’t care then having any encryption probably doesn’t matter

I would love you to elaborate on what you mean by “not caring what kind of shit they try to pull ? “ You care about privacy but not about tracking ?

Meanwhile your job is still overseas , prices of groceries are still too high and the roads around your house are still pothole ridden. But let’s spend all our time dealing with this unnecessary bullshit. Because this makes everything better!

That makes zero sense. We need to be how old to view a desktop ?

The world will end due to corruption by billionaires not because some 12 year old watching only fans…

I’ve always wanted to try that. But something always stopped me

I am super curious about atomic. My one concern is the push for AI and the fact they are kind of to good to be true. If Proton is going alt-right I might have to look elsewhere …

Stay away from Rumble. It’s a politically right focused mess with no more privacy offered. You want to avoid YouTube id suggest peer tube.

First boat from Canada ?

That’s the main thing I hear. I don’t post anything I care about. I’ve had CTOs I’ve had other engineers.

For the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Please leave Hockey out of this please… :Barf:

When you paid a few 100 dollars for games you want to play and proton doesn’t support them. You keep using Windows

While I agree with feeling a bit off , Fluxor seems closest to feature complete. Overall what Stoat has an offer works well. They are updating their infrastructure and so Fluxor.

The Matrix and XMPP are still all over the place. Unless one client comes out to rule them all. And none such really take the crown.

Honestly If there is issues with LLM it might be better to stick with Stoat.

Can be a real mess sometimes. I’ve had issues with performance and time outs

Browser I’ve been using Librewolf for over a year.

Helium also looks promising for a browser but it’s Chromium based and I’m not a fan of Chromium.

For search I’ve been using StartPage. I don’t believe they are open source but Quant I believe like GoDuckGo are using Bing and I think Bing is absolute trash.

If you don’t mind paying there is Kagi but personally I don’t think the search results have been better than GDG.

Found another “new” discord clone called Kloak. Slightly curious as they claim to use purely a username and key to identify you and nothing else.

Some of the site seems AI generated and the project is entirely closed source. I am curious but I have my reservations even trying it.

Right now it appears registration is closed which is also odd.

Might be worth keeping an eye on. But it might be worth entirely avoiding

I dont think we are ever going to see a third consumer level production phone with an alternative Linux based OS. There aren’t enough people out there in the main stream to make a product like this truly viable. Maybe Fairphone or a equivalent. But that’s a tall maybe. Definitely not a flagship level phone.

What’s more realistic is seeing graphine gain availability on more devices.

This is the one place I haven’t taken the plunge. My experience with Linux desktops over the years leaves me a little concerned being stuck without making calls in an emergency situation. I’m also using MVNOs and I worry they won’t be compatible with a different OS.

Trump has also been “arrested” before. If he gets any real jail time THAT would make this interesting. But I doubt that will happen.

Not sure I follow what you mean by temperature? Socially I’d say it’s all over the place. You can make channels for whatever you like. To be transparent the only feature to me missing is streaming / screen share. And the mobile apps need a lot of work …

Stoat or Fluxor do just that.

Last I checked Spacebar hardly just works. Lots of placeholder code at least for the web client. I know there is a fork of it with a web client that’s recommended. But even that for me it’s been buggy
