I for one am very happy to see! He is a great influence to a lot of people and showing that Linux isn’t scary will boost numbers by a solid amount ✌️

Yeah that’s what I did.

Try logging in and out. (Though dont blame me if u can’t log in again).

If it’s one thing I don’t trust its non-EU companies following GDPR. Sure they’re legally bound to, but l mean Meta doesn’t care so why should the rest.

(Yes I’m being overly dramatic about this, but I’ve lost trust ages ago in big tech companies)

Its French as far as I know so at least it abides to gdpr by default.

I also moved from Proton to Filen, been way happier with their products so far!

Thanks for this!

Not heard about it, but would definitely be nice.

Thanks!

Picking between the ones you listed it’s basically a “pick your poison” situation.

Klarna is definitely extremely sketchy. I’ve yet to read their terms of services but km not looking forwards to it.

I think all of these companies are sketch in one way or another. You would be better off choosing something like Wise or Revolut as they at least offer disposable credit cards for one time purchases.

Probably best to figure out what they actualy do first. Wild guess is something to do with push notifications? Also if LibreWolf devs haven’t removed it, there is probably a reason for it…

Yeah! Obviously not for everyone - but i do think people should re-consider their initial judgments. Just like I recently decided to switch to Fastmail away from Proton. I did some research around Fastmail, and to me, their missions and values won me over. For example, they help develop open standards such as jmap over imap. They own all of their own hardware - and encrypt all data at rest. Might not suit everyone, but defo suits me well and it’s been a very nice experience so far.

I very much agree with this. Not all closed software means it’s “evil”. Look at obsidian for example that’s closed source but ut has a widely accepted user base nonetheless. Vivaldi is a great browser choice and way within my “threat model” at least.

John Oliver for president ✊

Very neat, was just looking for this!

Thanks I personally really needed this today actually! Well written and good points. Today is that kind day I need to take a step back and in a week or two ill have sorted out thoughts and have a more refreshed approach. Thanks.

From what I’ve heard the best option for deleting your data from brokers is: https://easyoptouts.com/

This is just run by two honest dudes and is considerably cheaper than the other services. The reason I like this one (though not used as I don’t live in the US, is because these guys are quite transparent about the process.) I’ve heard numerous podcasts where these guys come into the show and talk about their work. As an example they were on the Firewalls don’t stop dragon podcast. I would at least have a look at this service and compare with the rest.

Best of luck 🍀

If you’re in the position to take certificates then that’s a another way of learning a lot. At least it has worked for me. I’ve over the last half year taken RHCSA and RHCE from RedHat - though paid by work. Theses in specific are expensive, but I’m sure there are other ones that are cheaper. This would also allow you to ‘show off’ your skills in an official way should you need to, for applying for certain jobs etc…

I at least find this way to be helpful as you have to motivate yourself to learn and pass an exam to get the certificate. It might not be for everyone though.

Does it have the new UI update that came with Thunderbird recently? Didn’t see any screenshots of the UI on their website.
