You should not be using any kind of digital communication for criminal activities. OP, if your only goal is to prevent companies from scanning all of your personal life to show you tailored ads, then either is will be fine. I do prefer Proton though, as their products are more complete

Finally an option that is not just a dumb keyboard, this one has some local llms and local speech to text, so that's pretty cool. Currently there's no multilingual mode and I can't find a way to adjust the height, but once these features are there I'll happily switch.

Y'all are crazy to think businesses won't just switch it off and will instead completely switch operating systems. Linux is too much trouble for large fleets as the tools to manage them aren't as powerful as they are for windows iirc. Linux is also not ready for full businesses use aside from IT people and some very simple tasks, still too many hiccups when using and lacking software

I'm the total opposite, my documentation is very thorough, my code looks like it was made by a monkey

I think the same, I often find that people overestimate their ability to write self documenting code and with the added mess of automatic formatters it often becomes hard to read and understand. In my department I am one of the few who actually writes comments and readmes that explains the reason behind some decisions. I am very junior, less than a year of experience, so maybe I will be able to better understand code that other people write in the future. But for the time being I write my documentation and my comments in a way that someone who doesn't know anything about the project can understand, because I hate having to call coworkers because I can't figure out how the project handles x and y (bear in mind that is also caused by Java "best practices" with 45 abstraction layers)

I wish my handwriting was this good, it still looks the same as when I was in 3rd grade

dont talk bad about Nicco

The EU Digital Markets Act is here (element.io)

Element has been working with Meta since the end of last year to help test their DMA interoperability (given we’re probably the world leader in interoperable end-to-end-encrypted communication) - and Matrix announced last month at FOSDEM that Element has successfully integrated 1:1 chats between Matrix and WhatsApp via the DMA...

Poettering and Systemd are amazing and Linux would not be as good as it is today without them. Whether you like it or not, we can't have a fragmented ecosystem and expect people and companies to adopt it (see the 14 competing standards XKCD). Having one solid base that works the same on every client is like literally the base requirement for making a product for the said client. Systemd, flatpak, xdg-portals, pipewire and immutable distros all solve this.

Wayland gets so many more of the basics so much better than X11 it's not even funny anymore. X11 is stuttery, unsecure, unmaintaned, can't really be updated for new features that are pretty important in 2024 (VRR, HDR). For now with my usage, the only big disadvantage I saw from Wayland is that you can't restart it like X11 when something goes wrong, but that's the thing, I haven't had to restart it like I had to often with X11. Even on Nvidia Wayland is better now, except maybe for gaming but that's Nvidia for you.

I waited for so long to buy an external trackpad for my desktop, Wayland on Nvidia is basically what was preventing me from getting it. After about a month or two of stability testing, it's really great now, so since yesterday I can finally enjoy all the GNOME gestures that I enjoyed for so long on my laptop on my desktop as well!!

It should be noted that for some reason, people in Linux communities seem to never watch hardware accelerated video content, because AMD 6000 and 7000 have HUGE issues regarding video decoding on Linux, Im talking full system crash or full system freezes after 30 minutes of watching videos on youtube (and thats without mentionning the video freezing for a few seconds with the audio still going, and then catching up, and refreezing a few seconds later). It caused me to install Chrome which does not have hardware acceleration yet to watch youtube if I wanted to have an uptime of more than 1.5 days.

These issues have only been reported on AMD's iGPUs though, so I think dedicated graphics cards should be fine. But anyways, for this reason alone, I would just recommend Intel chips for most users, especially now with the new Intel Gen 1 Ultra or whatever its called, the GPU is basically on-par with AMD and the CPU is very close as well.

mesa, fedora 39, its been doing this since fedora 36 or 37 whenever I got the laptop a year ago. I didnt try since a few months, but I didnt see any changeglogs mentionning it so I guess its not been adressed (especially since the issue is still open on the amdgpu gitlab)

I am monitoring this issue mainly, and I saw recently they seemed to have a fix, but I am not really interested in patching my drivers because its my daily driver computer

I don't think facebook shares much data to other companies, they have more to gain by keeping it to themselves and having all the data to serve their billions of users personnalized ads. Basically the same as Google, they don't really sell your data. For these companies I never really liked the phrase that says you are the product, youre not really the product, you are what makes their product. If a company sold your data plainly, then yes in thsi case you are the product

Idk for most people, but the reason I use proton mail is to avoid google parsing everything I receive to send me ads. I "have nothing to hide" on a legal pov, I'm not a criminal, the worst offence I do is like Jay walking or crossing at a red light on foot when there is no one at midnight. I don't use proton services to protect myself from the law (or in other words to avoid the consequences of my acts), I just want to be a customer instead of a product.

That would involve cutting 0.001% of the road budgets... Nope!!

Unless they updated their system with Sudo shortly before

I have not had this issue on Matrix.org ever since I had an account, I don't use it much but I use it occasionally and yeah, no issues. This seems to be an instance related problem rather than a matrix one
