If he had anything to do with it he probably heated the discussion and yelled at him like a spoiled brat.

Yeah, LTSC IoT 21H2 should last even longer, but I'd still avoid getting attached to any PC that has it installed.

I'm guessing the double meaning flew right over, hence the incomplete table mentioning Tamara's site from Oregon, USA. The thing is, I'll need further research from other countries to consider trusting these findings, even if I'm already used to being overly cautious when purchasing hygiene products.

At the moment if it comes from the US I'm not buying it. 😏

This was a Conan O'Brien bit, right?

Gotta go fastened!

This is so untrue it's actually hilarious.

That is the usual effect sensationalism has, but feel free to choose what best suits your needs.

I do enjoy Cromite, Librewolf, Mullvad Browser, Tor Browser and some others, but I can't deny each (as any) has it's own set of drawbacks. Better to have them in mind when setting up and using those browsers than to panic and run in circles searching for a perfect solution that doesn't exist.

Even more importantly I'd celebrate that people are using any privacy focused FOSS, even if it's not what I'd ideally use. If they feel motivated to keep on that road they'll end learning to use more advanced options in time. On the other hand, make them feel insecure about their options and bloat their minds with sensationalist posts and they'll just use Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge because, "personally", why bother when everyone and everything is so evil and complicated and we're all doomed anyway? 😮‍💨

Why I recommend against pushing people away from Brave:

Most people are still trapped in an ecosystem owned by either Microsoft, Google or Apple. We're yet to see a perfect web browser for everyone, but in the meantime we choose one, maybe two or three if we feel a bit more picky for each task, and use them to the best of our capacity. Making anyone feel guilty and ashamed for choices like this, when the best options are few, relative, and often come at a cost, is just useless.

I suggest reading the settings guides available at privacyguides.org/en/desktop-browsers/ or checking the browser comparison at eylenburg.github.io/browser_comparison.htm to know the details that anyone who actually wants a better browsing experience cares about. Better to lend a hand than push around.

If whoever reads this still can't get over it and needs to play a blame game with someone about why everyone should boycott Mozilla, Brave, Proton and other privacy focused FOSS companies because of what someone said, did or thought, please at least find a decent fork, toss a coin to it's devs, share their work and help others benefit from it.

Three consecutive replies because of an app I'm testing. Sorry about that.

You're also describing what happens on Windows. Gaming on PC requires some tinkering and knowledge. If you want to turn a machine on, install a game and play it you'll buy a gaming console.

Regarding Mumble, Zerotier and XLink Kai, sorry to read that. Hopefully there'll be something in their docs that help you or other alternatives you can switch to. Deep Rock Galactic can be a bit of a resource hog, but there's probably a solution for that too. Have you used the latest community recommendations on it's ProtonDB page? https://www.protondb.com/app/548430?device=pc

Thank you for hosting this space. 🫶

Let's hope they consolidate their social media presence further and stop posting on most of their other profiles as well.

It's their call anyway, as is anyone else's to keep using their services or not. I don't think most of these companies' use of their official social media profiles benefit anyone, and it's certainly not a meaningful enough news for the echo they're getting. Anyone truly interested in whatever Proton AG is doing will probably have a Proton account and undoubtedly receive frequent emails from them. Any stunts made by community managers representing them are just ephemeral noise.

Important to note Aaron was helping democratize information while companies like Meta, Amazon, Google and Microsoft just centralize, twist and redact information to monetize access to a dumbed down and censored version of it.

I've been noticing federation issues repeatedly these past days. Mastodon posts, comments and interactions are rarely visible from Lemm.ee

I recently switched to PDFgear. Much more easy and comfortable to use, but sadly still not open source. Give it a try if you're interested.

Sorry for your loss. Mine had cancer too.

As silly as applying review scores to art? Take a moment to really think about how dumb that is.
