Security updates - for most IT departments not having these is a non-starter

Neat, thanks for the insight. I’ll try it out tomorrow, test out the personas

Thanks for the rec

Am I naive to think that Qubes would be less work?

I’d set up a few different qubes for the apps kind of like graphene and then just let them update as normal. If I hear anything bad about them I just nuke that qube right?

A little extra up front work, but way easier to maintain with much less at risk if something goes wrong?

Thanks for introducing me to posteo, was looking for something to leave proton for

Moved to what?

Are there any serious replacements for proton outside of self-hosting?

Can’t relate to Windows user problems smh

CachyOS for gaming PCs, Debian for browsing laptops

All I’ve learned is that most Canadians won’t change their behaviour for anything. Just 25% is sad.

In my experience co-workers talk down on the US government in conversation and then happily fly over for their industry conference. Politics is just entertainment to them.

The mass detention and “re-education” of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in China’s Xinjiang region began in early 2017.

The yellow umbrella movement protests and crackdowns reached their peaks roughly in 2019/2020.

These are very discernible reasons.

I’ve been spamming this lately but it feels warranted:

Please reach out to your family and urge them to stop using Facebook (or worse, any form of reels) if they still do. The onus is on the informed now. It’s not enough to just ask the tech barons to stop, we also need to divert their support.

“We will blockade the straight to pressure you into ending the war.”

“Omg agree to my unreasonable terms.”

“No.”

“Uhh okay now I blockade too.”

“Thanks for the help.”

And to think in ~6 months you’ll probably need to go through that whole song and dance again when you switch them to Matrix 😔

I’ve been a paid protonmail user for years. What should I use instead?

Can’t argue with that, glad you’re enjoying it 👍

Well, now you don’t.

Moving to Debian from Ubuntu was like moving from Windows to Linux again for me. It basically removes all the bloat and adware and just left the things I actually like, which I assume Ubuntu inherited from Debian anyway.

But to be fair I just use my Debian machine for writing projects, research, and flash cards.

I didn’t realize spoiler links were possible and took the bait 🫠
