  • Arguments for Signal over Whatsapp, Messenger, and SnapChat

    Jump

  • For me it is not so much about personal privacy, as against concentration of power.

    Insane money combined with capacity of invisible, precise manipulation of mass information is really hurting democracies. Big tech is already richer than most countries, and their negative influence is more visible than ever. So now we, who believe in democratic principles, have to vote not only with ballots, but also with our choices and our conscious attention. The least we can do is resist this concentration of power on personal level. Ideally - do it together.

  • How good is /e/ privacy based LineageOS fork?

    Jump

  • I used it for a few years on Oneplus Nord, and a few days ago switched to pixel7 with LineageOS. First impressions are that e/os was much more usable out of the box.

    I surely have worse experience with banking: Revolut and SmartID app just refuse to work due to rooted phone (worked well on e/os). Other bank app is somewhat more broken - on e/os it didnt fully load but at least showed notificatioms on each transaction, now doesnt and is useless.Could be due to newer android version on LineageOS though, I didnt investigate that.

  • Why do people indoors at public places always listen to their phone at full volume?

    Jump

  • Not "always". In fact almost never where I live. And if they do, it is very likely we witness some glorious russian culture on display.

  • How private is the Presearch search engine?

    Jump

  • How likely will "Cloud Storage" eventually replace Local Storage?

    Jump

  • If by "seamless" you mean that wireless data speeds can soon match locally attached storage, there will still remain a political question of autonomy. We might some day have light terminals without storage or even serious processors with all the data and work still done in our cellars garages and and attics via 8G or whatever grade connection. If there will be enough demand for market and politics for devices to be available, of course. So yeah, I think, culture and politics hold the answer.

  • Looking for email providers.

    Jump

  • I was lucky to find https://purelymail.com/ which fit my budget and needs - primarily supporting multiple domains for my family and personal projects without extra costs.

  • Why virtual desktops always have same background?

    Jump

  • You might get surprised - I looked at default KDE, Gnome and docs for a couple WMs. Yet my question is not "how do I get different backgrounds", but rather, "how come is this the usual thinking"? Why? Are there serious drawbacks technically or from UX perspective that I didnt think of?

  • Selfhost alternative to sharedrop.io?

    Jump

  • I also just use KDE connect on windows to exchange needed files or clipboard. Devices need to be on same LAN or VPN during exchange. Pausing PC media during calls is a nice bonus.

    For syncing photo gallery and Obsidian I use Syncthing.

  • How old is the average open source programmer?

    Jump

  • average working age?

  • Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name?

    Jump

  • One other reason I imagine is to establish a single family name, especially with children in mind. I'm not sure it actually works better than a double damily name, but it probably seems so to some.

  • Help with training plan

    Jump

  • Just my emotional reaction: I am amateurishly selfhosting for more than ten years with only basic linux knowledge. This training is probably more focused on pros and general web development than self hosting. In my imaginary perfect world self hosting would be a common skillset taught in a secondary school.

    Why is the word "defense" avoided in reporting and rhetorics around Ukraine?

  • Are there ways to use VR headset for realtime assistance?

    Jump

  • I think the biggest issue is that people dont like to look at the object through phone when it is much clearer here in reality. So looking for themselves and looking to show it to assistant naturally split into two separate processes. While looking "for yourself" the phone is randomly dangling in the hand, making the stream sea/sickening.

    So I thought, VR headsets have a good see-through mode, which could also be streamed. It also could easily display a pointer from remote. Thus both processes would merge into one, and you could directly comment on what is on focus.

    Jump

  • For computer problems we use remote desktop. But for dealing with the printer, tv, phones, car, or checking the router we need to have video chat.

  • Preferred RSS/Newsfeed Reader Solutions?

    Jump

  • same here

  • Static site generator for an idiot who doesn't want to learn a new templating language just to have a blog?

    Jump

  • Technically Grav is not a static site generator, it is just a flat file cms. It means there is no need to generate all the files of website and upload them to server each time you write a post. I have no idea why people like static sites for blogging.

  • What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever?

    Jump

  • Such term would be useful. Christianity does not seem to follow this leftwing liberal immigrant.

  • em client email application okay for privacy?

    Jump

  • Just took the opportunity to try Thunderbird again and had to downvote myself :) I guess my previous frustrations were related to initial sluggishness while downloading and non-compacting loads tens of thousands of mails from gmail. It still takes some time, but after downloading and compacting my data, search seems to be very responsive.

  • em client email application okay for privacy?

    Jump

  • I am using eMclient for several years now. I would have loved to use open source, but experience of using Thunderbird was unbearably sluggish and glitchy. Other options for windows were simply lacking. EM is far from perfect too, but still better. I hope to retry Thunderbird in upcoming years to check if things under the hood changed much.
