CW: slurs, bigotry

Well this was apparently their chat log. I found the link through the comments on Hacker News. Whatever you think of Drew, he's not wrong at all, they sound like they just discovered 4chan.

Sigh...Seems like every time Proton gets criticized, their fanboys always ensure to let you know that you're somehow wrong. I don't know how they managed to get recommended by so many people considering they provide unaffordable services for everyone not on a high income. I would try to migrate if I were you, they're pumping new features constantly despite their users wanting bugfixes and improvements to existing ones to gain more and more ecosystem users. It's a dark pattern. Look at Google and Apple.

"Oh, what about the free-tier?" It's a joke having to use their own clients when powerful open-source ones exist. "Oh, but it's because of the encryption that's protecting you!" I know how to use PGP, thanks. Plus, it only works if you're sending to other Proton accounts, and guess what? I don't even have control over my own key pair! (Edit: and when migrating away, I can't even bulk export my emails!)

Even the comments made by me and Dsklnsadog got vibe-based downvoted because they can't even bother to come up with a response on why our opinions were wrong. I'm glad I stopped using their services before I sent them any money.

Also why would someone who want enhanced privacy put all their eggs in the basket by trapping themself in Proton's ecosystem. Compartmentalize is important, and it ends up being cheaper too. Proton's pricing is cutthroat.

Being downvoted for a Wikipedia link? You have ghosts following you, it seems.

Interfacing markdown:

  • Joplin (pretty popular, haven't used)
  • Standard Notes (same as above)
  • Markor (feature-packed, a bit outdated)
  • BeautyXT (maybe a bit too minimal almost, but gets the job done if you just want text based editing)

Interfacing orgmode:

  • Orgzly (beautiful simple app that uses a superior syntax when compared to Markdown due to its built-in agenda and to-do structure)

Syncing flat files (might not be compatible with all of the above)

  • Their own hosted server if available (easy but not private, some provide E2EE)
  • Syncthing (easy and private)
  • WebDav or an SFTP server (hard if self-hosted or otherwise easy through some providers)
  • Termux + a Git server (pain)

In French culture, wearing them is not something French people would do.

Explain to me what French people wear in French culture. Are you trying to stereotype French people here? What do you call the Muslim population who migrated to France, hold citizenships, have children, speak French, work in France? Are they not French? Or are you implying that French people cannot be Muslims? What about white French who converted to Islam? Are they no longer French?

SSH into my PC, from there pretty much anything is possible. Neovim works pretty well.

If you watch the videos, the voice is hilariously bad, it has to be some generative AI voice acting.

If you want some cloud syncing but also want privacy, then you will have to self-host, or pay someone to do it for you. There are some free tier Nextcloud accounts, but quite limited in storage. Disroot is one of them. If you do end up self-hosting, there are really good budgeting stacks out there:

My partner and I use Actual budget, and I can recommend it.

For any of these services, you don't even have to have a server running 24/7 if you don't add transactions live. If you do it once a day, just boot up the Docker container, store your stuff, and go about your day. But if you want constant access, you'd have to leave the server running all the time, and to access from the public network, then I recommend Tailscale.

I've been waiting on this issue the day it was posted... It doesn't bother me as much as I have a second vertical monitor so the flashing is at the edge of the vertical one, and it's definitely reduced but not gone away. Coupled with these recent driver updates, my X server just gets slower over time (not in game, thankfully).

Nvidia doesn't even have to go FOSS, they can just go OS, and this issue could probably be resolved by now due to increased transparency of what the f is going on with the drivers, as well as better collaboration between kernel developers and driver developers. Who knows what they're attempting behind the curtains, 3+ releases since this bug was filed and still not fixed.

A genuine fuck you, Nvidia.

 

While editing in an input field, I'm so used to going for Ctrl+W instead of Ctrl+Backspace because it's more ergonomic. But almost all modern browsers use Ctrl + W to close tabs. Since when was this a convention? I'd love to go back in time and git revert this change. Incredibly frustrating.

TL;DR: old man yelling at clouds.
