Is that an XKCD, what number is it?

I thought it was common knowledge; he donated to some anti-LGBTQ political campaigns in the US which ultimately lead him to resign from Mozilla and start up his own browser. Which is good enough reason in my opinion to avoid it regardless of what ever else might be good about Brave.

As a non-American I don’t normally care about US politics or what “literally half of America” think but I am concerned with far-right politics spilling over in to my country. So I would naturally want to resist organisations aligning themselves with those politics, whether they are scandalous to Americans or not.

I’ve always had it as a backup email so it’ll be relatively straight forward to gradually migrate. I meant more in terms of its security/privacy reputation and whether or not a CEO has said/done anything concerning.

Hmm… is Tuta still good these days?

I don’t distrohop much these days because I’m happy with where I am. But I actually enjoy having a clean start once in a while; going back and experiencing the defaults for a time helps clarify which customisations are actually really useful and which ones I’m just stuck in a rut with which happens a lot more than I usually expect. Of course I back up all my data/media and move that across, but configurations I like to approach with a clean slate. It’s quite freeing to know that I can just wipe and reinstall my system at any time without much difficulty.

As far as I can tell they’ve still not released the source code (correct me if I’m wrong) so everyone should stay away from them.

Lots of red flags about this project, the website seems to be primarily fixated on pointing out how “bad” Thunderbird is, which isn’t a good look. Thunderbird works fine for me, this seems all a bit toxic.

It’s on Flathub. It’s open source C++ so what ever you can compile it for.

I totally get people saying things like “I couldn’t live with GNOME because it’s difficult to customise” because I used to be that guy. It took a significant shift in my mindset to come back to GNOME (having moved away from it previously when GNOME 3 was first released).

Out-of-the-box GNOME, with no extensions or tweaks.

I used to be a customise-everything kind of guy. But I’m not naturally efficient, so any workflow I designed for myself would always end up being inefficient. With GNOME I see it as a kind of off-the-shelf workflow that I can adapt to, something I wouldn’t have come up with myself but it makes me more efficient.

Yeah, I don’t disagree there, as somebody primed on Esperanto, familiar with the -ejo ending, it looks like an Esperanto word to me so my original instinct was to pronounce it in the Esperanto way but with the ‘hard-g’. I guess to be fair they would have more problems if they asked everyone to write ‘ĝ’.

It comes from the Esperanto forĝejo meaning forge (noun, literally a site, ejo, where forging takes place). So soft g, and j as English y. /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/

Not many names come from Esperanto so that’s interesting. :)

It’s worth a try, though in my experience it can struggle with very large files.

Sure, I pretty much use the method explained here for weekly backups: https://fedoramagazine.org/btrfs-snapshots-backup-incremental/

Btrfs for everything these days, subvolume snapshots have been game-changing for me for doing backups.

Reddit would surely have to ban users from creating new subreddits for certain (previously allowed) topics, or else users would just create an alternative “free” subreddit and everyone would post there, right? This can’t work like something like YouTube Premium originals or else they’re going to have to pay certain popular people to post to the paywalled subs - but nobody uses Reddit to follow individuals.

This is one of the weirder surveys I’ve ever taken, I hope they know what they’re doing.
