I guess for me would be 3-4 months in covid lockdown, 2020. I live by myself in proximity to family, but some of that family were vulnerable so I wasn’t taking any chances. Not a nice time.

Is this the story from a week or so ago re-reported or has he said something else?

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.

Why the surprise? My first thought on seeing this was there must be a lot of Australia or New Zealand answers due to the relative geographic isolation of Australia and New Zealand in relation to the rest of the first world.

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’ve been (gently) persuading my friends and family to move away from meta platforms for years; until now mostly they don’t care about the concerns I have and obviously I can’t make them. Now (this week) is the first time I feel like they’re starting to listen so I’m cautiously optimistic. I know a few people who have left Twitter in the last year having been big users (myself being one of them), hopefully the same reasoning will resonate with them again.

Yes, you really need to rewrite that constitution of yours and declaring something “unconstitutional” doesn’t win you an argument, it makes you look like a brainwashed idiot. Just saying.

If it puts your mind at rest, I’ve only just heard about it now.

Really? Just about every distro I know has an archive of past releases. With WinXP I wouldn’t know where to begin.

Also “I can’t get through to them, they must be on the internet”

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.

Terrible that you’re being downvoted for this while, currently, the top upvoted comment is someone boasting about having two cars.

I think you have to use one of the “redesigns” for it to work, or maybe it’s only in the app. Not on Old Reddit anyway.

And the fact that people flock there despite that is a way I feel more and more distant from humanity…
