How do you decide what to archive, and what is the long term plan? If Annas goes down it can be pieced together again? Or is it served to users now too?

The archive team sounds interesting!

What can an ordinary user do at this point that would help?

Norway is a rich country so the government can help people buy electric instead of gasoline cars. Of course, they got rich by selling oil, but yes.

Sorry, a "storage box" ìs a product by a company called Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/

sshfs is a way to mount something remote through ssh so it behaves like a local directory.

Exactly three times as many? Do you count all surfaces that form triangles or only the white ones?

I have a hetzner storage box mounted with sshfs, but I wish I didn't have to since I'm paying for protondrive too. It took me a whole day to upload my personal files to protondrive through the web interface since it crashed the browser repeatedly and I had to verify what got uploaded or not each time.

Oh that sounds good! I would also prefer rclone. I'm using the protonvpn through the native gnome network manager + ovpn profile rather than having to add some third party repo or the community flatpak.
I wonder if that "he should have access" means that the API specs can be public information or more like "we trust henry but it's still secret." I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens next.

I recently read that the Linux client is something that might not happen for a long time, if at all. The user base is too small and it doesn't make sense economically etc.

I have been hoping that a company that values privacy would see the benefit of people switching to Linux, and that having first-class support for Linux clients would be valuable in itself, as a message about Protons values.

If there's no money, then that's unfortunate. But the free and open source community has been known to put in a lot of work when there's a need. Would it be possible to make it easier for people to work on a community client? The main thing needed from Proton would be documenting the API I guess.

Is Proton interested in working together with the free and open source community?

That's how I think about it too. I guess the original description was a bit vague, what they did to the americas. It includes both. First invasion, then immigration.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I could be wrong, but to me those words describe the initial phase. Once established as a society, the rest involves people moving into this society, which I would call immigration.

What would you call it instead?

 

... what should we do?
I guess it all depends on how it would be implemented, which is something I have a hard time imagining at this moment. How do you imagine day to day online life in a post-Chat Control EU world? Which ways of communicating would still be private? Is there anything we can do at this point to prepare for the worst outcome?

So, I'm just assuming we've all seen the discussions about the bear.
Personally I feel that this is an opportunity for everyone to stop and think a little about it. The knee-jerk reaction from many men seems to be something along the lines of "You would choose a dangerous animal over me? That makes me feel bad about myself." which results in endless comments of the "Akchully... according to Bayes theorem you are much more likely to..." kind.
It should be clear by now that it doesn't lead to good places.
Maybe, and I'm open to being wrong, but maybe the real message is women saying: "We are scared of unknown men."
Then, if that is the message intended, what do we do next? Maybe the best thing is just to listen. To ask questions. What have you experienced to make you feel that way?
I firmly believe that the empathy we give lays a foundation for other people being willing to have empathy for the things we try to communicate.
It doesn't mean we should feel bad about ourselves, but just to recognize that someone is trying to say something, and it's not a technical discussion about bears.
What do you think?

 

For example, I'm using Debian, and I think we could learn a thing or two from Mint about how to make it "friendlier" for new users. I often see Mint recommended to new users, but rarely Debian, which has a goal to be "the universal operating system".
I also think we could learn website design from.. looks at notes ..everyone else.

I made this during a time I felt very lonely. Now I don't feel lonely anymore, I feel great (for reasons unrelated to crafting, but still).

I'm not proposing anything here, I'm curious what you all think of the future.

What is your vision for what you want Linux to be?

I often read about wanting a smooth desktop experience like on MacOS, or having all the hardware and applications supported like Windows, or the convenience of Google products (mail, cloud storage, docs), etc.

A few years ago people were talking about convergence of phone/desktop, i.e. you plug your phone into a big screen and keyboard and it's now your desktop computer. That's one vision. ChromeOS has its "everything is in the cloud" vision. Stallman has his vision where no matter what it is, the most important part is that it's free software.

If you could decide the future of personal computing, what would it be?
