OpenPGP is actively supported by dozens of clients, they cannot and do not encrypt subjects, so Proton chose to be compatible with that. I think dismissing cross-compatibility because of a hand wave “nobody uses it” isn’t very productive either.

While it does help with search it was required to be compatible with OpenPGP.

Canonical already maintains security patches for paying customers so they aren't actually doing any extra work, but putting it behind a subscription gives them an option to start charging more for desktops, gives clear cost for server use, and maybe is marketing for "look at the premium work we do".

GIMP could fix that today if they just used the filepicker portal. Otherwise once they get to GTK4.

Brightness is very key imo. If your display can’t easily hit 1000nits it won’t be very good.

That works fine. For any GPU task, like encoding, having a second one is great.

Maybe you are thinking of Telegram?

I'm not sure of its past, this repo goes back 4 years, but Signal is electron https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/tree/main

Electron doesn’t use CEF, they directly bundle Chromium.

Windows doesn’t support deduplication itself (though ntfs does support hardlinks if someone wanted to do it). It actually won’t help here because every electron app bundles different versions in practice.

In simple usage OpenGL can perform identical to Vulkan. A compositor with little complex rendering won’t change.

The phone is extremely low end hardware and not pleasant to use.

They’ve done great work investing in the software but its still young and incomplete.

I would buy a new one if it had significantly more powerful hardware.

Nobody has to use git, you can host binaries on github, or a dozen other places, and then just link to it on a page. Trivial task.

They just clearly don’t care.

bash sucks but i don’t agree. Some simple rules like regularly use intermediate variables with useful names and never use shorthand arguments goes a long way.

Why is a jit needed for native arm software?

I’d guess Windows for Arm would perform fine though.
