    • Mainstream cloud storage providers like Google Drive and iCloud have access to users' files, posing privacy and security risks.
    • Nextcloud is the preferred secure cloud storage option, but has drawbacks like the need for technical expertise to self-host and issues with end-to-end encryption.
    • Filen is a user-friendly secure cloud storage option, but has some concerns around encryption implementation.
    • Mega offers a large free storage plan, but has had past security issues and controversies.
    • Proton's secure cloud storage is part of their broader privacy-focused ecosystem, but has some app and feature inconsistencies.
    • Cryptomator is a useful tool to add an extra layer of encryption to any cloud storage service.
    • Apple's Advanced Data Protection is a proprietary solution that lacks transparency compared to open-source alternatives.
    • It's important to weigh the risks versus benefits when choosing a cloud storage provider based on the sensitivity of the data.
    • Switching to a more secure and privacy-focused cloud storage option is worthwhile, even for non-sensitive data.
    • The article encourages users to take steps to improve their cloud storage privacy and security, rather than relying on mainstream providers by default.

  • so that maybe they can get some fucking perspective

    Your idea could maybe work, if they didn't think was staged and part of some conspiracy. The real (harder to implement, but long term) solution would be to fix the education system and nip this in the bud.

  • People still use Ubuntu?

    They're currently number 6 on DistroWatch's Last 6 Months. So people are at least still interested in it.

    The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics are a light-hearted way of measuring interest in Linux distributions and other free operating systems among the visitors of this website. They correlate neither to usage nor to quality and should not be used to measure the market share of distributions. They simply show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch was accessed each day, nothing more.

  • Too bad the translation’s not really accurate here. It should say “god damn!” GYATT DAYYUM

    tl;dr: gyatt is almost exclusively used to mean, "god damn, phat ass."

    Except it is accurate, in shorthand and meaning. Gyatt started off to mean "god" and people would even say "gyatt damn." Then it moved to be fully "gyatt dayyum" to mean "god damn" as you noted....and then abbreviated to just "gyatt."

    Then it evolved to the present day where gyatt is mostly used to say, "god damn, that's a phat ass" or some variation. When something is terrible or your disappointed, you don't really say "gyatt it" or even "gyatt dayyum it" to mean "god damn it" or if you're pissed off at someone, you don't say "gyat you / gyatt dayyum you" to mean "god damn you." But if someone with a phat ass walks by, you'll say "GYATT," to mean "god damn, that's phat ass.

  • As you said, it's hard to calculate an exact number. But if you think your search results are only worth $1/month, that's up to you to determine. I know if I was an ad-broker or profiler, I'd pay more than $1/month/person as that's valuable information, in my opinion. And Kagi is worth much more than that to me. Proton theorizes:

    If Google Search market share is also 90% in the US, that’s over 274 million people using Google, and the company earns $393 per year from each of them.

  • Could you show us a few not so biased news sources? I suppose this will also vary wildly by topic. A news outlet might be narrative/propaganda driven on one topic, but not about another.

    Have you heard of Ground News? It's basically a news aggregator that shows multiple stories on the same event, but with a bias rating and a factuality score, as well as a ownership category. Also, a blindspot category which shows articles being shown predominantly by one side and not the other.

    The Ground News bias ratings are calculated using three independent news monitoring organizations: All SidesAd Fontes Media, and Media Bias Fact Check. This score does not measure the bias of specific news articles. It is an assessment of the political bias of the publication. The rating takes into consideration things like the wording, story choices and political affiliation of the outlet.

  • You don’t need a video camera pointed out towards the public 24/7.

    Depends on where you live. Being notified of packages at your door is handy before they get stolen.

    And being able to see who knocks on your door is also handy without exposing your eye to the tiny (and glass) peephole.

    As well as being able to see who approaches when you're not even there.

  • If you want to start small, I'd go with one supported by Asuswrt-Merlin, "a third party alternative firmware for Asus routers, with a special emphasis on tweaks and fixes rather than radical changes or collecting as many features as possible." Keeps it close to stock with minor upgrades, and a faster release cycle for fixes. The RT-AX88U_PRO is one of the higher end routers that is supported by Merlin.

  • I think if Fairphones get GrapheneOS support...

    Then Fairphone needs to up their hardware security and software support. GrapheneOS has minimum requirements that vendors must meet for GrapheneOS to support them, and Fairphone doesn't measure up. Only Pixels do, at the moment.
