  • Summer 2005. I have the first letters for my name and middle names and then the full last name dot gmail.com. However, nowadays I use my own domain. Since 2008 i got my own domain dot country code but it was for selfhosting. 4 letters dot country code. Only last three years ago i switch to use it for mail as well. I dont host my inbox, just forwards it.

  • I would make sure the family car accident don't happen that year in October. Next thing would be to grow up and actually try to fix the climate problem so we reach the goal of 0 degree higher temperature on average. Imagine having 30 extra years to spare for this task. Telling how much damage it already have done and we have enough evidence that it is critical to start doing it now.

  • Emails controlled by the government? No, never. Emails are a decentralized protocol and there is no point what so ever to have the government controlling it. Look, emails are not safe, not encrypted. See all emails as public knowledge. If I go to their website and login to view sensitive information about me, then it is safer. Apps are optional.

    If you are talking about Kivra then there are private companies alternatives as well. You as a user pick and choose. Personally I dont use it as I get like one letter per year and would forget to login to it. There are better alternatives for normal letters as well.

  • In my country we have something called BankID. BankID, it's Sweden's leading electronic identification system, widely used for banking, e-government services, and secure logins. So I use it to login to the bank, check my taxes, hospital status, bookings etc. Basically the message itself is already on their website and never leaves them.

    Subscriptions? We have RSS.

    Buying something? Login to the website and see your order.

    Delivery of something you bought and want to see when the packet arrives? You have an smartphone app for that. Like login to company app and view. You even get push notifications.

    And for those people who actually get a message from a person instead of a company. You have chat, like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord etc. You even can have voice and video conference with the other person. Chat is instant messaging and is not slow compared to email.

    Account registration? Make use of OpenID. Or even better passkeys.

    Bonus: In my country we have Kivra - government post. Any company can get it and send the normal letter in a digital format - basically the none printed version of the letter so a PDF.

  • I don't want to fall for ads. I use price comparison webpages and can there monitor for specific items and priceranges.

    Alternative you can often view their ad campaign on their website and in PDF format.

    There are special smartphone apps that just collect ADs. Basically the provider put their PDF there. Just subscribe there to what you want.

    Some people even prefer the paper version.

  • I believe emails should not be used. There are or should be better alternatives. Account creation should be handled by passkeys.

    Email is legacy. Insecure and content is just a webpage...

  • I am just wondering if it would be better to go straight to fiber instead of ethernet as most have fiber to the home anyway. That should help with future speed upgrades beyond 10Gbit as well.

    Fiber is also more power efficient? Why not?

  • Both KDE and GNOME are good when you compare it to anything Windows have today.

    I personally prefer KDE because of much customization support. I have it working with many keyboard shortcuts. I would miss the settings panel in hyperland.

    GNOME is simple and elegant. Showing only what is needed. I can really understand people liking it. I like but just miss some small details like the keyboard shortcuts thing and focusing etc. How GNOME works is different mindset which O just have not learned. But GNOME looks good and have everything covered.

    Xfc and lxd just need some more love from the developers. There are very few of them so I completely understand. Money issue.

  • It is actually a competitor. Mean Microsoft have to improve if they want to keep the users. With the Windows 10 EOL soon they will give up on those users on those computers. Basically forcing anyone else to take care of them - Linux stands there welcoming them. Users just need a push or someone saying try this for free.
