The problem is this leads to an effect I've mentioned before: instead of dev and community efforts being invested in building good things, those efforts are spent "chasing tails". In this case, chasing yet another "standard" that won't be and where you are always going to play second-hand loser - and thus you are never goign to really "capture people".

On the one hand sounds sensible, on the other hand I wonder if that's possible when wanting to apply things that need to take place as early in boot as possible (eg.: modprobe options for a module, apparmor profiles, ...).

Only 1450 more for a round number!

Haven't had issue in the last two weeks, but I do seem to recall different members are slotted into different servers.

Oh look, the pope of names has spoken!

The OP doesn’t say that they have a trademark. For me it sound as they don’t have one.

Ooooh might have misinterpreted that, still not fully sure on a second read. But in which case, it's even more important that they get that "hoarder dot app" trademark filed.

this means supporting an ad-driven business model

Not really, or rather it's not me doing it. Free tier does not really incentivize data collection, nowadays even the business where you are paying still collect and sell information about you and you can't trust they are not doing so (or turn heel behind your back) without high level access to their infrastructure.

I use free tier services; that signals that if you want to get my money, you have to do lots more than simply have a mouth to run. Some of those services have managed to prove their worth to my satisfaction, and deserved my payment, such as SDF which is where I have an account on, but even then I avoid subs and prefer one-time payments instead. But they are a minority (trust is not to be handed over freely) and Proton just squandered any chance of ever making the list.

Absolutely depends on what do you want it for and what resources can you apply on it (learning, set-up, etc).

That said, MySQL is owned by Oracle. The more-or-less blessed alternative IIRC is MariaDB.

Lol hate to say thank you

One thing that this entire situation has done for me is to make me feel more justified in my posture of never paying a subscription for an online service if I can avoid it. So far I'm using Proton stuff for the free tier only, so I can have some degree of relaxation in evaluating any alternatives withotu also having to worry about banking stuff.

“Is this Message approved by your board, and owners”

Didn't the board already post in full support of this fucker, then try to delete the post for PR damage control?

So, how do you feel today now that Proton literally backed their CEO bending over for Trump?

Trademark is weird. Like, from what I can understand (IANAL and all the ANAL disclaimers) you can't trademark "motherfucker" or "mother fucker", but you can trademark "Mother Fucker's" for, say, an escort service of dirty nuns.

I fail to see the GUI in that.

Like, if I open Dolphin, Thunar, or winfile.

They registered "hordr", not "hoarder". It's not your fault that there exist valid words in the dictionary, that describe what your app is doing, that they are not using.

This is just the usual case of domain and trademark squatting. If they attempt to further raise a finger (which from what I have read, from a judiciary point of view they haven't), you have good grounds to countersue. You can also provide the C&D as evidence of threatening and harassment and probably counts for suing the party who sent it if they used a third party, as there's supposedly a penalty for issuing false or trolling C&Ds.

That said: in a decent legal system no one should be able to trademark dictionary words. I'd suggest you change your trademark from "hoarder" to "hoarder.app" or something similar, as at the moment you trying to trademark a dictionary word is a vulnerability point that opponents with more money to waste can use to attack you, as this shows.

Unless ATProto is fully open and has been proven to be operable for a relay that's community-maintained, this largely smells like yet another "make the community endlessly chase the tail of corporate" scheme, which tracks well since from what I'm reading the people behind this are a bunch of AIbros and... Mozilla, who apparently enjoy endlessly chasing Chrome's tail.

And in the end, endless tail chasing in IT leads to justabout the same thing we saw XMPP Googlification lead: death.

To be fair Windows also uses less disk space after an update to Linux :p

Quick, how do I do for i in $(find . -iname '*.pdf' -mtime -30); do convert -density 300 ${i} ${i}.jpeg; done in a GUI, again?

Since the idea is that the "root partition" is immutable, serious question:

How do you fix a hardware config issue or a distro packaging / provision issue in an immutable distro?

Several times in my Linux history I've found that, for example, I need to remove package-provided files from the ALSA files in /usr/share/alsa in order for the setup to work with my particular chipset (which has a hardware bug). Other times, I've found that even if I set up a custom .XCompose file in my $HOME, some applications insist on reading the Compose files in /usr/share/X11/locale instead, which means I need to be able to edit or remove those files. In order to add custom themes, I need to be able to add them to /usr/share/{icons,themes}, since replicating those themes for each $HOME in the system is a notorious waste of space and not all applications seem to respect /usr/local/share. Etc.

Unless I'm mistaken on how immutable systems work, I'm not sure immutable systems are really useful to someone who actually wants to or needs to power user Linux, or customize past the "branding locking" that environments like Gnome have been aiming for for like a decade.

I mean, at least someone is providing a service!

I guess more could not be expected from such an indie developer as Nintendo.
