They weren't though... I used to love the stardock stuff especially. But they were objectively inferior. I also couldn't run hyprland or sway with nearly every part replaced by an unconventional replacement like the friggin notifications daemon for example. Even on Plasma, i could literally replace the entire shell. And even on GNOME, I could add an "extension" that essentially replaces the GNOME workflow.

As much as I enjoyed those days of windows customisation, it was far too shallow compared to what i can do on a Linux setup. Will i do all that though? Probably not, i like my Plasma setup as it is right now.

Better software support? How long is it now?

Most of systemd stuff is decoupled well. You don't need to use networkd to make use of resolved for example.

Please don't use privacytools.io anymore. Use privacyguides.org instead

What Proton is doing to e-mail is about the same that WhatsApp, Messenger and others did to messaging - instead of just using an open protocol like XMPP they opted for their closed thing in order to lock people into their apps.

PGP is not closed. What proton has done is make a really cool JS library for PGP as part of their Web UI (openpgpjs.org) which other projects, even those unrelated to Proton have used, like Mailvelope. They're also pushing the PGP standard itself to support stuff like post-quantum encryption. So this is really odd to hear as Proton is, without a doubt, the most open and interoperable of all the properly encrypted providers.

Lavabit

With Lavabit, you were simply trusting them mostly blindly on their claims. Yeah it worked out that one time but could have gone very wrong.

Yes, they have it because GDPR does require it.

They've had it since far before GDPR took affect. They've also had bridge which has always allowed external backups and is in fact real time. They now also support forwarding mails, which should also suffice for your use case.

Open sourcing the server software is desired ofc, but would it really mean a lot for security? Not really. All the relevant bits are already open source. And none of it is really non-standard. But i do still wish for that for the sake of transparency. And yeah i wish they would move away from this almost source-available model.

Regarding SMTP, yeah i agree. But they do provide that through bridge and also for business users based on a per-request basis.

There are definitely a few artificial limitations and stuff that really pisses me off, like the limit on aliases in custom domains and SMTP for normal paid users, but a lot of the talk I'm hearing on lemmy about proton is just FUD.

Both are. At least in manga and anime.

The family deal and the black friday deal popups were all easy to disable

Oh yeah the UI stuff was a bug, they've fixed it already

Yes

They're rewriting their mobile apps to make it possible

You can disable it from proton mail settings

Nothing you're saying makes sense in the context of the comment you're replying to.

No company has bought gitea. They just made a commercial entity which can accept contracts for enterprise installations and make some hyper specific customisations not needed for normal users (like some specific mode of internal authentication) in those installations. So far Gitea has been great still.

No

Given the sheer scale of data collection now, i doubt even that will protect us into the future

Not free but definitely wonderful

I do have the issue when I'm logged out

Not really true for video games. Plenty of popular games still with uncracked denuvo...

They don't seem to check if a user has adblock and pays.

They definitely seem to have checks in place for it. I have Family Premium and so far no issues at all.

Edit: to clarify, not a fan of any of this. Just saying it does work for me
