Nah, fundamentally proton uses the same encryption as everyone else, they just have a central server to exchange keys rather than one of the open servers.

No idea what your point is. Are you arguing the history of apple as a morally depraved company?

I don't have their number, how am I supposed to text them?

And you've never heard of sqlite

It can also link nicely over odbc to full databases which are represented a nice tables...with links between sheets...waiiit a second.

Uses compute platform that's spent (all of personal computer history) trying to exclude any outsiders from working with them, a design intention of Steve Jobs from day one leading to significant waste and suffering for the past 50 years.

Sad that Microsoft doesn't care

At least Linux has a leg to stand on. The culture can be exhausting but is generally in the right.

Wait who are the technical people you work with who are using things besides Excel?? Or by technical people do you specifically mean computer science people? Cause you get mech, civil, or electrical engineers in a room and I think I would have a heart attack if their designs were not all in Excel or word (+altium, solidkindaworks, etc)

It...was intended for those things. Excel is modern business' multi-tool. You're not going to excise it until there is a solution for the HR person to do basic bulk data processing, basic Excel programming without having to acknowledge they are doing programming, etc.

The other path is better spreadsheet software, but let's be honest most of the others are poor clones. Gsheets are nearly useless, only office is solid but...well, it's just Excel but free. Open office is Excel millennium edition and libre while better than open, and has a few nice quality of life improvements, it's still Excel.

You're both as bad as each other

Deeply curious about the down votes, isn't this accurate?

Browser integration with quality biometric login is a beautiful thing. Keepass' implementation of both is trash, and keepassxc's browser integration may actually be worse than the original.

That having been said I always recommend to people they use two managers, with keepass being the secure base for things you don't often need convenient access to like savings accounts, password manager passwords, tax services, etc.

bitwarden, proton, et al I use for the day-to-day...I don't give any fucks if my Lemmy account is lost for example.

"A walled garden is a garden enclosed by high walls, especially when this is done for horticultural rather than security purposes, although originally all gardens may have been enclosed for protection from animal or human intruders."

Agreed proton isn't this

"A closed platform, walled garden, or closed ecosystem[1][2] is a software system wherein the carrier or service provider has control over applications, content, and/or media, and restricts convenient access to non-approved applicants or content. "

Try using thunderbird and id argue proton is this

Does pass support custom url filters yet? I self host and so I have a lot of 192.168 bookmarks...when I tried pass it had no way to organize them by url prefix (port number).

Maps is what makes degoogling hard ;p

Everything else is pretty straightforward.

I get the thought process from a market standpoint, but this is a trap we all fall into because the big services subsidize subsidize subsidize to keep you locked in. If you want 15gb free, you sell your privacy. That's the equation, not "service a and b are equivalent except more gbs".

Switched to them in 2022 after a 2-year of proton precisely because the revised proton plans were weird and because id heard a lot of negative stories about getting locked out (from the proton side, not losing password). Ironically I almost just went thru the lockout process but thankfully the email support guy was able to get things sorted.

Tbh I miss nothing and since I use simple login or anonaddy for most misc things, switching was easy. My proton account is de facto dead...I wouldn't refuse to return, but I'm really just an a la carte guy.

Oh facts on that one, still dont really get it tbh but most of my use it's containered anyway

Lol source pls

I feel like people have an interesting view of techy/advanced/etc

My view is that you need to pick something in line with your goals: some people may be techy but just need something to host files and a web browser and don't care about new packages or whatever, or modern security or anything. I wouldn't recommend mint or fedora for a gaming PC regardless of techiness, you know?

1. Find a distro, run into problems
2. Ask for help
3. Get asked why the fuck you chose that distro when it's obviously for super brains
4. Repeat
