I’ve been daily driving Linux for 17 months now (currently on Linux Mint). I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager. I’ve tried Debian as a distro to try to challenge myself, but have always ran into issues. On my PC, I could...
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

I don’t think so. AFAIK there is no native method to caption images in markdown, which is what this editor uses. People try to bring about this effect by italicising the part they would want as a caption right underneath the image. However, in your case, I see a [You’ve done well] banner underneath the image, which I assume is the caption you meant. Not sure how that happened but if that works, great!
Don’t get me wrong. Hyprland is great. I like it a lot. It looks fresh, it’s easy to configure and the keybindings are super easy to implement, but it’s also very barebones. Most of the functionality expected from a DE come from external software. Be it a top bar, an app launcher, a notification daemon or anything else....
I’m wondering why “I use Funtoo btw” didn’t become a meme, and arch did. Gentoo is objectively better at letting the user customise everything compared to arch
Before I say anything else, I should mention that this is nothing ground-breaking, neither is it terribly difficult to implement. This is simply how I envision a simple solution....
Well, yes, GnuPG is certainly an option. I don’t care how it’s implemented though, but I do care about the fact that clients/client apps take encryption into their own hands instead of relying on middleware.
From what I understand of PKI and the way the Internet is right now, trust in identity would be very hard to build if clients engage in PKI.
But taking encryption into one’s hands basically brings back control into one’s hands. You do not specifically need an encrypted connection in such a case, just a tamper-proof connection.
You are right. I didn’t think about it like so before. I could point at I2P and TOR but I don’t think that’s foolproof either, neither do I know enough to be able to comment. Is there no way out?
I block all 3rd scripts and some first party scripts along with restricting capabilities of the domains I do allow with a combination of uBlock Origin and NoScript. I’m definitely not paying for a subpar experience compared to this
Of course. They deserve it more for their time than software engineers on a fixed salary anyway.
Plot twist: it’s the same software engineers who work to cracking their code. Perfect strategy to continued employment as well as earning money on the side from people like me. Of course, I appreciate their time nonetheless.
I like to try websites out before tying my identity to them. How do you do it? Simplelogin? I honestly won’t manually make a new gmail for every new website I try and I to want the option to see what emails I get.
If they are going to push the transaction to my bank anyway, I’m definitely not trying it. As I said, even PayPal will obscure the buyer’s details from the seller. What’s the point?
They link to one’s credit card in the premium plan. That’s what I would have wanted to see becoming universal in their services, but unfortunately that’s behind a paywall
My apologies, I thought privacy.com supported credit cards, but apparently they don’t, even in the premium tier. Indeed, I would like virtual cards for my credit card, since I’m never going to buy anything with my debit card anyway. I wish the other banks had something like Capital One
I deleted my google accounts today
It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.
