  • Yep, just switched to Proton (Swiss). Tutanota (German) is the other serious option for end-to-end encrypted, managed mail and calendar.

    The main difference is that Proton offers a full “eco-system” to better compete with Google: besides Mail and Calendar, they offer an integrated Drive with automated photos backup on mobile, VPN, and private mail alias service (SimpleLogin) on their subscription.

    I like it, but others prefer to spread their services among different. The price for the full package is similar to the price of Mail + VPN so you don’t lose anything if you choose to use a NextCloud instead of their Drive, to better integrate with other open source apps for notes and photos.



  • Welcome to Lemmy, @doodledup@lemmy.world ! Thank you for engaging with my post.

    If you look closely, you’ll see this is a cross-post. This is a way to share a post from one Lemmy community in another Lemmy community.

    And if you click to the original Lemmy post, what do you see?

    1. The community of the original Lemmy post is !privacyguides@lemmy.one , yes the official community of the same PrivacyGuides that you are linking. So I fully agree with your recommendation, that is why I put my original post in their community and then cross-posted it all over Lemmy.
    2. There is not just a link, but also a description:

    I am not the author.

    I found this blog to have both a short summary of the reasons as well as a pretty complete overview of the options for protecting against this specific threat model. I can just send this to people and they’ll understand the why and the how.

    So yes, I agree that for the Lemmings in here this won’t have a lot of new info, but I think we can use it to activate people who didn’t “get it” yet.















  • I’ve been doing almost all of my gaming on Linux for 2 years now, running a 5800X3D and an RTX 3080.

    Why the “almost”? I love to fly flight simulators, mostly DCS World, in VR and am still using an HP Reverb G2 (Windows) headset.

    Everything else works without issues on Linux for me. I’ve been sitting on Pop!_OS 22.04 but if I were to install today, I’d go for Linux Mint

    You can imagine that calculating that correction (5 million children each year and even if we saved them with Musk’s money, he’d still have at least tens of billions left) did not move me to the right on the political spectrum.

    We don’t need lies to spread our story, only the fascists do. The truth is leftist enough.

    I’m onboarding onto Proton now (but WITH my own domain, so I’ll never have to change e-mails again (well, unless I turn out to be trans later and change my name)). For mail I’ve heard of Tuta, I think that’s the only serious alternative.

    A few hundred billion divided by a few hundred million is on the order of a thousand, not a million. More specifically: 421 billion divided by 340 million is just over 1200 dollars.

    Is doing simple maths impossible when the answer is something you don’t like? I thought that was a conservative-only disease.

    Be better, leftists!

    Instead, say:

    If we took Musk’s money and use it to help the poor, we would solve world hunger within a decade and prevent 5 million children from dying of hunger each year.

    The meme should be:

    5 million children die each year and Musk is the richest man in the world

    Vs

    5 million children are well-fed instead of dying of hunger but Musk only has a few tens of billions left

    Source: https://www.wfp.org/stories/we-have-resources-end-hunger-no-child-should-be-allowed-starve

    Besides being correct, this has another advantage: it does not reinforce the idea that morals end at national borders.

    @SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world could you please make this meme? Or someone else?
