You don’t know the exact content of the files. He did not show those vidoeclips. I dont know if you can buy that or not. Sure it can be indication but in general you dont know as it varies between video to video if it is possible to buy.

Emails controlled by the government? No, never. Emails are a decentralized protocol and there is no point what so ever to have the government controlling it. Look, emails are not safe, not encrypted. See all emails as public knowledge. If I go to their website and login to view sensitive information about me, then it is safer. Apps are optional.

If you are talking about Kivra then there are private companies alternatives as well. You as a user pick and choose. Personally I dont use it as I get like one letter per year and would forget to login to it. There are better alternatives for normal letters as well.

I don’t think sensitive information like finances should be in the email inbox ever. I don’t. I login to the bank itself with BankID, similar to Freja eid.

In my country we have something called BankID. BankID, it’s Sweden’s leading electronic identification system, widely used for banking, e-government services, and secure logins. So I use it to login to the bank, check my taxes, hospital status, bookings etc. Basically the message itself is already on their website and never leaves them.

Subscriptions? We have RSS.

Buying something? Login to the website and see your order.

Delivery of something you bought and want to see when the packet arrives? You have an smartphone app for that. Like login to company app and view. You even get push notifications.

And for those people who actually get a message from a person instead of a company. You have chat, like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord etc. You even can have voice and video conference with the other person. Chat is instant messaging and is not slow compared to email.

Account registration? Make use of OpenID. Or even better passkeys.

Bonus: In my country we have Kivra - government post. Any company can get it and send the normal letter in a digital format - basically the none printed version of the letter so a PDF.

I don’t want to fall for ads. I use price comparison webpages and can there monitor for specific items and priceranges.

Alternative you can often view their ad campaign on their website and in PDF format.

There are special smartphone apps that just collect ADs. Basically the provider put their PDF there. Just subscribe there to what you want.

Some people even prefer the paper version.

I believe emails should not be used. There are or should be better alternatives. Account creation should be handled by passkeys.

Email is legacy. Insecure and content is just a webpage…

This is why you should have file history versioning on. With backup this is a most.

I am just wondering if it would be better to go straight to fiber instead of ethernet as most have fiber to the home anyway. That should help with future speed upgrades beyond 10Gbit as well.

Fiber is also more power efficient? Why not?

Of course he cannot accept it. It is not American made. We know American first. And then think of all the tariffs he would need to pay for it!

Both KDE and GNOME are good when you compare it to anything Windows have today.

I personally prefer KDE because of much customization support. I have it working with many keyboard shortcuts. I would miss the settings panel in hyperland.

GNOME is simple and elegant. Showing only what is needed. I can really understand people liking it. I like but just miss some small details like the keyboard shortcuts thing and focusing etc. How GNOME works is different mindset which O just have not learned. But GNOME looks good and have everything covered.

Xfc and lxd just need some more love from the developers. There are very few of them so I completely understand. Money issue.

And how many times was all that code rewritten?

Haha

Sure, test it, but in a virtual machine first. Then read up what you actually want.

It is actually a competitor. Mean Microsoft have to improve if they want to keep the users. With the Windows 10 EOL soon they will give up on those users on those computers. Basically forcing anyone else to take care of them - Linux stands there welcoming them. Users just need a push or someone saying try this for free.

Very impressive the amount of years it was supported.

Even if they need special drivers for each device, they have solved it. Lineage OS supports tons of devices. How did they get the drivers? that does not matter. But they got it working or the project would be pretty dead. So the drivers problem is solved, now just make a good next-next-next guide.

Sure, Lineage OS does not support all kind of devices. But I think they can still have a common, user-friendly, installer process even though the drivers are different.

I am guessing that they will make a standard for ARM in the future so it will work like any other PC where they can just plug in any random usb device or similar and it just works.

Not sure why that matter. Google manage to run Android on the ARM device and we know Android is open source so just copy that over to the custom build for Lineage OS.

Also why not make a standard to solve it for all OSes? We have ARMv8 as one standard.

Somehow it is possible for both Windows and Linux on PC to get an installation guide with next next next installer click guide. You dont get that on Android ever.

Ideally it should be as easy so anyone could install it that want to. Today it is simply too hard. Alternative rooms dont have chance to be mainstream without that.
