@itsfoss got my wife away from Windows and into Fedora Gnome. The end.

@FartsWithAnAccent @ylai @Veraxus Asus has been enshitifying for a couple of years now. I used to get their ROG phones year after year, until they sent me the last one without the Kunai cover (I bought the phone with the controller) and when I reached out to them they wanted me to send the whole thing back, phone and all, to determine if they would send it back with the cover to me. Beyond ridiculous. Returned it, got a refund, never looked back.

@FartsWithAnAccent @ylai @Veraxus yeah. Them and Netgear are 2 companies I used to love and now I wouldn't use their products if they paid me to use them.

@TCB13 @inasaba not entirely accurate. CalyxOS, but albeit following a different process, also allows for degoogling and relocking the bootloader.

@Tutanota Librewolf with my own instance of SearX. Tuta and Proton for mail. Yubico and Aegis for MFA. Self-hosted Joplin for notes (can't imagine living without that, and still trying to figure out how I did before I knew about it).

Messaging over session only, and Molly for what few Normies I haven't been able to convert (Signal).

@itsfoss this needs to happen, and the sooner the better. We've been "nurturing" 40 years old tech with x11, pushing it for something it was not designed to do. Now that maintainers are staring to move exclusively to the new stuff, we should see expedited improvements.

@oxjox @scrubbles I have a question. When you say they "grandfathered" you into Pro+, do you mean they accepted you to upgrade to the Pro+ tier for that one-time payment, "for life"? I am genuinely unaware of the meaning because English in not my native language and some phrases do escape my grasp sometimes.

@variants I live in Dominican Republic, where we have 4 seasons like everywhere else: Hot, Hotter, Hottest and Hell.

My Unraid drives are usually at 33 Celsius, and have seen them at a top temperature of 36 when checking Partity (once per month). It has been like that for almost 4 years now.

This is a place in my house that can see an ambient temperature of 32 at night when the AC is off. Never had an issue.

You'll be just fine.

Those cloud providers should move to Hyper-V or even VirtualBox or something similar.

I guess I should be glad, because, even if not most users, a lot are now researching open source alternatives to all this havoc.

Maybe I'm too poor to understand the train of thought of multi-billion dollars C-suites?

Have tweaked the adverts on the website, as the ones between articles were ridiculous and Google kept overwriting the sizing restriction placed on it, even after following their own guide <_<

Should be much nicer now.

linuxjj ,

@gamingonlinux that is VERY fair. Everyone needs money in this world, and the fact that you are willing to do away with the more annoying parts of ads speaks volumes of you.
The information you provide day in and day out saves a lot of us the hassle of looking stuff up, you deserve getting paid.
It's funny how people are willing to subscribe to useless crap, but won't fork over way less than that cost to individuals like you.
Good luck, God bless you and it'll all work out.

Microsoft respecting “user freedom”, haaaahahaha

From Tim Sweeney of Epic Games: "Congratulations to Microsoft on a well-deserved honor. From Bill Gates to Steve Ballmer to Satya Nadella, they have a 50-year track record of supporting and empowering developers to do great work, while respecting developer and user freedom. A sharp contrast to Apple and Google." Replying to a post noting Microsoft has overtaken Apple as the world's most valuable company.

    Ok, so I asked you to give me all the questions you had for . I collected all of that, and asked all I could I fit in an 1h30 hour long interview with Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton.

    He talked features, business model, support, , security, and everything in between, and here is the full interview:

    @thelinuxEXP @protonmail @protonvpn Awesome interview. Very rarely do I find interviews that are actually focused on what I need to know, and this was one of them. I don't think I've seen you interview anyone before, you did a seriously great job. After the full interview I decided to take the jump and try Proton again. It's much better than a year ago, still lacking on some things, but otherwise, very solid.
