Valid question. After reading his opinions, why would anyone follow his mastodon?

If he’s a good YouTuber, it’s like following a footballer who has shit opinions. I’ll watch you play football, but screw following your nonsense stream of consciousness.

I don’t use perforce, but if you do a fresh check out to a new location, what state is in currently in? Does it open and play? That will be the current state in version control.

Oh I know. It is your call. I’ve not seen much evidence of tutanova/proton Lemmy adverts. This service is quite new in comparison and there is clearly some astroturfing on lemmy. We don’t know how good or bad they are tbh. The fact they are pushing it rather than relying on word of mouth is a little sketchy.

Whether it is deleted or not, I’ll at least call out advertising so people are aware rather than being led to believe it is recommended.

We don’t know what it is, but there is history on Lemmy of them listing out every feature, asking I’d anyone used it as they didn’t. Why woupd anyone do that? More blatant in the past, but worth being on guard against them.

Plus advertising e2e encrypted emaill which is impossible unless recipient is same service.

Probably an ad, but much more subtle if so. The old ones were so blatant. :)

What makes you do it with a smile? What does it give you that proton or tutanota doesn’t?

If you’re not keen on web DRM, might be worth considering Firefox. The less chromium users, the easier it is to stop companies implementing this.

Nothing has exactly the same experience as MS. I don’t think there is a clone project for it.

The two you listed are your best options.

Does LibreOffice have any issues that prevent you using it? If not, it’s probably that your expectations are set by your comfort and familiarity with Office and that is the problem you need to solve.

The board knew who he was and his history before they hired him. They still hired him. They wanted and supported this but it blew up and he’s the fall guy for this change.

Until the board changes, I don’t think I care much for Unity at all.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s a dick, but I cannot imagine he’s the only one.

Those that truly dislike MS and telemetry won’t.

If I’m using non-free it is Jet Brains.

I tend to use Kate, KDevelop.

MS still slurping code into Copilot from Github and telemetry in VSCode.

And the telling thing is that the share holders are keeping him in post. They either don’t have a long term interest in the business, or support him, and even if he goes, the rot is still there. The larger shareholders should be seriously reflecting on how is on the board and applying significant pressure to change that if they care about the long term of the company.

Well, I don’t really want to install Facebook spyware on my phone. Signal was made by the guy that designed the encryption used on top apps (if they haven’t circumvented that to spy on you yet).

If one of their relatives had cancer, it would be belittling that experience. I would not do that unless I wanted to be a dick.

Try to give a name and model. An interesting privacy suggestion on a non privacy respecting website means folk are forced to click it.

But the companies chosen for login is a slap in the face of anyone who cares about privacy.

If it is e2e encrypted, why would this change mitigate what they are concerned about?

That is a massive disappointment. Hopefully Element gets their video calls sorted. Why can I not just have privacy tools that I can use? Why are the good ones taken away?

Ah, so IBM are in control of Red Hat.

I think it seems the timescale to pretend you aren’t going to change anything is 2-5 years.

Don’t expect anything from these big corps, just fork (if you really must), and move on.

It absolutely used to suck performance wise since I used an S4 for about 2 years. Since then, it’s been great. As someone who used to dislike the performance, and now loves it, even over chromium stuff, I can safely suggest your oversimplified opinion is without any real basis. Sucks is such a vague word, and I guess it stops you having to detail and rationalise your personal opinion.

It’s always been great on the desktop.

For default search.

I’m sure you’re aware Firefox isn’t in the search market. They are in the browser market and need to fund browser development. They’ve used Yahoo in the past and will go with whatever deal gives the best value. They could go with Bing if they wanted.

Funding from them does not mean control, and your insinuation is misleading and false.

If you start posting, people will join in as they no longer feel the community is dead. Just takes people to make the first move. It’s a bit like starting a fire. A bit of work at first, but once alight, you can throw the occasional log on the fire.

“we do not process email content to serve ads” looks very specific. We don’t process emails to serve you ads. It doesn’t say they don’t process ads to understand better what is relevent to you. It is also a very specific word, serve. Serving means displaying, but it doesn’t necessarily mean profiling or targetting.

Ads are shown based on: “ads that were selected to be the most useful and relevant for you”. So, they’re saying they don’t directly do that, but it doesn’t cover indirect processing that would feed into this.

These people are very clever, and hire very clever lawyers that could easily demonstrate this in a court, so they could use that information and still meet the requirements of the policy.

Considering the astounding level of information gained from Android that feeds into their tech, it would be quite naive to believe they’ve ring fenced email as something they don’t touch. Google still serve very relevant content to people that don’t use search and don’t stay logged into email. I cannot imagine it’s a fluke. Email is a very expensive game to be in when you’re insinuating that all they want is to be an identity provider to assist in tracking web interactions.
