I’d argue dedicating your personality to hating something is much weirder than being a fanboy of it, especially when that thing is a piece of technology nobody is forcing you to use.

And yet Nintendo files bogus copyright claims against emulators.

They didn’t have to reverse engineer the drive API. Proton created an open source library to use their API, which was forked to integrate with Proton-API-Bridge, so that apps could easily use it.

Samsung is garbage IMO, and OnePlus has been getting worse for years. Pixels offer the smoothest experience. Nothing phones are really nice too.

Wdym about the gifs? there should be nothing stopping you from sending those on any device.

Sideloading is possible, but there’s more hoops to jump through than on Android. Plus an overall smaller amount of apps available to sideload.

Piracy depends on what you’re pirating. TV/Movie wise you’ll be fine, as well as ROMs for the few emulators iOS has (relative to android). I doubt you’ll have any luck with apps or mobile games.

I never see people recommend Arch any more. New users should research the distro they should use instead of choosing the distribution they’ve heard of the most.

This is genuinely really cool. I worked IT at a school for a bit, and for anyone who doesn’t know, having a good web filter is extremely important for legal reasons. The people in charge of implementing it can get into a lot of trouble if it’s done improperly, hence why they always seem to block things so aggressively.

All of the current offering are complete garbage, with Lightspeed being the worst offender. An open source alternative could do a lot of good. I hope this kid is successful.

It only supports Bitcoin? Really absurd choice. The demographic of people using Proton services, using cryptocurrency, and only holding Bitcoin has to be pretty damn small…

I really didn’t see anyone asking for this, hopefully it didn’t take too many resources to create. Even though I don’t understand it being made I’ll probably still switch to it, because Exodus feels like it’s getting more and more bloated and annoying to use.

edit: I just realized this wallet only seems to support bitcoin? Why on earth would they do that? Most people holding a significant amount of Bitcoin are storing it in a hardware wallet and rarely transferring it. It sucks to use for actual transactions.

Genuinely wondering, what features are you talking about? Proton has a page for voting for features, and I definitely see highly voted ones get added.

Linux client is the biggest one I’m waiting for, but AFAIK they’ve said it’s planned, and I appreciate the support for Rclone in the meantime.

I don’t think doing this means they aren’t working on their other offerings. Both Drive and Pass have recieved very highly requested features in the past couple weeks.

I don’t think it will hurt them, because I think the majority of Proton users want exactly what you didn’t. There are lots of options for email using your domain, but I don’t know of any cloud suite providers that respect your privacy like Proton does.

Also, I am surprised that with the amount of different plans they offer none do what you wanted well. I thought they had a family plan for just mail without the other services, but they only have a business one and $7 per user is not a great price.

Competition

Im fine with grinding in a lot of games, but I expect Rivals 2 to be multiplayer and competitive first. I don’t think it makes sense to make people have to grind for characters in a game where the main focus will be finding your main and playing online.

Yeah they are, this problem is super overblown. Weirdly I’ve seen articles about this coming up for other apps too, like the ChatGPT app for MacOS storing conversation history in plain text on the device. Weird that this is suddenly a problem.

If someone wants better security, the can use full disk encryption and encrypt their home directory and unlock it on login.

That’s just not true though

I agree, I wish fonts just defaulted to distinguishing between them

Again, the binaries aren’t from questionable sources. From what I can tell they all come from the official source. The problem is them being unsigned, which is a simple oversight that can be made when something is being written by someone who is not security minded. It is alpha software and this is already actively being discussed.

Fair, they’re pretty common but most fonts support OpenType variations which let you change parts of the fonts to other variants. Having a variant with distinct l’s and I’s is pretty common and Inter supports this.

It should just work, distrobox supports graphical apps.

Since OP is using an immutable distro they are likely unable to install some dependencies they need without using a container.
