Are you referring to their newsletter? I just set a spam filtering rule to automatically discard those. Also can you elaborate more on it being hard to cancel your subscription? I can do it very easily.

I do have my own list of complaints about Tuta, but so far they are the best I’ve found

or the app app lol. Tuta has apps on all platforms.

Not sure if it will help at all but if she’s your senator you can give her a piece of your mind here

I’m such a leech :( stupid ISP data cap. I’ll make it up someday

And let’s be real here, most people don’t need anything more than a web browser.

You would think. Surprisingly, i only know of one non techy person in my life for whom this was the case, and even they ended up needing to use some statistics software for school after switching to linux. Luckily, they were able to get it through a school-provided VM.

People have all kinds of needs and those needs can change over time. For people who are deaf in one ear, there is no easy way to set the audio output to mono. That’s just one way that accessibility features are lacking. I know people who rely on apps like notability syncing their mac laptop to their ipad, which no app on linux can do. I know people who have specialized software for work such as VPN apps that simply do not exist on linux. I know people who do creative work for whom it would be a major learning curve at the very least to switch. It only takes one app or crucial feature to lock you out. Even I have to dual boot from time to time for firmware updates or to play games my friends want to play that aren’t on Linux.

But you better believe I’m tracking all of these issues so I can switch people over as soon as they’re implemented ;)

For those of us with GrapheneOS, you could maybe set up a different user profile solely for travel? Hopefully they wouldn’t look closely enough to see that it’s not the real one

Honestly I think potentially a bigger factor is that there are very few manufacturers who sell machines with linux preinstalled. Very few people have ever installed an OS before or have any desire to do so.

Also there is plenty of software with no real linux alternative even today unfortunately.

Sure, but the point of the video is that the email requirement is not that big a deal for most people

Proton will often if not always require an email or phone number for verification when signing up for a free account. It’s not hard to find people complaining about this on forums.

Do you know any alternative to forgetful browsing? Basically the only thing keeping me. Just so much more convenient always-on incognito mode.

Also the fact that I can just turn off all the stuff that makes them money.

Also I don’t expect manifest v2 support on ungoogled chromium to be reliable.

Edit: just remembered this exists: https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete. Currently trying it out with ironfox.

Edit2: Apparently LibreWolf has this button to add websites to the exclusion list for cookie deletion on exit if you click the lock button

you know what else slows down ambulances? Congestion

I live near a school. Cars go way too fast and blast through intersections. Impeding the flow of car traffic is exactly what we need. I’d rather not require the ambulance in the first place.

If making people feel safer walking and biking in cities = “worthless shit” to you then why are you even here? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been honked at or yelled at or nearly run over while walking or on my bike by drivers who refuse to stop at red lights at all because of the right on red rule.

Cars don’t belong in cities at all, with the possible exception of delivery/commercial vehicles and vehicles for disabled people. Banning right on red is just one part of a multi-pronged approach to get us there, together with better bicycle infrastructure and public transit, etc.

I’ll also add that while Fairphone markets that they suoport their phones for many years, the firmware of the Qualcomm SoC it ships with stops receiving updates after only a couple years. Your phone will not be secure after this point. Read more here:

I don’t think it’s really true that AA has been “trying” to build housing for 20 years and not gaining ground. I was at a talk the other day where they said in 2016, they predicted that in order to meet Ann Arbor’s housing needs, they would need to build at least 140 new units of housing each year for many years. Since 2016, a whopping 50 units have been built. That’s kind of pitiful.
