Proton is very clear that e2e is only between Proton accounts. They do have a way to encrypt when going outside the ecosystem, but I haven’t explored it because nobody I know would do it, nor cares about privacy. Even now.

This more often happen in companies owned by private equity. They don’t have to report anything to anybody or worry about shareholder revolts.

I find I can rarely get a word in on discussions because other people jump in the instant I open my mouth. After a while, I just walk away, and probably they think I am a jerk, ironically.

As a person with ADHD, who does this frequently, I can attest that it is more of a processing delay coupled with an autonomous communication thread than psychopathy.

By the time my cortex processed the input, the verbal center already responded thinking there was incomplete input. I figure the problem is mostly due to ADHD.

When they decide to get rid of you, no amount of output will satisfy them. Everything you do will be micromanaged and if it looks like you will still meet the unreasonable deadlines, they tell you that you have to do it differently and also throw some other work at you.

Then they will criticize your inability to get the work done, and fire you.

Good luck with that.

It no longer requires a phone number.

Huh, this is the first I heard of this. So, Thunar rune in English. Nifty.

Seems a bit odd to me, but I understand the idea.

OTOH, using this in typed correspondence would actualally make it harder to type for native English speakers as we’d have to insert special characters. This would require either a mouse menu interaction or a Unicode entry and a program that can translate that to the right glyph.

Jmp.chat is definitely a plug-in replacement for Google voice, but it is not free. It does not work as well in low coverage zones, but you can set up your own server to host chat, video for privacy. When I was using it, there was no multinumber price bundling.

It has bridges for many services like sms, pbx, matrix. It is a Canadian business. You can set up voice mail, so missed calls due to no coverage can be captured. Per minute rates are quite good and you get a couple hours free per month. They take bitcoin.

It is open source. Just remove that code, build, use F-Droid.

I see a mass migration to LineageOS, Graphene, Calyx in the very near future.

I’m reading this while at the localctavern bar having a chicken wrap. My ability to make a meal depends on what I have on hand and whether I feel I can take the time to make it.

When I succeed, it is becausevi gave myself plenty of time where I did not feel pressured to get things done, cleared my mind, and chose some recepies I want to make. Then I get the groceries and ‘just do it’. That last part is hit and miss z but it is glorious when I can do it.

Oh, I feel this pain, acutely. You wrote too much for most of your audience to read through, but what I did not read, I skimmed well enough.

I started using Joplin some months ago, and am having a similar problem with note overload (where did I put that note?).

I am now trying out the PARA method, and have high hopes it will mitigate (not solve) the problem. Search it up, it might help.

I don’t put much faith into these charts. They are usually someone’s opinion.

Given that, I started with Slackware in 95 with the intension of learning Unix-like OS. I think I went from newbie to pro quickly, then switched to Ubuntu years later because I decided I didn’t have time to micro-manage my OS anymore. I tried a few others first, like Open Suse.

This is especially painful during interviews for jobs. I sure I lost potential offers right here at the beginning of the interview.

As much as I dislike the muskrat, is this fiber actually real?

You literally questioned its existence, why are you confused?

Now, everything else you said I either knew, or agree with the assertion.

Btw, I’m definitely not young.

I got fiber last year. It halved my bill and quadrupled my throughput. It’s real, and since then another vendor arrived and is competing with the one i have. This is hiw it is supposed to work.

Nope. It’s hate driven authoritarianism using Capitalism as a weapon.

The visuals are priceless. Screaming, agonized pears flying from building to building with California raisins singing in flight amongst them. I think i just found a reason to play with AI video generation!
