  • I don’t fully agree. Mails from companies ( password resets, ads, … ) aren’t necessarily passing by Google/m$ servers. So you’ve got that privacy. If you use an aliasing service ( which they also seem to offer ) then they can’t tie it directly to the same person/email.

    So there definitely is some privacy gain, though if you’re emailing [email protected] and [email protected], the whole conversation is available to that bigtech firm as the email will be sent in plaintext.

    I’d say it’s a step in the right direction.

    I don’t know atomic mail, so I can’t vouch for them. I’m also not able to do proper research on it right now. So maybe somebody else can pitch in on that part.




  • Where is this even coming from? The guy above me is saying not to give devs better hardware and to teach them to code better.

    I followed up with an example of how using indices in a database to boost the performance helped more than throwing more hardware at it.

    This has nothing to do with having worked on old code. Stop trying to pull my comment out of context.

    But yes you’re right. Adding indexes to a database does nothing to solve adding a new feature in the scenario you described. I also never claimed it did.

















  • Libreoffice their latest blogpost is from the 20th of August 2025. There have been a few releases in the past few months as well.

    Openoffice their latest ( Apache Openoffice 4.1.15 ) was released almost 2 years ago ( December 2023 ).

    Libreoffice seems like a more recent, better supported tool over Openoffice which hasn’t seen any updates since 2023 according to their own website.

    I’m on my phone, so I didn’t search extensively. But I think that also plays a role in why there’s a much larger fanbase for libreoffice rather than Openoffice.

    I’ve no recent experience with either so I can’t comment on how well either works.

    Edit: I looked up the wrong one. My statement remains correct w.r.t. Openoffice, but they mentioned Onlyoffice which is a different product.
