This is great news!

Mint is my choice of weapon when it comes to desktop Linux and I have been eyeing the Framework 13 for quite some time now.

NixOS is exactly what you want.

You declare your configs in a way that you can just copy them to another computer and it willbe configured the same way.

I’ve never tried it my self, but I might for my next machine.

What are some other companies that are also very down to earth and not using every trick in the book to get away with stuff?

I come to think of the Proton foundation, but that’s just because I am a fanboy of theirs.

No, I think you are misunderstanding my poor explanation.

Your emails are encrypted at rest on their server regardless if you use the web client or IMAP through the bridge.

The thing is that the encryption layer must happen at some point in time when you communicate with their API:s. In the web client this encryption is built-in. IMAP on the other hand does not support this type of end to end encryption, so the bridge adds this layer for you.

So you communicate unencrypted locally between your email client (Thunderbird for example) and the Protonmail bridge that you have installed locally on your computer. Then Protonmail bridge encrypts and decrypts all emails for you. So to your email client, it seems like a normal email server, but in reality everything is encrypted.

(Standard “encrypted email” disclaimer: Your emails are not encrypted in transit unless both parties, sending and receiving, are set up for encryption. Email is otherwise not end to end encrypted in transit)

Imap and end to end encryption are not possible at the same time.

Bridge exposes an IMAP interface but encrypts everything as Proton would, had you used the web client.

It solves a technical limitation.

Been using it on my phone and browsers for maybe a year. Works great.

Browser plugin can be a bit shaky at times, but that might just be some side effect from my config of LibreWolf or something else.

Most, if not all, of those hired as a software developers at any of these companies has loads of other jobs they could take. The only thing setting them apart is the size of the paycheck.

For less in-demand skills I get your point though.

I believe money shouldn’t be involved.

Just match sellers and buyers together and let them figure the terms and transaction out themselves.

All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.

Not a simple task, but keep the money out and it will all be easier.

Uncalled for but 10/10 execution

Same. Need iOS support to share with those close to me with iPhones.

Beautiful, thank you very much. Will print and have on desk.

Take any photo from my posts and draw a replica of it!

I don’t understand. What is happening here?

Check out immich as well!

It’s like a pozidrive roundhole without the roundhole

Link to cocktails community please! Love making them, love sipping them!

Because you seem to have networking capabilities

It being a completely open platform means there will definitively be data collection. Some entity will scrape the fediverse for data. It’s free, open and unprotected.

I believe you are fixating on something that won’t have much impact regardless of what choice you make. I have been using “windows keyboards” on Linux for years with literally no problems (related to keyboards and Linux). I mostly game, browse the web and work as a software engineer.

Focus on what feels good physically/ergonomically for you and your workflow and you’ll be golden.

The only caveat I’d throw in there is if your keyboard of choice has some sort of RGB program for Windows or other custom software. It might not be as simple to control that functionality from Linux, but in many cases there are open source Linux alternatives for that software.

I’ve been using iodeOS for about a year soon! Very happy with it :)
