I disagree with you however I find it attrocious than when you upgrade (exemple from ZorinOS 16 to 17) if you own a Pro licence you have to buy a new licence (with a discount) and can’t “downgrade” to non-Pro (except from reinstalling it from scratch). I think the way the Pro is sold shouldn’t put upgrade behind a paywall.
Selling a (bloated) Pro version to bring cash isn’t necesseraly cancer it really depend on what you get and how you’re treated. And with ZorinOS I was somewhat disapointed…
ZorinOS or the recent AnduinOS can be very Windows like with modernish windows sex appeal as you call it.
Edit: If a gamer you could add Nobara with its own theme or bazzite with KDE.
Do you know that using most P2P messenger you still rely on multiple ISP and big tech owned communication wire in order for your message to get delivered, even if there is no central server ?
What did you tweaked to achieve that ? I only had crashs with joycons when I tried to use two of them as seperate controllers but still don’t know why.
I never experienced such a thing on GNU/Linux after connecting a DualSense controller. However I had to update the firmware of the controller using a Windows PC (as I don’t own a PS5 myself), I am pretty sure your could easily install the firmware-updater app using Bottles (wine).
Hope this will help.
End-to-end encryption have been designed so that a “middleman” such as Signal can’t read your conversation. Signal goes even further by encrypting metadata protecting other information such as who you’re talking too and at what time (some technical and targeted attack could however determined these).
In asymetrical cryptography we tend to assume that what we call middleman is a third-party placed between the two peers during the public key exchanges (such as handshake). Signal is indeed a middleman on the infrastructure level but the software has been designed to protect you from middlemen having access to the raw, unencrypted data.
That say if you don’t verify your peer’s public key it’s not impossible that someone has done a man-in-the-middle attack and that you’re sending message to him and he’s rerouting them to your peer, etc… However this is unrealistic for the average person.
So even if it’s not a p2p infrastructure but some centralized servers we can assume that there is no middleman thanks to e2ee.
No but it’s e2ee.
Isn’t it a prequel ?
I can see a future where big YouTube conten creators taking some independance and start monetizing a peertube instance with a real infrastructure and not just a cheap VPS. Maybe I am utopist.
I would at least take SATA SSD nowadays as it’s pretty cheap but honestly I can’t see myself go back to SATA after having enjoyed M.2 SSDs for years now.
If you want 8TB of storage I can see why HDD would be great but for 2TB or less SSD are accessible if not cheap.
I should have read the article in more details and being focus thanks for the correction ^^’
People prefer to trust stupid bots instead of trained human… These apps are great but you shouldn’t rely on a bot for analyzing mushroom that you wanna eat.
Edit : Read the article in a hurry and didn’t get the full story my bad
I tried it but they market themselves as Open Source and when I started digging I was like ehhhh… no thanks and I uninstall the app.
It’s not FOSS, it is somewhat open source but the licence is too restrictive to be Free(dom) Software
Well I agree with you that Lightning isn’t a magical piece of innovation that will scale Bitcoin to the masses. However you can use it p2p. There is no lie here. Is it easy to setup ? Is it easy to maintain ? Not really it’s not hard but it’s a entry barrier for sure.

If you wan’t to use FOSS I get it, I want to. But when it comes to professionnal workflow you sometimes have to put your ego on the side. When I tried to ditch the Adobe Suite, the Free(dom) alternatives didn’t worked for me or the proprietary alternatives were simply better.
Inkscape is great but Affinity Designer is superior in many regards and even it is inferior to Adobe Illustrator. GIMP and Krita are awesome tools, honestly GIMP3 makes me want to play more with it and Krita is an awesome digital painting software, one of the best out there. But for photo editing Affinity Photo is still better for my workflow even if I still prefer to use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
The new redesign of Scribus in unstable is exciting but I don’t see myself using it for professionnal work. Affinity Publisher is just better and yes again Adobe InDesign is still superior.
I’ve almost fully ditched Adobe (with the exception of Photoshop), I often try Free and Open Source alternatives and while some are good enough none can compare to Adobe who is leading the industry by the way, that’s the sad truth as of today.
Here is a list of alternative to Adobe I’ve made : https://alternativeto.net/lists/25812/softwares-for-content-creators-that-don-t-want-to-supports-adobe-monopole-/
Edit : grammar and typos
Are you doing profesionnal art/design work for a living ?
scary.
