I hope Valve will improve regional availability in the future

Thanks for the thought process it’s really helpful and also reassuring since it’s quite similar to mine and yeah. Secureblue definitely sounds cool but I’m afraid it would not fit my dad’s need. In the end it’s gonna be up to whether I and my father can trust the maintainers or not

this is the first time knowing the Qubes OS. and upon researching on wikipedia, it’s meant to be used with multiple OSes for different tasks…? wow

First time hearing about Secureblue. And it sounds great. Though their motivation is quite welcome to see, I’m unsure if it will be actively maintained for a long time. It’s quite young project.

Yup. At this point, I’d just want to run Linux like normal on modern MacBook. Man my m1 MacBook Air is still a beast and with all good hardware.

I wonder if it still needs account management on Mozilla server or on your own. May I?

I’m sad too. But I think it’s quite logical given people that use Mastodon probably already know or heard of proton. Marketing is particularly effective for people that don’t know of them (at least while they are small)

Same lol. Can’t be that catastrophic. Right? …. Right?

Agreed. Do I expect my mom to manually plug in the usb flash? She ain’t have slightest idea of what a file is. Same goes for Nextcloud everything and Syncthing. Setup and done is Immich. The lead dev of Immich explicitly mention his motivation was to make it easy to backup and share pics with his wife and child.

I suggest Matrix if I could choose.

I know right. “All important stuff -> emails” has to change.

I think this is one viable solution to me (not for other normal people).

But again, with my own domain, I’m basically announcing my presence all over the services I sign up to because I’m no longer a part of the mass of Gmail, iCloud etc. users. I fear this will expose myself even worse in case of personal info breaches. And buying multiple domain is not cheap.

Yeah. I agree they will definitely go with proprietary solution. I would much prefer something like Matrix adopted. But that has to be blow up in popularity to replace emails…

These days, I feel like the underlying problem with these kind of stuff is priority for the phone maker is on the feature that make them money while us, consumers, priority is on a basic functions working 100%of the time.

Yeah. My point being in terms of AI use, there aren’t really differences between lemmy and Reddit since the data is public. I don’t even see the point why this topic is relevant to privacy.

I wonder what’s different on lemmy though. At the end of the day, this platform is just another platform on the internet which almost anybody have access to. Sure AI use is not on the ToS. But anything open access is assumed to be privacy unfriendly anyway. If it’s the dm feature, it’s a different story.

Thank you! Great info. After some reading, I went with Rescuezilla which is yet another GUI for Clonezilla. I might give the foxclone next time!

Thanks guys. I went with Rescuezilla in the end. So far so good.

Thank you for the insight. Changes are incremental I suppose. You are correct that it’s more efficient. But I kind of want to back up the whole disk since I can keep a bootable drive with it right?

First time hearing of this. Any particular reasons?
