I'm tired but:

  • you'd need to compare the checksums of their web-based cryptography at every login,
  • you could use their bridge but you'd need to give your OpenPGP passphrase to change your settings, for no reason
  • they have the CIA at their administration council,
  • they have an history of unethical behavior toward Twitter survivors,
  • they have an history of spreading conspiracy theories,
  • they have an history of contacting hosting providers asking them to remove blog posts,
  • they didn't share the Lavabit fundraiser so they could get quietly issued a US National Security Letter (overriding the First Amendment and preventing Ladar from appealing),
  • they can access to your entire mailbox anyway, not just to the email contents,
  • this has enabled the arrest of Social and Climatic Justice activists, they replied they couldn't resist a Swiss court order (so that's not their fault I guess, the tech is just bad)…

Why would you trust them for your opsec, and why would you enable them further?

Alternatives include Disroot, Nubo, and Zaclys.

As a CEO you may either attract more contents creators by paying them more or by lowering the quality of your editorial curation. It means you may either risk bankruptcy or knowingly foster depression at a global scale, unless like Mozilla's Pocket you chose to piggyback on a decentralized model and have no skin in the game.

People have brought up Kendrick Lamar but I'm sorry, he's never been recommended by my partner's Spotify account. Not even once.

Some people recommend dual booting. I recommend having at least one cheap SBC in your home that's dedicated to running Linux, and eventually to keep Windows on big enough machines for professional work, video games, and so on.

But the kids? Sure, they should run Linux, unless specified otherwise by their schools, until they're old enough to decide by themselves.

I'd encourage you to push for free software if you're stuck on Windows, but that's another issue, I just think you might keep this machine on Windows and install Linux on a lowtech computer. It depends on what you need Linux for but with my eeePC the only bottleneck is the web.

Coucou, merci pour la ressource !

Malheureusement je n'ai aujourd'hui ni FAI, ni ordinateur ; un camarade m'a dit chercher 1 Gio de SDRAM DDR3 SO-DIMM 204-pins dans ses affaires pour que je puisse installer CROWZ sur mon eeePC à 20 balles.

Je ne suis pas pauvre et j'aurais honte de prétendre le contraire, mais on est à la moitié du mois et je ne peux plus faire de courses jusqu'au mois de mars, je mange chez ma mère.

Donc c'est vraiment une question d'argent, mais sinon merci pour l'info sur YUNOHOST, je devrais faire plus attention à ce logiciel.

Wolfy est disponible dans un navigateur, contrairement aux Loups-Garous en ligne.

Pardon, ce n'est pas une demande d'alternative, je ne me plains pas du site web, je me plains de l'état de l'économie de la création de contenus.

On vivrait sans doute dans une société très différente sans Twitter, entre autres raisons car les standards de publication en ligne seraient plus élevés et car les quelques deux millions de comptes Mastodon mensuels actifs comprendraient et respecteraient la valeur de ce travail.

Mon blog personnel par exemple me coûte 20€/mois, sur un revenu de 900€/mois, et une publication en particulier a fait plus de 1000 vues, et continuait d'être partagée quand mon nom de domaine venait d'expirer. Elle m'avait fait du bien à écrire et elle faisait du bien à mes lectaires. Je n'ai pas reçu un seul don pour maintenir mon infrastructure à flot, donc je suis désolée pour les personnes concernées mais elles attendront que j'aie une IP fixe.

EDIT : ça me met très mal à l'aise mais je n'ai pas le choix, mon blog doit avoir 30% de downtime à ce compte-là -- raison pour laquelle j'exportais mes billets en tant que PDF. Je veux simplement rendre compte du fait que sans adtech, et sans promotion d'une autre activité commerciale, on ne peut pas vivre de la création de contenus.

PS : je me souviens de ce texte d'un blogueur iranien, gracié après six ans de prison, publié en 2015 et traduit par Libération : https://www.liberation.fr/ecrans/2015/07/20/six-ans-apres-internet-se-recroqueville_1351044/

À 175€ le pull c'est assez cher, mais ça peut faire de beaux cadeaux.

(Voir ce site web, d'excellente facture, demander un dépôt de cookies publicitaires car personne ne fera de don avant d'acheter un sac fabriqué en France à 229€ me débecte, je n'ai pas d'autres mots.)

Non, c'est une manière de gérer la charge mentale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_process_theory

Wow, l'intitulé est un peu violent (et revanchard).

I may sound too radical, but I'd go so far as to support a common Logseq knowledge graph.

Hi, this is an excellent answer.

I didn't mean to dismiss online resources, but to highlight the continuous entrepreneurship in dismissing foundational knowledge. My post was honestly, rather bad for the reasons mentioned a few minutes ago, but the sentence “Linux is only free if your time has no value” erases the pleasure of reading books and getting new skills. It literally means that free and open source software can't be more useful than whatever Google and Microsoft are developing, which doesn't even include passwords managers.

Secondly, the difference you make between free and open source software are very interesting but to my understanding, it may boil down to the freedom 0 : free software is made for everyone, whereas open source software is made for specialized communities. Because most people don't even write simple software, and I'm not talking about enterprise-level complexity here, most open source software is written for other developers. I've observed thousands of anonymous messages which coincidentally blurred the difference between free software and open source software by e.g. promoting the sway window manager that we know and love. On 4chan at least, calling people to hurt themselves has become an acronym (to whomever reads this, please don't hurt yourself).

I'm not sure my own definition of free vs. open source software is the right one, but I know the actual difference is leveraged to kill people – comrades even.

And finally, I agree about everything else. I didn't properly develop about GNU software because I was trying to leave my screen.
