I’m no power user. The VPN client works fine on Ubuntu. For everything else on Ubuntu I use a web browser.

Some of the proton apps are on f-droid.

I don’t disagree, but until I start self hosting, I would rather support the competition.

Yeah I got stoked for the 404 article. Keep up the original posts folks!

I think your perspective and critique is valid and interesting but it can be helpful to assume the best in people, especially when giving a critique.

In my experience, kids (and adults) love the fact that Iceland is greener and Greenland is icier, so it’s not surprising to me that other languages have similar odd names. It’s not surprising to me that some people would have a biased opinion of a place due to an odd name, but like Iceland I expect many know much more about a country than just the name and thus the name doesn’t hold much weight.

This was reported for not being a shower thought. It’s certainly not hard to get a bunch of up votes on Lemmy by saying “ultra rich people bad”, and I agree. At the same time I understand people that want to limit the community to more ‘typical’ shower thoughts, like on r/showerthoughts.

I error on the side of leaving posts up. If there is an objective way to enforce what is or isn’t a shower thought, I’m open to ideas from the community.

The EU population is 450 million people with an average density of 106 people/km2. The US is 350 million at 33 people/km2.

There are probably better metrics than straight density.

^ This was reported for being a troll. I think the reporter is correct. Even the original post is a bit of a troll for the average Lemmy person.

If you choose to reply to this comment, careful not to feed the trolls.

Thanks for posting in shower thoughts.

Rule 2 is that the entire thought must be in the title. Do you think you could edit your post?

Ideally shower thoughts are applicable to lots of people. See the side bar for examples. I guess the idea that the prior year has been bruising, but we made it through, could be generally applicable.

Wow these all sound so much better than Proton’s photo backup. In the words of @mhzawadi@lemmy.horwood.cloud , it’s pants.

This is something I’m very curious about. It seems like a really necessary utility in the future.

A way for people to validate other people but not totally blow away all privacy. Large group chats, email providers, etc already try to solve it. It would be cool to see some powerful open source tooling. Like what Signal is to E2E encrypted chats.

Creative

Canadian thanksgiving is best thanksgiving

c/dataisbeautiful :P

I had no idea the share was so large.

That’s a creative way to do it

I think pigs and bears are pretty closely related.

Liberapay is really nice. I like the payment options they have to minimize the fees, like making 2 years of small “monthly” payments in a single charge to your bank card.

Rule 2 is a little gray but if the title reads like a catchy headline, then it’s probably not a complete thought. Another way to think about it, the title should make you want to read more because it’s a good thought, not because it a cliff hanger.

OP, would you mind updating the title with a little more context?

For example if you added “because they are providing training data” to the title. It would seem more like a complete thought to me.

I try to be objective where I can but all of the rules have gray area so I try to err on the side of not taking things down. Little nudges from the community, like your comment here, help to shape the community so thanks for being an engaged member!

I see there are many variations of this joke.

I have a CR-10s that I bought used. I asked the seller to ensure that it worked before I bought it. Most of my problems I had with the printer are due to me trying to make it print faster. If I had just downloaded Cura and used the default profiles it would have served me well.

Learning how to level a bed is probably the most significant skill you will need. It’s not too hard.
