I have an old gmail that I can’t quite get rid of yet, one company address for one of my jobs and one disroot that I use for everything else. I just added 3 accounts in Claws Mail and it gives a pretty good UX

Clever

What a nonsensical comparison

They aren’t even made of ham ffs

This is a great effort! There’s just one thing that I think you really should correct/clarify, In the chapter on firefox:

The browser is free and open source, highly customisable, blocks cookies & trackers

Firefox doesn’t “block cookies”. The default settings block “cross-site tracking cookies” and “cross-site cookies in private windows”, while the “Strict” setting blocks “Cross-site cookies in all windows”. Cookies themselves are not a privacy concern (and blocking them would break a huge proportion of websites)

Element is open source

This is awesome

I’m a native english speaker and I didn’t know that word :o

the reality is a lot of the audience this person is likely trying to reach already has discord installed

People interested in a complete outsider OS are using discord?

My guess is the people interested in this type of project are the ones using IRC and email for everything.

Uh… what?

So I understand the type signature she’s asking for is Iter<Result<T, E>> -> Result<Iter<T>, Iter<E>>

This suggestion could really use some use case examples. It sounds sufficiently obscure to me that I wouldn’t complain about having to write my own a function for this

Also, where does the name evert come from?

you can easily configure a Linux system to be like this

I sympathize with his pain, but some of the solutions he mentions are very bad and unnecessary. The proper solution is to simply stop treating the issue tracker as a todo list for the maintainer; treat it as a todo list for the community. Automatically closing issues is harmful: https://drewdevault.com/2021/10/26/stalebot.html

Sorry, just rereading this thread and realized you never recommended Signal so you are right

This is the first time where I actually agree with the authoritarian

He shut down LibreSignal: https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issuecomment-217211165

While the Signal software itself is free software, my understanding is he trademarked the name Signal so you can’t fork it without rebranding it (similar to what Mozilla does with Firefox and Rust), and if you rebrand he forbids you from using the OWS servers.

I’m confused about this. Are these surviving because Moxie didn’t know about them, or because he changed his stance on alt clients?

Micro!

I would hope it helps keep out the authoritarians, just like how Lemmy’s slur filter helps keep out the conservatives

That article they link under “badness enumeration” is hilariously bad. I felt compelled to write a rebuttal.

I doubt there is a way to use debit or credit cards while limiting the amount of information about your life your bank can see. I am in the same camp though, using a debt card for almost everything (and even shopping online) for convenience even though I know it sacrifices privacy.
