I would say fire, flood and no tap water for three days.

Those are the most probable things that people are not ready for and should be. If you leave in a city near a river, chances are high that the general population (you included) underestimate vastly the risk of flooding. I learnt it this year with the heavy rains in my area.

He talks about it in this video (the video this thread is about)

Two mains reasons:

Attracting investors

Attracting talented workers by signaling they are doing technical research

Also, people working in the industry might not even use those products. They want a cool job not a cool product

I talk to people who knows people I know. That way I can get a recommendation for a job offer and know at what job offers I might have chances

What’s wrong with trustcafe?

LinkedIn. Needed to find a job in my domain. Also people often talk about their posts. It makes people really happy when I like a post they talked about to me. When I don’t have a job daily.

Tweeter for some very specific events. Something like two weeks a year

Hacker news when I do not have anything to do at work. I say to myself that it is to stay up to date and sometimes I can find nice blogs. I would say something like once a month.

I self host a nextcloud service on my old desktop that serves as a server but every now and then the updates crash something. Sharing calendar and notes is too complicated if you don’t have a vps or a domain.

Self hosting is a pain imo. You can pay a small cloud provider with nextcloud. There is a middle ground between big tech and self hosting.

Hahaha, this is hilarious and actually pretty cheap

Did not know Rockbox, definitely will check it.

AIGO Eros Q or K (also sold as the HIFI WALKER H2, Surfans F20, or AGPTek H3).

Are they all the same ?

I am not in the US. I don’t like to buy second hand smartphone in my country. It is either overpriced or straight up junk, be it in the local equivalent of craiglist or in specialized store. However, It is the solution I would prefer if I can get a spare phone from someone I know (given or bought). But I have not been lucky yet. Most people I know use their phone untill they stop working or there is no sd card.

I like the idea. As it is already funded, i will wait for review to order it

Sadly ipod cannot read flac. It is possible to convert to apple lossless file format

Thanks ! I will check all that :)

I would also do that but sadly I do not have any spare phone and my phone has no sd card slot

Great ! Thank you !

Thank you. It is good to know that webcam is not important when picking a laptop for work. I will look at external ones.

Proton does have open-source bridges/proxies, so they aren’t hiding these details from us

The issue I talked about was not privacy-wise. It just suck to have to use a package that is not in debian repository just to receive commercial emails. Updates are a pain. And it is the kind of software that people should keep up-to-date.

Proton emails are stored in an encrypted form that goes beyond the simple authentication that is part of the POP/IMAP specifications

Ok, let’s talk about privacy. Email will never be secure because it was not designed to be and there are too many issues.

The subject line and other metadata are not encrypted. (from protonmail website). Most of the people use email to register to accounts and for commercial communications, where all valuables informations are in the object of the email.

There are more private way to communicate with people (like xmpp or matrix for example)

We kill people based on metadata. Well metadata encryption are pretty important.

So giving up convenience for 0 security sucks.

Perhaps Thunderbird could be enhanced to support the Proton features directly?

It would be great if there were an add-on for it. If someone knows how to develop it, please do it, it would improve UX a lot.

But it does not solve the issue completely. On mobile, the issue is still there (I know they have an app but I would prefer to have all my email at the same place). Also, if I want to use nextcloud mail, you have to developp an addon for nextcloud now.

Edit: changed the link for the alternative piped link suggested.

No.

Their email service is bad. Why do I need a proton software to use thunderbird ? Why don’t you use open standards for email ?

Lol no. Are you going to audit all the code you use ? You need to trust some organizations to make the audit. You NEED to trust some entities
