@[email protected] don't forget the CL:OUD Act either - that has serious privacy implications for countries outside the USA

@[email protected] I have some RSS feeds but everything is read right now I'm not sure if these are all full text content: https://itsfoss.com/rss/ https://www.linuxtoday.com/feed/ https://opensource.com/feed https://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/rss.xml

I use Full Text RSS to pull in the full content into FreshRSS

@[email protected] like their content, but pity it is only really headers. There is no full text content.

@[email protected] I went with Proton and the reason was either that I could import and use my own PGP key, or because it had more general compatibility with other mail services using PGP (well possibly both those reasons). So I could send encrypted mails to Thunderbird users as well as GMail users (who had a PGP encryption extension).

@[email protected] wow OK that is worrying me a bit now. I just moved to Hetzner about 3 months back. As far as I've seen, mine has stayed online OK - it's a VPS though, so maybe not affected then as it is not dedicated server hardware. I moved to them as they really seemed to offer more bang for less bucks versus my previous two server hosting providers.

@[email protected] my notes are in Obsidian with Syncthing syncing, but my productivity and todo management has been in paid TickTick the last year. On average I have about 100 - 110 open tasks at any time. Many are monthly, quarterly, annual or longer repeating tasks like licence renewals, weather station maintenance, etc.

My tasks are all grouped into home maintenance, my mom's stuff, medical related, radio related, server related, etc. Most have dates set with reminders, and many also have sub-tasks to be completed. I keep detailed notes in each on progress etc.

They sync across my Android phone, iPad, Linux desktop. It's a bit of work bit brings piece of mind as I don't worry about forgetting to do stuff.

TickTick was my best choice based on about 7 criteria I compared for my needs. Unfortunately, Google Tasks and others I tried were just not working for me as I needed multidimensional views. I like that I can snooze tasks from any device, or drag and drop to a new date, etc.

@[email protected] pretty difficult as there are no accurate figures for Linux distro installs - many sit behind home or corporate firewalls, sharing the same IP addresses.

But back in 2015 Dell was claiming that 42% of their PC sales in China had their Kylin OS installed - https://www.scmp.com/tech/china-tech/article/1857948/chinese-os-last-more-40-cent-dell-pcs-china-now-running-homegrown. Kylin has been improving for 23 years now so is a pretty stable Linux OS too I guess.

@[email protected] why wouldn't I just rather change channels on Manjaro if I wanted it earlier. Changing distro's really seems a bit extreme and going to cause other config issues. I still use X11 as my daily driver so quite happy to wait another two or three weeks until Manjaro has finished ironing it out.

@[email protected] on Manjaro KDE with Nvidia proprietary drivers mine works 100% on X11, but with Wayland I still get random freezes of about 40 secs to a minute. It's better than it was a year back when it would not boot into Wayland at all. I understand this issue is affecting some using the Nvidia proprietary driver and supposedly may be resolved with KDE v6, but I'm still waiting for the KDE v6 to hit stable release.

@[email protected] I've not heard of anyone who does "not like" it? Many don't know about it maybe. I can't think of anything I've seen against it as it ticks most of the boxes for excellent privacy and has been very usable for me.
