I find what they are offering interesting. But I myself use Thunderbird on my pc, spark on my phone, to get the emails from Gmail and yahoo mail.

Skiff isn’t compatible with imap, and from what they are saying, is because it’s an encrypted service, and using imap would require to unencrypt them.


It can be compared and added to the argument of an European country which proposes to scan all photos sent to detect if it contains illegal children photos.

However, to do so, is a huge privacy issue, and as the ai has a very high risk to not work as expected, a lot of false positives could be sent to be reviewed by a person.


It’d the nvidia x panel or whatever. It’s pretty empty compared to windows.



That is because recent laptops don’t “sleep” like before with s4 (hybernate) or other sx.

They have some sort of tucking clock waiting for windows to wake up to check for updates.

In theory it allows to keep everything up to date while people are not working.

However un proactice, it drains battery and overheats laptops, because Microsoft implemented that feature like crap, or the partners did some stupid things.

It was supposed to only activate when the laptop was plugged in. However if the laptop was plugged in, put on sleep, then unplugged, windows still believed that the laptop was plugged in.

Now I don’t know if windows ever solved that issue after people brought it up and Linus from Linus tech tips complained to Microsoft.


Because it doesn’t show the conspiracy theory enhancing the authors conspiracy anti-covid/anti-moon landing opinion :

meaning you will never find the truth about the moon landing or COVID vaccines there even if the query asks for exactly that. What you will find - though - is a bunch of irrelevant “fact check” or “science loving” sites, or ones shitting on “conspiracy theorists”.


Wtf. Didn’t even have to go too far. Here in the brave section

WTF is wrong with this person.

This “article” is about spreading search engine for people doing “their own research” and making the US look stupid on TV or something.

I am for no “censorship”, however sometimes it is needed, because as for the example of the vaccines or moonlanding, people may je mislead, then search s* online and get a trash conspiracy article which enhances that stupid opinion. In this case there needs to be a way to spread good information.


I don’t know if that loophole may work. But if it does, it may work only for a time until a consumer association escalates that to the European court of justice.


Here is a video comparing Nobara and Fedora. Not sure if it would be very helpful, but it may show what Nobara is changing. https://youtu.be/5eKSQT5mV-c

Also 3 months ago, so maybe some elements have changed slightly.


On Linux you’re not stuck on a single theme. On gnome there is a plethora of extensions allowing to move the task bar as you want. Display the apps on it or not… And plenty more customization.

Gnome has however limited a lot the theming of the desktop (window color, border…). And now it’s a bit clunky to install themes other than the default ones.

KDE has more customizations and settings, so much that it could be overwhelming at first.

There are also some differences with the file manager. I prefer Nautilus from Gnome (you can still install it on kde, tho it won’t have the same look as the other apps).

And the KDE disk manager may as well be trash in my hands. I can’t even setup a mount at boot without getting errors. So I just install Gnome Disks as I find it pretty easy to use.

on Linux if you have multiple partitions, and you want to set a shortcut to a secondary partition, you need to mount the partition (activate it). In Linux a partition is like a folder. It is mounted to a folder.


You can’t rely install that. There can be microg (not sure if it’s in the distributed rom), but there is no system integration with microg, so G apps cannot work. Neither a lot of apps based on play services.

Microg however offers a modified LineageOs rom where they have installed the system integration for micro G. On that rom, the G apps and apps requiring G services do work.

Maybe it could be a bit more privacy friendly than using the direct Google services, but it still connects to Google to get some services for some apps.


The best fasle advertising on privacy/security rather?

Their goal is blocking any other advertising method so only they can collect and use the data of their users for advertising.

Security? They can (or could) be hacked, with a backdoor, just with an invisible message…

So most of their reputation is just marketing (which goes pretty near to false advertising ex : the your data stays on your device… Which is just false).

Tho they may have a reputation of refusing to give data to public organizations (or at least depending on the data).
