Been looking forward to this one. Might finally be time to switch over. I wish there was a Graphene build for it.

deltachat will leak metadata everywhere

Got a citation for that? Genuinely curious

I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be “self hosted”? When it’s carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?

Love to see the people in here gatekeeping “selfhosting” 🙄

We’re all just out here trying to escape big tech. A docker container doesn’t suddenly stop becoming “selfhosted” once the hard drive it’s on crosses a property line. Who the hell cares, seriously.

Yeah I saw that… not really what I would consider a “web backup” exactly. I was hoping they were rolling out encrypted photo storage plans.

I can’t find anything about the web backups in the article or release notes.

No a pro-piracy argument, but most artists get fractions of a penny from the sales of media anyway. Only the biggest stars are paid a fair share of the profits. I always try to find a way to support directly or use a platform (bandcamp, steam) that adds some value and gives a majority to the creator.

Back up an image the entire operating system HD when it’s working well. If you ever get overwhelmed with bugs you can always go back to a functioning state.

We all like checking out the latest features and updates but it’s important to remember that it’s not a race.

From ArsTechnica:

According to DuckDuckGo, chats on the service are anonymized, with metadata and IP address removed to prevent tracing back to individuals. The company states that chats are not used for AI model training, citing its privacy policy and terms of use.

“We have agreements in place with all model providers to ensure that any saved chats are completely deleted by the providers within 30 days,” says DuckDuckGo, “and that none of the chats made on our platform can be used to train or improve the models.”

So there is some trust involved, but I’m inclined to believe DDG.

Not a mod but from what you’ve said it sounds like your post was satirical, which violates the “on topic” rule.

For what it’s worth, THIS thread violates that rule too.

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for altering what was previously not a restricted feature. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

I agree OP has a right to be upset, but this post has nothing to do with privacy.

There’s no need to get upset. If you truly are having difficulty understanding my feelings on the topic and are asking in good faith, I’ll explain it one more time:

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for it’s services. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

Whatever mine or your feelings on the topic, it has nothing to do with privacy.

It’s empty venting, and the topic is not about privacy in a meaningful capacity, it’s about a business model.

Allowing venting/drama/gossip threads in a community over time will push out the people (like myself) who care about the actual community topic. And when those people are gone what’s left is a cesspit.

Hey mods just saying… I think a lot of us would appreciate having a rule against offtopic posts.

Toyota boot screen! Love it.

Not off the top of my head, but I haven’t used it in a year or two so it’s probably changed a bit since then.

The one feature of Nova I wish Kvaesitso had is swiping on icons can do other things than tapping on them. For example swiping on the wallet icon opens a specific card. Swiping on podcast apps opened audiobook app instead.

You can adjust it in settings up to as many that will fit

Looks a lot like M-Launcher on F-Droid.

I am using Kvaesitso which is great, but not Nova.
