Depends in what field. Proton, at least, doesn’t scan your email contents and metadata to sell it on to advertisers.

Hi. So, not all of the software you use will work on Linux (which btw isn’t a company but to put it simply a family of open source operating systems sharing a common core):

• Affinity don’t offer a Linux version so you will need to try something like WINE to run the Windows versions.

• Blender will defo work, not sure about the others

• Davinci will work, has a Linux version

• VSCode has a Linux version

• File explorers work.

Ubuntu sadly is not what it was.

I’d suggest Pop_OS or Fedora- I think Fedora used to have a media oriented “Fedora Design Suite” version.

And here was I thinking locking up a murderer is for the protection of the public…

Well? Did it work?

Now you put it that way… 😃

That’s pretty cool, I didn’t know!

That’s great, I had no idea!

Slightly wondering whether this is a roundabout way of creating Ad-Free YouTube playback capabilities. “Hey community, we are adding support for ad enabled streams. Would be a shame if you hated that so much you wrote some ad blocking plugins.”

Battery replacement will also boost your CPU performance, it’s worth spending a bit of money on it.

Running PopOS on a 2012 Macbook Air and Fedora on a 2015 Macbook Pro.

Potential common pitfall used to be having to add the Broadcom wifi drivers separately - I had to add them manually for PopOS but Fedora worked out of the box. Honestly PopOS + Wayland totally saved the old little Air and it’s a fantastic machine to use.

You may have to start using some free third-party tools for built-in features that work on the Mac.

I replaced iCloud keychain with BitWarden for password management. You can use Beeper for iMessage - it’s one of the few things to actually support it. iCloud Drive can be accessed via rclone I think but it might be terminal only - mind if you can get it to work via terminal then you can mount it as a folder. You can use Cider as an Apple Music client. I haven’t yet looked into Calendar and Contacts sync with iCloud but you can always export those and import in your software of choice on Linux.

Overall, Huawei’s main aim with the HarmonyOS NEXT is to offer a privacy-focused operating system optimized for a smooth user experience. With it, the company will also become free from the US technologies it relied on for the operating system of Huawei smartphones.

Sweet Clyde Dixon! Laugh derisively ar him!

I mean it even harvests typing data and Outlook also includes calendars etc… It’s really bad.

But yes, I just suggested a re-evaluation of the use of Microsoft Outlook to my company …

Depends on your sector of work. Imagine you’re a therapist or a lawyer…

There will be simple conversion kits available I should hope.

Sounds… “impartial.” Thank you for the context, explains it.

Flagged on HN. Awaiting verification whether the claims are true I guess?

Some 20 years ago when I was first introduced to it they said “it’s secure because hardly anyone writes malware for it”. Which was always a stupid argument.

Disappearing content and things like internet outages every now and then all make the case for offline accessible content. I often muse whether I should keep an emergency offline copy of Paw Patrol and Thomas the Tank Engine episodes for the kids, for the time our connection cuts out with our unreliable ISP.
