kdeltachat - DeltaChat desktop client built with Kirigami
  • I am not alone wanting to see screenshots of softwares before even installing them. If you refuse to provide screenshots because someone is not saying please, expect many will not try your DeltaChat client. Over and out.

  • Thunderbird's New Rust Integration: The Future of Email Clients?
  • And when was "last time"? :) I have been using F-Droid for FairEmail since I tried the email client for the first time few years ago and I have never got any issues. Just updated FairEmail while writing this comment. Works just fine :)

  • Thunderbird's New Rust Integration: The Future of Email Clients?
  • Different people, different taste.

    I love FairEmail because of its "millions" of settings and the privacy features, for an example if you press a link, you'll get a popup with options (for an example, what app you want to open the link with). And if the link contains trackers, FairEmail will remove these by default and saying "tracking parameters removed" with yellow text in bold.

    K-9 Mail feels incomplete in comparison. Have you tried FairEmail?

  • Discord to start showing ads in the coming week after resisting for almost a decade
    • Your IP address should always be private even if it is good with IP bans. But IP bans do not fix the issue if it is not a static IP address that the users always has.
    • Exactly :)
    • Yepp! But they do log it anyway. So the question is why do the log this data? To build a better service? Might be, yes, but it would be much better if they let their users to choose if they want to share this information. Not log it automatically behind their backs (many do not read privacy policies).
    • I understand that, but they should not force users to enter their phone number. They should instead come up with another solution like require more CAPTCHA's. Phone numbers is "the best" solution, but should not be standard.

    • Nope. Not everywhere.
    • The actual data is stored in plain text. The hard drive is encrypted. This is called encryption at-rest which Discord uses. Even Google uses this for Google Drive. Hackers "can't" access the data, but the people working there can. It doesn't matter if they have fancy roles, your personal data can be access by the people at the company. Your personal data should always stay personal.
    • No cookies. Stored on their servers.
    • I was forced to enter my phone number before I got as privacy aware as I am today. I doubt that has changed.

    • Your IP address will be logged as soon as you login.
    • They store everything you send in plain text on an encrypted storage unit.
    • They store if your microphone and/or camera is on or off + more of what settings you have made in your own device.
    • They force you to give them your phone number in order to identify you.

    Discord is a privacy nightmare, but not as much as for an example Spotify. Spotify even logs how you hold your device and how fast you move it! Source: https://www.spotify.com/uk/legal/privacy-policy/

  • The sidepanel in Thunar v4.18.8 is complete rubbish!

    !

    No favourites and different heights of the objects. And if I expand airikr in the sidepanel, all folders in that folder will be listed. It's like the developers of Thunar wanted to make Thunar a clone of Windows Explorer or something. I hate it!

    This happened few months ago after an update. On the laptop, I have version 4.18.7 and there's the sidepanel completely normal.

    !

    How do I fix this piece of garbage? By downgrading? How?

    I've been using the default file manager for Linux Mint Cinnamon (as far as I remember it is), Nemo. It's okay, but I do miss Thunar for several reasons.
