Proton Annual Survey: Gentle reminder to kindly ask for a Linux Client for Drive, now.
  • If you use the config file generator from the Proton website, you can have a Wiregard config tailor-made to load in NetworkManager for instance. Or several with or without NAT, different exits and so on.

    I don't know how this isn't widely known, it's been there for a while.

  • Proton Annual Survey: Gentle reminder to kindly ask for a Linux Client for Drive, now.
  • I am a full Proton paying customer too. At the time of signup, a Drive Linux client was supposedly next in line... There's zero mention of it now. I need a VPN IRL and wasn't keen on relying on a free plan where I was used to pay for one anyway. Aaaand I planned to move my emails of course since it's in the bundle.

    I'd gladly uplift people and advocate for progress on the privacy and security fronts, invite world+dog to join but I can't do it now in this situation. Linux users being underserved is how I feel.

    Mandatory "I use Arch BTW" mention.

  • That Boss guy says it there, Linux customership is negligible. I was happy to switch to an ethical ecosystem, but at the end of the day Proton is a company that runs for profit.

    Nevermind that this specific Linux customership is exponentially sensitive to privacy and security next to the average windows user, our money still doesn't matter.

    It's... annoying. Drive is relegated to weekly Dead Stupid Backups while Dropbox gives me real filesharing, VPN is highly unstable next to my former.. dare I mention it? Yes: next to NkrdVPN which was ultra reliable anywhere I went, and Mail is only used for the passmail obfuscation since I don't think I'll stay with proton and didn't switch my main mail to it.

    I'd be curious to know if the userbase of proton products reflects that of general statistics of OS'es repartition.

  • Reconcile these two axioms:

    1. Every Lemmy out there is using (arch) linux exclusively, both at home and at work

    2. Every post on c/linux is about ditching windows very soon and choosing the best linux distribution

    That's a Nobel Prize in (creative) mathematics right here!

  • Up/Down speed is my feeling, but "negotiations" between client and server too.

  • I never had the VPN app to work, I use the config file generator then set it up in NetworkMamager - which at least work all the time.

    piped.video The CEO of PROTON answers YOUR questions! Drive, Linux support, Photos, features, and a lot more!

    Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton (Mail, Drive, VPN, Pass...) answered a lot of the questions you, the community, asked, in an interview that covers basically ever...

    The CEO of PROTON answers YOUR questions! Drive, Linux support, Photos, features, and a lot more!

    The link right here goes to 40:02 of Proton' boss on the TLE channel about Linux support, where a Drive Client is deemed so difficult to achieve that they don't even have a roadmap for it. Nor is the word "Linux" featured anywhere on proton's pages about Drive.

    coughdropboxcough

    If I believe what I see on Lemmy, 99% of users here are on Linux, and the 1% remaining probably are just waiting on a Drive Linux Client to make the switch, right? Right?

    Please take the survey and maybe mention politely our deep sorrow and profound distress.

    What drew you to the high seas?
  • Funny story the other way around: the year is 2002 and I live in Laos. Bootlegs Everything Galore, all movies games music cost $1 or about. I discover a game, and then begins a quest to buy The Real Version because it's a small studio and I really like it all, the storytelling, the modding tools, the community... A quest that would end up in Bangkok looking like the proverbial insane foreigner looking for the most stupid way to spend his money.

    I found it eventually, in a shop that didn't look any different among all its brothers in Pantip Plaza. Took me a while lol.

  • Web publishers brace for carnage as Google adds AI answers
  • You can also ask it when is the cutoff date of their database - there is a gentleman's agreement between providers not to have ai involved in news / current politics in it's public chats.

    I tried them on a topic I'm pretty proficient on, (a spaghetti recipe lol) and the answer was the most bland imaginable.

    The way it is setup by DDG, the restrictions and blandness, shallowness of the replies give me peace of.mind when a 'natural language' query is the easiest one. And Claude wouldn't give me the DOB of that queen because it is Personal Info!

  • What is the cost of privacy?
  • I may loose some answers in searches since I only use DDG

    I often do not read articles or information from websites if the gdpr popup isn't solvable in a click but the site ask to click on a thousand toggles

    Where I am at the moment, the lack of FB marketplace sucks

    A lot of cultural info goes through Instagram here, so I have to be a bit proactive if I want to know what's happening

    I use signal or text when possible, but work is impossible without whatsapp

  • Web publishers brace for carnage as Google adds AI answers
  • DDG has it's non-track version online since a bit now. Use the !ai bang to get to it

    Also you have the choice of Claude insted of ChatGPT, and your queries aren't harvested for further ai training

    In any case, it's a completely different tab, it's not mingled in general search results

  • Wait, it's all Linux?
  • I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Ponyos, is in fact, GNU/Ponyos, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Ponyos. Ponyos is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, that version of GNU which quite nobody uses today is called Ponyos, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Ponyos, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Ponyos is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Ponyos is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Ponyos added, or GNU/Ponyos.

  • An early one, a 7 with the smaller engine I believe (the difference is in the rims). If I'm right this puts this picture as pre-ww2 because the 7 was very quickly replaced/followed by the 10 and 15. Numbers are “fiscal horses", the amount of taxes to pay being relative to the size and power of the engine.

    Feature Request: Browse entire instance

    Hi, and thanks for the hard work.

    Sometimes I discover an instance a bit specific, like the jlai.lu one who's centered around French speaking communities. Rather than going to the info page of the instance and then either check and click communities listed, or selecting "browse as guest", I would love to have a " browse instance" button like we can for a single community.

    It would improve discovery and engagement I think, allow for a wider reach across servers.

    What do you think, kuro_neko@lemmy.ca ?

    M&M's on a bench... Mark

    Hey Enthusiasts.

    I'm being having my arm more or less twisted to force me to buy a macbook. Granted, with brands like lenovo shutting down on urp and arch Linux these days having a list of show-stopping issues longer than your phone's scrolling ability, uh, why not. Meh tho.

    Local corner shop still has 'pro in M1pro/16GB ram or M2"basic"/8GB ram for not unaffordable prices. Single Core benchmarks puts the M2 at maybe 10% better than M1pro, but Multicore and "Metal" (???) says M1pro is better than M2 basic, sometimes by a lot (geekbench).

    I don't understand benchmarking, especially with such variation in results.

    I need a machine able to play 12 tracks of 16bits .wav files + some effects (Ardour) and / or output video in 1080p on 2 outputs + some gimmickery (Isadora). Or you know, run qlab like everybody else, with fades and envelopes and stuff.

    Which one should I buy?

    Using ProtonMail with a custom, previous imap-capable domain: what happens to the original inbox?

    Transitioning to PM (and generally speaking, to Proton For Everything) from Gmail, I was following the manual when I realised that PM wanted to replace my privately-owned, with mailbox service included, mail address.

    What I've been doing for 15 years was hide a gmail adress behind my own domain name (quality of apps, quantity of storage, general user friendliness...); people would still see me as me@me.me, but I had the convenience of that google service while writing"as" me@me.

    It also offered me a layer of safety, since downtime does happen, and hopping to the poor roundcube webmail interface of my hosting company allowed me to keep business as usual. Believe it or not, google has failed more often than that regional service provider. lol.

    Now to the question: Am I right to understand PM will dutifully catch all emails to me@me.me, the DNS settings will kill my old-school IMAP mailbox to push them towards me@proton.me, and I will have to commit to trust Proton 99.95% (their current SLA for customers like me)?

    Will I loose that last line of defense, Roundcube Webmail straight from my private provider?

    Thanks is advance. For obvious reasons, I'm not on twitter, reddit & all that.
