I think you are aiming for people that don’t want to learn maintenance work. This means you have to take care of that part.

This means protect the OS from crashing when an app fill up the disk. Security. Upgrade the applications and the OS itself. Perform backup and rollback if something goes wrong. Add/removal off harddisks. Handle hardware failure and inform the user what they need to replace. Migrating to a new server.

How much ram were the native app consuming?

Ctrl + a or crtl + e is start or end of line?

Yes, competition is good.

It is just a problem when the competition is big tech and can ignore everybody else as they get even more money from somewhere else like Azure.

I think the there are better alternatives for backup like kopia and restic. Even seafile. Want protection against ransomware, storage compression, encryption, versioning, sync upon write and block deduplication.

If the law is implemented, I would selfhost my own chat server. I don’t see this as Signal fault.

But everybody can`t selfhost. That is a problem I am struggling with.

I am now sure what I would do about email, I assume it is affected as well?

I tried to switch to podman one year ago but my compose file failed. I use advanced networking where i want all traffic coming from specific source ip, including DNS. When they fix that, then i will switch as i no longer have any container that requires root.

I dont see any problem with AI coding. It can be done without the editor supporting it by just asking for a function like please implement a sort function given a list of numbers.

Proton code is open source, so all AI agents have already read everything. You as user just have to do the code review, fix it and test. I am not seeing any problem here.

What can the users do about it? Maybe it is time to look into more distribution systems instead?

I am glad someone can admit it failed and we have to learn from this. I am just wondering what it takes to succeed.

Why did go back to 9%? They all forgot about that theat or what?

Wow. Impressive. And in Sweden we are only 2% or something like that. Why so many in Norway. How did you do it?

But it is only in the US and not globally. Anyway, competition is good.

Summer 2005. I have the first letters for my name and middle names and then the full last name dot gmail.com. However, nowadays I use my own domain. Since 2008 i got my own domain dot country code but it was for selfhosting. 4 letters dot country code. Only last three years ago i switch to use it for mail as well. I dont host my inbox, just forwards it.

QR codes can help

This is why arches based distos are taking off. They help with picking packages etc to save time.

There are web extension that check for bookmakers that responds with 404 and automatically deletes them.

Many do not run their own email server. It is just too hard. Companies choose Microsoft or Gmail to host email as it is cheap for them or included in something like office 365. Google have admitted that they read users’ email in search for custom advertisement. I would assume the same is true for Microsoft. On the inside we just have to trust them that they don’t make too many copies to foreign power or abuse it in any other way.

On the private side(not companies), Gmail really dominate. Very many don’t even know what selfhosting is and even fewer have the know-how and actually do it for email. People just don’t want that burden of selfhosting, maintenance, work. I would love the world to get more decentralized, use peer to peer, but today everything is more centralized than ever before.

Email should be E2EE, but that is never going to happen without the big players on that train - they just have too huge market share and that would go against their profitability.

You don’t know the exact content of the files. He did not show those vidoeclips. I dont know if you can buy that or not. Sure it can be indication but in general you dont know as it varies between video to video if it is possible to buy.

Emails controlled by the government? No, never. Emails are a decentralized protocol and there is no point what so ever to have the government controlling it. Look, emails are not safe, not encrypted. See all emails as public knowledge. If I go to their website and login to view sensitive information about me, then it is safer. Apps are optional.

If you are talking about Kivra then there are private companies alternatives as well. You as a user pick and choose. Personally I dont use it as I get like one letter per year and would forget to login to it. There are better alternatives for normal letters as well.
