An alternative is to keep your eggs somewhat separated so that you don't end up in a locked in situation if their services deteriorate over the years, giving you an easier escape in that scenario.
Nice! Just switched to Wayland, and planning on playing around with Godot again this Summer :)
If this passes, could you not self-host an older version of an open source service that does not contain the backdoor (e.g. Matrix) for your closests contacts to circumvent this? Not saying that would be very practical for all communications, but at least for exchanging nudes with your partner? If so, at least there's that, but it would show how useless it is likely to be as anyone actually in the stated target audience could do the same.
Or is there something I'm missing that would prevent it?
What you describe happened in Munich, at least. This is in another state.
And I just discovered this some weeks ago. The "woah there, pardner!" is so cringeworthy.
Konsole. Never had the need to explore alternatives.
My laptop came preinstalled with Linux :)
Thanks! I was trying to implement this, and was trying to figure out how to pass all the arguments! This worked for me! I got some other errors, but they don't seem related to this, so now to find out what they are all about 😅
Agreed. I recently did this (first time making a torrent-file) to transfer a set of 45 min videos to a friend, and will probably prefer this way of doing it in the future.
Having recently set sail again after a more than a decade-long hiatus, I am definitely having a much better experience. All streaming services have been booted, and my TV has been disconnected from the internet. Replaced with a mini-PC running Linux and serving Jellyfin (and Freetube for accessing YouTube ad-free). Still have an active Spotify subscription, but I am already using it a lot less than before. Will be phasing it out as my music collection becomes more complete. Purchased my first albums from Bandcamp recently - first direct purchase of music in over a decade. Bad timing with the Bandcamp acquisition though, hoping it doesn't go tits up, and if so - here's hoping to a good alternative to get proper ownership over DRM-free music while giving me an opportunity to pay and support those musicians I like who are not already filthy rich.
That is what the interface bind is supposed to prevent, or at least that is what I thought it was supposed to prevent. To avoid IP leaks in case of a lost VPN connection. I wonder if I've misunderstood it, or misconfigured it or something else.
You don't have to use all services. I have the Unlimited plan and use mail with custom domains (+ the included SimpleLogin account) and VPN mostly, and Drive for backup (no Linux client yet makes it a no-go for daily use, but I have my own Nextcloud server that serves my purpose fine). Pass I have not tried (I use another manager), and Calendar I also don't use.
I still feel I am getting my money's worth.
