@kev @cooper I’m pretty happy with ProtonMail and a custom domain. Gives me all the privacy I need from a private email server and their team of security experts take care of all the server maintenance. A nice email interface too (their new one still in beta that is).

@freddy exactly what I was looking for! Was confident the fediverse would be able to guide the way. 🙂

@amolith A great analogy. I would only add that the author needs to talk care with their throw as the reader can’t necessarily catch a ball ‘whatever way it is thrown.’

@freemo @Liberonscien most interesting. Particularly that the blue and yellow respond to the treatment more effectively than the red. Would also be interested to see how it goes with non-primary colours and patterns. Certain the image selected is one which lends itself well to the experiment.

@mike I’d also add a vote for ProtonVPN.

Day 100 of #100DaysToOffload and I have completed the challenge! Loved the ride, but looking forward to the next chapter of Muse & Reason. My thanks to @kev for initiating the challenge. A great project and one I can commend to anyone wanting to improve their writing. https://robert.winter.ink/100-days-of-muse-reason/

@jonah the delusion of celebrity. With so many people ‘listening’ to you, this naturally means you have something of substance to say. No matter the topic.

@freemo collective nouns are generally only used incidentally theses days and then generally as a pleonasm. A board of directors, faculty of academics or congregation of worshippers. So likely yes, you are the only one. Apart from Henry Watson Fowler. 🙃

@kev @freddy thank you very much! Always nice to make a hall of fame. 🙂Thank you Freddy for still remembering my humble contribution. And thank you Kev, for initiating the challenge and for your great articles; without which my site (and especially the sites theme) would not be what it is.

A stimulating and detailed analysis of privacy on the Apple App Store. Although the offenders in the list of top 25 apps that collect and link data to the user for non-app functionality purposes comes as no surprise; the scope and scale still amazes me...https://hugotunius.se/2021/01/03/an-analysis-of-privacy-on-the-app-store.html

@kev @yarmo @koreymoffett +1 for me too. The Thinkpad is such a road warrior. And while refurbished tech is always a bit hit and miss, the Thinkpad is so rock solid it fairs better than most other devices.

@mike thanks for the share. Not a distro with which I was familiar, but one that I will be looking at in the future. How suitable would it be as a daily driver for a intermediate computer user?

@mike Nice! I have always been interested in Arch, but there is also a limit to my knowledge and desire to tinker. For some things, such as my OS, I like very user friendly. Which is why I opted for Pop_OS! But might give this a whirl when I have some spare time.

@kev @jamie very much in agreement. Also the lack of e2EE also troubles me as my preference is hosted solutions to save me the headaches of maintaining my own infrastructure (as in hardware). So to risk the potential of having all and sundry who has access my rack space as an admin also potentially viewing my personal data (health records, legal documents etc.) that I store in a file service keeps me using Tresorit.

@Naughtylus @kev they say society has taken a dark turn when reality is more satirical than satire. That so many ‘marketing led’ websites have an alarming resemblance to userinyerface suggests we are in dark times indeed...
