Ubuntu isn’t a good choice, since Canonical is essentially the Microsoft of the Linux world. Suse makes sense, though. NixOS would be good, too, since you could scale your deployments.

Telorand@reddthat.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Paper Age [Small file to encrypted QR-code]7·3 months agoNeat idea. Reminds me of microdots.
Telorand@reddthat.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•US cuts funding to F-Droid, Tor Browser, Let's Encrypt and Tails Linux85·3 months agoThis is not an example of leopards eating someone’s face. Unless those projects threw their support behind Trump’s admin, and I have no reason to believe they did, this is simply falling victim to fascist idiots.
Telorand@reddthat.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Thunderbird Launches Open Source Services to Rival Gmail and Office3651·3 months agoI understand that, but what they do with user data is governed by their Privacy Policy, which again, is unchanged. The ads they buy are the same Sponsored ones that show up on blank tabs—the ones that have been there since before they made that change.
They made the change to the ToS, because a California law expanded the definition of “sale/sell” beyond what most people understand the word to mean. There’s enough vaguery in the wording of the law that the way Firefox works, it could land Mozilla in hot water the way the ToS were worded. It’s stupid, Mozilla did probably the worst job possible communicating why they were making the change, and the internet freaked out.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t leave. That’s up to you. I’ve been running LibreWolf since then, because a company that has $37M in investments and pays their CEO $8M should have the means to have a decent marketing team, one that could warn them it would be stupid to abruptly cut out a section on selling user data. However, it’s simply not true that they’ve suddenly joined ranks with the likes of Google.
Again, do what you want, but I hope people do it because they’ve been informed about the facts, not because the internet brought out the pitchforks again.
Telorand@reddthat.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Thunderbird Launches Open Source Services to Rival Gmail and Office365115·3 months agoThat’s fine. Do what you want. I’m not here to judge your choices, just point out that Mozilla only fucked up the communication, not the policy itself.
Telorand@reddthat.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Thunderbird Launches Open Source Services to Rival Gmail and Office3653·3 months agoRight? I just do my best to ignore the bot and only enter queries any first year CS student would know. The rest comes from my memory and a few bookmarks I have saved.
Telorand@reddthat.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Thunderbird Launches Open Source Services to Rival Gmail and Office36512·3 months agoThus far, the local models I’ve worked with have gotten a C- on coding, but an A+ on bullshit.
I work at a company that won’t allow us to use a search engine but has a local model we’re allowed to use, and this is a pretty apt summary.
Telorand@reddthat.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Thunderbird Launches Open Source Services to Rival Gmail and Office365293·3 months agoIf you’re referring to that fuckup with the ToS or whatever, that’s not what they’ve started doing. You can verify this by their Privacy Policy, which hasn’t changed in almost a year.
But if you are pointing to other examples, I’m open to learning.
As will I, but those look like legit release notes and not a joke. Nothing jumps out as too good to be true or just bizarre.
I always liked KeeWeb as an alternative front end for KeePass.
Make your own using metal clay!
I never had the opportunity to work with it when I was a smith, but it’s supposed to be pretty easy to work with.

Telorand@reddthat.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Information thread for a Canadian living in the US1·4 months agoThat’s literally the same site I posted.

Timeline of Project 2025 goals so far. There’s plenty of P2025 breakdowns on YouTube, and I recommend checking out at least one.
An aunt used to make these lamb cakes for Easter. They always looked fantastic with the frosting and coconut, but they were surprisingly dense, and they tasted like they were made with lamb fat or something instead of butter.
I am food adventurous and will eat just about anything, but inedible doesn’t begin to describe these cakes, and she had no clue they were terrible, so she kept making them for years.
Telorand@reddthat.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Monthly update on the FOSS "Ladybird" browser engine2·4 months agoI thought it constituted a full engine, curious on your take.
Two reasons:
- It is often a last consideration for web devs. If I had a dollar for every time WebKit broke just at my work…
- I don’t like Apple, so since it’s my dumb comparison, they get demerits for being a stupid walled garden that’s hard to leave.
It’s mostly that last one for me. It’s indeed a valid engine, but my understanding is that it’s not particularly great to work with. Either way, you can just take my comment as a thinly veiled dig at Apple.
Telorand@reddthat.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Thunderbird "won't be adopting the firefox terms of use"6·4 months agoFrom what I understand, usage stats are anonymized, and you can opt out of telemetry. But as I personally move to more hardened and private ways to connect, I’m moving to LibreWolf to err on the side of caution.
It all feels like flying too close to the sun for my taste. I don’t like the idea of normalizing policies that aren’t cut and dry and easy to understand. Have a legal version and a version for dumb people like me if needed, but don’t expect me to play lawyer and connect the dots.
Teasing. Could also be a form of flirting. It really depends upon context.
