This is great news. Shipping X11 on a system that doesn’t need it is a big waste.

I hug my friends. I don’t want to snuggle with them.

Is Nostr still just full of crypto bros and Nazis?

Yes, but that’s called UV, not blue. Blue light filter is a thing, and this was not that.

I’ve been using Proton for several years now, and paying for their Mail and VPN features. Proton Mail is definitely better than Gmail, but other than the privacy features, it’s just a basic email service. Their VPN also is just a basic service. If that’s what you need, then by all means, I’ve always had a good experience with them.

That being said, I do run a competing email service called Port87 that (IMHO) has better features for organization and spam protection, so take what I say with the knowledge that I am technically their competitor (although my user base is tiny compared to them). Really, I see them more as an ally against Gmail and MS Exchange, because I’ve never experienced any sort of anti-competitive behavior from them like I have with both Google and Microsoft.

Supporting smaller players in the email space is what keeps email open, so the more people move away from Gmail and Exchange/MS 365, the better.

You mean leaving porous stones in your vagina for a long time can cause damage?

The GOP.

If yours have a yellow tint then at least they actually have a filter. Mine have zero tint whatsoever. (Which is what I want, but they were marketed to me as having blue light filter.)

I don’t think I’ve experienced this. Do you mean some pages not working in Firefox, but working in Chrome? That’s mainly because of parts of web standards that are ambiguous or undefined, and Firefox and Chrome have different behavior. Some web developers (read lazy web developers) don’t test in Firefox, so they write bad code. Both Firefox and Chrome follow the standards, so if web devs just stick to the standards, everything should work.

If it’s a UV filter, they should call it a UV filter, not a blue light filter. If it doesn’t filter blue light, then it’s not a blue light filter.

They literally have no blue light filter in them. It was just marketing snake oil. I don’t even know why they do that. Who would want that in their glasses?

Blue light filter on glasses. When I got my glasses, the lady said they come with blue light filter for free, and I said, “I don’t want that, my job requires that I see colors accurately, so I can’t have any sort of color filter.” She said don’t worry, it doesn’t filter any colors. Ok, then what the fuck is it exactly?

I see at least one pterosaur mixed in with those dinosaurs.

Mostly I’d just do the same thing, but for myself rather than anyone else. I’m almost there, because I started my own company, but I’m still coding to make money rather than coding for fun. It would be great just to write code for fun. Until I’m able to, I’m just working on my email service, Port87. It is really nice to work for myself, at least.

Macintosh System 7. Then I moved to Windows 98, which was the style at the time.

Do you need to proxy?

They asked what the most secure one is, not the most practical. When I said other people wouldn’t communicate with you, I meant because it is very difficult to set up, so I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone. But unless your client and server come from different parties, you’re putting all your trust into one other party (like with Signal), so that’s inherently less secure.

Email, probably. Kind of depends on your needs, and how willing other people are to accommodate them. The most secure messaging platform is email with a third party IMAP client using OpenPGP. That way the client and the server are run by different people, and the encryption is based on a verifiable and well known standard. But will other people use that to communicate with you? Probably not. So probably something like Signal would strike a good balance between privacy and ease of use.

Throwing rocks is really useful too when you never get tired while running. So we’ll chase down an animal for twenty kilometers then pelt it with rocks.

VLC is the best media player, but the Linux kernel is the “supreme of all open source projects”.
