They've redefined privacy to be privacy from everyone except themselves, and then indoctrinated people that they are the most privacy conscious company.

It might be a good idea to do the exact opposite I.e. make a OSS whitelist. It will be much easier to maintain given the scale of applications/services/products.

Is their app open source?

Tried this out. Was disappointed with the fact that it uses browser cache to store data, which becomes near impossible when you have a large library. A solution with a db stored on disk would greatly be appreciated.

They open source all of their clients (when not in beta). They maintain multiple open source cryptographic libraries, in multiple languages, which a lot of developers and companies go on to use. They have a yearly fundraiser for open source and digital rights groups, which they contribute a $100,000 to each year.

Just because their server code is not open source, doesn't mean they don't support open source. It's not an all or nothing situation. Binary thinking and classification is a very dangerous and naïve way to look at things.

Fedora is a good choice for this use case and I would recommend it for the use case of the Linux ecosystem.

If you're referring to page 5, that compares 2021 to 2022. A huge proportion of the world still had travel restrictions due to covid in 2021, whereas in 2022, almost none did.

I had a lot of false starts with having to upload and tag >3000 documents initially. Finally made the leap and did it in December. I now use it regularly, but am still getting used to the new dynamic, but that's a transitional thing. Overall, enjoy it and look forward to more features!

The mobile app is a separate project, and is meant as a companion app rather than full fledged, which I understand. Though, it is still lacking.

Proton's server code is not Open Source because it contains filter and anti spam detection which if released, would severely hamper their ability to detect spam and keep their users safe + detect abuse for their service.

Proton has had extensive security audits done and their claims have been backed up by independent third parties.

The definition should be further modified to include legitimate reasons for not open sourcing some code + having audits to back up claims.

Has there been official communication from Signal that they won't?

For software I'd recommend using Frigate for ally the processing and then integrating it with Home Assistant.

How does it compare with flatseal?

Also, software becoming distributable in a uniform way. Though here, I strongly would advocate for flatpak.

Cool. I guess I'll have to reconsider the current Pixel tablet again then - without the dock though, don't think that's worth it. Thanks!

Do you have the dock too? Is that at all helpful?

Have been using Fedora for a year now. Had used Pop OS for about 6months before that.

Fedora Workstation 38. Dual boot Windows on a separate drive, but this is solely for gaming. I know gaming on Linux has gotten better, but I want the best experience, which is much easier on Windows.
