@Tutanota I was on ProtonMail before this and it has similar standards for security and privacy so I couldn't make up my mind at first. I decided to switch because 'all clients are open source' and 'it uses renewable energy'. Another huge reason was that you provided a complete desktop client and not a 'bridge'.
@douginamug Yes. That's right. Ubuntu dropped the Unity DE back in 18.04 LTS release. However, @popey 'upgraded' his pre-existing Ubuntu 14.04 installation on the ThinkPad to Ubuntu 20.04. It wasn't a 'clean install'. Hence, he still has the Unity DE.
I just got to know yesterday that Apple has finally taken their Apple Music web app out of beta. Finally! Linux users who use Apple Music won't get a sub par experience. Hopefully, I'll be soon seeing the 'lyrics' function on it as well. ๐

@RandomPhoton @sneak @purism That would be great! ๐
@JoshStrobl I don't intend any disrespect but that makes me a little uneasy, especially after Ikey left the team a while back. I hope @SolusProject@mastodon.cloud won't disappear into thin air. However, I guess you proved yourselves when you kept the project alive in that stressful time. Hence, my fears are probably unfounded. ๐ช #PowerToSolus
@mark@metalhead.club I had read about it somewhere but I can't remember now. If I am not mistaken, the modem and the BT modules do contain proprietary firmware. That is why an emphasis is placed on their modularity. However, I heard that they will be working on this in future versions of the Librem 5.
Well done, @Tutanota! However, there is one error. You said that it 'can only be accessed by one single person: You'. (This is wrong since the recipient can also read it.) I agree it is a triviality but I just pointed it out for the sake of technicality. ๐ While I applaud your unique approach to encrypting emails, have you been audited by an independent security firm?
@JoshStrobl @Raxa@framapiaf.org I really like that Purism removed the 'timelines' for Librem Social. It lets you focus on the content of the people you follow. I get the 'trending' information when I use the search function by the way.
@JoshStrobl Is your 'enhanced tracking protection' set to 'strict' too?
@JoshStrobl Oh.... Yeah! I prefer Firefox too. For me, I like it because it is much more secure than most. Do you use the Facebook container too? I don't really have a use for that extension since I am not on Facebook. ๐
@JoshStrobl Actually, you should go and give a TED talk. ๐ I could really learn a few things from you. By the way, what is your primary web browser?
@JoshStrobl Will you be continuing to work for @SolusProject@mastodon.cloud in the foreseeable future?
@streambits Nice! ๐
@popey What's your network speed like?
@Tutanota Awesome! It's great to see that you take a lot of effort to protect both your users and their recipients from being scammed. Keep it up! ๐
