@Tutanota I would like to applaud for the great job you did at protecting the privacy and security of each of your users, even under the threat of imprisonment. Well done! You have truly earned your place as one of the best private and secure email providers! 👏🏽
@nipos @libreoffice @ijatz_La_Hojita While I too love Arch and Arch-based distros, recommending it to new users is generally not a great idea. Arch Linux itself, especially, is pretty 'hands on'. Besides, changing your distro just to get the latest release of some software you like is somewhat outdated and inconvenient. It is much easier to install and manage something like a Flatpak, Snap or an AppImage.
@Tutanota Do you support debit cards as a payment method? I get an error when I tried with my one.
@ijatz_La_Hojita @libreoffice Linux Mint and other 'fixed point' distros won't give you the latest release of software like LibreOffice to avoid breaking any dependencies. If you want the latest release, just go to the Software Manager and install the 'Flatpak' version of LibreOffice.
@Tutanota I love that banner or something with the Tutanota logo on it! 👍🏽

@BlackWinnerYoshi @blacklight447 @bazurk@mastodon.social @Tutanota There is a project called 'ungoogled-chromium'. Even Brave is a good option if you are going that way. However, I strongly recommend going with a non-Chromium browser. Otherwise, we are still supporting Google's ecosystem and monopoly. Please check out GNOME Web if you aren't interested in Firefox.
@bazurk@mastodon.social @blacklight447 @BlackWinnerYoshi @Tutanota Why not try GNOME Web, then? It seems to be getting better and better. More importantly, it isn't based on Chromium. While I can understand why some people may not want to use Firefox, I don't think using Chromium and it's derivatives are an ideal solution. While Mozilla may have its flaws, I doubt Google fares any better.

@searoso This will likely not happen. Imagine having all of your Signal and WhatsApp messages stored in plain text on some server.... It kind of defeats the purpose of end-to-end encryption. Doesn't it? 🤔

@testman @Linux4Everyone @ubuntu It beats me.... I am also glad that this is happening and I hope this trend continues. What makes me even more happy is that Lenovo, as an OEM, seems to be not only just 'providing Linux' but also actively supporting the FOSS community as a whole. I do hope that more companies follow this example. Until then, I think we in the Linux and FOSS community have our work cut out for us.
@citizenK4te@norden.social @Tutanota Ich habe Searx schon einmal ausprobiert und es ist nicht gerade 'benutzerfreundlich'. Viele Leute beschweren sich darüber, dass selbst Suchmaschinen wie DuckDuckGo nicht gerade einfach zu bedienen sind. Ich bezweifle, dass sie mit Searx und Metager zufrieden wären. Wenn wir zu sehr versuchen, sie dazu zu drängen, etwas zu benutzen, das ihnen nicht gefällt, ist es viel wahrscheinlicher, dass sie ihre Privatsphäre aufgeben und bei dem bleiben, was sie wissen.
@citizenK4te@norden.social @Tutanota Ich bin einverstanden. Einige der Empfehlungen machen keinen Sinn. Was Tutanota jedoch zu erreichen versucht, ist, den Benutzern Optionen anzubieten, die es ihnen ermöglichen, mehr Privatsphäre und Sicherheit zu haben, ohne auf viel Komfort verzichten zu müssen. Obwohl der Artikel etwas überarbeitet werden muss, macht Tutanota dies ansonsten ziemlich gut.
@Linux4Everyone You didn't mention Star Lab's other laptop, the Star Lite Mk III, which actually costs less than $400. It has some quite decent specs too.
