I adore Orgzly on mobile but it's a shame there's no way to have their GUI on desktop. It's a lot more intuitive than Emacs.

If you enable the First-Party Isolation preference in about:config then this is more effective site isolation and is automatic for all sites.

Firefox doesn't force you to update however. I just update & restart it simultaneously whenever I want.

Baby steps. Swapping for a Firefox and LibrrOffice (which also has a web version) is a big improvement in privacy already. By having this all-or-nothing mindset people don't ever take the first steps towards taking privacy seriously.

Everyone who cares about privacy uses Firefox browser for other reasons already so browser was a poor example. There's also Wayland as a replacement for X11, but granted not all applications support it.

I love the look of this. Just make it so it's easy to make full offline backups and I'll be happy to leave hosting and server maintenance to you.

Can anybody who's tried this summarise the differences?

You can have two-in-one by getting a Librem 5 or a PinePhone.

How does Matrix/Riot accomplish this successfully then?

It's also one of the few phones to have hardware baseband isolation - making you immune to IMSI catchers and other cellular-based attacks.

How is this better than Bitwarden?

RE 3: Kernel developers are diametrically opposed to this for good reason. People like the fact that they can install Linux on any old computer and it'll "just work". Linux supporting a stable in-kernel ABI means less drivers

Does it matter what he says his intent was? He can paint whatever story he likes in interviews, but nobody would appreciate a random person going right in their face and beating a drum, especially a young kid. You can even see him flinching

This has been debunked thoroughly. That guy went up to the kids and started beating his drum right in their faces to intimidate them and somehow the media painted the kids as the harasser.

You're leaving out the fact that this eliminates the security mess that is the current DNS system which is so easily compromised by hacker groups and state actors. Blockchain is the perfect protocol for DNS since it's totally tran

Yeah usability-wise it's not the greatest right now until those features get added, but security-wise it's better than Signal/WhatsApp in warning you about detected new keys.

Where was anything about forcing traffic? They just made fake news and criticising the state fineable offences.

Riot/Matrix is gaining some momentum due to having E2E encryption, federation and it's ability to bridge with other chat networks like IRC, Discord, Slack, etc. XMPP failed due to a Linux distro-like approach where each client sup

I like this trend towards e-voting since it seems to be influenced by trends in cutting edge blockchain technology like decentralised autonomous organisations. It means that novel types of national governance may follow from blockchain gove

No, I use LibreOffice which is an open-source solution that has most of the same feature set. I simply don't believe nations should have to use proprietary solutions for something as simple as documents and taxpayers be forced to fund

Why is the EU investing in closed-source software? The server, mobile apps and ProtonMail Bridge are all proprietary. It's not as bad as investing in Microsoft Office but this decision doesn't make sense when they could just as ea

I can tell you right now that traditional specs will be worse, but freedom specs will be better e.g. runs mainline Linux, hardware baseband isolation, kill switches etc.

The majority of the country have been polled and consistently agree with the President that the media is intentionally creating a divide and often lie to the people. Conservatives undoubtedly make up more of that number but both political s

What I don't get is why they are making Chrome mandatory. What happened to web standards? It's not like other Chromium-based browsers or Firefox can't already use Chrome Custom Tabs and run Progressive Web Apps. It seems like
