Imagine how much further we could be if Microsoft didn't spend all that money subverting open source efforts, and spending infinite money to create a new generation of crippled developers.

Just like when you start Windows for the first time, and get asked to sign in or register a Microsoft Online account to continue.

Google provided an open source operating system, web browser and built a container solution used by every major cloud provider.

Well, you can use their OS, which has for years tried to undermine the free and open source communities, but you have to pay for it. And you have to agree for them to spy on you. And you're poor?? That is okay, just give up more of you

Yeah... I think both are applicable, but if you really want something done then you do it yourself or pay someone to help do it, especially for open source. It sounds like have a descent idea of where to start. I'd go find some kernel

Have you created it, cause if not then that might explain why what you want in detail doesn't exist.

rclone works really well, and even supports Team Drives.

Agreed, Keybase is kicking it up a notch and gotta love me some GnuPG!

The CEO of Dropbox is listed as a founder of FWD.us: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FWD.us#Keystone_XL_oil_pipelin... I agree that Google contributes to undermining online privacy, but I still don't see Dropbox doi

In a lot of ways making the world a better place is about cost-effectiveness, and honestly what is Dropbox doing? Are they the main contributor to Nextcloud? Yeah, Google isn't much better in that regard, but I can buy a descent $199 u

Descent client yes, but honestly pretty terrible once you compare features. Versioning counts against storage, speed can be slow, questionable company...

Dropbox never worked on Linux for me. It was buggy and maxed out my CPU. They didn't even provide proper changelogs at the time.. not sure if they do now? Is their application open source? Rclone works with Google Drive just fine, and

Look into GSuite and see what else you get, in addition to archiving support for Google Drive... and actually, GSuite is unlimited storage... sorry Dropbox, but you lose in terms of price and features.
76.
by braderhart 9y ago
I don't. Google provides way more for a lot less money. You can encrypt your own content on either providers. For GSuite you get literally almost every service you can imagine, include a phone number that you can make unlimited calls t

Agreed. Thought they would be great at first, but their client uses way too much memory, especially in Linux. Their support was lacking. They don't (or didn't) provide changelogs. I finally switched to rclone and am using Google D

When it is your job to hide your financial activities, then no not really.

YES!

Or you could help work on an open source technical solution so that this ridiculous corruptible process is fixed.

I'm inclined to believe many of these reports are biased and still pushing agendas, even if it is out of peoples on lack of understanding of how a blockchain solution would actually work. Largely, their inability to think creatively ab

Still probably 100x more secure the paper ballots counted by an easily corruptible social process, than a mathematical equation that is auditable by the entire world.

by braderhart 9y ago
Haha.. I don't buy into it either. Something is fishy about the story, or maybe this is a secret plea deal with a behind the scenes type negotiation process to trick other conspirators into providing more evidence.

If drug dealers on Tor are smart enough to use GPG to encrypt communications and files, then it does sort of surprise me that these multi-millionaire mafia-type elitist with connections to Russian cybercriminal oligarchs, can't get bas

What are you even talking about? People on Hacker News should be pushing for blockchain voting. You are on a tech news site, where you can post in real-time, but we are supposed to "trust" a corrupt political institution to have p

Well, you had to admit that with auto-complete, it is pretty cool to just type a couple letters and tab your way to heaven. Have you tried Rofi? There are some descent themes, but in all honesty the terminal is great. It is a text-based dyn

Haha... right now I have my desktop that I can show, which isn't perfect but I have an idea of where I want to go and how to get there (mostly). I am still running i3 for compatibility, but definitely moving towards Sway. I've see

by braderhart 9y ago
What do you consider some reasons then? I really don't recommend running a Windows or Mac VM simply for compatibility, because then you lose out on a bunch of perks, but you can. I mean you can use something that is free and the source

by braderhart 9y ago
I agree. I am working on an Arch distro (may roll my own for containers) that includes secure decentralized storage and configuration by default, and a federated marketplace for sharing your own local and server resources.

I'll take an open source client and changelogs with each release please.
