I leaned to the Thinkpad X1 Carbon initially but then bought the T480s (i5, 16 GB/24 GB later, 1 TB). Works nicely (so far;)). The XPS 13 is certainly a nice machine also.

Because Pascal. And as Pascal was used as a teaching language, I don't think your 'make code harder to read and harder to write' argument holds. But certainly nowadays 'end's are not seen often; maybe this has an in

Bought a Thinkpad (T480s) as a replacement for the (great) 2013 MBA and it's running nicely so far, good quality, small. Dualboot BitLocker WinPro and LUKS Ubuntu could be easier, but gracefully the recipe in the Ubuntu wiki took care

At this time, their 'No Ads, No Investors, No Conflicts of Interest' phrase (and a very polished product which even runs great on my Jolla), is more important for me than source. Of course, not being FOSS is a pity, a trade-off. B

Why not? Law, regulation and policies matter. The servers fall under the jurisdiction of the country where they are located. There are certainly other options, but I think Switzerland is among the countries with quite reasonable data protec

They would need to compartmentalize their services to win me back. Some tracking I'd accept but I don't want them to aggregate my 'whole life'.

Threema is a paid app. Signal (Telegram) is open source and the chat is a core service for their providers. I.e. more important than Hangout for Google.

You don't pay - what do you expect? Use Threema, Signal or Telegram; likely a more sustainable experience.

“Apache+Commons Clause” does imo not pretend that it is free/open-source. It's a free/open-source license combined with a restriction. I think this is or should be plain for everybody who reads the license. In a way I can a

You don't have to kill... but some compromises you'll have to do. Librem and (partly) Sailfish/Jolla give you much more control but they are by far not as polished/broad as iPhones or Androids. Here a link, maybe the Sai

Exactly! A subscription would enforce me to one provider only. With micropayment it's my choice when and where I read.

Didn't know this. Recycling is good for ecology. At work we have some Hetzner servers. About two times a disk broke; with RAID it was not a problem, a hassle, at least the first time, it was, yes.

by chappi42 8y ago
Your right of course, but as we don't know the Hetzner statistics it's hard to say something definitive. -- As you (wink/scotu?) provide 1 datapoint I was thinking 1 datapoint from my side should be defensible :-)
