If people in the 1990’s only knew how much personal and sensitive data those desktop UIs collected unbeknownst to the common end user with the purpose of profiting off of it by selling all that aggregated data to honorable businessmen who in turn would hand it over to totalitarian regimes and other cyber criminals. Oh boi.


I swear on EVERYTHING that I was imagining Holt when I wrote it :D 🩵🩵🩵


Same experience with Tutanota. :)
I accidentally purchased their most expensive plan, which I didn’t need, and it took one mail and a few minutes for them to downgrade my plan and refund the difference. :D


I agree though! The spring semester has had some awful “bumps”. Amazingly though, I only experienced it on the app. Didn’t seem to affect my Mullvad OpenWRT router. Which is even weirder, since it’s bound to a single node all the time. 🤔
I’d use ivpn for sure if I wasn’t with Mullvad! 😊


That’s sic too :D


He he, yeah, twas a nice surprise :D


Yeah. Other than being vocal about the right to privacy in my everyday life, maybe I should drop a job application at Mullvad 😆


I’m really not deep enough into that culture to understand what you mean. Either that, or it’s that I’m a non native speaker? 😅 Please explain. 🙏 Is it not just a nerdy way of saying “making a Linux desktop environment look fancy”?


Nah, tried it, but alas… I just went home and did it with LibreOffice on my Linux rig.


Why? People above ricing now? 🤣


Didn’t work for some reason. Now I’m guessing the files were read-only. But then again, LibreOffice opened them without issues on my Linux rig a few minutes ago…


Done and done 👌 thanks! 😊


Yeah, it’s pretty sweet! There’s even a whole sub over at Reddit. But be warned: I once asked politely why they insist on ricing their termux instances - expecting some sincere replies - and I got bullied out of there faster than the Millennium Falcon did the Kessel Run…


Yep, that still seems to be the case.


Yeah, I’m on my way home now to do this on my Linux rig. Ugh… Would’ve been nice to be able to do it from my tab at the cafe, but, we can’t have it all, I guess 🤣


Thanks! Unfortunately, neither were able to open my .docx files.


Nice! Thanks! As a last resort, I’m considering X11 + LibreOffice on Termux.


Thank you. My age is one of my biggest hurdles when it comes to my mental health, so honestly, this is kind of triggering. But I of course understand what you meant and I’m grateful for the encouragement!!! 🩵
I have always known how I want to behave, talk, look and feel. But I grew up in such a cisnormative context that I internalized the mantra, “something’s wrong with me”. My mental health issues didn’t help either: I had no sense of self worth whatsoever. 💔
But I am here now. And I believe in my future. 🩷
Awww I fucked up. Thanks!
