  • This is why you sign and encrypt the contents of email. If the recipient doesn’t have the public key, they can’t read the content.

    Allowing a service provider to “handle your keys” is tantamount to letting the fox watch the henhouse.

    Proton doesn’t provide IMAP/SMTP access for free accounts, so you won’t be able to encrypt emails locally.

    This ultimately is the tech version of “trust me bro”. This means you are as secure on Proton as you are on GMail, depending upon how you use the service.





  • By all means. After Apple has painted themselves in a corner, when the legislation has been loophole proofed, that’s when Apple gets hit in the face with the Brussels effect - like a big, floppy, dong slapped across Steve Apple’s mouth in every country out there.

    I’ll do a dance for every country. I’ll do a shimmy for Botswana, a conga for Japan, a shake for Sebia, etc, etc.

    Slap! Other cheek. Slayap! Other cheek! And so on and so forth.

    Hopefully.



  • I’ve just recently moved over to 11, because Windows 10 is going EOL in 2025. I needed to switch at some point anyways, so I might as well get it over with. I’m wondering if consumers can get access to LTSC releases of Windows though. Perhaps some form of enterprise edition, if LTSC editions aren’t publicly available.

    The problem being of course that I can’t move from my precious Ableton Live and I really don’t want a MacBook. Before I installed 11 I tried it under wine, using Bazzite no less. Could’ve gone with a more music centric distribution, but everything points towards it not being stable for live usage - like at all, even with WineASIO. Couldn’t get the Push to register, and the buffer was hammered with just a little bit of processing. So, yeah…

    My old Windows 10 install was Atlas OS, but now I’m trying Revision OS for 11. It must be doing something right for Windows Defender to quarantine one of it’s files. High praise from Caesar indeed. Revision is also a light modification, whereas Atlas OS pretty much nukes all the things - with varying effects and successes. In the end, they are community projects that obviously ruffle Microsoft’s feathers. So, yeah…

    It’s a question of how to make a music workstation by choosing the right windows edition, or how to hack at the system until Microsoft limbs are gimped. Also, I don’t think I’ll need a printer spool. In any case, it’s a pain in my arse that I now also have to find a way to nuke Copilot. That will surely just wreck my buffer absolutely. “But you could use it for music creation”… what’s the fun in that?

    In any case, please list your favourite key reseller sites. I might need to go shopping for something special, and Pro might not cut it.


  • The thing about Windows, or the thing that is going away, was that it has the possibility of being modified and customised, which made it more freedom respecting than macOS.

    From the windows registry, group policies, PE functionality, Windows was the commercial platform for tinkerers, businesses and professionals. It’s basically what made Windows awesome.

    Now, with ads in the menu, Microsoft being horny for apple’s app store vendor lock-in since Windows 8 and depriving the user of any kind of control, we finally see Microsoft emerge as one of the most evil companies to ever exist.

    Why? Read their history, because even with the good things they did with Windows, there’s a thousand bad, and you should never play devil’s advocate for them. They, nor Apple, deserves it.

    Also: use Linux or BSD, pls.



  • inkscape needs more contributions, both financially and in the way of code.

    The new advanced snapping system is as good or better than Affinity, path effects are an experimental feature that allows you to do batch shaping of a paths nodes using logical and mathematical parameters, CMYK support has landed and Inkscape is charting it’s own SVG standard specifically for vector graphics, design and drawing.

    The font handling was my biggest gripe, but even that’s gotten better.

    Besides the lack of art boards and certain other “nice to have’s”, I think I’ll be switching to Inkscape as a replacement.
