Actually it matters, that is Huawei came up with ArkTS for HarmonyNEXT.

It doesn't matter, which is why China (the country) isn't putting weight behind it. There are hundreds of non-Chinese companies with a specific language for their systems. It's completely incomparable to things that China the country does care about, such as the aforementioned mobile OSes. Of course they'd rather the languages and everything else is Chinese-controlled, that's trivially true. But priorities make all t…

Depends on how much you want to control the delivery chain regarding possible backdoors, or suddenly losing access to a specific programming language on Github.

Even with cloning, those upstream changes are no longer available other than by non official channels.

> Google has two products without competition: YouTube and Google Maps. I've actually found great success in migrating to nothing from YouTube. Specifically I've found nothing to have a much less insidious algorithm, no shorts, no comment section, no upvotes or downvotes, no creepy Mr beast thumbnails, it's quite refreshing. If you still want cideos that are exclusively on YT, you can simply skip the website and acce…

Do you mean like in not watching any video or film at all? I'm not sure that this is the best option, since there is a lot of information which is better expressed by moving pictures than by text. As for the algorithm, it is actually great if you take care to nudge it with subscriptions, likes and dislikes.

For the last few months I've simply stopped accessing YouTube directly. No website, no app. I still watch some videos that are embedded on articles or whatever, and occasionally download specific ones, but I don't see anything that's core to the YT experience, like subs or shorts or anything like that.

It's almost unavoidable to encounter videos that are only hosted on YT, but if I can't watch them without accessing any YT interface, I just don't watch them, I've just decided it's not worth it. I also haven't done anything specific to restrict the website, I've just mentally banned it as a simple rule to follow. It's an insidious service imo that uses casino tactics to steal my time and attention. What I occasionally want is videos, but their entire service beyond that provides only negative value to me.

I don't feel like I've missed much.

For insta, I've always just used their website, which is so terrible, and the content so inconsequential, that it's not a big deal anymore in terms of stealing my attention.

Have you checked out zeptomail by zoho? Not as low cost, but getting close. More basics build in.

Not EU. > Zoho Corporation is an Indian multinational technology company that makes cloud-based office software.

They have EU datacenters and an actually staffed legal entity in Germany .

It depends on whether your IP address has good reputation or not. Don't act like we're idiots, we know what SPF, DKIM and DMARC are. We've seen perfect e-mails (rated 100/100 by deliverability services) get rejected by Microsoft because reasons. You were lucky, congratulations.

I mean I have seen 100/100 on https://mail-tester.com/ get rejected by Microsoft, yes, but feel free to call me a liar if that helps you feel better.

I've just noticed you're the guy who said that people were migrating away from US services "because it's trending"; you're obviously a self-satisfied pillock and I won't engage in further discussion with your tedious online personality

> There are no laws preventing you from saying anything in the US, unless... Sounds like there are some of those laws. You covered them with "unless"

This is a common refrain from people in countries without freedom of speech, used to argue that the US doesn't AcKtUalLy have freedom of speech. The idea that "freedom of speech" in the US is not philosophically and fundamentally different than "freedom of speech" in, for example, the UK or Germany, is not an opinion grounded in reality regardless of what legal minutiae you can point to.

Well what are the differences then?

So far all we have is the statement that Germany has some speech laws, but the US has no speech laws except for the speech laws that it has, which is a grammatical trick, not an actual difference, because it's saying both countries have some speech laws.

>Where are search warrants issued via public proceedings? You could make the same point about any jurisdiction. It's different though, typically you can fight those warrants after the fact, with EIOs you have to do the fighting in a jurisdiction you don't live in. This is all deeply problematic because things like "probable cause" have very different meanings in different EU countries, even if on paper it's all suppo…

Maybe stick to one account? It’s confusing for the rest of us, if nothing else. You are determined not to point to any specific examples and you keep switching to different abstract arguments. For example, you’ve now dropped the point about EIOs being non-public in some sort of allegedly sinister way, and are raising a different set of equally irrelevant abstract points.

>you’ve now dropped the point about EIOs being non-public in some sort of allegedly sinister way

Nonsense, I told you that EIOs are non-public after you repeatedly insisted on examples of them being abused. I did not suggest that there's anything sinister about them being non-public. The sinister part is outsourcing warrants to other countries. I can't trust that the French legal system will protect me in France anymore because now I also have to trust the Hungarian legal system, that's bad.

Frankly, it seems silly to debate about whether or not these systems are being abused when we know that Poland has historically issued one third of all EAWs.

> Proton has mail, calendar, drive, docs, sheets and more coming As of today, there is no official Proton Drive client for Linux that I'm aware of. There is unofficial support via Rclone, but it is still beta and I try to avoid mounting via Rclone anyway. I recall that it wasn't a really convincing experience when I tried it with OneDrive.

Proton Drive for Linux (and Drive SDK) are announced for this year. Unfortunately not more specifically than “this year”.

I hope you are right. I'm tired of waiting for a product I paid for while the company is working on new products instead of finishing the one that is halfway there.

>What about pedophile-run government where nobody ever gets arrested? This is just complete nonsense. We are not run by pedophiles. Nobody is being arrested because the people you want arrested have committed no crimes. Being in the Epstein files doesn't make someone a pedophile.

'I'm not racist I just like the free coffee at the weekly white supremacist rallies. Great bunch of good friends'

Countless innocent people are in the epstein files and you want to ruin their lives with ZERO evidence.

Some of these European countries such as France are quite authoritarian. They frequently pass (update: propose/push for) laws to ban VPN and even social media, request access to private messages, etc. It seems to me the situation is equally bad in EU.

You have no idea what you are talking about, really. We don’t "frequently" pass such laws. Nobody is accessing private messages, even if there have been such attempts. The EU has still the strongest privacy laws world wide, and in contrast to others a strong ethical foundation. It may be slow, it may be torn, it may be overly beaurocratic, but sure enough not authoritarian.
