I have never tried Swisscows but I just want to say that Kagi is fantastic. Absolutely the best search experience I had in years.

The contents of proton pass are end to end encrypted

That's precisely why they can't do the scan from their servers. They don't know the domains - they're decrypted only on your device.

this has caused my whole vault to be leaked to public DNS servers via unencrypted UDP

I feel like this is a tad dramatic. Surely, your vault contains more data, probably more sensitive, than just domain names.

You might want to check out fatrace. It can tell you exactly which processes access the given filesystem.

Thanks for the confirmation. I actually considered that I just lost something in translation because of how weird this prompt is. I mean, what did they even try to say?!

Am I misunderstanding something or does this instruction contradict itself? "do not factor in" and then "keeping test scores in mind".

Allegro is the best online shopping experience in my opinion.

I don't think it's a popular opinion among people who actually use Linux. But I did hear it as an argument against using Linux or an attempt at explanation why it's not more popular.

Right, just pointing out that if it's common then it might be worth caring about even if it doesn't affect you personally.

I'm afraid this one reason might be much more common that you seem to think.

I'm all for reducing your phone usage and "living in the moment" but taking photos is actually something I try to do more recently, not less. Obviously, I'm not watching events through the phone screen while filming them, but if something worth remembering happens I will quickly snap a picture first (double press the power button, single press the volume button, done), and then put the phone away and enjoy it.

I realized that going through old photos actually brings me a lot of joy and often reminds me of moments I had completely forgotten. And mind you, I'm only approaching 30, I can only imagine this will be even more important when I'm older.

So yeah, I disagree with this one, but of course I realize this will be different for different people.

Wait, why is this downvoted?

Fantastic software. I have every single transaction from the last ~8 years recorded in GnuCash. Highly recommend!

They did! I'm on GrapheneOS now. I postponed the switch for over a year and the sideloading news convinced me to do it on the first free weekend. I'm very glad I did it.

Exposing services to the internet is one thing. The other thing is that without really solid backup strategy you can just lose your files. Both concerns grow even bigger if you're dealing with not just your own data but also your family's or friends'. It's a real responsibility.

I think it would be great if more people got into self-hosting but you really need to learn some stuff before jumping in. A single mistake can cost you a lot.

Yeah, it's amazing!

I see nothing wrong with that.

I just think it's fair to say the way they ask for donations is at least a little bit disingenuous.

It's not that simple and transparent actually. Wikipedia doesn't really need those donations to operate. They have money reserves for many years of expenses. I don't have a great source right now but this article looks decent. I didn't read the whole thing though.

For me it makes the text MUCH harder to read. Basically, instead of just quickly "scanning" the text I need to stop and consciously decipher words with this character.

When I read words I know I don't read them letter by letter, I just recognize the entire "shape" instantly. The thorn throws this mechanism off completely for me.

I would say it does not. Well, I guess it depends on what you watch. The stuff I subscribe is nothing like TV.
