I assumed OP plugged himself in some hidden serial port (like cars' obd2) and the washing machine had indeed a tpm to prevent bootleg/non original spare parts.

The human mind can be the deepest well of imagination sometimes. I'm a bit too good at that o.Ô

Don't ask me what I do not look forward to.

My reaction when reading the post's title: nothing.

I am not tired.

You have to drive one to really know. It is laughably underpowered, acceleration is "glacial pace" at best.

Then there's the seating position which is rather strange; the bench seat is low and the steering wheel high and rather flat. It feels like if you kneel down to pray at church, which you may as well be doing because braking power is ...on par with acceleration.

BUT the looks are unique, the flip-up windows hilarious (when they inevitably fall down on your elbow), it has this unique sardine-can-opening roof, and with the removable rear bench seat has tons of cargo space. Said bench seat is super comfy, perfect for front porch.

Also you can't roll them over in a turn, and believe me we tried.

T410? Woah! I still mourn the death of my 420 with it's Dome Light and rugged looks

I hope yours stay on, and on, and on!

My wife has a T480s on standard 2022 LTS Ubuntu, it is a machine old enough to not need the latest edgy mint ; a friend of mine has had to install it on his 2023 X1 tho.

Standard Mint will do fine. Default DE is boring as hell, be sure to look at others like Gnome. I love Gnome.

Also, using "live" USB keys OP can try several distros and check what they find more attractive in the default state of a distro.

PopOS, Elementary, Fedora, Tumbleweed... So many of them.

I say Tumbleweed is best because of the perfect, seamless integration of BTRFS / Snapshotting / Rollback system. It is truly the best way to dip your feet into Linux and get it back working in a single click when you (inevitably) fuck up.

Isn't there something also about expressing oneself in here? With the limited freedoms society gives our bodies and behaviours, hacking our hardware to get it to do as we please is a form of liberty, and of self-expression. With a healthy dose of show-them-the-middle-finger to everything oligarchic, capitalistic and conservative that dominates the world around us.

That, of course, with the desperately needed privacy on top.

I see I sideload of Gentleman Agreement with the hardware vendors here:

• Hardware Vendors : "Oh No, The Market is Slowing Down!"
• Microsoft: "Hold My Beer, it's Payback Time"

Everyone wins. Well, the usual suspects win as usual. The environment and the customer can go kiss Mr Gates and Mr Dell's asses.

If you use the config file generator from the Proton website, you can have a Wiregard config tailor-made to load in NetworkManager for instance. Or several with or without NAT, different exits and so on.

I don't know how this isn't widely known, it's been there for a while.

I am a full Proton paying customer too. At the time of signup, a Drive Linux client was supposedly next in line... There's zero mention of it now. I need a VPN IRL and wasn't keen on relying on a free plan where I was used to pay for one anyway. Aaaand I planned to move my emails of course since it's in the bundle.

I'd gladly uplift people and advocate for progress on the privacy and security fronts, invite world+dog to join but I can't do it now in this situation. Linux users being underserved is how I feel.

Mandatory "I use Arch BTW" mention.

That Boss guy says it there, Linux customership is negligible. I was happy to switch to an ethical ecosystem, but at the end of the day Proton is a company that runs for profit.

Nevermind that this specific Linux customership is exponentially sensitive to privacy and security next to the average windows user, our money still doesn't matter.

It's... annoying. Drive is relegated to weekly Dead Stupid Backups while Dropbox gives me real filesharing, VPN is highly unstable next to my former.. dare I mention it? Yes: next to NkrdVPN which was ultra reliable anywhere I went, and Mail is only used for the passmail obfuscation since I don't think I'll stay with proton and didn't switch my main mail to it.

I'd be curious to know if the userbase of proton products reflects that of general statistics of OS'es repartition.

Reconcile these two axioms:

1. Every Lemmy out there is using (arch) linux exclusively, both at home and at work
2. Every post on c/linux is about ditching windows very soon and choosing the best linux distribution

That's a Nobel Prize in (creative) mathematics right here!

Up/Down speed is my feeling, but "negotiations" between client and server too.

I never had the VPN app to work, I use the config file generator then set it up in NetworkMamager - which at least work all the time.

Done, you're right

So slow and cumbersome. Sorry my benchmark is dropbox

I answered "I want safeguards in place towards the purpose and final use of LLM's output".

I got it in my proton mailbox.

The mail even says "Limited submissions. Respond now to ensure your voice is heard."

Go for it!

Funny story the other way around: the year is 2002 and I live in Laos. Bootlegs Everything Galore, all movies games music cost $1 or about. I discover a game, and then begins a quest to buy The Real Version because it's a small studio and I really like it all, the storytelling, the modding tools, the community... A quest that would end up in Bangkok looking like the proverbial insane foreigner looking for the most stupid way to spend his money.

I found it eventually, in a shop that didn't look any different among all its brothers in Pantip Plaza. Took me a while lol.
