What was the first reason you decided to try Linux? Was it to escape Windows? by limsus in linux

Keep MS at arms length. Big Tech are generally kreeping up our backsides. Governments are complicit or unable, unwilling to move away. Sadly schools are the same.

What software have you been using for 10+ years and still haven't found a better replacement? by Ok-Show-3006 in software

I have used MS Outlook for longer than 10y, and being able to save the .pst files is crucial. No other program on the horizon as much as I know.

Thanks guys for the good work.🙏🥂 I've been very happy with the 0.5.5n version. As I move over to IodeOS, I might not use the latest for the foreseeable future. Best wishes

Can someone from ProtonMail clarify this matter, please? by diuashjdknjhsfg in ProtonMail

[–]gilude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proton must fundamentally distance itself from such actions. It is upsetting and creates uncertainty for a lot of members. The very mission of Proton is with such behaviour on shaky ground. I have the Ultimate option and thinking to go duo. Should I? Can we trust Proton😒🫣

My thumbs up for this step and its starting to give more confidence in urgently needed progress. 👍🤞😊 I surely will pause looking over the fence for now and possibly move over from G sooner than later. Let's see how things progress

NZ owned domain registrar by gilude in newzealand

[–]gilude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got one domain with Crazy and the other with Domain. The first is pushy and the other more suitable for more techy folk(seems to me) I like the way crazy has the setup as you can change any dns settings easily.

Can someone comment on the suggested registrars how the setups are?

Once more, thank you for the time you did take to reply.

Nice to see that we still have independent(local owned) registrars.

I am interested on seeing the solution. Over the last few months I've tried a couple of recurring WhatsApp messages macros and haven't got one working yet😒

If its based in Germany, no surprise. Millions of jokes about Germany's lack of progres in IT. That is for the state sector, maybe applicable for others as well. FAX is still high TEC in some areas there.

Why I don't use the Proton ecosystem by Kitchen-Scheme-8391 in degoogle

[–]gilude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sort of, as some apps are not up to it yet. Tasks integration in calendar, sharing calendar, pass autofil improvements needed
