I've been using notesnook. It should export and import easily into proton when they've dine figuring stuff out.

It obfuscates the user each time you use it and doesn't log any info?

So while the query is maybe logged on chatgpts side for their own usage. Hopefully they shouldn't be able to build a profile against you.

It wouldn't be so bad if i could just launch the app and type a query...

Duck duck go have just launched an AI chatbot that acts as a middle man between the LLMs to try protect your privacy. duckduckgo.com/chat

Learn bangs!

95% of my searches, DDG is fine and I've learnt where it might struggle and I just end the search with !g

This then searches Google, yeah I'm still using Google for 5% of my searches but it's better than 100%.

Or use !start to search startpage.

I've degoogled apart from:

• Google photos - I have shared storage with my family and I really can't be doing with sorting out the mess when I cancel my 200GB subscription. I do however back all photos up to my server.
• Pixel phone - I try not use any Google apps/search but the phones are updated regularly and are reasonably good value for money. Other brands have the Google tracking with the OEM tracking on top.

I installed Linux mint on my Framework laptop because fuck windows.

I had to move back to windows, it didn't feel ready and couldn't get it working easily how I like.

Heres some of the issues(any pointers would be great)

• 120hz just wouldn't work on one monitor, it detects it but won't apply. (Works fine in W10 and Ubuntu).
• Scrolling on the touchpad is unbelievably fast and makes it unusable.
• Fractional scaling is a joke, my laptop screen needs around 125% but everything becomes a blurred mess.
• The mouse is a bit jittery and can't explain why (usually using a Logitech gaming mouse when docked).
• Governor cannot be different on battery and AC. Defaults to max turbo.
• Fingerprint sensor doesn't work (works fine on Ubuntu and w10).
• Unsure how to get hardware accelerated disk encryption working?

Some stuff is better but a combination of these just brings me back to windows. It just loads and works?

No, I can't use my yubikeys in fennec or Mull.

Does some of the payouts need normalising? Some of the bigger content creators make absolutely bank for hardly doing anything with little overheads.

Does it? It's a fantastic service that works really well, whether it's worth the price or privacy is a slightly different conversation

I switched my parents group chat to RCS from whatsapp after pestering them for ages.

Over the span of 2 months we had 4-5 inconsistencies where I would recieve a message from my mum or dad in the group that would be in another language or clearly not be written by them. It wouldn't show up on her phone but my brother and dad would see it.

Here's the proof of the last occassion it happened. They're never going to switch now...

Even if you selfhost, having a cloud provider can still be a good option to maintain 3-2-1 without hosting a second server offsite (at parents or friends etc).

I backup to backblaze b2

It's a jpeg

Then encoded in the metadata is a map of brightness.

If your website/app/phone doesn't support it, the metadata just sits there with info about the lens, shutter speed etc.

If it does support it, the JPEG is automatically processed with the metadata to increase brightness in the original jpeg.
