I'm starting to think you're Dominican too 🤣

Enjoy it. I'm honestly happy to read this. My country has the bad habit of copying all the crappy shit from the US, and none of the good

I'm not going to defend the US and it's tech oligarchs, they are all shit, but the way things are going, the EU and the UK are currently in way worse shape than the US in terms of all this 1984 bullshit.

No country is safe from this anymore, and we may very well be looking at the worse time to be alive when it comes to privacy, regardless of where you live.

You're parenting the right way. Let our kids know about our past and how it compares to theirs, live it. And joking with my kids and their friends without immediately jumping to "that's bullying", you can tell my kids are a bit happier than the rest because everything is a joke to them. I applaud you.

I've been cursing a lot lately, and I blame what I listened to in Spotify. By no means was it because I was playing my pirated Eminem music all weekend 🤣🤣

If you like "unlikely to break, don't mind my software and kernel a bit behind", anything Debian or Ubuntu based will be fine. Now, if you want cutting edge, even if you have to get pissed and confused a bit, Arch or Fedora based, in my opinion.

At the end of the day it comes down to taste and need. They all work (mostly 😋).

This is the best advice, in my opinion, keeping your data in a separate partition (or a separate drive if possible). This makes distro-hopping a breeze, since your data remains intact between distros.

After that, jump around as much as you want until you find something you're comfortable with.

Well, I'm keeping mine. I'm actually very happy with it. This article is full slop, with loads of disinformation, and an evident lack of research. It looks like it was made with some Ai bullshit and the writer didn't even check what that thing vomited.

This I can agree on. They would have been better served and made it clearer to their users by clarifying that it is not 'zero trust' and not e2ee. At the end of the day, once the masses start trusting a company they stop digging deep, just read the first couple of paragraphs of the details, if at all, but some of us are always digging to make sure we can find the weakest links in our security as well as our privacy to try and strengthen them. So yeah, pretty stupid of them.

Where does it say "zero trust" 'on Protons own page'? It does not say "zero-trust" anywhere, it says "zero-access". The data is encrypted at rest, so it is not e2ee. They never mention end-to-end encryption for Lumo, except for ghost mode, and they are talking about the chat once it's complete and you choose to leave it there to use later, not about the prompts you send in.

Zero-access encryption

Your chats are stored using our battle-tested zero-access encryption, so even we can’t read them, similar to other Proton services such as Proton MailProton Drive, and Proton Pass. Our encryption is open source and trusted by over 100 million people to secure their data.

Which means that they are not advertising anything they are not doing or cannot do.

By posting this disinformation all you're achieving is getting people to pedal back to all the shit services out there for "free" because many will start believing that privacy is way harder than it actually is so 'what's the point' or, even worse, no alternative will help me be more private so I might as well just stop trying.
