Good point, however, no one should be promoting ExpressVPN as any kind of secure option in the first place. It's owned by a person who is notorious for creating and deploying malware.

This seems like a win for "civil society". Putting a dent in NSO's secrecy so software makers can patch against it would be a win as long as Whatsapp (Meta) publish their findings publicly and not keep it for themselves to be the next biggest threat to "civil society". As if they haven't done enough civil damage and spying themselves already.

It's totally usable for me. A little CLI and some scripts do what isn't finished yet in GUIs. If you want the absolute latest COSMIC packages use apt-manage to add the popdev-master repo. It's only a VM so you shouldn't be worried about breakage.

At last, some authority talking sense!

If they weren't doing anything wrong they shouldn't care who watches where they go, right?

Although this is great news I've often seen System76 devs say "It will be ready when it's ready" when speaking on any past release. I'm happy to be patient and wait for whatever they release as long as it's done right. And I've come to trust them to go above and beyond expectations.

Fair enough. I could be happy to purchase if given more/better options. In fact, having the ability to do business from different platforms or self host is smart. Not having all your eggs in one basket is preferable. I was speaking more to people/businesses that rely on Facebook as their singular point of business. And my pet peeve that frustrates to the maximum is business support solely on X/Twit - That is so low effort and unprofessional.

Last time I looked it didn't -https://posteo.de/en/site/faq. However, Tuta does - https://tuta.com/blog/posts/own-domain-email. To refocus on OP's question, I would be happy to get a "professional business email" from a Posteo address.

Posteo is great for business. It's a professional and competent company that respects your privacy to a good degree, and has a clue about security. In a sense it's MORE professional than trying to DIY, unless you really know what you're doing. I would feel encouraged to see a business use Posteo when I receive the email. It tells me that your business probably cares a little about security and/or privacy and possibly the environment too. Total kudos for using Posteo from me.

What I think is completely unprofessional is to use your ISP's address for business email. The number one unprofessional business move, in my opinion, is to have your business website on Facebook/Meta, Twitter or any other enshitified corporate social media site. You won't get my business. I'll go anywhere else no matter how inconvenient.

Here's a tip to make using Firefox profiles easy.

  1. go to about:profiles and create a profile. Let's call this one "better" because it has the Betterfox css added. (an example)
  2. On Linux typing firefox in a terminal will launch the default profile. Typing firefox -p better will launch the "better" profile. If you're on OS X or Windows just find out what the equivalent command would be to execute the launch.
  3. Go to wherever you need to in your operating system to create custom keyboard shortcuts. For me that's Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts. Create a new shortcut with the following information.

Name: Firefox profile better

Command: firefox -p better

Keys: enter the keys you want to use

How to choose keys;

My desktop environment uses super(windows) + b to launch the default browser, which happens to be Firefox. So for me it makes sense to use something like super + shift + b for consistency, and easy to remember. If you have a profile with Arkenfox css it could be super + shift + a. Regardless, try for a mnemenic and consistent solution.

Now whenever you want to launch a new instance of a Firefox profile just tap the keys you assigned.

Hahahahahhah lmao, this is funny, weird, stupid, useless and disturbing all at once.

 

Today I saw someone once again trash System76 for rebranding Clevo machines and writing that off as some kind of deceptive business model. Ultimately, they're not "just rebranded Clevo...", but even if they were, the ignorant douchebag posting this misguided rant fails to acknowledge that EVERY SINGLE LAPTOP OEM does the same. Yes, HP, Dell, Lenovo - fucking all of them!
