Focus on productivity and pleasure, so make the transition easier :

• try Linux without dual boot, e.g. https://distrosea.com/ (I made a 30min video discussion if you are curious)
• try Linux on a USB stick to get persistence and not be afraid of using private data
• try dual boot with default on Windows, your important data backed-up (e.g. music you created)
• try dual boot with default on Linux and Ableton or whatever you need on Wine, if it doesn't work in virtual machine
• try boot on just Linux with Wine
• try boot on Linux with Ableton FLOSS equivalents (few listed in this thread)
• try boot on Linux with e.g Ardour or LMMS but genuinely benefit from FLOSS by making and sharing your own plugins

The entire process must be risk free and fun!

Took 3 months but there you go https://video.benetou.fr/w/p/q8C2p1Aky9uVPrPShMrAxK?playlistPosition=8 let me know if that helps!

Starting to look like the biggest f*cking corner humanity ever faced.

conjure up an email summary within seconds that can shave off up to 5 whole minutes

... but can it? Like actually, can one do that?

Sure an LLM can generate something akin to a summary. It will look like it's getting some of the points in a different form... but did it get the actual gist of it? Did it skip anything meaningful that once ignore will have far reaching consequences?

So yes sure an LLM can generate shorter text related to what was said during the meeting but if there is limited confidence in the accuracy and no responsibility, unlike somebody who would take notes and summarize potentially facing negative consequences, then wouldn't the reliance on such a tool create more risk?

No I did not and I'm not sure what you imagine "regular users" might be. I feel that if someone goes the extra length to get their browser outside of a store, they can do the same with extensions, is it extravagant?

Right, is https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium then? Take like 4 clicks to get a working AppImage.

Is https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ not good enough?

I don't use this as a my main browser though, just for testing. I don't recommend Chromium backends due to Google control over it.

You do not have to care. I'm only highlighting that according to this community your post is precisely not "informing" much.

Also while checking your history https://lemmy.ml/post/19526546 it seems to be a pattern of misunderstanding then blaming it on others.

I guess that's what not arguing over petty details like "technical definitions" might result in.

Please do not use Proton if you do not think it's appropriate for your usage. Please do inform others about problems you do encounter. Please do note though that when you are misrepresenting the situation, e.g. with titles that are shortcuts and thus incorrect, you are NOT helping.

Because you wouldn't be actually switching so that's not lock-in, that's just you expecting free stuff forever.

Anyway, I understand your point. I also want free stuff and I also want all my free stuff to be exactly what I need. My criticism is more than you selecting a provider, not paying for it, know what the problem is then complain it's not what you need despite knowing it in advance. What also was problematic for me is that your title is not correct.

Finally, maybe you are technically right (which I do not believe) but you can see from the total number of downvotes to your post and the upvotes on my comments that, at least in this community, your interpretation is being quite criticized.

To end on a pragmatic note : please PLEASE do get funding (it does not have to be your own money) for Proton to provide forwarding for free for all email addresses. I'm sure nobody on this community would complain about that, I surely won't!

PS: if you are into lock-in and tech, consider reading "Information Rules: A Strategic Guide to the Network Economy" by Carl Shapiro and Hal R. Varian - ISBN 087584863X - Harvard Business Press 1998 and if it's a bit too much here are my notes on it https://fabien.benetou.fr/ReadingNotes/InformationRules written 15 years ago.

Start kdeconnect-app from a console and share what the actual error message is.

Maybe I'm missing something, do you often communicate via email to your bank?

I know I do not. Pretty much never ever. That being said if I were to have to, rather than via their website or phone call, I can update that data on my bank account. I'm sure I must go through few (security) hoops to do it but I doubt it takes me more than 5min. In such case... I would put whatever email and I need to switch because I don't want to pay for that domain anymore then I would just update my contact information there.

TL;DR: I also use my own domain name for banking but in my case I'd argue it doesn't matter much.
