Not all of us use older PC’s. I really don’t care what other people use but I like being on the latest version of whatever software I’m using

I stopped reading about here. I can already tell the rest is a “me, me, me!” ramble about how the world should appeal to you and you only.

Just don’t use Zorin, you’re not their target market.

Kind regards.

Why are you guys so obsessed with the latest packages? A lot of new stuff doesn’t work on older PCs which is also Linux’s target market.

I don’t know the details, but I hope they will at least remove the VPN and crypto wallet integrations from the default installed version.

You still have to double check for mistakes. But even that takes less time than writing a 3-4 sentences semi-formal email from scratch.

In any case, your emails aren’t safe either, mate. Even if you don’t use AI, the person on the other side most likely will and your emails will be scanned just the same. Nobody is safe. Which is why this Thunderbird feature doesn’t excite me in the least.

We probably never sent as many emails as we do today, and there are bigger priorities. Wanna blame someone, blame the overly pompous corporate world.

Is that real, or a misinterpretation of the law?

Have you tried talking to customer support? I hear they are quite responsive.

I 100% agree. Whenever these companies start with their own projects I immediately get suspicious that their goal is to enshittify down the line with vendor lock-in.

The only reasons why I’m seriously considering a Tuxedo are 1. European brand and 2. Double SSD.

Not a lot of laptops seem to be offering double SSD while being Linux compatible, so my hands are kinda tied.

Nice. Cheers!!

Understood 🫡 thanks for that. I am generally happy with IONOS however their DNS propagation seems to take forever. I have a new domain I bought a couple days ago and my email provider’s DNS still hasn’t propagated… I thought we were past the 72h propagation era, but I guess not with everyone.

Does their final price already include WHOIS protection?

I found OVH quite confusing. Do they upsell you like crazy (e.g. is WHOIS protection an upsell)? I don’t want to create an account on purpose just to find out.

Its also what you use if you want to have your domain stolen, apparently.

I’ve had few problems in the 7 years I have used them[…] one of which is not possible to get back since I’m required to provide proof that I live in Sweden […] Wasn’t the case when I initially bought it in 2018.

Sounds like a severe case of Stockholm syndrome to me. /s

Anyways, you do you buddy. I don’t trust them at all after those reviews. Especially when IONOS exists.

PS: kinda funny that a supposedly privacy-focused registrar demands an official document of your place of residence. Sounds like the promised privacy is just a gimmick (or, something that all registrars offer by default as long as you choose the WhoIS guard option).

I have never received a DM from another user on lemmy despite being more active than OP.

I’m not subscribed to many communities. Maybe linux and BuyEuropean and not much else.

I doubt that’s the reason for the spam.

Well, would you say Boost blocks images by default? Because Thunder (the front end I’m using) doesn’t.

Yeah, that’s what I’m concerned about. Getting random CSAM, or Gore, or some f’ed up stuff like that. Images should at the bare minimum come censored before clicking.

I didn’t even have the option to click any placeholders, it just automatically loads the whole thing (but maybe its just the front-end I’m using).

What’s up with everyone in this comment section shilling registrars with abysmal customer reviews? Lol. The only one that even has remotely good reviews is Mythic Beasts.

Anyways, I’d like to recommend IONOS (German). Their service has been flawless so far, and I haven’t seen any reports of bad customer either.

Those reviews don’t look very inspiring, not gonna lie. Also, their About page says their service is run from Costa Rica?

Ultimately I don’t think these “privacy-first” domain registrars are a great choice, which is a rare thing to say about an internet service.

But you’re dealing with private property here and being ICANN-accredited (which Njalla isn’t) is kind of important if you’re gonna do something serious with your domain. You want those protections that excessive privacy won’t permit having.

Right? I think Lemmy is way more conducive to conversations than Reddit.
