Pass - Proton team picked up light theme recently so I'm guessing it will available in a year or so :)

Drive - had no described issues. I can search photos using its names. However, photos are not searchable through the web app.

VPN - true, dark mode only which sucks but honestly, I open it only where there's an issue with the VPN which is rare nowadays.

What I can say it that Proton products are for somehow "aware" users, which are not discourage by occasional issues. I would say it's a late beta state of things. I've been a happy Proton customer for quite few years and cannot complain about it. The best thing is that when I had an issue, I've raised a support ticket and within a day or two it got fixed. Or if it was an user(aka me) issue, it got explained with as much details as I needed.

I've been using GrapheneOS for over a year. I cannot complain about it, it works as advertised and it does it the best way possible. However, here's the list of things I find annoying/missing. Keep in mind, this is a subjective list.

• some (quite a lot of for me) apps require Google Play Framework (or whatever the name is) to work properly
• Aurora store tends to be unavailable randomly, which makes installation/updates difficult sometimes
• some features are wonky, e.g. GrapheneOS has no issues with disabling wifi when leaving my home but I was never able to enable wifi when I'm back home.
• default apps work ok-ish but it's far from good old iOS/Android experience
• Android Auto experience was a shitshow for me

Don't want to be a devil's advocate but can you provide something more than "I'm offended"? Let's say issue ticket(s), status page links, other people complaining, etc?

Oh no, anyway...

Linux distros are barely just getting their feet wet in the tablet/mobile world. I would say "barely just getting their toe wet" :)

Getting back to the point. I loved the way iPad was integrated with the stylus (Apple Pencil). My use case for a tablet back then was to write/draw stuff I did "remotely" and export all my, let's call it drawings, to mac and work on that. Today's example. I was planning a garden layout. It took me way too much time to get the stylus working the way I expected and when it did I had more issues trying to export the drawings to a usable format* I would be better off with a good old pen and paper.

• I'm not a pro Linux user so there's a good chance I missed something

KDE works ok on touch devices but if you're going to switch, try plasma mobile.

It is usable but I've been using iPad for years before trying Linux on a tablet and it's way behind iPadOS in terms of ux and ease of use. The latest plasma mobile makes it more tablety but it still feels like a desktop with touch support. Having said that, I'm pretty happy with plasma mobile and can't wait for further improvements.

I wrote it several times and I will write it again. Linux on a tablet is at best average. However, after recent release of KDE 6, plasma mobile got really good. In tablet mode it feels almost like a real thing. I've been using it for some time now and I like the experience.

I read an article about Fermi paradox (I cannot find the link) that stated the humans are one of the first intelligent beings in the universe. That's why we haven't encountered any green men so far. We just might came too soon to the party.

Cabbage stew with bacon and tomato sauce (a simplified version of hunter's stew).

I was about to suggest the same thing with a small caveat. From what I know, communication between doorbell and base station is unencrypted. I might be wrong, it's been a while since I read about it, so double check the current status.

That's why you should use "usb condom" when charing your phone from untrusted power source.

Having plain text secrets, or having secrets at all in a repository is always a bad practice. Even if it's a super-duper private/local/no one will ever see this repo.

It depends on an age group. I would agree that in a group of 20-30 it's a mess, but 35+ you can find a decent partner (depending on your age of course).

I have a mild speech impairment. I don't stutter on a daily basis but when I'm under heavy stress or when I'm tired I tend to stutter-ish. On top of that I live in a country where I don't speak in my native language and sometimes I feel self-conscious about small mistakes I make (like using the wrong word or messing up the grammar) which induces the stress response. It's not a big deal but it makes me crazy when I can't express my thoughts in public.

It's just history repeating itself. We've seen dotcom bubble, web 2.0 rush, nft fiasco and now AI. All fueled by VC greed. On top of that in today's world companies try to get as much data as possible and so called AI is the perfect tool for that.

I will but first answer my question. Why, according to you I might be a little racist, sexists?

Why?

I think you didn't understand my answer. Let me give you an example. If I say "I like oranges more than apples", normal people will think "ok, this guy likes oranges more than apples". But modern, progressive people who care about political correctness will call me applefobic.

People got too sensitive growing in the secure bubbles and when exposed to a real world with a real science, statistics and opinions get offended over nothing.

If the question is open, e.g. "do you like apples?" and the question is in my area of interest, I usually give an answer. But if the question assumes an answer or is deliberately polarizing, e.g. "why don't you like apples?" I pass.
