For notes, I have moved to Joplin with the option to synchronize my data using a WebDAV server. It works really well, and it has both a mobile and desktop app. If you’re interested in developing your project, maybe you can have a look at the options this provides. For example, I really like the ability to separate notes between groups, assign tags, create drawings, and the possibility to use Markdown.

Good luck with your projects! To mirror @enemenemu’s suggestion, I would also look into collaborating with the people trying to push the EU Docs alternative. Not sure if that will work, but it’s worth a shot if you’re interested :D

Fooyin is also a solid choice.

I don’t know… I feel like this is all premeditated. Project 2025 basically describes this exact thing: get EU to stop relying on the US. It’s all a bit more insidious than just Old Donnie being stupid and vain. I truly wonder whether this is a US conservative’s gamble to get stronger allies, or just a much bigger plan to extract more wealth for the rich in the US.

I, for one, would love to see Europe get rid of American dependence, but I have a feeling that everything will go back to the usual after getting peace in Ukraine. The US has enough buffer between them, China and Russia to not care, and plan for much farther ahead. They will keep lining up the pockets of policy makers to get them to lean towards their interests, and 2-3 generations down the line we nudge even closer to far right capitalism. Especially since Europe now might start shifting it’s industry to produce weapons, which will take our focus away from other important areas, like local chip manufacturing.

I’m curious to hear other opinions though. What is your take on all of this?

I also had to upload 2000 photos. The issue was that they had to encrypt each, which took me like 2 days with it running in the background 😅 It could have also been due to my phone being quite old. I don’t rely on it that much, other than using it as an off-site back-up for my most important documents.

I do agree that the best choice is a self-hosted solution with proper security, but sadly not everyone has the time or the skills to manage that. The Proton CEO thing also annoyed me, but the Proton Foundation as a whole has good opinions about privacy (e.g., against chat control proposal in the EU). However, next time a slip like this happens from them, I’ll probably have had enough time to move my stuff to a local deployment.

Proton offers a Drive, and they’re based in Switzerland. I don’t see them being strong-armed like this by the UK government any time soon.

It’s amazing that Linux gaming is becoming a thing that’s better sometimes than Windows gaming (minus the getting banned part in some games). I also like that AMD is making some big pushes on open source drivers, plus their ROCm open-source alternative to CUDA.

This is a great time for Linux users! :)

What a stupid article. It’s like saying “stop using electric vehicles because you can’t use gas stations”. I don’t understand why he’s so adamant about this? It’s not like Wayland had about 20 years of extra time to develop like X11. People keep working on it, and it takes time to polish things.
