That’s super interesting, I do remember being taught as a kid how to use Google Image search (circa 2005), Gimp for photo manipulation around the age of 12 in 2008, we had technology classes with electronics, technical drawing, even some plastic bending machine, and light programming (made a robot figurine execute recorded moves in sequence)

I do wonder if it’s still the case in my own country

Computer literacy is weird because it feels like millennials were born into it and had to learn how to use the tools available… Then said tools were made a lot simpler with a lot less control over them, and Gen Z was born into apps and saas and did not have the chance to properly learn

We generally only taught a single generation to master our tech, I think it’s scary, but also I trust the Zoomers to figure it out, they’re creative

Man what an incredible space, I’m jealous

This is the important paragraph on the article

Because Proton has no venture capital investors, we can take this additional step to secure the future. Swiss foundations do not have shareholders, so Proton will no longer be dependent upon the goodwill of any particular person or group of persons. Instead, Swiss foundations and their board of trustees are legally obligated to act in accordance with the purpose for which they were established, which, in this case, is to defend Proton’s original mission. As the largest voting shareholder of Proton, no change of control can occur without the consent of the foundation, allowing it to block hostile takeovers of Proton, thereby ensuring permanent adherence to the mission.

Ohhh this is going to be awesome

As others have said, you need to take a step back, and find some rest

I’ll also add a thought : creativity comes from your lived experiences, the more you discover new ideas, exchange with new people, understand new cultures, the more matter you’ll have at your disposal to pick from when looking for creative solutions to whatever you’re working on. Go on holidays, visit a museum, buy a concert ticket, the more you put yourself out there to be available for new experiences, the more creative you’ll be.

That awful Smith dad and son sci fi movie, I can’t even remember the name, I wish I had never seen it

Maybe https://writefreely.org/ ? But it’s very simple with not a lot of customisation

Or https://joinplu.me/ but its development has been halted lately

I’m curious about your agile theory now !

Fun fact : Yam’s is the french name for Yahtzee

!photomode@feddit.uk is nice, wish it had more screenshots coming in !

No way when this https://lifehacker.com/tech/discord-data-sold-to-ai-and-law-enforcement and this https://spy.pet/ exist

(Not really, it’s a blend of metal and breakcore)

The poison brewer would never try his own product 🙃

The name the website is giving them is weird, it’s officially the “Regulatory Authority for Audiovisual and Digital Communication”, their mission is the same (fighting piracy) so it doesn’t really matter but it’s still weird to call them by one of their tasks.

Anyway this is an interesting study because of the data, but the reading is obviously biased, they imply that the use of VPNs and what they call “alternative DNS” (yeah guess what, if my ISP blocks websites I’m still going to access them) is suspicious, they do mention security/privacy as one of the usages (it’s the two main motivations for the majority of users in their results).

Something interesting : NordVPN is the most used by the panel, I think it’s reasonable to explain it by the heavy marketing NordVPN did on french youtube (almost every big youtuber had an ad segment with them), but their results say otherwise, 35% of the panel says it’s based on recommendations from closed ones.

I don’t know why some in the panel of 3000 people would self report as pirating, it sounds dumb to admit to an infraction to the law.

Edit : Their conclusions are absolutely busted, an example: 26% people using a VPN reported data privacy was their main reason (for 49% it was one of the motivations), next is securing their data against breaches for 23% (44%), piracy fall down as the 6th motivation with 7% (17%) ; their conclusion? “The choice of a VPN is rather simple, to not be tracked and access illegal content” what kind of botched logic is that

On the bright side, Firefox has a 21% market share in France on desktops, yay!

I guess we need a c/tipofmytongue
