What the hell does this even mean?

I don’t think there’s a spreadsheet app yet. Hopefully soon

To be fair, it’s not as clear as it could be that there are other “plus” plans. If you happen to land on the proton mail page when looking, they only show you the mail plus option (and unlimited). And even then really truncate what exactly you get for each paid option. There’s a page that I was only able to find after opening my free account (it exists when not logged in, just never found it) that explains in depth all the options and differences.

Annoyingly, most of the individual upgrade pages don’t give the 2 year purchase option either.

Exposing their backend code to the public would be inviting bad actors to find loopholes in the logic. Your excuse for how they’re not secure is in fact one of their security features. No code is perfect, and you give enough people enough time to peruse through your software they’ll find a flaw to exploit. So they only provide their code to 3rd party audit companies they trust.

This is the best comment so far 🤣.

First off, who gives out belts for languages? I’ve been writing software for over a decade and never got any belts. You’d better believe I’d actually wear that sucker on my gi.

Dude, you’ve made your point on virtually every comment on this thread. We get it, you don’t trust them. The world has given all of us every reason not to blindly trust this sort of thing. But I’ve done enough digging that I’M happy with the security, and the fact they’re not feeding my private content to the AI monster.

Please, for the love of the flying spaghetti monster, don’t keep spamming EVERYONE with the same 3 points you’ve already made elsewhere.

For real, if it’s a useful product, and it’s free, then YOU’RE the product.

Drive has no Linux client,

I’m actually pretty sure they have one. I was doing a lot of exploring the last 2 days to make sure it was worth it to me to spend money on. And I landed on a downloads page on my Linux desktop that had a download link for drive for fedora, or debian. I can’t find it on mobile (where I am now), but I’ll look later on my PC and see if I can link it.

Was wrong, not sure what I found. Must have been the vpn or mail app.

Photos is extremely barebones and locks you basically in, as there is no export function

Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Hopefully it gets better later on, but for the moment I’m glad I made my own solution using a NAS, and a sync client.

Contacts still don’t sync

This was one of my first concerns, I’m also annoyed by it.

Additionally, I was hoping their big “docs update” would also include spreadsheets, but hopefully soon.

Playing the original (GameCube) is also fun. For me neither control structure is the end all be all, I just preferred the Wii version.

The remake was visually good for the most part, but I think the original looks better overall.

I hope they release all 3 of the original primes with the remaster before 4 comes out, but I’ll still be playing my Wii prime trilogy 🤣

Can’t argue there!

Yeah definitely have to turn up the sensitivity. The default level has you turning suuuuper slow.

Prime VR would be my JAM!

FINALLY!

Just wish we could use Wii controls. That was the best way to play prime. The switch remaster was okay, but not as good.

Sad but true

Username checks out…

That’s been the American legacy for a very long time.

Supporting Israel’s genocide is nothing I would have voted for given the choice.

From what I understand of Ukraine’s situation, I’m happy to support them.

The Chinese government already has our data thanks to Facebook, Google, and reddit (and just about every other free service). This ban (“forced sale” that will never happen because the US is only 10% of their revenue) is to limit our communication, not to save our data. They could pass legislation to protect our data across the board, but they (the house) have too much invested in meta and them to do anything to harm their bottom line.

This ban only became the biggest most important thing for the government to do after we all started learning what Israel was doing in Gaza. Our house of reps is primarily owned by Israel and private corporations, and Tiktok is a driving force for change. It’s getting more young people to vote than anything before. And all they want is representation that actually represents, rather than cater to bribery. This idea is terrifying to those currently in power, because they’ve enjoyed doing almost nothing good for the American people for 4 decades while getting stupid rich at the same time.

I understand a lot of people knew what was happening to the Palestinians for years, but that was information the US was happy to keep to itself. Tiktok made it super clear to the rest of us what was actually going on.

I’m not trying to say data privacy isn’t important. It is, but the ship has sailed on that problem. We can do things to limit the damage to future users, but everyone that’s already been on the Internet… 🤷. This is an issue they have with US citizens learning about all the shady underhanded shit they’ve been doing for decades. If they were truly worried about our data privacy, meta and Google would be their first and primary targets, rather than the primary beneficiaries from a sale (because a sale would immediately ruin it) or ban.

And finally (sorry, I know this is long), I’ve seen more anti Chinese information on Tiktok than anywhere else. If they were in control of what’s being shown (the government’s other big excuse here), you’d think they’d censor their past and current atrocities from being known. Everything I see on Tiktok doesn’t serve China at all. In fact if we’re finally able to vote out the dinosaurs and money whores that currently run things, then it may actually hurt China in the long run.

Thanks for reading my ranting Ted talk. Sorry about that!

I thought that picture was a screenshot of the movie District 9. Now making a parallel, even those alien guys were treated better than Palestinians.

I 100% believe that. But might it have done some good anyway? Just because “they’ll just do it anyway” is a terrible excuse not to try to better the situation.
