Should they? To my awareness that's all original code developed by Meta.

There are archives of all the rarbg magnet links. I still use them to successfully find stuff. As long as those links are out there it is still possible to help people out.

When rarbg went down I immediately went and for any torrent I still had loaded in my client I quadrupled my normal ratio (3.5 -> 12.00). Then I also just increased my ratio generally.

I wish I had more disk space to keep things going even longer, but I really gotta cycle stuff out unfortunately.

I don't particularly trust any Chromium-based browser, because that affords more power to Google and their efforts to bully the rest of the world with Chrome.

I love that you guys use AGPL, the best license for networked software. This is exactly how Truth Social (the Donald Trump social site) was forced to release their source code, since it was just Mastodon, which is AGPL. The links to their sources are available here (warning, fash website link), but I do not know if they are actually compliant and up-to-date with whatever code changes they've made to it.

Of course, as we can see, AGPL is not about disallowing monetization, even by corporate actors. It's about giving back. A thing that reactionaries and big companies are exceptionally bad at doing. The AGPL is anathema to the all-consuming, anti-social goals of silicon valley tech companies. Consider Google's Anti-AGPL policy: https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl-policy. Compare that to how they treat Android, which is Linux (GPLv2) with the entire userland stripped out and replaced with non-copyleft code so as to ensure their continued control over the devices once they sell them to you.

OK, I'm hopping off the soapbox, now 😆

But the point is what Swiss law is. They cannot be compelled by a court order to log data for their VPN service, but they can be compelled by a court order to log email accesses. This needs to be considered by users of Proton, and indeed it is a bad mark against them that this wasn't clear upfront before the French activist case.

I'm not saying all this to defend Proton, really. I don't even use their service anymore, but I did use the vpn for 3 years without incident.

The protonmail case has little to do with how they log records of protonvpn.

That’s unfortunate :(

I've never had a multi-channel setup to experience configuring it, but I am sure there must be guidance out there. In my own experience PW improved my Linux audio experience quite a bit by resolving some issues I had with glitchy audio on my DAC and audio latency that was noticeable in some games.

I will occasionally check Reddit, but I've dropped it by about 90%. And I don't post there anymore, even if someone is asking something I know the answer to. I would rather contribute on Lemmy and bring people into a FOSS, copyleft, non-corporate alternative.
