The official Proton client or Open VPN with Proton credentials?

Great explanation. Quick follow up question.

One thing I necessarily will want to install is Proton VPN*. Per their website,

Our app officially supports the latest stable Ubuntu LTS version running the GNOME desktop environment. It should work on most distributions based on Ubuntu, but we haven’t tested them and therefore do not officially support them.

This makes it sound like it will only work on gnome DE and implies it won’t work on Ubuntu with KDE (for example)

*ok, so I’m also aware that you can use Proton VPN through open vpn somehow but for the purposes of my understanding of distribution vs DE, let’s just ignore that for now.

I have installed and used Ubuntu in the past. Now I’m exploring a project that uses a raspberry pi and I’m running into terms that I don’t know how to distinguish between.

This article is conflating terms that I need help distinguishing between. The other commenter mentioned that Ubuntu is a type of Debian but this article lists Debian and Ubuntu as distributions.

Awesome. Thank you. So I understand why a debian package wouldn’t work on Fedora, but are there Kubuntu packages that wouldn’t work on Lubuntu? Otherwise is there “Kedora” and “Ludora”?

I tried it a while ago but found the predictions were bad. Maybe I’ll give it another shot

Yeah, it’s been on and to answer questions below, no it doesn’t affect my battery.

I’m having small problems like suggesting capitalized words in the middle of a sentence and suggesting capitalized words as a different word than the non capitalized ones. Like it’ll suggest “That” in the middle of a sentence and also “that” at the same time, so two of the three slots are taken up.

I’m trying really hard to not revert back to Swiftkey (again, as I do every time I run out of patience with a new privacy respecting keyboard), and I don’t even use swipe typing. I’m still hoping that the more I type the better the predictions will get but after using it for a few months I feel like I’m just adapting to bad predictions rather than the predictions getting better.

No one is moving off Signal, don’t listen to him

Aren’t they all Safari anyway?

After looking at the article about why not to use Signal it sounds like you’re looking for any excuse no matter how small to not use something. If that’s the case you might as well not communicate with anyone at all.

What if I just never connected it to the internet?

Because p is print. Also it’s super convenient right next to c

Well I suspect the custom stuff that I’m going to design will be utilitarian in nature rather than artistic- replacement parts, organizational stuff, a little attachment to something, etc. So I’ll want precise measuring tools. If I print something more artistic, I’ll probably rely on models that already exist, like DnD minis or something.

Like when new people join, they know they’re in the right place

I got the 30 day free trial of Plasticity and I’m a few days into it. I don’t know if I’ll be able to learn enough in 30 days to accurately assess if I’ll ultimately get my $150 worth out of it but so far some YouTube tutorials are promising.

On the other hand though it is nice to have a common name. Like I’m in a group with the other parents of kids at my kid’s daycare. Sometimes you want the name to be common, sometimes you want it to be individual.

Honestly it’s kind of annoying. I want to name the chat after their relationship to me. Coming up with something that we all have in common with each other is a lot harder

Yeah I’ve been thinking about this. The group chat with my inlaws is called “PIL” for parents in law. I’ll have to come up with something else. But there are so many iterations of family groups chats. Parents in law, parents, siblings, siblings in law, and every combo thereof
