I guess I'll just add them to my mental list of companies to avoid.

๐Ÿ˜† mental ?! I already have my list in my browser bookmarks

VC funded, not exactly a community project, I'm skeptical, and worried about it's future

It's my go to messenger, idc about the crypto stuff, it's just a way to reward volunteers who use their servers for all the mathematical conversions, and I have been thinking of running a node myself, to make the network more decentralized

It has some downsides though, you can't send larger files than 8mb, and if you lose your recovery phrase, you're compromised, and you can't edit messages

I used to tell people to use Signal or Element, but I noticed many can't even sign up, Session just generates a random ID for you, and voila..

Oh, I never heard of this one before, it certainly meets the criteria, I read the documentation to understand it more

yes, the developer seem very opinionated :|

Idk if FDE is enough, what if the attacker can modify the boot code to capture the decryption keys and other stored passwords ? as far as I know this is exactly what secure boot protects against, it checks the validity of the boot code using the TPM chip, if it's already there, why don't most distros use it ? instead you'll see that secure boot is greyed out in the Bios ( which means it's not supported )

and yes, I did lock down the Bios too, with a different password

Edit: I'll check EndevourOS documentation, Mint is cool but it doesn't adobt newer standards or newer kernels ( newer kernels are just much more secure )

Storyboarder ( but I haven't tried it yet ) it seems geared towards 2D animators

Sketchup is paid software, the web version is free but extremely limited

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I have used Sketchup for more than 4 years, and after looking around for Alternatives to use on Linux, the only thing that can do the job is Blender, it's not just for animations and 3D printing, in fact blender can do anything you can imagine, if not by itself, then by the addition of addons

Out of the box, Blender doesn't behave like Sketchup, but it can do so by enabling some preinstalled addons ( like Archimech, Measure it, Precision Drawing Tools, Stored Views, Auto Mirror.. Etc ), also there are free and paid addons on the Blender Market

For modeling Blender is waaay more powerful than Sketchup ( but SU is much more simpler and I find myself using Addons - in SU - for the stuff I can do in Vanilla Blender directly )

For Printing: they both suck ( in a paper printing use case ), if you wanna print in Blender you'll need to export to a 3rd party program like Inkscape or LibreCAD, or use an addon

Sketchup printing is just painful, save a view, save the file, fire up Layout, import view, then print...like why ?!!
