If you're seriously concerned about privacy and security I wouldn't look at Threema. They severely mishandled vulnerabilities by insulting the security researchers, then introduced a new protocol they built with the advice given to them for free from the SAME researchers before that, and yet it still doesn't support critical features like full forward secrecy. If all you want primarily is the best security out there Signal is and will be the best for a long time to come by the looks of it.

Yea no, CarPlay is definitely supported and works fine on my end. Not sure, any iOS updates perhaps or anything of the sorts? The app shows fine in the customisation menu, but did you ever connect to the car since installing it? I have no idea if the apps maybe only show up once they were „initialised“ for that car.

My understanding is, that the 1.0 spec for the extension was basically finalized in 2021 and CPUs using it are already available. Now it's just fully ratified. Also, while it might seem like RISC-V is “behind” compared to AVX-512 for x86_64 or SVE for ARM, this fundamentally differs from these SIMD Instructions. They talk more about it in this article SIMD Instructions Considered Harmful. So, this is not merely RISC-V playing catch-up, but also trying a “new” (the idea is actually old and how things used to be done) ways to make a more sustainable ISA.

I'm not sure that Proton can fix your problem. However, I feel like this project would love your help with capturing the USB traffic to get it supported and hopefully upstreamed in the kernel some day :)

That's why Tenacity is here to save the day!

Great, that sounds amazing. Let's hope it's also used even if it means less excises for tracking.

Could the new CHIPS functionality help websites like Microsoft Teams working without you having to enable third-party cookies for their websites? If I understood it correctly this might be exactly the kinda use case but I couldn't find anything specific online.

I looked at some info for reporting this to the kernel developers but the process is too complicated at the time. I'm currently a bit short on time but I did report it to libinput, maybe they can give pointers where exactly to report this.

On Mastodon they said there will be a blog post outlining the changes. That will probably be out tomorrow because that's when alpha 2 officially launches.

Well, with NTFS, there isn't. That's why I said, BTRFS is definitely the better choice for games. Never had issues with two shared drives in over two years now with WinBTRFS.

I've been using WinBTRFS for quite some time without issues. It seems a lot of people recommend NTFS. But be aware, if you plan on using it for things like games, NTFS will absolutely break at some point. It is not compatible with Proton and will break things like updates for Steam. It always has for me up until very recently. Valve also says the same about using NTFS for games. I'm not sure this can be fixed with the NTFS driver unless they do workarounds like renaming things automatically because some things Proton does are not compatible with the filesystem spec.

What about Tauri? I don't know what exactly your app is but since you mentioned Electron as an option I guess Tauri could run it. Offers more choice for frontend frameworks hence less „language lock-in“ than Qt.
