*A formerly chill laid back community up until someone posted it on Lemmy 😀
I was comparing frozen diced veggies a couple of years back (in Australia) and noticed that the store-brand version was approximately 1/3 broccoli stems by volume, which certainly explained the cost difference.
That is the discussion. Microsoft is pretending by making it the upgrade path for two products which actually are local, and hoping users won't notice.
Honestly I'm glad they highlighted the telemetry. I went through the local report about what's included and while it's not an upsetting level of detail, it's more comprehensive than I would have opted in to if asked.
Still, as sibling points out it's in a completely different league from slurping up your IMAP creds, something which has always been local-only data. This is the second time I know of recently where MS has trampled on this kind of local-only expectation - the other was Edge defaulting to sending the contents of textboxes you're filling out on webpages to the MS cloud for spelling and grammar checks. Thunderbird is still a sound recommendation, and unlike Microsoft, I trust that if I uncheck the telemetry box they're not going to try to get me some other way.
Can confirm - a comment I made to a lemmy.world community around an hour ago hasn't shown up on that server yet.
Edit to add: looks like this post correlates with when I was logged out of my session, and I see we're on a newer version than before. Probably something not quite right from the upgrade?
Nothing in tech stands still. If you want a glimpse of a possible alternative future check out Pijul. And I don't know an example off-hand but the idea of doing version control on ASTs of program code rather than flat text is an interesting concept that hasn't taken off yet.
I’d rather go to the local library and ask the clerk for a search term
Sounds kind of relaxing tbh
You're putting yourself in a tough position by asking for both E2EE and the ability to use from a browser. You have to trust the web app each time you open the page, and hope that they haven't altered the deal to simply grab your data after it's been decrypted by your password. I have no idea how likely it is that Standard Notes would do that but I'd reconsider the browser requirement specifically if E2EE is non-negotiable for you - an offline open source client program would be a much stronger position.
For my money, I use local text files and SyncThing but it's probably not spiffy enough for many people/purposes.
Sitting there watching with satisfaction as MSDOS 6.22 DEFRAG.EXE did its thing.
It's best not to think of SDF admins in binary terms like "present" or "absent". They are an undulating force which makes changes here and there and we're all along for the ride.
