Depends in what field. Proton, at least, doesn’t scan your email contents and metadata to sell it on to advertisers.

Hi. So, not all of the software you use will work on Linux (which btw isn’t a company but to put it simply a family of open source operating systems sharing a common core):

  • Affinity don’t offer a Linux version so you will need to try something like WINE to run the Windows versions.

  • Blender will defo work, not sure about the others

  • Davinci will work, has a Linux version

  • VSCode has a Linux version

  • File explorers work.

Ubuntu sadly is not what it was.

I’d suggest Pop_OS or Fedora- I think Fedora used to have a media oriented “Fedora Design Suite” version.

Yes. I was wondering about the raw milk issue - if there is an upsurge of H5N1 in cows, possibly without farmers sometimes realising, other times fully knowing but ignoring it for whatever reason, then there will be a surge of H5N1 infections among those drinking unpasteurised milk.

So basically “pasteurisation was found to have worked”.

I am hosting stuff on OVH at the moment. Entry level package is around £1 / mo in the first year.

Why past tense? These remain far more useful than answer phones; or visual voicemail with AI transcription, or whatever. All the info you need, right there. The more I pay for digital services the more I am learning to appreciate how effective these are. Basically we are spending a fortune in development to replicate exactly these.

And here was I thinking locking up a murderer is for the protection of the public…

 

Hi guys,

So I've been experiencing a lot of issues lately with my Macbook losing WiFi after waking up from sleep. I have no idea what is causing it, it was never an issue until about 3 weeks ago when I started using an external monitor and a dock (but have no idea whether it is correlated).

Tried all the tricks I read online: Reset SMC, PRAM, remove all saved WiFi networks and locations, create new ones, reset router... The only thing that seems to fix it is if I reboot the Macbook.

I fiddled around with the Network settings and set the macbook to use "DHCP with Manual address" and that seems to give me partial connectivity: some apps will work, some won't. Some websites will load, some others won't.

Does anyone have a permanent fix for this? It's incredibly annoying that I step away from the workstation for 5 minutes, come back, and find that I have no internet again.
