Oh wow, I had blocked out the virtual box guest additions debacle/shake-down from my memory. It almost felt like entrapment, the way they went about it.

The file browser looks like windows. But the top bar is very Mac like, maybe if you put a start menu it would help. But to get a windows feel, you'll need the start menu, application window bars, and the status info all at the bottom (default windows).

Cinnamon is a much more Windows look and feel DE.

Nice, thanks for being open to suggestions. It's hard to get columnar data to be responsive on mobile. Not sure if there are any card layout type css libraries that are compatible with tables.

Again, thanks for the cool project!

After reading that post and the linked github issues, with the latest updates and comments from the last 24 hours. Here's the TL;DR:

  • This is only relevant if you want to use an email client with Proton Bridge.
  • If you're just using Proton for encryption and signing (you can use the same PGP outside of proton too) then there is no issue at all.
  • If you want an external tool (like a hardware yubikey) to decrypt your messages that someone else has sent to you using the public key that corresponds to the external tool there will be signature validation shenanigans. This is because Proton expects to be the only entity doing any encryption.This is an important issue for those that need to send encrypted emails (and signatures) with specific keys.
  • It is not an issue for anyone using Proton email for a secure email service even if they want to use an external email client on desktop (like Thunderbird) with Proton Bridge.

Please correct me if I missed something.

Cool project! Would be awesome if it had a mobile layout. Thanks for sharing!

Look here buster that was a stretch at best!

gnome-initial-setup will default to displaying the toggle as enabled, even though the underlying setting will initially be disabled. (The underlying setting will not actually be enabled until the user finishes the privacy page, to ensure users have the opportunity to disable the setting before any data is uploaded.)

I see what they're saying here and how they're trying to give users options for users to opt-out before "accidentally" sharing data.

We are not interested in opt-in metrics. To make this a little more confusing, metrics collection is actually separate from uploading. Collection is always initially enabled, while uploading is always initially disabled. The graphical toggle enables or disables both at the same time.

Given all this I have even lower confidence that the opt-out will be bug free, especially over time. If the settings are separate then why just one toggle? If it were separate, I might want to collect then inspect the data and maybe even choose to share (or use the data myself some other way).

Few users would opt in...

Well yes, if it's all my way or the highway. I understand that this is a tough problem to solve and a tougher one to message correctly. Hopefully someone will figure it out one day.

Are you using it with VOIP hardware? Any softphone/mobile client you'd recommend?

Nice! What SIP app are you using on mobile?
