Yeah me neither. I don’t think they understand the consequences of their own actions either. All that matters to them is “USA bad, <random pro Palestinian country> good”. They’d probably also burn down the fields in a country they import their food from.

First of all: Sorry to hear that, this sucks!

Regarding your digital information: I’d suggest you to get a new email and gradually replace the old one in your accounts to avoid spam. Even though they claim your password wasn’t stolen, I’d highly suggest you to change your passwords anyway, just in case. Also, as they say, be very careful about potential phishing attacks.

As for your personal information such as your address: I’m afraid there’s not much you can do. I’d argue, however, that it’s not as valuable to potential hackers. One potential scam involving stolen addresses is sending purchases made with a stolen credit card to your address and asking you to forward it. Don’t accept deliveries you didn’t expect for this reason (depending on your local law it may lead to criminal charges against you, even though you’re still technically the victim of a scam).

It Feels Almost Like Android… But It Isn’t

So what is it?

You’re right. Also the other way around the new Kotlin frameworks needed can’t easily be used in a Java codebase. I mean on bytecode level they’re compatible but it’s basically impossible in practice

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way…

Even if degoogled, Chromium still does a poor job at protecting your privacy.

Why would you want to delete all vaults anyway

If they had an office suite available there wouldn’t be a need for another OS/Linux distribution imho. Polish the existing products and any Linux distribution should do the trick for you, most of them already are very privacy and security focused.

Maybe that’s because of your extremely niche hardware vendor not providing appropriate drivers for their hardware?! Honestly, I read your salty comments under this post and your kind of attitude really pisses me off. Don’t like the experience? Totally fine, don’t use Linux and move on. Linux, for the most part, is FOSS software so feel free to contribute to it instead of complaining about things being broken. Linux is also free in terms of cost. So quite frankly, the developers of your distribution of choice owe you nothing.

I personally use both a local password manager (KeepassXC) and a cloud based manager. The “critical credentials” as well as 2fa recovery codes and such go into the local vault. Critical passwords are for example the ones for mail providers, encryption keys for backups etc. which allow me to recover my accounts in an emergency. The rest goes into the cloud manager for convenience.

I don’t see any need for BlueSky at all when there already is a great network in the form of Mastodon. I mean all (most) of the ideas you mentioned apply one-to-one to Mastodon as well. To me they have very similar ideas.
