Yes exactly, my potentially hot take is that twenty years from now we'll look at immutability as the tipping point that sent Linux mainstream on desktop.

I think Fedora Kinoite is the best distro for someone coming from Windows due to KDE's flexibility and similarity to Windows and it's immutability. Default Ubuntu is great for people familliar with MacOS, and it can even be themed to be basically indistinguishable.

Signal is more like WhatsApp, Element/Matrix is aiming to be more like Telegram or Discord.

The best todo list I found is Vikunja which syncs with Tasks.org app, but it can't handle reminders well and doesn't work with Google assistant.

I think it's crazy that Keep out of of all the Google apps is without a 1:1 replacement.

Unless you're driving a vehicle from the 20th century, the car itself is going to be tracking significantly more information than even the most nefarious possible use of something in the picture.

I doubt that what OP was talking about.

It's so weird how any time someone mentions Signal, Proton, or other convenient privacy-focused alternatives to big tech someone on Lemmy will magically appear to say "No, don't!"

No need to apologize! Of course I will believe you, an anonymous internet account discouraging use of a well-audited privacy service.

What is the complaint about Proton? I feel like they went out of their way to make the transition from Google as seamless as possible.

Is this voice assistant something I can install on Android? I didn't realize there was any alternative to Google or Siri (or Bixby).
