I’m using them already! Actually mentioned in the post body, too:

So far I like disroot a lot. But they are principled about being unpaid, so if the financial ends don’t meet each other my emails will be in trouble. I’m donating to them, but I have my worries. I’m willing to pay a little if I know that my money will go for a quality service, for expansion of coverage (new users) and for open-source technologies.

But I’m also wary of continuity in case of financial struggles, hence this post. Maybe I should just wait out the current struggle with the failing disk and hope they will continue to operate on donations as they successfully have been for years and years… In any case, I’d like to know the alternatives, too.

For me personally, this quote was insightful:

When someone shows you who they are, believe them

That being said, man, you’ve just paid them. Of course I’d also not just jump overboard all of a sudden.

Yes, that’s the best way to look at it! :)

Come to think of it, I’ve been using Linux since about 2006. So I guess I’ll celebrate 20 years of Linux on my Desktop :)

Great! Would be happy to learn more about that in the future as well

If thinking about zed, Gram is a mandatory mention. https://gram.liten.app/

I’ve literally registered with them yesterday. Seems nice so far, worth exploring further.

Thanks for sharing! Good post, totally worth the read.

And I know which company to stay away from, and will solidly recommend this to others as well.

This seemingly was a mistake with Linux’s second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman responding to each report asking about their submission to the public mailing list.

I hope that was not AI automation, with him being a lover and a loud public advocate of it.

EDIT: we’ve misread the text. It wasn’t a mistake by Greg, but merely that he was the one to reply. Nobody directed Trend Micro to the public mailing list, they did it by themselves (as far as we know).

Could you please explain a bit, do you mean that otherwise your bluetooth device would not auto-connect to both devices?

I mean, you probably can’t use them simultaneously anyway?
