Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor
  • E2EE would be nice, but what's your idea of open standard for collaboration as opposed to simply open source?

    If we had multiple software solutions implementing the same ways of collaborating what would be gained / in what ways would they differentiate and still remain compatible?

  • As open components, we have the OpenDocument standard + signal protocol for E2EE + CRDTs for conflict resolution. No idea whether they're compatible though.

    As a product, Collabora Online is open and collaborative.

  • Telegram says it has 'about 30 engineers'; security experts say that's a red flag
  • so it's a concern for the company, not the users, you're saying?

  • Exactly. At this point idk why anyone bothers migrating to things that are not backed by open standards. The price of vendor lock-in always comes.

  • don't have to tell me that, I even donate to signal

  • “Without end-to-end encryption, huge numbers of vulnerable targets, and servers located in the UAE? Seems like that would be a security nightmare,” Matthew Green, a cryptography expert at Johns Hopkins University, told TechCrunch. (Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn disputed this, saying it has no data centers in the UAE.)

    good job Remi, that was the main concern lmao

  • Why is Google launching the Pixel 9 so early?
  • tl;dr: AI + competition

    Utilizing the otherwise quiet month of August gives Google a chance to show off new AI ideas on Pixel ahead of Apple’s next iPhones which, now, look to be packed with “Apple Intelligence.”

  • What are your plans for when the Milky Way galaxy collides with Andromeda?
  • There's a good chance the solar system (or another star system) will be yeeted from milkdromeda, so I guess I'll move to another star. But who knows if I'll afford one with a billion-year scale inflation.

    I review Github Copilot Workspaces and it doesn't go well.

    > GitHub Copilot Workspace didn't work on a super simple task regardless of how easy I made the task. I wouldn't use something like this for free, much less pay for it. It sort of failed in every way it could at every step.

    Plasma 6 Wayland + NVIDIA

    I've just upgraded to Plasma 6 on EndeavourOS and X11 works, but booting on Wayland via SDDM gives me a blank screen. The display enters power saving mode and switching to a TTY doesn't wake it up.

    Anyone else having this problem, or with a workaround suggestion?

    NVIDIA Driver 550.54.14-4 Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.7.8-arch1-1 (64-bit)

    Uplay games on Linux

    I'd like to try the new Assassin's Creed and Avatar, but they're not on Steam - which is how I play almost every other game on Linux. I know I might be able to install Uplay games using Lutris, but I'm not sure if the experience is as smooth as Steam + Proton.

    Do you have any experience with Ubisoft + Lutris? Is there an equivalent to ProtonDB to have an idea how well a game runs?
