I think the only thing to keep in mind is that Nvidias proprietary drivers work better for Linux whereas for AMD it is the open-source ones.
I have an Nvidia card and the prop. drivers have worked flawlessly for me for years.
I know the open source drivers are closing the gap for Nvidia, and they also seem to be playing ball on that front. But for AMD the open source drivers are definitely the way to go from what I understand.
This was already quite a significant challenge compared to socketed RAM, but now with Lunar Lake I guess this is simply impossible? The RAM chips are colocated with the CPU...
You only mention your laptop is running out of space so you need to get a new computer? does your laptop have a soldered SSD? If that's not the case, I think the reflex should first be to see what storage you can get your laptop so that you can keep using it rather than discarding it :(
im not sure this applies to Switzerland but Framework now allows freight forwarding within the EU it seems (it also seems recent as most older discussion says it was prohibited).

Also, I think a delivery to Switzerland is not too far out as they have finalized a keyboard layout a while ago and this is a necessary step before delivery.
(Notice how there is Sweden in that list which is now available for a laptop to order too officially).
I'm hoping these countries get expanded to soon!
i think they mean that signal on desktop does not encrypt their content at rest, which is acknowledged and not an issue they are intending on addressing.
But it seems to have recently changed? I'm learning thus as I wanted to find a source.

We had captchas to solve that a while ago. Turns out, some people are willing to be paid a miserable salary to solve the captchas for bots. How would this be different? The fact of being a human becomes a monetizable service which can just be rented out for automated systems. No "personhood" check can prevent this.
I think early last year they hyped some potential partnership to have a custom grapheneOS device, anyone know what happened to that?
I'm sorry, what? That does not make sense to me.
Would moving to a european country be within your considerations? Europe have stronger privacy laws and as a latin american (assumed) you have an easier entry through spain which offers some facilitated job market access. But I do concede that depending on how much you value your privacy, this may be an option out of question?
Youre right, thats how it works in almost all messaging apps. But signal implemented sealed sender specifically to counter this.
You can read more about it here: https://signal.org/blog/sealed-sender/
I encourage you to read the first paragraph, which is important in the context of our conversation.
Can you further explain? A red flag to open-source, federation and such, can't disagree. But to privacy and security? I'm not convinced.
I fully understand this to be a controversial take, but I think it is important to acknowledge that not all advertisement is the same. While I dislike all forms of advertisement, I only take issue with non ethical ones, which are based on surveillance. I don't have any ethical concern with contextual advertisement which is how some search engines provide advertisement, such as giving advertisement for food when searching for food.
But it is also critically important that extensions remain a part of the browser, to give a certain level of control to the person navigating the web instead of just allowing any website to freely track our activities.
I don't know what the path forward is for Mozilla. Google is unlikely to be able to fund Mozilla the way it has until now as a recent ruling which has deemed google as a monopolistic actor clawing at its default status everywhere it can. This was a major founding source for Mozilla. They need to figure out financing and while it is easy to criticize, we must also recognize the challenge it is to give sustainable and important funding sources to Mozilla. I really wish I had an answer... Can it somehow depend exclusively on its users for donations? Should It sell support services? Should it branch into more lucrative areas? If yes, which ones? It may need to be a combination thereof but for now, I'm personally blinded. We need to get together on this, because if we can't help Mozilla, can we help anyone who might fall into this situation?
