Etter å ha prøvd 8(!) forskjellige Linux-baserte operativsytemer, fant eg endelig en som fungerte uten problemer på dataen min (Linux Mint 22.2 💚)

Med alt som skjer med Windows no (og Microsoft for den del), so kjennast det veldig godt å kunne gå inn i 2026 uten det 😌
Minner meg om da et besøkende​ familiemedl​em var innom romm​et mitt. På dataskjermen min stod det et tall: 15%. De lurte på hva tallet betydde​; jeg sa​ at tallet viste hvor mye av internettrafikken vår som ble blokkert fordi det var unødig datainnsamlingstrafikk. "Jeg vil også ha slik blokkering!" svarte de.

Der og da gikk det​ opp for meg at dette er en luksus som ofte er forbeholdt datakyndige.
This was a really refreshing post! I seldom see a company compare themselves with a competitor in such an honest, and down to earth, manner.
Wanted to chime in and say that local backups together with Nextcloud on Android is very straight forward :D. I just configured Signal to backup to a specific folder on my phone, then configured Nextcloud to auto-upload that folder to my Nextcloud-server :)

🚨 Google is killing Android freedom.

Starting 2027, unverified apps can’t be side-loaded.

➡️ F-Droid harder to install
➡️ Custom APKs blocked
➡️ Google decides what runs on YOUR phone

Google’s Android is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

It’s time to switch to open alternatives: Graphene, Calyx, Lineage. ✊

Who will go to the competition? Existing users, or new potential customers? If it's the latter, why not be satisfied with the user base you already have? Is Black Friday such a huge impact on this market?

Sales strategies like these always left me with a sour taste, which was why I was happy to read the blog post @stalpomi is referring to, when it originally came out. And why i love the pricing strategy of @mullvadnet

Anyways, I hope you don't let unnecessary growth and profit overrule pre-existing stances.
Small correction: .com is not the country code TLD of USA, but a generic TLD intended for COMmercial use. The country code TLD of USA is .us
Will the new features be available for people on the old Premium plan (1 EUR)? Or do we need to upgrade to the Revolutionary plan (3 EUR)?
Yepp. Problemet er at man må selge fondene, så blir en dyr overgang hahaha 🤪 Men de fondene skal jo bli solgt en eller annen gang uansett så...
Og jeg får den selvfølgelig ikke til å fungere på DivestOS 🙃
