Since murglar allows you to download and keep the music you are paying for, I’m pretty sure that’s completely illegal and could get you banned from the service

Which you’d then stop paying for

And turn to regular old piracy to get your music

…maybe someone at deezer, a service that isn’t even profitable, think that one a bit further, because I’m on murglar since forever (tho I don’t use it all the time, only when I need it)

No comment on that particular service, but I just checked Murglar 2 on my phone and it half-works, not everything is available to play / download but I’m not locked out either

Edit: I updated the app and it is much better, everything I tried downloads

What’s getting old is continuously asking for a Linux Drive client. I will keep on whining about it, probably until the end of my subscription.

So it is not sarcasm. As I, too, am getting old I just tend to repeat myself. A lot.

Mandatory “I want a Drive Client for Linux” comment. Why should I care about features I won’t be able to access out of a cumbersome web app without even a search tool?

Also, why should I since I won’t be renewing anyway.

If you use the config file generator from the Proton website, you can have a Wiregard config tailor-made to load in NetworkManager for instance. Or several with or without NAT, different exits and so on.

I don’t know how this isn’t widely known, it’s been there for a while.

I am a full Proton paying customer too. At the time of signup, a Drive Linux client was supposedly next in line… There’s zero mention of it now. I need a VPN IRL and wasn’t keen on relying on a free plan where I was used to pay for one anyway. Aaaand I planned to move my emails of course since it’s in the bundle.

I’d gladly uplift people and advocate for progress on the privacy and security fronts, invite world+dog to join but I can’t do it now in this situation. Linux users being underserved is how I feel.

Mandatory “I use Arch BTW” mention.

That Boss guy says it there, Linux customership is negligible. I was happy to switch to an ethical ecosystem, but at the end of the day Proton is a company that runs for profit.

Nevermind that this specific Linux customership is exponentially sensitive to privacy and security next to the average windows user, our money still doesn’t matter.

It’s… annoying. Drive is relegated to weekly Dead Stupid Backups while Dropbox gives me real filesharing, VPN is highly unstable next to my former… dare I mention it? Yes: next to NkrdVPN which was ultra reliable anywhere I went, and Mail is only used for the passmail obfuscation since I don’t think I’ll stay with proton and didn’t switch my main mail to it.

I’d be curious to know if the userbase of proton products reflects that of general statistics of OS’es repartition.

Reconcile these two axioms:

1. Every Lemmy out there is using (arch) linux exclusively, both at home and at work

2. Every post on c/linux is about ditching windows very soon and choosing the best linux distribution

That’s a Nobel Prize in (creative) mathematics right here!

Up/Down speed is my feeling, but “negotiations” between client and server too.

I never had the VPN app to work, I use the config file generator then set it up in NetworkMamager - which at least work all the time.

Done, you’re right

So slow and cumbersome. Sorry my benchmark is dropbox

I got it in my proton mailbox

https://form.typeform.com/to/L0UNpRar

The mail says “Limited submissions. Respond now to ensure your voice is heard.”

Go for it!

I answered “I want safeguards in place towards the purpose and final use of LLM’s output”.

The mail even says “Limited submissions. Respond now to ensure your voice is heard.”

Go for it!

Funny story the other way around: the year is 2002 and I live in Laos. Bootlegs Everything Galore, all movies games music cost $1 or about. I discover a game, and then begins a quest to buy The Real Version because it’s a small studio and I really like it all, the storytelling, the modding tools, the community… A quest that would end up in Bangkok looking like the proverbial insane foreigner looking for the most stupid way to spend his money.

I found it eventually, in a shop that didn’t look any different among all its brothers in Pantip Plaza. Took me a while lol.

You can also ask it when is the cutoff date of their database - there is a gentleman’s agreement between providers not to have ai involved in news / current politics in it’s public chats.

I tried them on a topic I’m pretty proficient on, (a spaghetti recipe lol) and the answer was the most bland imaginable.

The way it is setup by DDG, the restrictions and blandness, shallowness of the replies give me peace of.mind when a ‘natural language’ query is the easiest one. And Claude wouldn’t give me the DOB of that queen because it is Personal Info!

DDG has it’s non-track version online since a bit now. Use the !ai bang to get to it

Also you have the choice of Claude insted of ChatGPT, and your queries aren’t harvested for further ai training

In any case, it’s a completely different tab, it’s not mingled in general search results

I know everybody always grandly takes on the High Seas, sailing them with lots of "arrrr“ and stuff, but I’ve found that small, quick flowing rivers oftentimes do yield a good catch.
