There are aspects about cultures which can be fascinating, not (only) because they are foreign and new, but because dedicated and intelligent people have been improving them for generations, centuries even. I have a friend who is from Korea and who is a wood worker, and we have compared the different approaches to what, in the end, solves the same problems. Not everything can be incorporated into the other way of doing things, but I have found it eye-opening. My brain still tries to find ways, comparing, like a constant ping. Maybe one needs to dedicate 100% to the new way for a while to understand it fully before a genius brain would be able to find the spark how to meld both methods into a single improved Way of Doing Things (tm).
The Android build is a re-branded (and some might say, crippled) K-9 Mail, which AFAIR did not support NNTP. Adding it might be more work than they are willing to do.
Nothing against that per se, false alarms should be kept in check.
If you have a system where, as I understand it, the main point is to check who is standing in front of your door, and that system now is one automatic update away from dipping into your bank account... How long until the police departments figure out that donations to a specific company could be very profitable?
Slight tangent: on top of that, I just read an article yesterday (which of course I can't find again right now) about how false automatic alarms from such cameras will incur a fee from the owners when the Police comes to check it out. It was from somewhere in Texas.
It happens everywhere, not only in the middle east, not only with religion. People who crave control rise to the top, apply tight control to stay there, kill creativity in the process.
And so, instead of having an open port for ssh, (ideally) with certificate-only authentication, optionally MFA, you trade it for an open port for tailscale/wireguard, handing over "all" your data to a company who is offering you a service for no monetary compensation.
Also, why do you think that it is better to not change the root password? It sounds like a very suspicious recommendation.
Swiss here, and I do not agree. We used to be able to trust our government, but more and more, as the years go by, tech-savvy people realize how laws have accumulated into surveillance.
Now there are much worse cases out there, sure. But most Swiss citizens are not even aware of those laws.
Nor are they aware of how much the Swiss government has been trying to hide its incompetence regarding anything IT-related. Like data leaks happening several times per year.
So yes, a big percentage of those almost 50% of "no we don't want this" responses were about lack of trust in the different branches of the government.
Looking at the examples on the website, I can see the appeal regarding the input.
The output makes my head slightly dizzy - not sure why, but like the letters are all slightly off, in both dimensions. Is it just me, or the font/screen combination, or did it occur to anyone else also?
