You have those rights as a human not as an IG user.
As IG user you have only one right, to say "yes" to any changes they want and to obey to the algorithm of banning and censoring. You don't have any right if you can't enforce it. They can ban end censor your opinion and can enforce this right, you can't do anything about it. You are the product they're selling after all and they care about you in terms of as much revenue you can generate on this particular platform (macro picture of user retention).
My point is you're not a customer after all. IG customers are advertisers. Why advertisers wouldn't be happy with a new change?
We do try to improve products we use but in this story unfortunately you don't have a voice because if you're not an advertiser. Think about how much ads you need to sell to earn 1B back at least and sustain operating expenses especially when you're not trying to be lean with your resources.
I absolutely adore new experience, it's facebook after all. You can't do it on facebook and now on instagram. I didn't use these products for a long time but IG was definitely moving to that direction.
Can't get why some users don't like the change. You're free to decide should you use a product or not. To put it from other perspective, you choose to become a product for instagram to sell or not. If you don't have an account, it's hard to earn more from your time spent in the app. Billions doesn't ROI themselves.
Old web is still there, forums/personal websites isn't banned. You still can do things the old decentralised way probably to a greater extent because internet is even bigger now.
In general there is a simple rule: either usability or security.
All general consumer grade tools are fighting with this equation: How can we make an app which will appeal to the broad audience which will be easy to use.
I can't say anything about signal but in general if something is easy to use and you can chat super secure with your grandma then most likely it isn't secure how you might think it is and it's actually an issue because you may want to send data which otherwise you wouldn't if you know you're on compromised channel.
Sharing history between e2e encrypted devices is a tricky thing because you should have forward security with some ratchet keys.
You can choose only one. Otherwise I can't see how it would be end-to-end encrypted. Your devices should create some sort of a group chat to make this work.
Group chats have large enough attack surface and "end-to-end encryption" will create false sense of security.
> Instead of keeping things quiet, manufacturers focus on making laptops thin enough to replace a knife
They focus on what customers want. If they want 10 cores 5mm thick notebooks, they'll get it. It'll be noisy but who cares. It'll be used to like facebook posts anyways. Professions will buy stationary computers for the heavy lifting anyways.
T440 is an awesome machine although X1 is more popular, which is kind of slender version of t440.
Laptops isn't designed for serious workloads. It's a small portable devices to hash some errands at starbucks. You can't change physics laws unfortunately to make all the heat disappear somewhere.
Keep in mind Intel marketing as well which advertises CPU with way less heat than they expose in real life.
The way you have this machines is because apple is commercial company and they should follow market demands.
"10 cores", "silent": you can only choose one.
If you want a reliable silent machine, use the proper tool for the job. I.e. mac mini / imac. There is the only way to get proper cooling. You can't have silent cooling in your laptop. Especially if it's "a top spec".
Unless if ISP positions itself as rigid security service devoted to provide you security features and some famous people recommend using it in order to transfer sensitive documents.
Could you please explain to me why Signal is the superior messaging platform?
I can't understand why it requires ID/passport from you to use it. I guess if you want to use an encrypted messaging platform then you don't want it to be tied to the government issued ID.
p.s. you phone number is tied you your ID, so it's basically your ID
As you mentioned you're comfortable with vi, Spacemacs probably should be a good start although I think it kind of overloaded. Doom emacs should be a better/lighter option to start with till you ready to create your own edition.
I suggest don't go full inside but start slowly incorporating emacs into your workflow.
If you write code then using emacs only for git via magit for the first couple of weeks should be a good start (while reading some emacs related book in parallel).
Then try to experiment with the org mode, this thing alone might get you on the hook to be productive with the tool.
If you like the experience then I suggest you to consider buying ergonomic keyboard like ergodox/maltron/kinesis advantage to improve your typing.
What was your behaviour couple of years ago? Have you worked overtime? Did you have older colleagues that time?
The answer is simple. If you don't want to work overtime then don't do it and see what will happen. Most likely nothing.
Think about how you can deliver move value to the company by working smart instead of putting more hours (hint: automate your job, try to bring new clients).
I would not bother to host email service for one user. You have to keep up with all updates and vulnerabilities on daily basis.
You don't have enough volume as well and it increases your chances to be marked as a spam. Self-hosting is quite pricey because you have to care about your IP reputation (and you can't really gain any reputation if you send couple of emails). You can't use cheap VPS providers because most likely IPs from them will be marked as increased chances of spam.
If you really want to go with the self-hosting route, configure your server to accept email but when you send, send it through large email providers like sendgrid/amazon ses or so.
I would advise you to enlarge your education in agriculture space especially growing potato species. It will be helpful and relaxing at the same time. Fresh air is good for your health as well alongside with physical exercises.
At least if domain is not dissolved you can restore your access later. Nothing is perfect, at least with your own domain you have some rights. Good luck getting your account after google algorithm decided to suspend it or company goes rage.
Here is what you need to do to prevent such events in the future:
- Use password manager with the master password at least 16 characters long (it makes brute forcing activity economically unreasonable)
- Change passwords on all your accounts and setup 2FA
- If you use cloud providers for enterprises, always setup limits and notifications, also you have to purchase paid support (it costs around 100 to 500 per month) to talk with human when something happens
- Can't afford the paid support? Probably you should reconsider the need for enterprise cloud provider and something like linode/DO will be good enough for your goals
- Consider paying for your email and setting up a custom domain to control your identity
