Recommend Veracrypt.

Or Luks which is well integrated with Linux. Are there significant advantages with Veracrypt?

3? I understand it’s a start, but it’s not so impressive.

I’m more interested in actual user feedback because a product like that is quite an ambitious use case and advertised as ready to use with tons of features.

Who actually tried this?

Open source is not only about publishing code: it’s about quality, verifiable, reproducible code at work. If LLMs can’t do that, those “vibe coding” projects will hit a hard wall. Still, it’s quite clear they badly impact the FOSS ecosystem.

Oops 🫩. It’s the EU’s anti-circumvention law.

Source:

The European Commission claims to promote open source and freedom from foreign tech abuses, etc. It now seeks feedbacks from communities: “Towards European open digital ecosystems”.

It seems to be perfect timing for getting rid of that article 6 which turns

Not sure i understand the idea taking over an open source project when one can contribute or even fork it.

Anyway, it looks like France is quite Open Source friendly. For ex. the “DINUM” (gov. IT agency) has quite a few FOSS projects, finally could support financially Matrix, and there’s also quite a push for open data (https://www.data.gouv.fr/). About surveillance i suppose it’s quite bad indeed, but i don’t think it matters if the software has a licence like AGPL.

Finally, i doubt there’s a safe haven for privacy nowadays, but please prove me wrong :)

As i understand, Linux is under a license (GPL) which explicitly prevents closing the reuse of its code. So it’s all about legal interpretation of “reuse” and so far the GPL stands up against abuses. I suppose that a company specifically targeting the source code for the intend of creating another OS might need to hire more lawyers than developers with far from certain results. But who knows, in a world where billions $ are free as soon as “AI” is mentioned in a business plan.

AI as a tool for unleashing the devastating power of unregulated capitalism against its enemies, what a brilliant coup by the techbros and banksters. Not to mention the actual breakdown of community sites by AI scrapers, mostly using dirty botnet hacking techniques. This poison will eat itself one way or another. The question is: what can we do to make this happen sooner than later?

Those figures are just as virtual as the “success” of these fools. Sadly the damage done by this gigantic bubble is already very concrete, but its explosion might have terrible consequences for a lot of honest people.

A bit of patience, the burst of that bubble is coming… (https://www.forbes.com/sites/petercohan/2025/10/15/ai-bubble-may-pop---wiping-out-40-trillion-learn-what-could-happen-and-what-to-do/)

This article is so bad, take it with a pinch of salt. There’s a very long history of bogus announcements around Aadhaar, governments (remember it was introduced by Congress in the name of anti-corruption) pushing it down the throat of people despite Supreme Court rulings that it cannot be compulsory.

But in India maybe more than in most places, so many people seem to believe this is a good thing to comply to such stupid use of the worst technologies, as long as the can showcase their shiny latest smartphones.
