Even if this was local and privacy friendly, I don't know anyone within my circle who stores their photos on their desktops or laptops anymore. I use Immich and most people I know use Google Photos or iCloud — basically mobile devices.

Adding this feature just adds to the bloat and its Microsoft — you can't trust them.

Did you tdy it with Kvantum? It has an option to enable blur with kvantum themes. For Konsole you have to edit your current profile>appearance.

Never was a ricer — this was my first try without any prior experience in manually ricing so I kept it pretty simple using an existing KDE store theme.

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • DE: KDE Plasma
  • Theme: Ant-Dracula with Kvantum
  • Adjusted the panels and the widgets here and there and done.

OP is confusing privacy with anonymity.

Nowhere is this more visible outside Palestine than in India, where 200 million Muslims are being pushed to the edge of extermination by the RSS-BJP regime. Under Narendra Modi, Islamophobia has been weaponised not as fringe hate but as state ideology.

I can’t speak for other parts of the world but I can for the Indian subcontinent.

I’m an atheist, and personally, I try not to judge anyone based on their religion — it generally works well, especially with upper and upper middle class communities. From my experience, upper class Muslims are usually integrated into society and not involved in shady activities.

I also don’t agree with government policies that discriminate against people based on religion like requiring proof of ancestry after Independence because such policies are unjust and target citizens unfairly.

That said, I do have concerns about certain practices in some lower income communities in India. Poverty, limited education and social isolation can make people more vulnerable to radical messaging. Madrasas (which btw are even attended by children younger than teenagers) teach extreme ideas, like framing conversion as a duty or promoting a black and white worldview. In rare cases, this can lead some individuals to embrace jihadist ideology or commit illegal acts in the name of religion. Social media can further amplify these messages. While most Muslims are peaceful, certain forms of radicalisation especially among vulnerable Islamic populations can be more organised and aggressive compared to similar movements in other major religions.

So even the propaganda by our right wing government is exaggerated, it does have some truth to it. It can be solved by eliminating all religious education in pre-teen ages and criminalising parents for forcing that type of education on children.

Joplin for sure. But I personally use Obsidian because of the UI. I sync it with my server using Syncthing. All devices are synced to the server and not with each other so I have one source of Truth.

For that you need to first receive the income and book the capital gains. If you ever filed your taxes you would know. A 3% wealth tax on non cash assets would be more effective and productive. There are provisions where if you take out a home loan, you can deduct its interest from your salary or income to reduce your tax liability. Billionaires (or even the middle class) do that often. This builds assets as well as allows for a lower tax liability.

Yep. Behind Nginx Proxy Manager and for external access, I use Pangolin on VPS to reverse tunnel to my Home.

I used to pay for Ente as well but then I tried Immich & IMO is just so much better. It is THE Google Photos alternative with almost all the features. And as you said, you can get encryption with LUKSing your drive or partitions. I have automated my backups so I am pretty much at ease especially after the stable release.
