oh that’s sad. I mostly switched out of proton bc I didn’t want to put all my eggs in one basket. Also, not having IMAP sucksss because both the official proton and tuta apps are SLOW

also, check out some of the firefox forks. I personally really like Floorp since it lets me put the tab bar at the bottom and customise the UI! Librewolf is also decent but some of its privacy anti-fingerprinting stuff makes it a bit annoying to use

onlyoffice is also a pretty good option for ms office compatibility

i think he wants a rec for a linux distro

gmail -> proton or tuta if you don’t care about IMAP, or any other decent email provider (I use disroot, I set my brother up with mailfence, they both seem quite good. I use them with thunderbird) pycharm -> not an IDE, but I like VSCodium (vscode without MS)

ah that makes sense

makes sense, using WiFi with those frequencies would make it noisy and clogged up, esp. in crowded cities

why is it called the “H2D” anyways? What does the H mean? What’s the D for? It can’t mean 3D, because the number before it is 2, not a 3.

that makes sense. regulations and such over radio waves

shouldn’t the arrow be pointing down?

ah that makes sense.

Ah so the stuff in between that has things like radio stations?

Is it due to cost? Does adding more frequencies increase the cost? (maybe that’s why WiFi 6E and 7 routers are so expensive)

Or is it because of compatibility? It would be more difficult to get everyone to agree on so many different wireless frequencies.

Or maybe it’s because of interference? Maybe adding things in between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz would make the network harder to read as things like 3Ghz, 4Ghz, etc. are too close to either 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. But if that’s the case, how is 6Ghz okay?

Or maybe things in between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz ARE being used, but for different things that would break if WiFi started to use them, and if so, what are those things?

fluent reader is good!

ahh that makes sense

who knows

maybe it’s due to the inherent human“us vs them” mentality. the “us vs them” thing really causes a lot of problems :<

that makes sense. Honestly, I don’t think it’s really possible to get a perfectly fair system of democracy as everyone has different opinions, making it really difficult to make everyone happy. Nothing is perfect and humans are greedy, unfortunately

yeah, voting on the actual policies and laws rather than the people in charge might be more fair.

fair enough
