  • The person you are replying to said it's fine in a "best friend"-relationship, implying it can be problematic in more intimate relationships. You then said that the person in question is "the son's best friend though", which can be interpreted as "there is no potential for a more intimate relationship" in the context (as in male-male friends can't be more than that).

    I'm just telling you how it can be interpreted and where the answer is coming from.

  • I actually had to test this with my hardware, Win11 is atrocious. I don't have exact numbers, but Win11 uses so much more RAM for itself that it's really noticeable how it just gets slower so much faster when I open stuff.

  • Latvia is partly involved, yes, but it's also part Russian and recently moved to Singapore. You may find the history section on Wikipedia interesting; it also lists the russian part-ownership as reason for many users leaving OnlyOffice (and I've seen quite a few posts on that at the time).

    As for the open-source part, I stand corrected, thank you

  • From what I can tell, OnlyOffice has the best compatibility and the nicest UI (similar to MS office), same as with the regular applications. NextCloud Office is based on LibreOffice (officially Collabora, which is their name for the web product), so again same as the regular applications you'll have some compatibility issues. That said, if you don't need compatibility with existing documents or only documents made with LibreOffice, either is fine.

    One concern many have is that OnlyOffice is closed source (edit: my bad, it's been open-source for a long time) and russian based (edit: partially russian, see Wikipedia), while LibreOffice is open source.

  • There's many languages that started by compiling to C (including C++), so it's an option. As another commenter has already said, it also means that you inherit everything of rust, which can be useful (borrow checker) but also tricky (language decisions, generate correct code). C is a much simpler language (in terms of features), so it's easier to compile to, but Rust should be as doable.

    Titles should probably not be parsed as markdown

  • The safety number is not part of the encryption. It just says: this person is who they say they are. So as long as you can trust that the number actually came from that person, it's fine. Afaik, the number is derived from the encryption keys, so it can't be faked, but I would verify that if you're unsure.

    Edit: was curious, here's the blog post that introduced them: https://signal.org/blog/safety-number-updates/ Essentially, it's a hash of the public key, so safe to broadcast, similar the HTTPS certificates employed on the web. They even say so: "the share button on the safety number screen and selecting FB, Twitter, email, etc to send the safety number to your contact."

  • The main reason for Ubuntu against Debian is the packages. For Ubuntu, they're much newer, and with PPAs (launchpad.net), you can often get more and/or newer packages built by other users. For debian, good luck, you're stuck with old packages (which is the intent of Debian stable, but not nice as a user, that's for server)

  • This would likely only hurt the end user. Many use chromium-based browsers, so you're just driving those away.

    You can detect Firefox, so you can do a superficial block in JS, but lemmy is such a simple site that you'd find it hard to find areas where there's actual differences between the browsers, those usually only come from complex pages like video calling
