I dont think anyone will come to share this knowledge with us since it could be used by newspapers website to block the archiving.

I love this vibe. I’m getting back on MATE and the feeling is great. No fluff, just simple features!

Been using protonmail for my main email for three years, never had one issue. But I’m in Europe, maybe in the US it’s different?

Happy I could help :)

I enabled them for each application. Don’t know if there are some global options sorry :(

You can enable ribbon-like top toolbar in LibreOffice, I find it less confusing coping from MS Office. I’ve worked a lot in MS Office and LibreOffice so don’t hesitate to ask :)

What I call bastardisation is the many steps stopping us from using our phone as general computing platforms. Our phones have no reason to be confined by software locks like locked bootloaders, root login, etc.

As for the lack of 2 USB ports, it pictures that phones where never thought as general purpose computers. Maybe two ports is not the way to go but the lack of an interface which can act as a display output and a USB connection like what we have now with Thunderbolt on the desktop is a shame. The inability to turn my phone, which is more powerful than my current laptop, into a normal computer unencumbered by software and hardware restrictions is a shame.

The path taken by Pinephones and their Linux ecosystems is a step in the right direction. It shows that smartphone companies can do better.

As you said, it’s basic economics, it’s more profitable for them if we buy a new phone every two years, so they lock us out of our properties with software and hardware restrictions because they can.

Many countries not so well off like us in the West do not have the luxury to have a smartphone and a computer. So options with 2 USB ports would be interesting. The bastardisation of the smartphone is a disgrace.
