Sure, encryption may not be important for large groups but it can happen that it may be needed. If I were to make a group with my coworkers, I’d want that to be E2EE. On top of that, even without E2EE, you need good UX to host discussion groups for various topics, and Jami is simply not there yet.

You can’t have big groups in Jami, it’s limited to a small number of participants (can’t remember how many).
That’s what I was saying — sometimes the TOTP option is not available at all for certain services. Ente, Aegis, Bitwarden, etc won’t save you there and itsme remains the only option on mobile when that’s the case.
1·4 months agoIt doesn’t matter whether it’s a private or public service if they both use the same auth provider (beId). I wouldn’t be surprised if the SMS/TOTP options went away completely at some point for our “security”.
A different issue is that itsme is often the only option when doing things on mobile. Sure, you can avoid it for now, but it’s getting increasingly inconvenient to do so, unfortunately. I try to express my disappointment to itsme every now and then about the fact that they require Google’s SafetyNet and that the Connective Plugin needed to activate itsme in the first place doesn’t even work on Linux, but to no avail. They sent me a detailed email about setting up a Windows VM to get it working so credit where it’s due for the effort, but the situation is still bad…
If I’m not mistaken, it’s up to the the service that’s using the Belgian e-id to enable some of the options or not. For example, the website where I check my payroll only works through itsme or with a card reader — no TOTP or SMS 2FA. It’s a big issue because itsme refuses to run when you don’t pass Google’s safety net.
6·5 months agoI guess his son picked Bazzite for gaming. Linux Mint would not help with that since it’s lagging behind in updates to drivers (Mesa, etc)

In the US maybe. Even in western Europe, 10k $ or € is a buttload of money per month. Something like 4x the net salary of a backend developer here in Belgium where I live.
Not really. Helix is closer to Kakoune which is based on the modal editing of Vim but reimagined a bit.
Last I checked, Plasma BigScreen was nowhere near ready for everyday use. Has that changed?
