Yes, and paying more for the same work.

Interesting, a person was telling me recently that NZ privacy laws were quite strong. Perhaps a different category.

The laws are, the policing is not. At least not in medical data

Super responsive—running ten things at once, on a Pentium 90 or PPC. The filesystem metadata was neat as well, and though we have these things today, it was unique in the 90s.

Kinda neat but I had trouble using it. Not sure what it is doing or what it is even showing me. I'd recommend a more CUA-esque interface like turbo vision, the msedit of old, or micro if it had a menu.

If I have to read the manual, if it isn't blindingly obvious how to use, I'd rather just use journal or tail -f.

Also a nitpick but the colors are quite garish, perhaps 256 colors and muted or monochrome effects if possible. For some reason the colors on the site screenshot are less saturated than the one packaged in my distro, fedora, 0.12.4.

Can you elaborate a little more? lnav behaves like a pager with the conventional hotkeys for basic stuff. I'm not sure what else you are expecting.

I enjoy colors, so there's a lot going on by default. There are several themes builtin. You can configure the "grayscale" theme by running:

    :config /ui/theme grayscale

Thanks, I didn’t know what logs it opened, or how to open others. It had menus and drop downs but I didn’t understand what they were listing.

Need to read the manual I guess, not a big deal but it should be obvious for a log viewer. Why I recommended CUA, though I understand it is not so common on Unix.

Disagree—better to have space allocated in each project where they can be easily deleted at once. Rather than half hidden in your home folder somewhere with random names and forgotten about.

If for some rare reason you wanted to delete all venvs, a find command is easy enough to write.

Indeed, there's an additional problem as well. There are settings, and then there are settings that allow one to change the settings. Not only are there hundreds of settings but they are duplicated in this way.

Configuring them from scratch is a minimum 20 minute job, and then you need to double and triple check to avoid mistakes. More like a half hour.

Our kid breaks through the screen time regularly, even with new passcodes. Have a theory it is done from the wife's macbook, but not entirely sure. Gave up; would not recommend or use again.

Buy and support vendors that ship proper Linux laptops. I know of Star labs and Nova Custom in the EU, both use coreboot as well.

Defeatism; alternatives don't have to be perfect to be useful. In other words, it's a journey, not a destination.

Totally get what you're saying, and improving personal security can also be fun as a mental exercise. It's just there's a lot comments in this thread (hundreds) about how you can migrate EU to escape USG surveillance, which is just not realistic.

It's plenty realistic, just not perfect. Extradition is different than real time surveillance, for example.
