IMO they're both good options. Afaik, Tuta has an open source backend, unlike Proton. However, Proton has had great recent independent security audits, and court orders against them have shown how little information they keep.
Proton offers more features and services, which also makes it a bit more expensive. I've used and like both, but right now I have a Proton Unlimited subscription because I like their drive, vpn, and password manager.
Its a similar problem with Proton for me. Proton doesn't even let you sync to 3rd party cal app on the free tier.
If you're going to paywall basic functionality, that just prevents me from trying it for a while and eventually become so tied to it, it's difficult to break free. Google had the right plan from the get-go.
Not to discredit anyone but don't a lot of universities just pump out shitty scientific articles exactly because universities are ranked using this metric?
Once any metric is used to measure success it immediately becomes useless. Or something like that
There are also studies showing that the quality of papers coming out of China is higher as well
Monthly Active Users (MAU) is probably the best metric for the health of Lemmy. A lot of these instances that are shutting down may be single-user instances or ones that people spun up just to mess about with them.
However, please donate to your instance if you can, it doesn't have to be much :)

Hell yeah I would if the same situation happens in my own country.
Typically, you should be protecting yourself, then people you are close with, before you start protecting strangers. Also even if democrats are elected, there's nothing stopping people from protesting about US supporting Israel anyways. Now do you see a flaw in your logic?
I’m sure the trans people whose lives are now in danger will sleep much better tonight knowing that the blood of those Palestinian children who are going to continue dying because Donald Trump has promised not to even try for a ceasefire isn’t on your hands, because you didn’t vote for Kamala Harris.
I hope you’re fucking happy.

I think LMG / LTT paid for it, but the issue still remains what do you do as a manager or boss in a company when these things happen?
If the authorities is not involved then there only is one thing to do, hire someone yourself. Doing the audit internally by yourself is worse. So they did what they can do in a situation like that.
Unfortunately we have to trust them in the very end. If they say that the audit found X and not Y, we have no other choice but to trust it, or have zero tolerance. By not forgiving or allowing people and companies to improve we only make them repress and hide issues more. Zero tolerance could also leads to innocent people and companies being harshly and unfairly punished.

Not that I condone or want to minimize the experience.
But isn't that something that happens at pretty much all companies given a certain size? The more people work somewhere the higher the likelihood that some form of sexual harassment would happen? LTT has >100 employees I believe. LTT seems to be a place that takes good care of their employees compared to most companies.
I kinda feel that disregarding the entire company because of a sexual harassment incident is heavy handed. Note that I do not know of the extent that this has happened.
I am open to having my mind changed here.

Pick one...
Thanks, I see that this was somewhat contradictory.
My point is that the issue with SA and sexual harassment is so prevalent in society that it happens everywhere. A company of a 100 employees or more would probably have someone acting badly. As long as it is handled and the parties face some sort of consequences that prevents it in the future I don't see how disregarding an entire company is productive or helpful. If there is proof of them not taking the harassment seriously, then I think boycotting is productive. I have not seen evidence of this in regards of LTT.
The statistics on SA and sexual harassment in society pretty much points in the direction that it is a huge problem and happens everywhere, and therefore should be expected to happen at LTT as well. Not that it is OK.
Its very easy to use and my goto image editor, but I say that from a position of familiarity of having learned where everything is and what all the keybindings are over many years.
In contrast, Krita seems like a far better image editor, but because the interface is bewildering to me, I've shied away from it.
Regarding the interface: Krita is heavily designed to match artist workflow around the world. Here's the complexity:
Different region, ages, and level of professionality have entirely different of common/standard app.
A lot of comic artist or illustrator that delves in anime/manga/ACG style in Asia use Clip Studio Paint as their main software.
People from Western gaming industry often used Photoshop or Procreate.
Teenager in Asia often use ibisPaint.
PaintToolSAI for lightweight and customizable interface.
There's Rebelle for replicating traditional realistic painting.
Krita tried to cater to all of these people, not just "Photoshop users" that mostly just for image editing.
In my experience, Inkscape can be used as a professional replacement for Illustrator. It has never crashed on me. There may be some limitations, but nothing super inconvenient or something there isn't a workaround for.
GIMP, on the other hand, is a mixed bag. I believe Krita is a much better candidate to be used professionally than GIMP. GIMP has an objectively bad UI, has weird quirks for very simple tasks, and is prone to crashes. I use GIMP for simple image editing and Krita for more complex projects. GIMP 3.0 is their best chance to fix their reputation and I'm hopeful it will deliver.
If you don't have time to try them yourself, follow creators who use them and check their workflow. I recommend Davies Media Design on YouTube for great videos on Inkscape especially.
Edit: No program is completely immune to crashes, it's good practice to routinely save projects no matter how stable or unstable the program is.
neither GIMP nor Krita is really capable of acting as a replacement for Photoshop yet
I would agree with that. But in all of their defence I'd add that they're not trying to be. They are their own pieces of kit with their own roadmaps and goals.
The biggest frustration people from Photoshop have is that the expect Gimp or Krita to be a clone of Photoshop with feature to feature parity, and that's never been the goal of either program.
Photoshop has spent decades basically merging the features of most of their products, so that it's now basically a photo editor with features of Illustrator and a suite of advanced drawing tools. The only replacement for that would be a hypothetical program that combines Gimp, Krita & Inkscape. But that's never been the goal of any of those programs. They're separate kit and as far as I'm aware always will be.
I actually really enjoy GIMP as an alternative to Photoshop. My biggest problem with it is that Photoshop keybinds are muscle memory, and for whatever reason GIMP has everything totally different so I almost always end up having to hunt down what I'm after.
I've heard there are ways to get it 1:1 but I've never been able to figure that out. Admittedly, I haven't looked too hard either.
I've been using gimp's 3.x branch since 2016 or so (after getting a hidpi display) and gimp itself since the early 2000s, both for personal stuff and for work. I'm typically editing existing photos and images to clean them up, apply effects, make new clean images from pieces of existing ones, etc, and for my uses it's great. Also, having been using it for so long, I actually really prefer the ux to Photoshop (especially since they added an option to use it in single window mode).
I've seen videos showing some of the features it's missing for certain types of things though, and while there are hacky scripted ways to emulate them, you might find it lacking if you're expecting those particular features.
I'd recommend looking up tutorials on YouTube for things you frequently do and see how much work it is and what the final product looks like. You could up the playback speed to save time since you won't be following along with gimp yourself.
Germany's cabinet approves draft law on voluntary military service
With the end of conscription, Germany stopped the registration of 18-year-olds for military service, leaving the country without a reliable data base on whom it could call up.The aim of the new law is to once again have an overview of those figures: Under the model proposed, all men turning 18 - about roughly 300,000 next year - will have to fill out a digital survey on their interest in joining the army.
Young women will also be sent the survey but are not obliged to respond.

that is likely related to github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull… which limits the resolution of thumbnails.
the client you are using is probably only displaying the thumbnails to you, not the original images.

New criminal probe targets Israeli prime minister's office
The Times of Israel added that reports appearing in Hebrew media earlier this year claimed that Netanyahu had been “attempting to keep his conversations regarding the management of the war in Gaza untraceable.”Controversy continues to surround the beginning of the war. Hamas' Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was reportedly successful in part due to intelligence failures blamed on Netanyahu and others. Israeli officials also issued the Hannibal Directive on 7 October, authorizing the military to kill Israeli civilians to prevent them from being taken captive in Gaza by Hamas fighters.
The military unleashed attack helicopters, drones, and tanks to fire missiles, high-caliber bullets, and shells at houses in the settlements (kibbutzim) and at the Nova music festival, killing hundreds of Hamas fighters, Israeli soldiers, and civilians alike.
