Their brand has been privacy-focused alternatives to the most important parts of online life.

  • Email / identity
  • Passwords
  • VPN
  • Calendar, etc

Now with their crypto and ai products it feels like they're not focusing on regular users any more.

In that case why would it be a bad thing to change the name to something else?

I agree that vim forces you to learn before you can use it, but it is possible to learn the bare minimum of vim.

I get by with a very basic understanding of insert mode and the other mode where :q! quits

There is some truth to it. If you are installing a server distro it may not come with nmcli by default. Maybe it will. But good to think about

I really enjoy byobu, especially since it has nice colors and is a mature well supported project

That's how they used to do it, get a warrant, and wiretap landlines.

Except even back then the FBI spied on whoever they wanted, like Martin Luther King and the civil rights organizers. Always has been this way
