Great skill brother - we do anticipate needing an editor in the future.
Many people including us are big on #FOSS here - free and #opensource software that respects our freedom and privacy. In addition to avoiding contributing to #Adobe, #Apple and other corporations who don't necessarily have our interests in mind, FOSS allows us to easily modify the source files ourselves later, even after a decade.
If you can become proficient in freedom software like #Shotcut (Premiere alternative), #Natron (After Effects alternative), #Blender, #Gimp, etc., we would definitely consider hiring someone with such a skill set for our next book, The Fundamentals of #Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism), when it's ready inshaaAllaah
Salaam and welcome brother:)
There are also #FOSS engines with independent indices like #Stract
and #Mwmble
Results can be hit and miss especially as they're in beta but they depends on us to support them and make them better.

How would numbers help you? Wouldn't you be better off deciding based on each system's merits and your use case?
Disenchanted Windows user? Pop open a fresh can of Linux Lite
Linux Lite 7.0 "Galena" is out, the new release of this simplified and Snap-free distro based on Ubuntu 24.04, aka "Noble Numbat."
Linux Lite is deservedly one of the higher-profile third-party Ubuntu remixes. It resolves many of the issues first-time migrants from Windows might face, while avoiding some of the complexities that other Ubuntu downstream distros, such as Linux Mint and Zorin OS, introduce. Linux Lite cuts through this: it offers just one desktop, Xfce, which in this vulture's opinion is the most solid choice available. Xfce has been configured with a sensible desktop layout to resemble Windows XP, with the optional Whisker menu rearranged to match.
I've not actually heard of Linux Lite (that I can recall). But this article does touch on something I've come to realise: Why so many users stick with Windows and Mac, and with centralised social media platforms like X or Facebook. They don't like making changes where there are lots of choices to make.
Many do just want "the one thing" to just install and use, and ideally it looks the same as others experience it.
I suppose then that this Linux Lite distro does offer that. One gotcha is that Linux Lite does not support major-version upgrades: you will have to reinstall from scratch, and this is not something I'd like at all.
Because of that gotcha I'd probably still recommend a new Linux user sticks with Linux Mint Xfce or similar platform.

Massive gotcha indeed! For me a big gotcha is also that it comes with Google Chrome surveillance spyware browser installed as the default. That's why I'd never recommend it.
You might be on to something...

It's the easiest way to have encrypted but interoperable email setup for nontechnical folk.
You can. I did, although I generated them with GnuPG.
In #DeltaChat, go to settings > advanced > manage keys > import secret keys.
Looks like client-side scanning will eventual come to all closed source OSes.
One reason could be perhaps because Israel is keeping Palestinians including women and children hostage in prison for years and most of the world just didn't care.
A lot of talk and claims about #e2ee simply misses the point. Best expose I've heard so far is by the #Jitsi founder on Watchman Privacy:

Um, how could he listen and get the message by us commenting here on #Nostr? He's not here, is he?
Doesn't seem like they allow commenting on #Lifehacker. Apparently, the only place you can comment where they might get the message is here:
