CryptPad: end-to-end encrypted collaboration suite

To get an idea of this community, and to try the cool CryptPad Survey feature, I created a pretty big Linux usage survey!

The data is anonymized and the content encrypted on the server. I plan on publishing the results.

Have fun!

It works on hardened Firefox on a phone, but the experience is better on a PC.

Notes

  1. I am very sorry but the question “it is okay that my above message gets published” cannot reasonably be respected, as the text is just dumped into a single block
  2. Lag caused some empty questions to appear, removed
  3. A question about disk encryption and “why do you use other OS” got mixed up
  4. i changed the wording of some questions or added more options, so there may be duplicate old answers or too little new ones. You can edit your submission and update your answers.

      I suspect those may depend on choosing a particular response to some of the previous questions

    So aside for a few wording and technical issues, something stuck out to me. Using “special” to refer to neurodivergence is a bit problematic and potentially dogwhistley because of the historical contexts it’s been used in to dismiss and look down on people. And even if it wasn’t, it’s a bit ambiguous; can someone who feels that they are in touch with their “spiritual side” consider themselves to have a “special brain”?

    If you’re wondering about neurodivergence, probably better to just ask “Are you neurodivergent?” rather than using euphemisms.

    Filled out the survey, hope some other people do too. Would be interesting to see how people answered.

    Some questions I wish I could say because it’s open source or I believe in open source projects

    There are some issues with some questions: empty ones (variant 1, variant 2, variant 3 etc) and toggles where radio buttons would be more appropriate

    Why did you start using linux? it was the 80s/90s, windows didn’t exist, I used un*x at uni, of course I couldn’t install HPUX, AIX, Solaris or IRIX on my 386, so I installed Linux. There was minix but it was not free. Also BSD was tempting.

    Origin? A couple of floppy images downloaded from usenet :) there was no distro really.

    Why the fuck does a survey need a loading screen with a progress bar?

    Holy shit, people, some HTML with input fields and a submit button does not need to be this over engineered!

    I dunno, I don’t wanna take part in any survey, it feels wrong to me. But filled it halfway, just to see my own thoughts on linux. BTW you shouldve added " for fun" as a option to the question “why’d you use linux”, thats the first thing that came to my mind

    I didn’t see these questions at all.

    • Do you feel represented in the community?
    • How do you feel, how could the community improve?
    • Do you modify your install in these areas?

    I couldn’t find an answer for this question

    • Why did you start using Linux? (My answer would be, found it on a magazine)

    This question is not distinctive

    • Do you use other Operating Systems? (Yes I do use Android but not on a PC)

    I would expect “independent” as an answer for these questions

    • Where does the distro you use originate from?
    • What origin was your FIRST distro from?
