If this happens, I guess it’s Linux Phone time for me… I’m pretty certain GrapheneOS will be able to get around this abuse of power for a while, but it wouldn’t take much effort from Google to kill them too ; they almost already have…

Or maybe dumb phone time ? But I like browsing Wikipedia and playing chess and RetroArch on my phone, I don’t want to lose that just because big G$ said so…

No. Fuck the KOSA, it’s the equivalent of burning down your house to get rid of a cockroach infestation.

Meta should be liable for their algorithm, no more, no less.

So compass and straight edge is Turing complete ? Amazing !

I think there was a Japanese study that shown that pen and paper is superior in terms of memorisation even to handwriting on a tablet (in addition to the well publicised fact that handwriting is far better than typing for that too)

I wish we had more info on the subject. Definitely got me to switch back to pen and paper from my iPad, and anecdotally I think it’s worked out well for me.

I wish Framework had an option for a mechanical keyboard in there, although I understand that would mess up the whole rest of the design to accommodate it.

Can’t you “just” set up openvpn or something ? I’m not sure what CloudFlare tunnels do, I’m a bit of a control freak so delegating to CF always seemed like it’s against my principles or something x)

(Genuinely curious, idk how that stuff works cause I never looked into it)

I tend to prefer getting the apps directly from the code repositories via Obtainium, but I use F-Droid to search for apps !

It’s a little confusing to me how it could be physically possible that there’d be no difference.

I’m not saying I think I could tell which is which, but surely they can’t sound the same ? Or if they do, why do we even use copper, instead of just making cables out of the cheapest random conductive substance available ? Is copper just that substance ?

I agree. We do have to be quite careful about the optics thing, though. It’s not enough to be on the side of the people, the people also have to feel like you’re on your side.

The right has that part down real good, and we’re getting wrecked in many places because of that fact alone.

I don’t even use “being awake” 16 hours a day 😂

Do not give in. If you can’t play it on your machine, do not play it. There are other games, and if all else fails, other hobbies that do respect you.

I can touch type QWERTY, but I struggle on laptop keyboards because it’s easy to lose your position.

I have a Glove80 keyboard on my desktop, it’s very easy to stay put since the keyboard is made exactly so your hands are on the home row.

Maybe “American Food” should stop pretending to be from somewhere else, then we would respect (some of) it.

Excellent news ! I have been preaching the good word of Codeberg for months, delighted to see it’s working.

If I can get NixOS to move, I will be the happiest gal in the world…

Comment sections removed ? That should be a feature !

I had an extension that removed those, amongst other things, but that part broke. Most video comments on YouTube are incredibly stupid, I’d rather just not have to see them.

Honestly if you want to try it on Firefox, they have a few options built-in for alternative DNS !

And I feel your pain, my CS bachelor’s had like 0 courses on Networking, fortunately my current Engineering degree courses have great stuff available, so I’m finally catching up !

Break any pair you see out in public. Don’t assault the user, only break their glasses !

I generally despise mergers and acquisitions, but I’ll try to keep an open mind as I don’t know the whole context here, so it could be a very rare case of an improvement.

That has existed since the early 2010s. This patent should have been rejected on the grounds that it is insufficiently innovative.

(To say nothing of the idiocy of the idea. Patents aren’t concerned whether your ideas are idiotic or not, just whether they’re new enough that you deserve credit for them)

Ditch Google Play !

You can use Obtainium and F-Droid to install apps as directly from the Developer as possible.

You can use Aurora Store to get things from the App Store anonymously.

If you want, you can install /e/os (any phone) or GrapheneOS (Pixels only) to de-google your Android as much as possible !
