I remember the “we are adults, not revolutionaries” entry in r/freebsd. After that, the subreddit administration decided to leave things as they were.
I don’t understand the point raised by R. Stallman about using only free software. Because for most of us the PC is a working tool, but in no way a religious toy.
Thank God I didn’t give in to herd instinct and delete my Reddit account. I did that four times in a row, and I don’t play those games anymore. I didn’t sign up for a subject that is foreign to me, especially since in my opinion the alternative apps work worse than the official one, and the lack of video downloads doesn’t bother me because I don’t watch porn. My Reddit stays the way it was. The FreeBSD and Slackware communities and a couple or three others have sane members.
The lists of smartphones on the Postmarket OS and UBPorts websites can be used as a basis. Theoretically, you can use for experiments phones that come with alternative firmware directly from the factory. OnePlus, for example. You could buy a Pinephone and experiment with mobile Linux.
Lemmy sprawls thanks to his dislike of Reddit’s new rules. This is both a virtue and a problem at the same time. Reading 1,000 “Reddit is about to fall apart” posts or copies of old Reddit posts is quite tedious. Oh yeah, there’s also the defederation announcements, it’s even more tedious to read that nonsense. Guys, you have not had time to consolidate, and already arranging a rant.
Xiaomi Mi10 Lite with stock firmware. Xiaomi QIN22F as a second phone. I’ve tried some third-party Android variations, but none of them, including LineageOS, I liked to use. Or rather I liked LineageOS when it was still CyanogwenMod, and then, as usual, everything went wrong.
A removable battery in the perfect surveillance device? There’s no such thing.
Correct me if I am wrong.
A “federation” is a form of state structure in which parts of a state are state entities with legally defined political autonomy within a federation.
Federation, in contrast to confederation, provides for a certain coordinating administration. That is, you still have no freedom here, and you don’t even know who pays the electric bill in your new entity.
I wonder if Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter know about the fediverse stabbing them?
So they drove a bunch of people into a public beta software. Do developers need free beta testing?
Do you think this is the end of your “journey”?
I’ve gotten used to Slackware in 25 years.
WPS Office for editing office files. LaTeX for writing articles. Emacs for everything else.
Have you heard anything about uBlock origin, Ghostery and similar programs?
