I think for the big apps like Whatsapp and Facebook it makes sense that the companies want to hide the features that give users control beyond the “standard” way of using the app in places where they cannot find it.

The article criticized the closing of the Internet by Tehran, but the Internet is clear vulnerability that can be exploited in times of war.

The article has its ups and downs. Mostly downs.

I personally find weird the read on web mechanism.

What wouldn’t I be able to access without compatibility investments? Spotify, LinkedIn? I think I’m fine.

Besides, what’s the point of OSS that is owned 85% by a big company?

The Court doesn’t even hide its unfairness. This isn’t good.

I completely get that someone used to monopolies can’t understand Mastodon. I don’t think it has anything to do with understanding technology, though.

#ebooks is composed of datahoarders that have a lot of stuff available. You declare the data source you’re getting the book from (e.g. Oatmeal) and then the name of the book.

This is common in rolling releases, but Pop OS isn’t a rolling release distro. Maybe a package you installed or something similar?

With a Wi-Fi adapter on Desktop?

I think Windows is successful because it creates a nice Enterprise environment, where companies can easily get into investing into new apps to use in their offices. I think that’s why it’s successful.

I think problems that could be solved are generic hardware compatibility. Being able to install Wi-Fi adapters and Digital Tokens easily on Linux would go a long way. I think it will get there, though.

I had one last week because of Storage problems.

Third party licensed apps are everything on Windows.

I agree. Commercials get in, you get what happened to the Internet. We need something new.

That seems like a good idea.

It’s incredible how that proprietary software is actually inefficient e-waste. Most FOSS isn’t bloated or slow, but proprietary software got the high ground because of contracts and “security”, I’m sure.

I know it’s rough. Trying to find a job that pays well and isn’t deep into proprietary stuff like SQL Server, C# and alike. Sadly this scenario is overwhelmingly the case, and until the crowdfunded and open source scenario get strong (they still aren’t) there isn’t too much of an option.

Finally something useful on Android. Now I want all phones to be modular (freely assembled motherboard, processor and peripherals)

I imagine the creator envisioned something like a package wiki/docs mixed with direct access to the source code.
