I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy 😅.

Firefox, I just use Firefox because, it works, it has enough privacy measures, and everyone is looking at the codebase, something that cannot be said about most (if not all) forks.

As a small phone lover, here's the thing: we don't consume as many phones or as many services as (general) big phone people.

It's not only about the size of the community. It's that our phones are tools generally at our service and not the reverse.

Hopefully Linux phones are not so far away from usable in the next couple years.

You can skip that step. Not that it's okay, tho.

My message to Telegram CEO: Open source your shit and we'll talk then about freedom and whatever marketing campaing you are on right now. Bye.

Don't worry, they'll kill the project after naming it Chrome Recall, Google Recall, Google Watcher, GWatch (with chat), Chat&Watch, Google Watch (new) in the span of a year.

As a KDE fan, I don't use any of these "redundant" programs, unless there is a true benefit.

The thing is that, LibreOffice works and looks great in Plasma, and Calligra doesn't do anything special.

It's even more obvious for me with KTorrent. We already have qBitTorrent!

I absolutely like things like Neochat, tho, because in this case the "official" alternative is an annoying Electron app.

Every GNOME install tutorial:

please install this 3rd party application to install even more 3rd party extensions, otherwise your default experience will be shit.

Meanwhile KDE:

here you go, everything you need is here. Want more? Want less? Just touch me and find out, I can make your dreams come true, baby.

What always freaks me out is people considering their government worse than the likes of Meta, Palantir, Google, Microsoft... At least you can vote (hopefully) for a different government. The problem is when the companies are able to buy governments, like USA is.

IMO Wayland surpassed X11 a long time ago... As it doesn't shit in the pants with tearing on video play or touchscreens with multi-screen.

Do you really think these years existed?

EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNLOAD SIGNAL for PHONE-NUMBER-based communication, tho. Proper RCS is not here yet (and won't be in a long while), so let's try to mobilize people to Signal.

DeltaChat is cooler for non-phone based communications, IMO, and decentralization makes it way sexier and worth this tradeoff.

My advice: time to move on. Ubuntu has been like that for a while and they have plans to go even further, so move to Debian, which is basically Ubuntu without the issues. Even Firefox-ESR is the default in Debian.

Tasks.org, synced with Nextcloud tasks.

You must download it from F-droid for the sync to be free. On Play Store it's under a paywall by dev decision (to promote open source portals).

True Mexican food from an actual restaurant. For your health.

Why not posting a proper source? https://mullvad.net/...

Plasma is rock solid. Yes, you can break it. And that is called freedom.

If you don't install 30 third party widgets and themes, you'll be FINE, while still being able to make it yours.

That is why I always choose KDE Plasma (we'll see when Cosmic comes).

Somehow all these OSS projects that start with only a Mac client seem so suspicious to me...

I wonder if they will enforce a login to use the software?

Who thought it was a good idea to have single torrents of multiple TB??

Was the Ventoy binary blob issue resolved and it's cool again?

Capital i is same as non-capital L... So a horrible font for me.
