smileyhead , to linux in Based KDE 🗿

As someone who needs to do initial installs on computers with 10-20, I celebrated. It is much easier to type names of the programs and the manager do anything instead of manually downloading installers. But turned out WinGet is really badly done.

As for preferences, for some this is actually Nintendo vs Sega unfortunetly. But don’t underestimate moral decitions too.

smileyhead , to linux in But Windows 11 is so good!!11!1!

As far as you are aware. Only author knows what code is in it.

It’s basically like giving computer to a random guy on the street for a day as he promise to disable Windows update for you. Maybe he do it, maybe not, for you it worked, would it work for me? Will there be anything additional in the background running after, I don’t know.

Just use some unknown program in binary form downloaded from random site that require adminstration access and God knows what it does, because Windows don’t have an option or config file to change simple thing👌.

smileyhead , to technology in Notion Battle: Microsoft released Loop and the next is the open source Notion alternative, AppFlowy

I can recommend Notesnook. Relatively cheap premium plan, everything is open source, with clients available on F-Droid and Flatpak and end-to-end encryption.

For server code they already published the source. Option to use self-hosted servers is on the roadmap: notesnook.com/roadmap/

AnyType is lying about open source, it is just “source available”, as their licence call it: github.com/anyproto/anytype-ts/blob/…/LICENSE.mdYou can see the source, but the licence restrict you from any commercial use, even if you want to use AnyType in a company.

smileyhead , to mildlyinfuriating in I switched it off for a reason!

smileyhead , to technology in Nothing pulls its iMessage app from the Play Store following privacy disaster

Rase ≠ economy region Human ≠ electronic device What are you talking about?

Ah yes, what we need is another chat app, but this time with bundled badly done social media and cloud storage.

There is a iMessage<>Matrix bridge available. github.com/mautrix/imessage

smileyhead , to technology in Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!

The OS we use on computers and servers was originally called GNU, from GNU project. Linux is one program GNU systems uses, the kernel that communicate with hardware, manage memory and more. But Linux kernel stick.

Most people now call it Linux and Linux kernel. Android only has Linux kernel, an important piece of the system but only one and not the one that user directly interact with.

smileyhead , to android in Google Messages prepares a feature that will do your ears a favor -

The fact we need Google and phone carrier approval to use the system is a reason to drop it.

I think that in SMS there simply is not more to have, they have everything needed.

smileyhead , to technology in Would anything get you to use Google Chat with friends?

I would rather use netcat command to send massages than Google Product.

smileyhead , to selfhosted in A new home and license (AGPL) for Synapse and friends

Quite the opposite. Synapse was licenced under Apache licence, which allowed everybody to make proprietary fork.

Now only Element can do proprietary fork, as they are the copyright owners and owner of the work can relicence the software as they want.

The CLA that Element require to contribute changes to their Synapse version is the controversial thing. Because if you contribute, the lines of code you made are your copyright, so if Element takes at least one community contribution the would be locked to AGPL. What CLA does is that you sign off those rights.

Why you think this is bad for software freedom?
