smileyhead , to linux in New Plasma 6 Default Icon Theme Looks

I liked old look more. Would prefer to add even more preinstalled icons instead.

smileyhead , to technology in A Jury Will Decide If Google's App Store Is an Unjust Monopoly

It’s a monopsony - a monopoly from the other side.

Google Play Store is not the single seller of apps to users but a single sensible buyer from developers. Of course with most apps being free of change, “buyer” and “seller” are loose terms to satisfy the definition.

Miss the times when I was thinking he is speedrunning Factorio.

smileyhead , to technology in Software that supports your body should always respect your freedom

It’s not about open source, but free/libre software. Third-party developers being able to change the software is a side effect of who is in control of the software that keeps you alive.

Sure we can do certification and similliar, but we still can’t be sure what’s really inside. Also the is a problem of accessibility. What if the app that you need to be alive is made only available from Google Play Store for “security reasons”? Now you are tied to the will of Google if they want you to serve the app or approve account for you.

What free software does is basically makes a protection from many types of abuses that are implications of user not being practically able to do what developer can.

smileyhead , to linux in What devices run with free firmware?

But it’s a closed device with the firmware not being for user to replace.

While BIOS can be updated without opening the computer. Or many WiFi cards require you to load a firmware on them upon boot.

So firmware in the disk is more of a right-to-repair problem rather than free/nonfree software

smileyhead , to linux in Are older, but Linux compatible computers capable of running the newest kernel/version of various distros?

Linux kernel is really good at backwards compatibility, better than any other OS.

Software can be bad at being backwards compatible with older kernels, but you should be able to run newer ones.

People don’t know they can disable ad blockers for one specific website only?

smileyhead , (edited ) to android in Bitwarden begins adding passkey support to its password manager - The Verge

How is Bitwarden having all the actually needed things for free, still developing, be most open and community-friendly of cloud-synced managers, allow self-hosting everything for free and still cost just 10$/year for managed premium???

I bought premium just for the 2FA codes support and recently they announces btw it is free now. Like, buying premium for me now would be like donating, they give me anything I want anyway.

smileyhead , to android in Bitwarden begins adding passkey support to its password manager - The Verge

It is not about logging in to BitWarden via PassKey, but logging in via BitWarden to other services.

Confusing, but what it means is you not storing password in a manager, but a cryptographic private key.

smileyhead , to technology in Stephen King calls on Elon Musk to change 'X' back to Twitter

Buy a managed Mastodon hosting and call that instance however you want.

smileyhead , to technology in Linux isn't ready for professional work?

Yea, SquareSpace really don’t fit this channel.

I believe hosting provider and the software installed should not be tied together.
