Actual value creator probably earns less than somebody working at some surveillance tech company invading people’s privacy.

KDE Connect

Allows connecting to other devices with KDE connect and sharing files, controlling media players, sending text messages, controlling the mouse and keyboard (if the device has that), and much more.

I install it by default on every device I have and even setup a computer as a media player in my living room that I control with my phone. Just connect an old laptop or desktop with Wake On Land or with autosleep and autologin and you won’t need a firestick or whatever.

Even before a F-Droid client. Typical.

The effort is appreciated and while some brands can definitely be undoubtedly terrible (like Apple which doesn’t have a single phone the expressively allow you to unlock), many brands have a mix of phones that allow unlocking.

I’d much rather have a long table I can filter and sort than just a blanket “this brand is terrible and should be avoided”. Also, that verdict should be reached by a list of common criteria with a point system. It should just be the author of a page that decides a company’s rating.

Sure, Apple users see the logo less than those who use it. But tell yourself whatever makes you sleep at night.

Could be cool to support it for lineageos. GrapheneOS is limited to a single brand and there are many brands in India and around the world which will be forced by the Indian government to install that spyware.

Will it involve coming in contact with the owner of the social media accounts? Because that dude is way too agro.

A few Euros vs 600 is quite a difference.

Can lineage do that now? 😮 That would be great! There are so many cheap phones that lineage supports, it would make it very affordable for people in India to make a large step towards degoogling!

If only there were a simple easy to flash ROMs onto phones that normies could do. Just plug it into a computer, run a program, follow instructions and have lineage is or so on it.

The Netherlands has been so pro USA for years, they will do anything the US tells them and they will use any trendy tech that comes from there. One single local government in the Netherlands doesn’t rely on us infrastructure. The Dutch tax office decided to sign a deal with Microsoft this year after all the talk about sovereignty.

The US told the dutch government to stop ASML from selling their lithography machines to China and the the Netherlands just bowed down and kissed their toes. ASML was forced to exclude China. The US said “no more Huawei only USA” and the Netherlands reported it as “Huawei is evil, we must trust USA”.

The Netherlands even has a healthcare system with deductibles (not the entire thing is like the US healthcare system luckily).

If the US said “Netherlands, become the 51rst state” there’d be a countrywide celebration.

It really pisses me off when something doesn’t work and the first thing someone says is “must be Linux”. Bro, I moved away from Windows because of all the bugs there. Don’t try to bullshit me into thinking you live a bugfree life.

My system is as fast as when I first got it (minus maybe the extra bloat websites have acquired due to bugger JS libraries and unnecessarily big assets). On windows reinstalling every year or every second year was normal.

Waydroid is GPLv3 and that’s great. Hopefully contributions will be upstreamed. Waydroid, Wine, FEX… Valve is contributing to great things!

Latest release was 2 weeks ago. Not sure how “dead” that is.

He spent 30 days trying to get adobe premiere to work instead of just fixing his audio issues with kdenlive.

Javascript just made it very easy to add libraries. I bet you if it C++ had an ecosystem as easy to use as Javascript, it would be the wildest mess you could imagine. Someone would create a package chock full of generics that sends your credentials to a foreign server during compilation but output a completely fine binary. But making dependency management easy in C++ would kill the elitist allure to the language and we can’t have that now, can we?
