Linux and everything FOSS (and not only open source) IS political. It's a clear ethical choice and it impact everyone who use the software. The entire FOSS movement IS political

Battery shape (and connector) will sadly still be a thing for a long time, and usually it's for engineering reasons, so I don't really think it will be possible to standardize it

Cause fuck DRM. And sometimes because updates and game version on steam are different (e.g. skyrim version on steam support more mods than gog version)

I miss those comics. I know the author is a shitty human, but his strips were great

I hope this trend continue. Fuck slavers

IMHO, the problem is more subtle: nothing on the internet will stay forever, if you find a piece of information you like to save forever, you should save it locally AND with something like internet archive. A community can transfer to the same community in another server with proper forewarning. Finally, mastodon introduced the ability to move your account to another istance manteining your followers for quite a while now, maybe lemmy can find a way to introduce something like that too

Lovecraft

AnySoftKeyboard, I use it and love it, but it need a lot of time to be configured exactly like you want

Il garante ha sostanzialmente dichiarato la cosa lecita. Da un punto di vista etico penso sia merda, oltre che inutile considerato che altri giornali esteri hanno dimostrato come si possa guadagnare anche di più con la pubblicità non profilante

I really don't understand all those posts: I use nginx, apparmor, partially even modsecurity, I use collabora office official debian package, face recognition, email, update regularly (waiting for major upgrades for every app I use to be updated), etc. and literally never had a problem in the last 5 years except for my own experiment. True, only 5 people use my instance, but Nextcloud is rock solid for me

Millions of people in the world don't know to have a choice or even can't stop using google products. Google has a near monopoly and it isn't just something you can totally evade

Yeah, qwant, the same search engine with complete reliance on huawei and bing, who asked to deactivate adblocker to use their page. Qwant isn't privacy focused, it's just marketing

No, there are no proton official communities on lemmy

So, if I want to access a website, google has to collect a record about me, and only if the fucking company approve my past behavior I can access the site. Of course if I don't have any past records I can't (easily?) access the website. Simply awesome.

Quasi nessuno, é purtroppo evidenziato da moltissimi ex admin di mail selfhostate. Anche protonmail e tutanota hanno avuto grossi problemi con Microsoft e per anni la loro posta é finita nello spam. In generale, comunque, avere player mastodontici che gestiscono il 99% di un determinato servizio, mina irrimediabilmente qualsiasi standard (vedi come si é evoluto internet dopo il monopolio chromium) e sistema decentralizzato. Inoltre il rischio é sempre quello molto concreto della strategia "abbraccia, estendi, estingui"

Ublock is awesome, but it can't block first party from analyze, sell and use your data for anything out of your control. Use a fake account, a VPN and/or tor browser to isolate your identities. Stopping ads isn't enough to stop exploitation of your data

Terribile... Per me in particolare per mull, ma DivestOS era uno dei migliori progetti in circolazione. Purtroppo immagino che fare tutto da solo sia insostenibile, e senza supporto adeguato e con le cose che si complicano ogni giorno di più era scontato sarebbe finita così. Mi dispiace moltissimo, è un colpo durissimo per tutta la community

The name "lineage" is because it's a "descendant" of cyanogenmod, not because it's intended for older phones

Phones in India can be bought for near 50$, and that provide everything a common citizen (and I mean mandatory government app and messaging) need. And 50$ still isn't cheap for most of the population. It's a totally different economy than usa

Giusto per aggiungere un elemento in più: una storia sono le email selfhostate utilizzate da un singolo utente, un'altra sono le email selfhostate utilizzate da dozzine o centinaia di utenti. Nel secondo caso é stato riferito più volte come sia quasi impossibile non finire nello spam
