I check for all apps on f-droid first, play store second.

I just got my Pixel 9a and put GrapheneOS on it. The only thing that seems to not work right now is KDE Connect, but I’m unsure if it might be me doing something wrong rather than being impossible.

He’s half-right.

Too true. EC’s constant attacks on encryption is worrying to say the least. I hope nothing goes thru.

I’ve always felt like numbers should be ordered after letters. A-Z then 0-9.

Micro, hell yea!

IIRC, the US accusers even quoted US federal law at TPB in emails preceding this. They had probably just assumed TPB were US based and this response where how they found out.

I’m still salty about Sweden bending over about this, tho. Sovereignty is a lie.

I was a curious 14yo. Tried out OpenSUSE 10.2 (10.3? Can’t fully remember) with KDE 3.5 and had a blast.

Welcome to 2005, America!

Would be great if the US started regulating big tech as harshly as the EU, let’s see how they like that.

If it’s an actual official web standard, they might have to.

While I can see your level of cynicism on my own horizon, I’m just not there yet.

While I have issues with the rules of “the game”, the current rules are better than the changes that Google are proposing, but since they are infinitely more powerful than me, I can only hope whatever body (W3C?) does not make it an official standard. As long as it’s just an extra thing that Chrome/Chromium does, there’s still hope for Google to get into legal trouble.

That’s why they want to make it a web standard, so they can just blame Firefox and others for not following the standard and avoid EU fines.

That’s what Microsoft did with their office document standard.

Open source software is supposed to have a built-in safety net, forking. The issue is that people are most often overly reluctant to actually fork projects when they go to shit (especially if they do so by boiling the frog method), or if it gets forked, they rarely really move to the newer forked project and instead keep putting up with the evil old version.

“Q fanboys”?

“anonymous”

France deserve as much shit as Hungary and Poland get within the EU tbh

I saw your username and was just wondering if I could call you “Meg”?

Spotify and Netflix. Since they are so far the only platforms that stick to streaming media and are not trying to take over the world. I guess HBO would be fine too.
