She’s right, it is ideological. The ideals are this planet and the humans on it, which ironically includes her.

Its a microblogging platform like mastodon and no, we don’t need it in the fediverse. There’s exactly one explanation for why they would want to join.
Another user commented that you can run Unbound (the technology used by pihole) on your machine.
Even easier, configure your device to use an ad block DNS resolver. Control D has free ones: https://controld.com/free-dns
I’m still unhappy about it, because I don’t trust corporate interests in open and community-driven spaces like the fediverse. It’s never mixed well in the past.
I wouldn’t be surprised if BlueSky is soon “the easy way to follow people on Mastodon”
I would be even less surprised if they attempt an Embrace-Extend-Extinguish tactic within 5 years.
You misunderstood me. I’m saying after the revolution. The Engels quote implies that because revolution is authoritarian, so is whatever system it implements. Which I disagree with
How about, I don’t know, establishing some sort of democracy? Just a crazy idea
The next sentence is the most important:
However, you can never be 100% sure and after the fact it’s impossible to prove with certainty that was the cause….but it made us wonder.
lol
snaps (and if installed, flatpaks) should integrate very well into an ubuntu system. Does ubuntu really not update flatpaks and snaps through the normal update manager or whatever? Fedora definitely does.
You could contribute to Pinta, which I’m pretty sure has the same vision
I’m not used to photoshop so I can’t say anything about that.
I was a big fan of paint.NET but now that I stopped using Windows, it’s the only software that I really miss.
It had fewer features than GIMP, but it was so intuitive yet surprisingly powerful.
Have not found a similarly amazing alrernative, I wish Wine could make it work…
It’s that phenomenon where people who endured trauma to attain something expect others to also endure the trauma.
I’ve tried learning GIMP, and it sucks. I’m not saying GIMP sucks, but you have to be crazy to not see that it’s hard to learn.
On Android you can just install another keyboard if your current one doesn’t have a setting for this.
If I had to guess a business case, I’d say that predictive text as a feature gives you a “legitimate reason” to send your typing data to Google or whoever to train the prediction engine, and they want that data.
Don’t be evil
Okay first things first Jack Dorsey is a tool
The US government / CIA did in fact develop the protocol back in the day, with the goal of helping people in China and other countries message securely, probably with ulterior motives.
But the protocol itself is open source, and you can use it without any affiliation with the US government.
The claim " It looks almost as if big tech in the US is not allowed to build its own encryption protocols that would be independent of government interference 🐕🦺" is therefore so stupid it almost invalidates everything else being said because the person writing is either an idiot or purposely misrepresenting the facts.
Not having reproducible builds is definitely weird though. Does anybody have more information on that?
wasn’t this a mac only editor? Or am I confused with another?
don’t tell the tankies!
I think they had a point, but they didn’t care to make a high quality writing out of it. It’s basically a rant
for sure! Just didn’t like the presentation.
How dare people complain about something they don’t like!
That aside, the article is shitty lol
Least insane techno-optimist
