Windows is notorious for wiping Linux parts off a shared drive

The EU only cares about blocking the private sector from getting their citizen's data. They actively harm privacy when it's about government access

Looking forward to when these are actually affordable, like in a few decades.

Assuming they haven't gone bankrupt by then ((:

Atomic distros by Universal Blue build proprietary codecs into their images

I personally wouldn't go that far tbh, but I haven't rly looked into it that much so idk.
To me it seems like they are still maintaining Firefox, Gecko, and Thunderbird (which is more independent tho IIRC) quite well.
I use Thunderbird directly and Firefox through Librewolf

(haven't rly had the drive to look into Thunderbird analogues to Librewolf. Should rly do that tho)

This is why – if you want to keep your extensions – you wait with upgrading to a new Gnome version until your extensions support it...

AFAIK there is no stable extension API, leading to breakage with every version upgrade

Happy to help :)

(especially when it comes awesome libre software :p)

does it make it so that it's only "ready" to be triggered by ntfy when it would otherwise poll the server on its own very frequently (so you end up actually saving some battery)?

That's how I understand it, yes. You change the behaviour of the app by configuring it to use UnifiedPush, so there is less background usage to "restrict"

I can recommend Molly for Signal and Mercurygram for Telegram. Both support UnifiedPush too!

that's the thing though, it strips you of the options the four essential freedoms provide.

and imo it's not rly an argument. Libre software is free as in freedom and not necessarily free as in beer. You could license it under the (A)GPL, charge for downloads in the Play store or for compiled binaries on ur website and ask for donations on F-Droid.

You could even do a freemium version where some features are locked in the binaries you distribute and need a license from ur website or smth (for those who don't want to use Google Play). (iirc SD Maid 2/SE does this)

Those are such "mask off" moments imo

The best being "want documentation? join our discord", which makes me absolutely livid.

Using discord as a wannabe forum, wiki and matrix chat replacement rly goes to show that for the core dev(s), "open source" just means a development model

I regret ever having switched to the amateur distro that is Nobara bc I was too lazy to set up Feodra a 2nd time after the Grub fiasco Arch (and thus my daily driver back then EndeavourOS) had lol

Will switch the second OpenSuSe Slowroll becomes stable
