Just finished reading the article. The ending is saddening :(
“We have no expectation that these elections will lead to a fundamental change in Iran’s path or greater respect for the human rights of citizens. As the candidates themselves have said, Iran’s policy is determined by the leader.”
Glad to see him elected. I know Khomenei is still very strong in the government, but people say that president has solid impact in election of next person to Khomenei's position once he is dead. And he is 85. So maybe there might be hope?
Wishing all the best to all iranians <3
Ladybird is extremely amazing project. Andreas is a good person, with great community around him. The only thing I didn't like is the new logo - it is very meta-ish. Looks very corporative, and doesn't really resemble browser :(
hell yes. been using this combo for over a year now, won't ever look back
with fairphone, I am afraid of inferior build quality. Reviews tell they got old hardware and stuff. But will prolly get fairphone once I get some extra money :D
I've been using GrapheneOS on Pixel 7 for about 5 months now, and haven't seen any issues. With this, bootloader is also locked, so no issues there.
Thanks for being the last required part to push me to using sourcehut. I am already loving it.
Can you please share some info about why office 365 is in a dangerous spot in Germany? Very based country btw, this might be the reason why they donated 1M to GNOME project, considering it public interest project.
Kagi is doing surprizingly nice job with the search results. I was an early adopter with beta program, and can happily tell that it has been several months since last time I did the "g!". I'm in professional plan ($10 as of now). It is so good that I forget it's existence. It is just there and working nicely!
Ah, I didn't know this one. Will definitely check. Thanks a lot!
People living in EU. You guys are lucky. These cookie banners and stuff behave differently there because EU forces the reject all button
I think he does deserve. In fact, there should be more details about his fuckery. How he fucks with whole world and is a - as @speff@disc.0x-ia.moe noted - attention removed
The last one is always github trends. If you end up there, no luck for you then. Go cook something or go outside
Or GrayJay. They have the app on f-droid too. It aggregates almost every video sharing websites. YouTube, twitch, rumble, odysee etc.
It is just an ask from the community. The app is free, you can use all the features free forever.
That being said, it is always ethical and a good choice to pay for the services you use, get value from.
Man, ubuntu has gotten so bad in past years. I wanted to hop a distro (a long time user) but couldn't get the live environment load. Any other ubuntu derivative works just fine. But not ubuntu.
This is a very accurate comment. I do like this every damn time. It has been years now lol!
Yes.. I totally agree. I also think there will always be some sacred, little places, just like an oasis in a desert. They will be inaccessible, expensive, or maybe one day illegal, but they will exist, and it is my hope on this issue.
TLDR is, now looking back at the whole image, Louis thinks he hasn't been able to do enough impact on industry, and it could have been better place without him.
I personally do not agree. I've always seen him as the face of Right To Repair movement. He has done a significant work on this field, and without Louis and passionate people like him, the industry would most certainly be worst than ever.
But unfortunately, this is the most one person can do. Average person simply doesn't care, and those who do, they are largely outnumbered. These companies are bigger than most countries, and have huge impact on world economy. Therefore, governments can't do (often, willingly, don't even try) much about their anti-consumer behaviors.
It is quite heartbreaking to see these kind of "self-questioning"s from the "right to repair guy" himself, but I simply can't blame him! He has been doing this advocacy for 15 years now, and unfortunately, it has only gotten worst. I doubt if the field will change to the better. Advancements will happen, but in its current form - consumers are just consumers. We have lost our particularity, and these corporations are fighting for us our attention span.
What do you think? Is there a light at the end, or are we living in it's best times?
Sorry if this is against community guidelines, but I couldn't find any rule that prohibits this. If there is any, please tell me, I'm open to remove the post.
--- Just randomly came across this one and it looked so good that I formatted my laptop (which runs windows, unfortunately for battery reasons) and did the set-up with this script. It is FOSS and very easy to use.
It can remove edge, cortana and other microsoft junk software, while being able to quickly install stuff, set-up profiles, etc.
We (me with a friend) created this page https://openwebdefenders.org and planning to create banners for websites that may want to inform their users on what's going on.
If anyone wants to contribute somehow or have other ideas I would be happy to discuss on https://github.com/openwebdefenders/web/issues
