The spreadsheet is very opinionated for eg. Proton fails in integration very hard because you can’t use it with a generic email client without extra steps… and in some platforms like iOS your only way to use it is by using their own app.
What do they offer?? An alternative to email that isn’t standard, not based in open and standard protocols like IMAP/SMPT at all and is incompatible with everything else out there that FYI is distributed. So this is basically another attempt at emulating Proton’s success and making email effetely less standardized. lol
DNS0.eu is the new thing. Maybe also Control D Free DNS, Alternate DNS or if you want to go more hardcore LibreDNS. To be fair your biggest concern shouldn’t be only where you get your DNS from BUT also if it supports DoT and DoH - encrypting the DNS is more important for a lot people than actually using something other than Cloudflare or some other big company.
Adguard is a very large data mining operation. You’ll eventually figure that out.
That’s not Ungoogled Chromium, at all. Not even close.
I believe its this: https://lemmy.world/post/32106925/17916457
The only problem with Ungoogled that makes it “not ideal for a normal human” is that fact that it is still cumbersome af to download it. Regular people don’t know github and how to click on “show all assets” and pick the right build.
Even that command wont really disable ALL animations.
Sure, can they consider stopping wasting money / time actually develop useful stuff? For a DE that got €1M from the Sovereign Tech Fund they’re not showing results.
Okay fine, desktop icons can be a design decision, however a “disable animations” toggle on the settings that doesn’t disable ALL animations… that’s just poorly made software, not something you may have an opinion on.
Yes, systemd is a very good and very well written piece of software while GNOME is a pile questionable decisions that uses web tech to create themes and takes about half a second to load up any window. Also the same pile where you’ve to use 3 different network management UIs to get stuff done. And… where you can’t have desktop icons because they were too hard to get done properly OR where you can’t have a “disable animations” toggle on the settings to actually disable ALL animations instead of just some stuff while leaving others arounds.
Finally, because nobody needs to manage system like it’s the 2000’s nor have duplicate daemons around to do stuff that systemd does in 1/4 of the resources and with less bugs.
I don’t really get this type of “media” bullshit articles. Yes, Windows is becoming progressively worse with more annoyances but you also have more simple to use tools than ever to disable those annoyances in bulk.
For the average user is far simpler to just run W10 Privacy, CTT or some other tool to disable all the annoying Windows features than it is to move to Linux and face all the major pain points people usually have around software compatibility and missing xyz very specific that isn’t really the same thing under Linux.
There you go, fixed the Windows problem for you in a few clicks, no need to download an entire new OS and complain afterwards.
Lenovo brand new is bad, refurbished, well, you just want to have a bad time. This only applies to the new Chinese owned Lenovo, the IBM ones are fine in all possible states.
Apple carefully made it in a way that complies with the law but doesn’t really change anything. And imposed small charges and requirements here and there com make it totally impractical.
You don’t understand, because side loading in iOS doesn’t not work like it does in Android - not even close. Side loading in iOS is full of restrictions, apps that only work for 3 days and require reinstall etc. And it all still requires binaries to be signed with a valid certificate approved by Apple.
Yeah, this is unfortunate.
a system with the ability to run ANY generic non-signed binary if the users chooses to do so
I guess you didn’t read this part.
allow installing of other app stores
Because this is all good, but it is way more simple for Apple to allow us to run unsigned code than to come up with all the infrastructure so you can sign your apps without 3rd parties.
Side loading is a pile of shit designed to make it appear that you’re freedom and you aren’t locked into the store when in fact, you are. They still charge bullshit charges, force app notarization etc.
Apple should be forced by someone to turn iOS into what macOS currently is, that is, a system with the ability to run ANY generic non-signed binary if the users chooses to do so. They can burry it under the settings, force people to accept a bunch of warnings but we should be able to run unsigned code.
The current state of things is bullshit, Apple is very good at sandboxing, they can keep the system signed, secure and intact while allowing unsigned code to run.
I wouldn’t. Those kinds of maps are very powerful, they provide accurate and constantly updated information from millions of users.
It’s not that is is a different ecosystem, it show shows how things can get bad very quickly. People like to say that they’ve the bridge that allows any generic IMAP/SMTP client to use their service, however what if they decide to disable the bridge? People talk a lot of shit about Microsoft and Google when it comes to email but at least those two provide email over standard protocols that can be used anywhere, not proprietary stuff. I wouldn’t be comfortable with having my email hostage to proprietary stuff like that.
