Sure they should be allowing it, but anyone who cares about digital privacy and freedom that’s still using apple devices kinda deserves what they get at this point.

This! Set up virt manager or Virtual Box, then you can try all the distros you want
I used brave for a while, but left as I felt there was something fishy about them. Seems I was right
As a DWM user I won’t be moving for a long time. Yes I know about DWL, but it dosnt have half the patches I use yet.
I do like the lower amount of screen tearing on Wayland, but I’ve minimised it in Xorg.
Honesty at this point I don’t really care about Linux becoming mainstream. I mean call me elitist, but I feel like if it became a major desktop operating system a lot of the development would turn to making sure it’s safe for IT illiterate people to use.
Part of why I love Linux so much is as someone who actually has a decent idea of what I’m doing I feel like the operating system leaves me alone to do what I want with my own computer.
Do you really think if everyone started using Linux you’d still be able to delete the boot loader or wipe your whole installation with one command.
Of course not! They would have to fit 10 million safety features and limit a ton of what the user can do just like Windows and MacOS.
So as much as I love Linux I think it’s best being left as an advanced power users desktop operating system.
st. Fonts look great and I’ve even been able to add a vim mode for scrollback including selecting and copying text.
If I need something fast( usually on a new system) that’s in most distros repos and automatically installs all it’s dependencies( and doesn’t have to many like gnome terminal and konsole) I tend to use sakura, though xfce terminal is also pretty good.
Nitrokey would probably be my choice as both the hardware and software are open source( in fact you could probably build your own if you wanted to). I don’t trust yubikey as the firmware that runs on them is closed source so you just don’t know of it’s actually secure.
Why is this whole platform obsessed with twitter. I thought people came here to get away from mainstream social media, not hang on every little detail of how a rich dude mismanages his latest purchase.
Easy solution don’t use it!
Honesty though aren’t there laws to prevent companies from behaving like this, or are they paying the law makers too well.
The difference is twitter is just another big social media platform. Elon Musk isn’t potentially trying to ruin an open source federated alternative that fixes a lot of the problems with social media. He’s just messing around with and tanking a big corpo social media site.
So I honesty don’t really care about twitter as it will get us more users if he burns it down, if the Zuck doesn’t ruin us first.
Basically twitter isn’t a threat to us and could actually be a big help.
Threads could ruin everything we’ve worked for.
And nothing of value was gained
Throw your phone out. Get a small librebooted laptop and use an android emulator for any apps.
I know it’s an unobtainable dream, but a banking app for every bank on any platform.
“I USE ARCH BTW” there can’t have a distro discussion without that.
Nextcloud, after setting it up it gives me everything I love about Google and Apple’s cloud services without the privacy invasion or any of the other cons. And I even find it more stable and less buggy. 10/10
It’s not the thinnest thing ever, but I find my old ThinkPad X230 very light and easy to use for extended periods on my lap
Tried sending the video and got the same result (have WhatsApp for work) very interesting and exactly why I’m trying to get my friends on Matrix
I actually just did and I’m impressed that after several pages of search results I couldn’t fine anything. That means I’m doing a good job, because besides a Facebook account and an Instagram account I purely use to reach some friends I have no social media.
I’m by no means an expert, but how is it the phone can still make emergency calls if it has zero contact with the network if it’s simless? Seems like a solution that isn’t actually one, especially if you consider stuff like IMIE numbers.
And I’m sure if I could be bothered to look into this solution I would be right.
Plus most tracking and privacy violations work just as well if not better via WiFi.
