Sometimes I use chromium for some specific sites that won’t work in firefox, and unfortunately, the difference in performance is noticeable.

For anyone affected, just download books from annas archive, convert to your format using calibre or any other tool, copy via usb and be happy. You don’t need amazon and I’d argue that you don’t even have to use amazon as well.

At this point, the shutdown might even be strategic, to make it more difficult for the us to gather leaked information

But the thing with anything that involves network effect (like any os adoption) is that the growth is very slow at first, but it grows faster and faster as more people get in. We used to be grouped along with “others” in charts, then came the “counted with less than 1%” mark, and it took a long time. Then the 1% milestone, then 2%, much faster than from not counted to counted, then 3%, faster than it moved from 1 to 2. Now stats vary from 3 to 5 %, depending on the source. It’s getting really fast, and will grow even faster. This is a very significant difference

It’s so awesome to see linux getting more and more media attention. I hope it helps grow the userbase

Android driver? like running windows apps on android?

Would running an os in a separate partition just for games mitigate the risks?

That’s one thing that I suspect to be making it hard for the fediverse to attract users. Maybe lot of people are just tired of social networks and not in the mood to try a new one, so they end up just drastically reducing their social media usage and are happy with it.

This case is a good thing to happen, because the resulting jurisprudence will give us more certainity about the agpl and if the onlyoffice people lose, we will have the codebase available in a no bullshit repo from another group

Institutions don’t want to or simply don’t care. Anything else said is just an excuse to give a good-looking response

Judging by the quote, they’re likely going to bluesky. They will say that mastodon has a too restricted reach. It’s like a pattern. Every time I see someone coming with that “there’s no ethical [thing] under capitalism”, instead of promoting the anticapitalist things or the most ethical choices, they use the phrase to justify using another capitalist thing.

reaching milestones always feel like the first time (╥_╥)

Suddenly realizing I use linux for more than 10 years

[despair noises]

How can I do better?

Spread the foss to your friends and family!

Most of the criticism onlyoffice faces is due to their shady handling of open source. Another group forking and developing over it has potential to be great for us, if they’re more open and transparent.

When they close, it will be a huge loss of information in the internet…

Open source android apps really need to be more known!

We’re all infuriated by recent mozilla doings regarding firefox, but come on, people, this time it’s a nice feature added.

The big tech is, indeed, trying to extend their reach to linux and open source in general, but it’s still the best we have, and it still goes against them. The good thing about open source is that it’s resilient and highly adaptable. A few distros have been making experiments with other kernels, and if things go too bad, they might replace linux with anther one and we will persevere. It’s also possible for some group to fork linux and create a parallel community version, like happens with a lot of open source software developed by big tech companies. But you don’t need to worry, because linux remains fine and will probably be for a good while.
