Human beings could be great but went for greath.

Haha yeah. Well I'm an arch user for at least a decade, and i saw manjaro come.. It was very popular in the beginning. Then they started making strange decisions, but I think many people are still happy with it. Otherwise I think endevourOS is doing good. :)

I haven't seen Linux users fights over distros... Ever. We just have lots of choices, and most of them are awesome.

Such a chad move. Respect!

I don't use Google anymore except for Google maps in my car. :) I guess they can spy on where I'm driving. But no search history.

I mean yeah, all these big tech companies are trying to make their products feel faster, because that's the only space they can compete. When it comes to privacy, they all lose.

Well, Google has been caught trying to make their sites slower / malfunctioning on Firefox. Usually they get away with it by saying it's a mistake.

Still the best browser, even though the majority left it for the speed they think chrome has.

Apple likes to control the entire ecosystem, and wanted to make their own processors to make them more efficient and produce less heat. They succeeded too, the M2 and M3 chips are incredible.

So I think they would have ditched anyone, but Intel probably also made it easier by being so bad. :)

The point is to see the value of the stock go up, so when you sell, you make a profit. Some people buy and sell daily, some do it yearly or only when they need the money.

Money needs to be working for you somewhere to make up for inflation, at the very least.

How can they know if an email is disposable or aliased? I use those all the time with fastmail. Works fine with github.

But fastmail is not exactly private since it's hosted in Australia, part of the five eyes pact. Maybe that's why they are ok with it.

I'm sure conservatives have the same views on the other side, something negative, based in fear. If you think about it, all of politics is fear of change in a direction we don't want, but others do.

In a family when this happens, family members talk about it and try to understand eachother. At least in a good family. In a dysfunctional one, family members go to war with eachother. And that's what I see in politics. There is no feeling of being humans on a ball together at all.

 

Please try to comment and post things now, and see if they federate again.

Hopefully you see your activity instantly federated. I have tried making comments both to instances running Lemmy 0.19.1 and 0.18.5 and they all federate like they should.

Hope you have the same experience! 🥳

 

We need a health checker for this health checker, ok?

Can someone rewrite this in Rust? :P

 

I thought this was kind of a fun way to show discontent with Chromiums added Web Integration - someone made a pull request to simply remove it.

Its already been approved by a lot of us, why not add your approval as well? Click the Approve button and add your name to the list of people supporting the removal.

Google will of course not care but I thought it was a fun gesture.

 

I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

The awesome Taylor Lorenz reports this on Mastadon. Highly recommend to follow her if you like these updates about what's going on.

It's really nice to see this desktop come along. A third proper Linux desktop environment like Plasma and Gnome written in Rust. From system76.

Just loving this project. I think it will become real popular real quick when it ships with PopOS.

 

I think they are leaving out something quite important in this blog post - nobody is using their real names here.

It's very different from Meta or Google or whatever big tech company people have accounts on, where they know your real name and many more details, such as phone number and address.

I don't see the privacy danger in someone sweeping up what we are talking about here, since we are pseudo anonymous. Am I missing something?

Whats the value of random aliases discussing something and why is that a privacy issue?

Kagi is crazy good (lemmy.today)

Here I was in my own little bubble appearently, thinking people were using https://kagi.com to search now that it exists, but a comment I got made me realize that's probably not the case...

You really should try this search engine. I switched to it 6 months ago and before that I was using duckduckgo, and often had to throw a !g in there to get proper results.

I remember setting it as default as a test and then I just forgot about Google. :)

It's not free however, you will have to pay a few bucks for it. But to me it's about supporting alternatives to Google which I very happily do. It's only a few bucks.

Have you tried it and what was your experience?
