It’s interesting that a closed-source app has good reputation among FOSS enthusiasts. Surely they are not a Microsoft or Apple, but still who controls your computer, you or them?

what’s the problem with mastodon?

liberal’s meaning is basically giving people rights

Hopefully, but it’s easier to tell each company what they should do instead of giving them rules that they try to workaround. There are many examples.

That’s also why I always use dev containers

You may see shorts in lemmy in the near future because of that.

Slack calls disabled for firefox users, but if you change the user agent to chrome it works…

there are products that I would buy if I would know they exist but I don’t because they don’t have enough money to do advertisment. It’s inherently an unfair competition. The only ads that I would like to see is a tematical search for all of the buyable products and services.

--- that might potentially sell
+++ that is pushed with money

If they want to fight hard, they just add the ads into the stream.

In a perfect world we wouldn’t have ads.

I liked this discussion. However, I think both of you have different axioms. It’s a pro-socialism vs pro-capitalism debate.

In capitalism, we need innovation to create new value. Or you can pollute water to sell water bottles which will have value now. It’s up to citizens to decide what to restrict that was publicly available or what to innovate.

In socialism, the innovation is only happening where it needs to happen carefully planned and funded by the government.

I’m rather socialist, so I’d defend it:

Having a software with inability to modify is injustice, It’s the same as polluting a water to sell it. Even if we need to pollute the water to sell it, it doesn’t justify pollution.

You can’t make a law for everything evil that corporations do. Social democracy is flawed inherently. We need direct decision power of people in those firms. Never gonna happen though.

yep, there are a lot better racist jokes. this was tasteless soft shit.

Just a little. Big corporations ruin the working class just to eat more profit. I wish they had received less love.

I wouldn’t use windows either

By the way, I am an apple hater because I tried apple after years of using Linux and it was a true mess. Here’s a story: I had to make an app building CICD pipeline and guess what? We had to run a macbook as a server because they fucking cannot share at least a VM for building. A CLI command brought up a GUI confirmation. How should I automate something that brings up a GUI. Garbage. Package management is horrible. Command line utilities was outdated. Case insensitive filesystem. Then Ruby…

And it’s not enough that they are shit, but they are actively holding back innovation. They held back PWAs for example. And they shit on open-source. They are the definition of vendor lock-in.

They look good though.

It works between android and any linux distro through kde connect. It let’s me do more than just clipboard sharing. e.g.: I could remote control my laser engraver through it.

Vertical integration and progressive company are good for Apple but for the consumer they are irrelevant I think.

Security is ok, privacy must be a joke, siri is listening, just like google. You have to be logged in to install an app from the store etc…

Pretty limited ui. Some might like it, some may don’t, but they can’t change nothing.

this is beautiful
