Like what?

InternetCitizen2 OP ,

That's fair

InternetCitizen2 OP ,

I guess I mean someone in my city not the government.

InternetCitizen2 ,

I stay close to vanilla. For others its a form of art.

InternetCitizen2 ,

I think its value neutral. It might not collect data aggressively, but its not trying to protect you either.

InternetCitizen2 ,

When do they not spread FUD?

InternetCitizen2 ,

Yes.

It is wild that people will say that using apt to install things is too hard, but then suggest a registry edit to remove Bing from seach. Windows just isn't as casual user friendly as it pretends to.

InternetCitizen2 ,

A bit crass, but the truth is quite harsh too. While I do agree with your point overall; I don't think people are wrong to protest. We need consumers to bitch and whine about things rather than take corporate laying down.

InternetCitizen2 ,

It is an eye raiser, but it is also somewhat of a red herring. Tor is a very solid privacy browser that started as a government project; not sure if they are still funded today. Nothing is ever going to be a perfect solution (cat and mouse game), but it does strike me that Telegram is more concerned about features than it is about privacy.

InternetCitizen2 ,

They have write a formal cover letter.... And enclose a check.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Just because they aren't as punitive anymore doesn't mean its free.

InternetCitizen2 ,

It would be more like MS selling extended support, which is fair and relevant to something being on the update page.

Would it be bad if a community driven distro had a donations link once a year in the package manager? Not really. A bit annoying, but we still live in a world where they need money too.

InternetCitizen2 ,

So how are people going to know who you are and how to support you? First time I'm hearing from you. Leave a note somewhere. Your altruism is appreciated, but you do need to eat too! Don't passively let capitalism take advantage of you. You don't need to extend your values to corporate.

Money still runs the world. Windows or FOSS devs. I wish things were different, but you are wasting your political support on something that is not a big deal.

Ubuntu Pro is hardly an ad and not comparable to candy crush. Letting people know of a service to get more support is within scope (which is a target for enterprise anyway). To be clear there are better things to criticize about Canonical.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Look my you ran an update and the update program is letting you know how you can get extended support if you needed. It is with in the scope of the activity in a way that Candy Crush and One Drive are not. If Kden live was more explicit about being part of the KDE universe I don't think there is harm to that either. Ubuntu pro is not malicious or vendor locking (in its current state). What is the big deal that you spend so much energy here? Letting people know how to get 12 years of support instead of just the standard 5? There is a cost to doing that and ensuring quality. The discussion on the distribution paying upstream is important, but kind of a separate matter (and yes they could be doing more).

This is supposed to be for a company that has multiple machines and needs security back ported. Any regular desktop user can just opt out. Real question, what changes do you want to see to make things better? Like we do need to improve communication on how to support FOSS in general. I am not a particularly good programmer, so don't commit bug fixes. I live in the shit hole US South and 50% below median for the state, so my money contributions are never that high. If we are allergic to Ubuntu Pro or x packages are looking for funding. in npm, how do we really address anything? I get that ads are very invasive, but i think you are picking the least impressive hill to die on here.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Wait something can be slower than Zypper? Does it have a bunch of sleep(1) scattered around?

InternetCitizen2 ,

Same. Might give it another try.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Still a bad ending for the kiddnaper.

InternetCitizen2 ,

¡Si!

InternetCitizen2 ,

They aren't, its just acclimation. Later they can say its been here for a while and the early adopters can say its not a big deal.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Its an ad because its a third party. Pinball is at worst bloat, but it at least doesn't ask for money. If MS was really recommending apps then why not Chrome or LibreOffice? Its clear candy crush compensate somehow on top of not being a competitor. Thus its an ad.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Well I stand corrected.

InternetCitizen2 ,

And then there is Hanna Unstable, aka Arch

InternetCitizen2 ,

If you're asking about prices; then you can't afford it.

InternetCitizen2 ,

The real solution is to not go to Applebee's and make your own frozen food at home.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Who says he isn't with a personal/private account and uses the public persona twitter one for the reach. As shitty as twitter is its still the gravitational center for bursting news.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Pay us cash or data is quite corrosive. I suppose it is fair in a capitalist system where the line must go up, how do we argue this to the general public (and by extension our legislature).

Also is there a reason to believed Meta won't sell a paying user's data anyway?

InternetCitizen2 ,

He seems to have left a test foreskin on the deployment build.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Would you say Tor is bad because its from the US navy?

InternetCitizen2 ,

I would say living in a free society isn't without risks.

InternetCitizen2 ,

I feel like this is a Schwarzenegger movie.

InternetCitizen2 OP ,

I have not heard of it and it sounds like what I am looking for.

InternetCitizen2 OP ,

I think this might be the way I go

InternetCitizen2 OP ,

Typically called Arkansas.

InternetCitizen2 ,

For me I just went all CPU with my laptop and save gaming for my Steam Deck or my old 360.

InternetCitizen2 OP ,

The un-credited OOP.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Vendor lock in. Still melts the brain.

InternetCitizen2 ,

Same

InternetCitizen2 ,

They also said this during their anti trust thing in the 90s.

InternetCitizen2 OP ,

Fedilab for Mastodon.
