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

InternetCitizen2 , 15 days ago to linuxmemes in Seriously, WTF is up with that?

Like what?

That's fair

InternetCitizen2 , 15 days ago to linuxmemes in Love me some arbitrary executed code /s (Plasmoids are not themes)

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

InternetCitizen2 , 18 days ago to Privacy in Are right wingers creating FUD around Signal?

When do they not spread FUD?

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.

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.

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.

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

InternetCitizen2 , 30 days ago to linuxmemes in Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our unshittified experience

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

InternetCitizen2 , 1 month ago to Memes in Would you?

Still a bad ending for the kiddnaper.

InternetCitizen2 , 1 month ago to linuxmemes in nuclear take:

Same. Might give it another try.

InternetCitizen2 , 1 month ago to linuxmemes in Top post of PCMR on Reddit today XD

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.
