That’s very cool, or maybe not it seems it could only allow other stores to install software and not ‘whatever you want’, but are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony, whose consoles aren’t a very different case to apple iOS devices, as well? No mention in the article
For me the difference between a cli and a gui is like asking someone to do something speaking in a language they can understand and doing it just by pointing at things and doing gestures. It’s enough for ordering at a restaurant, but for more complex tasks it gets ridiculous, even at a restaurant you’ll get better results if you can ask for some information and understand what the server says
Lol I left with the APIcalypse, and I was an official app user, no regrets and never looked back. Why would anyone go to that shithole when you have the fediverse?

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time… a long time
Doubling the voltage for a given circuit would result in four times the power, P = V^2 R (*This is wrong, it’s over R, see comment below). So 6db
keyboard and mouse cables converted to fiber optic
Well now that doesn’t make any sense
Edit: format
I see, typical trap from this fuckers. You can use this as an opportunity to learn to flash firmwares to things and to not trust proprietary software, specially nothing in the cloud for your home automation
This Shelly thing appears to be the typical cloud SaaS platform. What does exactly make it open?
A CEO that brings lots of money and consistently gets to lower the share of your flagship browser seems like a good candidate to destroyed from within. How can Mozilla stay independent when most of their money comes from these ‘royalties’ and most of it is from Google? We’re talking hundreds of millions agains 7 mil in donations that barely pay for the CEO. How are they gonna push back against this webDRM shit google is trying to pull (or any other thing)?
I feel the same as you, I’ve been using Mozilla/Firefox since forever, because I felt they were doing things I’m aligned with. But I don’t know anymore. I don’t know if they are doing it or they have started to become just muppet opposition.
Enshittification spreads fast, once it takes roots its to late. But it sure seems like, lately, it’s an all out attack on any freedom left on the internet
This ‘related organization’ is Mozilla Corp, for-profit owned by the Mozilla Foundation that has Baker as its CEO as well.
I’m a lifelong Mozilla user, but these things stink a bit. I find even more concerning the dependency from google
Oh sorry, I didn’t read the original comment before answering. We seem to come from a similar place but I don’t know that bit of the phone was like ‘people died for you to have that phone so you can’t say anything about murder’ and that’s not fair. For most of us the alternative to owning a phone is just misery. And even if we can’t avoid causing misery to others by the mere act of existing, we can absolutely try to reduce it. Specially when, like here, we’re not talking about martyrdom or big sacrifices. Not giving money to a scumbag artist can be at most a wee bit inconvenient. Or pushing for longer with your phones instead of getting a new one every other year.
I agree with you in this one comment. You can see someone’s work and think it’s brilliant, and then when the dark secrets are unearthed you can think the fucker’s a monster, not incompatible at all. I think we should absolutely keep them on the books, but adding a footnote explaining how much of a cunt they were doesn’t hurt.
And about the movies, I would still enjoy most of them probably. With some of them is possible that my experience is somehow affected by what I now know and some will fall off the chart. And a few of them I would exclaim ‘I knew it!’ Lol. But I will actively try not to give any money or publicity to the 99 of them
In that kind of case the only real option is to walk away.
I agree. I sucks sometimes, but it can also be a push to try new things or, specially if more people jump off, to recreate the good things of the old place in a new one (ehem…)
Maybe you got stuck in the purism of math, in physics there seems to be lots of randomness in the universe, like everywhere all the time.*
But you do have a point in that as biological machines we don’t have much say in how our hardware (wetware? meatware?) is built or the programming that goes in, at least initially which could set us in a path to acquire or not a particular software or another. So how much free will can we really have? I think certainly not 100% absolute fee will, but maybe there’s some degree of freedom and therefore responsibility for one’s actions.
*Yes this could be a lack of understanding of how things really work in a underlying level, but for some reasons physicist believe it is true random.
Edit: grammar
I’m not gonna downvote you (yet) because maybe I’m not getting your point right, and I think you didn’t get mine which was the exact opposite to your third paragraph. I meant that no one’s perfect, and when you idolize them you create expectation that no one can match so sooner or later they’ll going to let you down.
Now not being perfect or ‘pushing societal boundaries’, which many would argue is one of the purposes or even a requirement of art, is not the same as being a complete piece of shit. I’m not supporting with my hard earned money or with publicity anyone who I know is gonna use it to abuse others, or to scam, or rapists… but I hope these where not the kind of ‘creative minds’ you were talking about, are they?
We should not make heroes. People are falible, don’t idolize them. You can of course still admire their work.
This is harder with artists though. They put more of themselves in their work and once you know an artist was an absolute cunt you can start seeing things in their art that you didn’t before or experiencing it differently and don’t like it anymore.
But if you still enjoy their work I think that’s fine too. Especially if they are dead and can’t profit from it, if they would profit from it I, personally, just pirate it and that keeps my conscience clean.
I just wanted to add that you can run gui applications through ssh with x11 forwarding, options -X or -Y (untrusted/trusted but at least in Debian back in the day they behaved the same). So if you wanted a gui file manager you run it in the ssh session on the remote server, sudo if you need but NEVER logged as root, and the window will pop on your local DE instead of having to run an entire desktop on each server
