Oh CRAP

Critical Raster Angle Protrusion

What they are trying to say is that open source and libre solutions have rendered their investments shitty.

matchd comes with systemd so yours is bloat

Yes, I was thinking… How much tax on Google will force it to get out? I’d say it’s definitely a lot more money.

Also, what’s interesting is that… If Google got kicked out… Nothing would happen. There’s libre software for everything Google does.

Please stop with these useless articles. Yes, every world power likes gathering metadata. And no, USA is not a “better place” for metadata gathering.

Well, you fell on the sad trap of the “default flavour” of many distros.

I think GNOME only has that presence because… It’s american. Otherwise… No one can beat the possibilities and features of KDE Plasma. Truly a complete desktop, so good you could downgrade it to work like GNOME if you wanted.

Let me stop you right there: the chances of Jellyfin going rogue are much smaller. It’s libre software. It’s GPL. It’s copyleft. We are pretty much safe.

You are not a Plasma user it seems.

KDE Plasma Hack masterrace

What s the Plasma version?

If somebody knows about a trusted tool for easy deletion of specific chunks of info from Facebook?

I would like to keep some stuff so no copycats can be made, but I’d like to delete things such as my “liked movies” and shit.

I do use Signal. Everyone should have Signal for telephone contacts. But for the other stuff… I’d rather use a decentralized system.

Actually, I’ve tried DeltaChat, and it does seem to do everything right. It still needs some features, but it’s advancing fast and it’s already pretty usable, and device sync is amazing.

In terms of Matrix, yeah it’s not the best experience right now, but I guess it can still be fixable. XMPP has just too much technical debt and fragmentation, it seems.

Aside from that, it makes sense that it took Signal a while to get the sync feature because Signal ONLY stores messages locally. XMPP stores them on the server. I would expect to be able to access that information from anywhere. What’s the point of doing so anyway? Let me at least import the keys so I can unlock those messages. But it seems like you can’t.

Then losing all your project’s history, while also forcing you to stick to a single, unofficial (because there is no official) XMPP client for the rest of your life because there are no standardized multiplatform backups. I’m sorry but no.

You may call it a feature. I call it a huge fat bug.

That is very sad. I’ll be migrating out of XMPP. It’s intolerable that one cannot recover messages that are still there; or that even moving from one client to another implies you lose all of your history.

Yes, but also, your Taler wallet stores value too, I guess.

In any case, I wonder why Taler has not made it a point that they are (or could) be a payment system for the digital euro.

Could you expand?

It won’t be great if non-libre payment systems are still the rule.
