This comnent sums up the internet pretty god damn well.

I’mma steal it. Thanx.

And thanx for good laughs too.

One thing that could combat big tech platforms would be one singular fediverse app with somewhat respective name to it.

The problem for mass adoption is scattered ways to connect. People in general want thingsa simple. Like FB is FB every way you want to use it.

Second thing would be to lure idols in fediverse and their flocs would follow.

I saw the frustration in my wife’s face when I tried to get her in. I dropped reddit for Lemmy and therefore I use this app called Voyager and I connected it in sopuli.xyz. She was like excuse me what? Then I explained this is my way, you can have bunch of other apps and connect to other instances and you can read posts from other platforms too. She was like excuse me what? Aaaand then there is this Pixelfed, Mastodon, Friendica and and and… with apps these and these. Week after that she managed to install Voyager, connected it in some instance and read things. She still uses big tech platforms as “there’s no one here”.

*eYou could be the one for precisely those masses that need it fucking simple. They have made their head dumber with algorithms.

It’s onomatopoethic and widely undesrtandable regardless of language.

Chuck Norris did not die. Everybody else did.

Konqueror

Yes. We’re talking about Konqueror fork

The main security property for any browser is between the chair and desk.

I hear you. I like the idea of higlybskilled in ‘n out type customers’ high speed lane. I’m in many occations that guy.

But.

I don’t like thecself checkout over paid personnel at all. I have lately shifted from speedrun to more laidback and thus hsve time to wait in line for human checkout.

Now the more we refused self checkouts, the more they have to hire workers. Thecself checkouts are found only in dominant retail chains.

Actually ithhhmmhmng…zzz

Article basically says Google bad yet in the very bottom is a button to add in preferred Google sources.

If Google bad, steer away from it then.

Take three people. One is A one is B and one is Z a troll/flamer or whatever wildcard.

A and B have opposing views and are having civilized conversation about a topic. Then the Z tries to come in between with some shitty statement or troll comment or whatnot. A and B can still ignore the stupidity and stay with the topic.

Now multiply then by 100. You will see variations of each group and their micro-/macro inclinations towards others. One or many of the Z’s or A/B inclined to Z can get in between A and B and due to inclinations, there will be more breeding ground for the shittyness. A and B can’t ignore the multitude of sitty comments spamming around the convo. Their only option is to steer away. What is left? Bunch of monkeys in a shit throwing contest. Be it hate, memes, trolling, flaming…

Now I like memes if they really are funny and have a point and if they even evolve as they used to. But I still prefer knowledge content. And no. I do not produce high quality comments. They’re all flawed somehow. An imprint of me.

But basically it’s about variations in masses.

Yeah. Until the major enshittification with the name of Unity or whatever it was called after Gnome 2.

And now the last enshittification, fucking persistent snaps, in the 'buntu family removed me from Kubuntu to Arch family.

And don’t get me wrong, snaps have their place. I had one packet I needed from snap and wanted to have everything else from ppa repositories like the normal way. And then the shit started to change my FF to snap. No matter what I did, prioritize and all. No awail.

Yeah. Been through the buntu’s and gave them a lot of chances. Kubuntu was really good all the way to 25.04.

I miss the periodical enshittification.

My Linux is not ever going to have any age verification.

I’m not living in those backwards contry and if that push ever comes to shove, there will always be way around it. It’s the beauty of open source, no entity is liable to comply. And we’re in the brink of ad-hoc internet which would render that stupid centralized and overgoverned shit to zero.

Just listen to AC/DC. 17 albums of one song.

Short answer = Nope.

PlugOS does not run in the phone, but in the thumb device named PlugMate.

Running OS in any phone is not possible as bootloaders are tailored to specific SoC:s and proprietary to manufacturers and they really do not share the sources.

If it would be possible we would have quite wild mobile phone linux scene.

Well. When masses opt out from newer equipment and companies revenue needs them to use theur services, they just need to revise end of support date.

I myself will not ever use thin clients. If that ever comes to reality, I will just drop my phone off.

I also think that as Google is closing it’s android ecosystem next september and the phones will be more expensive there will emerge need and supply for lighter and open chips to build alternatives to ios and android.

Laptops on the other hand seem to have reasonably long lifespan. My oldest still on use is from 2011.
