I understand that.
But the development will be in closed branches.
That has a greater chance of causing pains when GOS devs are adjusting these new features right?
Because now you, theoretically, have no upfront information about whatever bloatware google is about to inject in.
I wonder what this will do to grapheneOS. I was just about to flash it on my phone this weekend.
Yet another example of companies circling the wagons
Though not all tools here are FOSS. A lot of them are and I usually recommend it as a starting point.
Imo mastodon feels a bit jankier than lemmy.
Bluesky is pretty cool. It's like twitter except it's not completely deranged
Imo fake positive reviews are more effective than negative reviews
Posting a 5 star "this app finally helped me connect with fellow racists" will likely help more since it is less likely to be removed by Google for review bombing.
Looks like you unlocked nihilism.
Idk man, I just really like spending time with friends and drinking coffee.
Who cares if there isn't a higher purpose?
Fuck it we ball
Tank-ism is basically the fanboy equivalent of politics.
They criticize right wing states and fail to see the failure of left wing states.
It's the inverse of MAGAites.
Tankies and MAGAites want you in the same concentration camps except they call them different names and they do it for different reasons.
I really appreciate these lists.
I would like to point out, however, that some of these distros are not that user friendly. Arch is notoriously not beginner friendly, endeavouros is slightly better but I would still not recommend if you are just fresh off the boat from Mac or Windows. Opensuse is great but its very professional based.
Pick a distro that works for you. If they are open sourced thats already most of the way there! Even devs based outside of the EU will likely share our gripes against the US's authoritarian shift and anti-big tech vibes.
IMHO any Linux distribution will be a good change from Windows and Mac if you are trying to divest from US products.
Even if they are not european, they are open source.
That's a fair response and answers a lot of my doubts actually. Thanks!
