Absolutely disgusting. I was too busy to patch youtube for my dad this one time and he’s completely sucked into AI generated shorts. Every time I see him, he’s watching AI generated shorts. I’ve been blocking that shit for him for yeara.

It helps the rich and power entrench their power, so nah. Caution will not be heeded.

Also Nixos, when it took an embarrassing amount of time to purge the backdoored xz dependent packages. If there were any problems with Nixos, this would’ve been it.

Which is exactly why you’re free to license your code under GPL. If corpos can use, then so can you.

True, but probably not the point. I’m not American, but my country has been banning smartphones too. Apparently kids stopped trying to talk to one another, they just scroll. A few kids will sneak phones, but the culture of avoiding interaction will be broken if they can’t scroll openly.

It even specifically requires GPS location unlike other messengers. Boo.

Using Sailfish OS is just trading Android for another proprietary OS. Why even bother going to all that effort and still end up back in the same place?

We have real mobile linux distros like postmarket OS and actual open source desktop environments like Phosh or plasma/gnome mobile.

Hell yeah. Next, they can get a cut of every dollar made! Or a subscription service with strict usage limits and add-ons to re-enable disabled functionality. It’s one or the other.

Well damn, I wouldn’t have expected that average arch users needed to know how to assess pkgbuilds given how enthusiastically arch users have been trying to sell the distro to first time linux users and other newbies.

Is thr solution truly to tell people to read the build instructions and decide if a package is safe? I’m not an arch user, but I’ve used nixos and assessing nixpkg before installation gets old real quick real fast. Somehow I really doubt telling an average user to assessing pkgbuild on their own will be very effective.

That’s fine. Unfortunately people are using it to coordinate open source software development. I don’t know how people do it. You have to use the search box and scroll through hundreds of chat messages to find some code you need. It doesn’t show up on google. It’s just horrible.
