It’s almost mind-blowing how people still rely on Azure, Windows, and MS Office for really sensitive shit. Like, MS might as well be an arm of the US Government if they aren’t already. All the foreign governments storing sensitive shit in Azure servers is just fucking wild to me. So what if the data centres are stored outside of the USA? The parent company is still the parent company.

My biggest concern is the whole “removing powerful features = user friendliness!” mentality that these big tech companies have been pushing for years.

Why make users smarter when you can make software worse and charge more for it?

The dummies don’t get the bigger picture, they just see “nobody needs powerful features that make things too confusing for me!” My hope is that they don’t flood Linux with this drivel - profit margin or not, it’s a toxic cultre that has already been created in commercial software.

I hope this doesn’t mean the enshitifcaiton of Linux as we start to cater for people who don’t want to learn… We watched it with Microsoft products, though they also had a profitable reason to nerf their software.

I think Krita does proper CMYK

Also, for Arch folk: AUR isn’t a traditional repo. Always be careful what you pull from there. Check pkgbuild files for weird shit and avoid unpopular bin files.

I can double check it. I tend to avoid flatpaks and appimages at all cost if I can.

Does the flatpak have browser sources and custom docks, because none of the other packages I could find did.

My only issue is that I use OBS, and the best OBS package is one in AUR and it causes some headaches when ffmpeg updates, still not nearly as bad as some of the dependency hells I’ve ended up in back in my Ubuntu and Debian days lol

I’ve had almost no problems in Arch so far. I can’t say the same for Ubuntu, though my problem with Ubuntu was often having to wait for ages to get things to be updated.

Get him to check out Krita. It has Photoshop style binds but they’re missing a few things gs you’ll have to set… But depending on what he does with Photoshop and how adaptable he is, it could be a viable solution.

So wait, what does any od that have to do with Ladybird? The comment they replied to was literally about Ladybird… Ooooookay then.

Isn’t Graphene still Android? What’s stopping Google from turfing AOSP so you won’t be able to sideload to them either?

We need something completely independent from Android. Would be great if phone manufactures would make their pocket computers easier to interface like tradition PCs.

For some, sure. For me, no… I genuinely feel bad for anybody who’s head is so far up their ass that they fail to see the humour around the irony here.

I am also genuinely confused as to how there can be documentation for a web browser that has gendered terms in it in the first place… Aside from the browser name, what other gendered terms would there be?

Arch is finicky?

I am envious of your lifestyle, I think lol

Lmao there’s actually something kind of hilarious about a person trying to push gender neutral terms into documentation for a program called “Ladybird”.

Did they want the project to be renamed to “Lady/Man/Thembird” too? /S

I can’t stand the guy. Seems like all he does is post videos about him getting triggered about software being developed by people who are vocal about their care for others.

Like buddy, do you understand what the FOSS community mostly consists of?

iOS is on track to push ID-based age verification.

We need flip phones like we had back in the 00s. Smartphones are about to get hella dumb.

What point will there be in using Android anymore? This was the only redeeming feature they had left

They killed the heart monitor
They killed IR blasters
They killed the headphone jack
They killed removable batteries
They killed SD card support

And now they’re about to kill freedom and ownership of the device you bought.

Are the phones gonna be totally free? What’s the point of using Android moving forward? Will this be the new start of classic flip phones?

I hope this leads to a LOT of people moving to iOS.

If we have to pick between two overpriced Fisher Price Phones, I’ll go for the one that was always against its users on the hope that there’s still a chance they’ll change…

Ideally, we need affordable Linux phones ASAP.

Just wait until they start pushing this with computers too. We have continually coddled normies by dumbing shit down instead of pushing them to be smarter. No doubt they’ll look at this as a good thing too.
