Internet Issues...

I am maybe too optimistic, but I hope there's a shift in users' awareness with tech so that surveillance capitalism are forced to change their business model.
Not sure government interference will happen any time soon, but here's to hoping.

The best part of cli apps?

No gtk and Qt theme inconsistencies, which drove me mad!

Use Artix or PCLINUXOS ;)

Dear Foss Community, we need ONE decentralized IM platform with ONE great looking app for all platforms.
Element is close, Conversations is close, but not there yet. It has to be easy to register etc for non-techy people. To me it feels like a solution is years away?

Am I wrong? Please show me the light.

We also need foss solutions for the smqrtphone market, be it a phone, an OS and an app store. The world need this, but I know serious commitments are being made towards solving these issues.

Your colleagues, of three years, misspell your name THAT IS IN THE SIGNATURE OF EVERY FUCKING EMAIL YOU SEND THEM!
FFS HUMAN!

When can we expect Mark Zuckerberg's announcement that he's running for President?

I can't help but thnk he'll eventually get bored with FB and all the data, and would like to use that power elsewhere....

Progressive.
