If the court ended up forcing Google to sell Android, shouldn't we worry that its license as an open source project could be removed and then it become proprietary?
that if we break tv's screen , tv charecters can get out of it and we can enter tv
I mean official Youtube app is already the worst app to use Youtube
AFAIK Google earn money from android by its apps being pre-installed on phones , so it's up to phones' companies to decide this ... I'm personally afraid of selling Android to a company that close source it
No because I personally laugh over my extremely silly jokes
Ability to feel slightly deeper while watching emotional films
Movies , audiobooks ,rarely apks and PDFs
Unfortunately alternative are closed source (ADM , IDM ) , I've heard that free download manager was open source but even if it's still , I won't recommend it because it was reported that it redirected Linux users to malicious links
I've always found download managers to be faster than browsers in downloading
Simple apps version 2 , which app is next ?
Federation is not something familiar or comfortable for an average normal person
Mastodon is just like Threads : a hype , wait for the hype to end and you'll see that it doesn't offer something that would impress an ordinary person who isn't a nerd or tech savvy enough to continue using it... What I'll say now is more like random thoughts about federation and it applies to any federated service but this post inspired my thoughts so ...
The two best features I can think of for Mastodon are :
- Open source: an excellent thing but it's probably not important for an ordinary person who still uses the products of big companies just because they are "convenient" and "common" even when his data is the cost
- federated: although it provides freedom to choose where you want to join, it creates a lot of confusion and inconvenience as well : I personally have somewhat specific interests and I usually tend to avoid public instances dedicated to "everything", however, every time I decided to join a federated service I got the same confusion : "which instance should I choose?" , I had two accounts on Mastodon before I deleted one of them ( and I'll probably delete the other soon ) and I felt this confusion the two times I created an account, I have two accounts on Lemmy and I felt this confusion the two times I created an account, one account on Peertube and it's the same ( this was the most difficult of them honestly because Peertube's filters are very bad and whenever I could find an instance that I considered good, it turns out that registration is closed, or needs approval), the same confusion also happened when I created an account on Kbin/Mbin , the same on Pixelfeed , the same when I searched for an instance of friendica and it will be the same when I think in the future to repeat the experience on any other federated service... Now, someone may come and say the famous sentence "it doesn't matter which instance you choose, at the end you can follow anything from any instance" and honestly this sentence is a pure myth imho because .. first : when you register an account in an instance, you will constantly notice the "local" section, which shows you what's happening on the instance you are in , and it'll form part of your experience in the instance depending on the instance itself and people on this instance , also , let's suppose that a large number of annoying users existed on a popular instance and the moderation of this instance couldn't solve the problem ( or didn't do anything about this in the first place) , what might happen is that moderation of other instances might decide to defederate with this instance, and this might affect an ordinary user who has done nothing but joined the instance - and any other person who isn't annoying but but ended up on this instance -, I know that this point is unreal currently but it might be real one day especially that some instances are known for not being tolerated with specific behaviors
- Another confusion that might happen ... I'll explain it with my own experience : when I was still using my first Mastodon account, I left the account for a few months and then decided to return ... but guess what happened ? I forgot which instance I signed up for in the first place ! fortunately, after two attempts in two different instances, I found the solution : I searched on a random instance for my Account (I still remember the username ) and was able to find it ... I was lucky in this, but I can't guarantee that everyone will be as lucky as me and will find a way to remember ( this is both a good and bad point for the federation , on the one hand I forgot where I registered because the instances are similar , and on the other hand I found the instance which I registered in using another instance )
Not privacy focused compared to other options, it's more for those who want customization options
The release page contains the apk and an old source code file ... it's not completely open source but there's still a source code
Hi

Beside DE and terminal commands , is there anything else I should try in a linux distro ?
Hi....
- I don't know what to say in the introduction, but in brief I have some questions about Linux, which were formed after trying some distributions on DistroSea and observing Linux communities on the Internet. Can you help with the answer?
-
I liked Gnome DE interface very much, but whenever I look at the empty workspace after closing an app , I feel that something is missing (sorry, I have been using Windows for almost 15 years). Is there an add on - or any other way - to install some apps on workspace? Or do I have to get used to it as it is ?
-
I read that Linux is more problematic on laptops than on personal computers, is this true? If so...what are the usual problems and is there a way to avoid them?
-
Are there any distributions that come with the minimum pre-installed apps ? ... I mean not even a video or music player
-
If I want to delete a pre-installed app (let's say the default browser), can this be done easily or does it require root, like Android?
-
Does rooting invalidate the system from obtaining updates?
-
I read that switching DEs is easy... but how exactly is it done? Something in the settings, or downloading the interface independently, or customizing it to be similar to the other, or something else?
-
Lazy question : What are wayland and docker? I see a lot of people mentioning them
- Sorry for the many questions, and thanks in advance
A few minutes ago I suddenly woke up , I didn't sleep well
At the beginning everything was normal , then I blinked and ...
The lighting suddenly became more yellow (and unnatural) and the closet I was looking at turned into a frightening and shocking appearance (the closet itself, it was vandalized in a way that I can't even remember to describe). I remained in shock for three or four seconds, then I found myself closing my eyes tightly ( it was an involuntary reaction ), and when I opened my eyes again, everything returned to normal.
This is the first time in my life that this has happened to me
So ... any scientific explanation?
Thanks in advance
