Cool I might get a test number to play around with before I consider porting my main one.

A well deserved rtfm

How is the call quality?

An Fdroid version of the app? Awesome. I’ll check this out. I started out on GV but left years ago when I degoogled.

Edit: How is the call quality?

I’m not a programmer but I’ve been using linux for over 20 years. It’s crazy to me that someone who develops software for a living would not just run Windows but have never meaningfully ran linux. 🤔

‘Lol’ Three simple characters. “FLOSS software? Ridiculous. So DUMB.” He says to himself. Finally a single tap and his snarky comment begins it’s instantaneous travail through countless GPL licensed unix systems to reach his victim - an ignorant commenter on an open-source, federated lemmy instance.

I don’t like it and wouldn’t buy an HP as my next printer for software reasons alone. I’d suggest supporting another company or getting a used HP for free or next to nothing and buying refilled cartridges from aliexpress or amazon for 30-40% of what HP charges (this is what I do). It’s a shitty practice but it doesn’t make me want to get daddy government involved.

“Right to Repair” is different. If I buy a printer and the ink chassis breaks and I’m capable of sourcing a part and fixing it myself then I have a right to do that on my own because it’s mine.

Edit: As an aside if we explanded my initial proposal to encompass FLOSS hardware as well as software this wouldn’t be a problem because companies would be tripping over themselves for the government contracts.

What we need to do is: Make it illegal to run a business

Twitter doesn’t owe anyone anything. Kamala could go post anywhere else but she’s not even though the left hates Elon.

The idea that we should pass laws to force twitter to show certain info and expose endpoints to support third party apps is ridiculous. It’s their data and they aren’t putting a gun to anyone’s head.

Passing a law forcing the government to use only FLOSS software for day-to-day activities solves this problem, actually makes sense on a principle level and isn’t a ridiculous overreach of power.

…so it’s like it was during the hunter biden laptop story and covid?

Norm has wise words on this topic

I have a thinkpad that runs this. It’s a great little distro.

Hannah Montana Linux

I have a media server that I use and if I’m going to watch something I think that’s the only way to go. With things being the way they are though I’m starting to think that we should just return to books. The “content” industry is just a gambit to extract money from people while turning their brains off.

Be honest. You were shitting on conservatives not agreeing with me.

That doesn’t surprise me. The left and right paradigm flattens a ton of complexity into a boolean spectrum when the reality is far more complex than that.

Failure to change with the times and to learn from scientific advancements and social improvements is a conservative trait.

Literally lolled at this. This post is in response to a “far right” Elon Musk who owns the first company to ever fire a rocket into space, retrieve and reuse it. I’m sure he’s just taking credit for all the bleeding heart liberal geniuses working under him.

Is not changing your opinions with time and new info a respectable way to live your life?

🥱 Wow way to load your rebuttal to make yourself seem so erudite and above it all. The reality is that a ton of the “new info” turns out to be proven false or even to be outright lies. The reality is that you should be incredibly suspicious of “new info” because chances are it hasn’t been properly vetted and could be driven by an agenda similar to how companies fund research to prove their desired conclusions.

you’re massively misunderstanding the whole political spectrum but i don’t have the energy

I understand that politics is multi-faceted however the chart I responded to is 2D.

maybe we should give this whole “having black people freely move around” a second thought, what do you think?

Because that’s what I’m saying 🙄 Calling someone a racist or a nazi for not hating all of human history is a low-tier cop out but go ahead and take your upvotes.

liberals are not and have never been left wing

Remember I responded to a meme chart

Also for every inch the democrats have moved to the left, republicans have moved a mile to the right

Literally just an opinion.

Thanks for proving my point

This is true though. 1992 Bill Clinton would be a republican today. Biden supported a 1994 crime bill that is considered racist today. Obama didn’t support gay marriage in 2008. Now liberals are fighting for sex change treatments for children. People 30 years ago would consider such an idea a grotesque absurdity.
