this is why6 I use LibreWolf set to clear all cookies & history + a password manager :p

this is not Something I experienced as I switch in 2021 (with a failed attempt in 2018)

can someone approve or deny of this

Theres another fella who forked it making vistathemeplasma which also looks great, its linked the the aero repo. Both are extremely accurate for linux windows skins. Aero FTW

I’m gonna guess its wackyidea’s aero theme plasma. I use it myself, its fantastic.

data hoarders we out here

was that nukeop? that Guy is a known asshole. He was also quoted Saying licenses don’t matter and threw a huge fucking hissy fit when someone forked his project and gave it a copyleft license because of making such a stupid statement. Unfortunately the website archiving the drama is down, and I could only find an archive if the first iteration of it (it had at least 2 more paragraphs after this) https://archive.is/UT9Xe

I this some sort of dependency joke I’m too Fedora to understand?

Thank you for commenting Something that isnt incomprehensible. I dont feel I agree with them Saying that’s Why google still has a monopoly. I feel the blame largely falls on Mozilla’s poor management and lack of doing anything new.

Considering I have no fucking idea where to even start with what youre referring to, I think I’ll just be happy instead of entertaining an asshole. Blocked.

I mean I understand why you feel that way but if someone were to refer to me as a woman, as a cis guy I would take it as a sign of disrespect, so I feel more obliged to take the side of the people who are complaining. I feel it is somewhat relevant considering one of the projects mentioned is developed by the people in the link.

Explain

Mozilla has existed for over 20 years and Chromium still has a monopoly.

can you be more specific about what part of the community is toxic?

G Services were never a part of android though, and android is fully functional without them if youre running a FOSS suite of apps. There are multiple options to restore GService functionality while maintaining privacy such as MicroG which is a reverse engineering of GServives to make them FOSS, and Sandboxed GServices which is literally just gservices, sandboxed, which will provide 1:1 compatibility with all your apps provided youre fine with having google code on your device.

In terms of “control” on Android, it really depends on what you mean. On Android you can still uninstall every app you want provided you have access to ADB, unlike Windows where you can’t uninstall the damn built in web browser. Android also makes a lot of privacy features easier to access such as the ability to immediately turn off your location/camera/mic on the fly if you add them to your notification shade, as well as the Android 12+ feature of the “privacy bubble” that shows you if any running app is currently using location, camera or mic. There are definitely things Windows is “better” at, such as tweaking the UI/UX, but in all fairness if M$ could disallow that without breaking their legacy codebase they would.

I mean, what are you referencing specifically because Android is still an open source operating system with healthy forks (Lineage, Calyx, Graphene, Muerena, PixelOS etc.) and ChromiumOS is open source I believe, even if its just a fork of Gentoo. Is there something I’m unaware of?

The open source nature kind of prevents that. Other projects have been made an example of like OwnCloud -> NextCloud, Emby -> Jellyfin, and I’m sure there are more I just can’t think of ATM.

I would be all for this if I didn’t run into a couple thousand dollars and threw it into nvidia for the purpose of hoping I’d be able to retire one day

mostly enterprise people

I have a framework :p
