People have to learn to separate software from its developer.
For example, I don’t care about Hyprland lead dev being an asshole sometimes, if the WM he’s developing works good. I don’t care about Cider devs political positions if it doesn’t directly affect my experience with the software.
And people also have to learn, that if someone uses any particular software, they aren’t necessarily using it the way developer pointed out they should.
I use GrapheneOS on my device, but that doesn’t mean that I completely follow devs philosophy. I don’t use Vanadium, 'cause I don’t wanna support Chromium monopoly. I use F-Droid to install my apps, even if developers think, that I should get my apps directly from its devs.
Does GrapheneOS founder or developer philosophy that you don’t agree with makes Graphene a bad OS? Of course it doesn’t. GrapheneOS is still one of the best options on degoogling your device if not the best.
FUTO just launched their privacy focused keyboard app. I know there have been quite a few posts about keyboard recommendations, so this might be worth checking out if you’re not happy with your current one.
=> Windows (for an awful long time)
=> Ubuntu (a few months or so)
=> Windows (over a year and a half)
=> Fedora + Windows dual-boot (half a year)
=> Windows (a few months or so)
=> openSUSE TW + Windows dualboot (a year)
=> openSUSE TW without dualboot (over a half a year already).
It was a long run on trying to escape Windows, but I managed to do it. As of today, I’m still using openSUSE. I like it very much and I have no plans on distrohopping or returning back to Windows.
There is also Vesktop by Vencord devs, which uses web version too and allows to install plugins and custom themes with ease.
Also, please note that using any 3rd-party client/tool/script is against Discord’s TOS.
Note that any text send to discord currently stays there forever.
Yep, but there are Undiscord and discord-delete, that can bulk-delete your messages. Both are outdated, though and don’t work perfectly well.
Hi everyone, I did stumble across adguard and was thinking about buying a family lifetime license (for the apps, not talking about adguard home here)....
My favourite DE has got to be Cinnamon, as much as I like KDE and XFCE, I prefer the simplicity of cinnamon where as in KDE has a bit too much of everything in the customization scene and XFCE I find a little tricky to get tiling working right....
I use KDE, because it runs perfectly on wayland and covers 100% of my needs.
Budgie looks very promising now and I want to explore it further. Also LXQT is perfect for older devices or if you want a KDE, but simplier.
fooyin is a music player built around customisation. It offers a growing list of widgets to manage and play your local music collection. It’s extendable through the use of plugins and many widgets make use of FooScript to offer an even deeper level of control.
Audio playback is supported by FFmpeg alongside multiple options for output including ALSA and PipeWire, with more to come.
Don’t get me wrong. As far as we know, no malicious code have been funded. The very fact that the Signal was sponsored by the CIA is suspicious (maybe I used some incorrect words, sorry if so). Of course, it’s totally up to you whether you think that fact is sus or not.
Why do so many people still hate GrapheneOS?
