This is nice. I have a Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS which has 5 years of updates, so hopefully I won’t have to buy another phone until then.
I hope that by then, the hypothetical Pixel 11 has a replaceable battery, due to the EU regulations and that would make my (almost) perfect phone (if only they included a 3.5 jack too).
I don’t understand the downvotes. This is totally a valid reason to use a Pixel, specially with extended updates support.
In certain companies, people’s corporate email could be through Gmail (or whatever they’ve name their email services for businesses).
Let’s be honest, Gmail, being a Google service, was condemned to have an awful UI which can’t work without loading megabytes of JS into your browser.
The good news are that they still support mail clients, which everyone should be using except for those occasions you’re working from a device you do not own.
The bad news are that Gmail still analyzes your emails in the server side, and uses them to serve you tracking ads and train AI models. So maybe switching providers altogether is a better option for those who have a choice.
I didn’t know this one, and after looking through their website, I can’t trust them at all.
Dev’s email is gmail. First red flag. And their social media profile are Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Not to mention that all I can read about their “protocol” is shitty marketing speak. There’s no technical whitepaper. And there’s no code. It seems to be proprietary software which is enough reason to run away from it. Together with the rest of things, it looks like either it’s a honeypot or (more probably) a fake privacy initiative trying to grab some money/data from non technical users.
Briar and GNU Jami are the best privacy friendly P2P messengers. I think they have MacOS support but not sure.
SimpleX Chat, although not P2P, uses servers as relays and they get virtually not data from you. You can even switch relays daily or host your own. Depending on your use case, it could be useful since IMO it works better than P2P messengers (due to the limitations of P2P)
I had a few things about the 90’s antitrust but I hadn’t seen the edited video evidence. Thanks for the link, appreciated!
I’d love to, but let’s see how this one turns out first. It’s a lot of work and we haven’t even started writing.
do you happen to have a link? this sounds very much like Microsoft’s tactics yeah
awesome, I missed the DirectX conflict. the rest is also useful, thanks!
an anti-microsoft manifesto? That sounds nice, but I doubt it will ever reach that many people, we’re planning on putting it on a quick website of it’s own and just let it float around the web.
I don’t believe better billionaires are a thing. Bill Gates has done a lot of shady stuff, but he’s incredibly good at covering that up on the media. Anyway, I changed the title of that section because it was inappropriate (even if it was a reference to the movie).
it’s a pun with the Tarantino movie. Maybe not totally aproppiate
Another reason to just use local player. Just buy physical albums and rip them, buy the actual digital files (from eg Bandcamp) or if you can’t afford it right now, I’m sure you can find the files floating around the internet. Just make sure to buy the physical album when you can afford it.
Artists will receive far more support from buying their music this way rather than through Spotify which pays artists very little and the algorithm is against mid and small size creators.
Interesting. I like the UI. I doubt the aesthetic people on Tumblr would like it but that’s not the point.
it’s always welcome to have more options in the fediverse.
How is federation working, BTW? I see you’ve commented from wafrn, are you able to follow Lemmy communities from there?
