Obviously the FOSS community has a heavy left wing bias. I personally haven't heard anything about Proton or Ladybird being controversial outside of Lemmy and Reddit. Clearly It's not just about transphobia and sexism (which I think is an overreaction). A lot of people in the FOSS community left Proton just because of one positive tweet about Trump (from an Asian immigrant living in Switzerland). I think it's really unhealthy for the FOSS community to jump ship the second a platform doesn't share their political opinions.

Calling someone far-right for not wanting to implement a useless pronouns feature is a bit wild.

Where do you draw the line though? I feel like that's a slippery slope.

 

YouTube won't let me watch this video with my VPN on. Is this a new thing?

It's really bad on lemmy and reddit.

This is why I hate the FOSS community. Everyone freaks out and cries wolf the second a platform doesn't share their political opinion, even if it's completely irrelevant to privacy or FOSS.

Men have better motor reflexes. Speed and strength is also a factor.

It takes like 1 minute. How often do you reset your system?

Idk what the fuss is about. Brave is a decent option with all the crypto stuff turned off.

The problem is that everything is so reliant on apps nowadays. Paying for parking? There are multiple apps for that. Want to make payments on the go? Gotta use the banking app. Want to buy a bus or a train ticket? Download the app. Appointment with a dentist or a doctor? Download our app that has 500 built in trackers! Here in Scandinavia It feels impossible to live without a smartphone and these stupid apps. At least make a web app so that I don't have to download spyware. I would love a linux phone, but if it isn't compatible with these apps I might as well just get a Google Pixel running GrapheneOS.

I've never seen an ad in my mailbox. Even if they did, they have to make money somehow. At least they're not selling my data.

 

I'm looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn't find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don't think it should be that hard to figure out.
