  • The idea that you have no power is a lie.

  • nuclear family is modern? Before wwII, most people lived in extended households with multiple generations

    I meant you can build exactly the type of family you want, nuclear or extended.

  • Public key cryptography and signatures are common technologies nowadays.

  • It is possible to build an age verification system, where you use your actual ID with a cryptographic process without any personal data. The technology has existed for decades now.

  • They are using the wrong kind of Linux! My kind of Linux is superior, because it’s broken in a different way and more difficult than yours.

  • I‘m already exploring Linux. Both GNOME and KDE actually have sensible UI design and consistency in their own way.

    I‘m starting to lose hope that this will become better. They have been stuffing macOS and iOS with endless features and their UI design is optimized for nice looking screenshots, not actual use.

    The worst is everybody else is still copying Apple‘s UI design trends.

    Photos.app has never reached the usability of iPhoto, that it replaced. System Settings is a convoluted pile of over engineering.

    The hoops you to jumpt through to run software I download from a website have reached infuriating levels.

  • Even Meta isn’t very successful with their much cheaper Meta Quest Series. VR Headsets are mostly toys.

  • Spotlight has been getting worse for years.

    Lots of crap in the results. It can’t even find files anymore, I know exist.

    Spotlight was great when it came out in 10.3 or 10.4.

  • I have an iPad myself and try to use it to work every now and then. I always run into pretty basic limitations on iPadOS very quickly. For example working with large file on a network share is painful. The file manage is a slow toy compared to the Finder. The limited RAM and no swap means app will lose state regularly. Transferring data between applications is still cumbersome.

    they were constantly talking about the push to unify macOS and iOS UI

    They made several attempts at it and none succeeded. There's lots of shared frameworks, Mac Catalyst, and Swift UI. None of them work consistently or are particularly good.

    iOS and iPadOS have fundamental limitations baked into the design that severely limit it.

    Making a unified mobile, tablet, touch, and desktop OS was also tried by Microsoft and Ubuntu and the results were weak to mixed.

    What Apple really needs is a new paradigm. For that they need a vision, which they don't have since Steve Jobs died.

  • Homebrew is supported on Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora.

    I use it on my recent Linux Mint install. Mint has pretty old packages or enormously bloated flatpacks, that come with limitations.

    neovim only came in an ancient version, that doesn't support lazyvim. Nicotine+ came as ancient from the Mint packages or as a 4 GB monster via flatpack.

    I used Homebrew and everything installed quickly in current versions and worked like a breeze.

    The great thing about Homebrew is that removing it is as easy as rm -r /home/linuxbrew

    Nix is great as well of course and very powerful. Can be a bit of a bitch to write all the config files though.

  • This is very bad advice for cold weather.

  • You can now use detailed open source licensing filters on AlternativeTo

    Jump

  • As a user the license doesn't matter for you. Even if you contribute back to a project, you will be able to use your changes in the project.

    The license only matters if you want to redistribute a changed version yourself or use parts of it in your own software.

  • The easiest-to-switch-to alternatives to Slack

    Jump

  • There's also Rocket Chat.

    Both are decent enough self hosted solutions. That's why they also both advertise, being used in military, security, and defense.

    The user experience in either of those isn't particularly great. Slack beats them with ease of use and like a million easy to use plugins.
