Java was literally designed for washing machines, and look how it evolved.

GuixSD and Emacs as shell or EXWM for window manager achieve a similar result.

No, Microsoft pulled out of OS/2 for NT. The NT system is more of a philosophical descendent of DEC VMS.

BeOS and Haiku are mentioned in the article.

The universal tab windows is implemented in Haiku since years.

I use Authy, which stores the 2FA on their cloud safely.

Super easy to move between phones and to recover in case of disaster.

No one celebrates Washington???

I wish they would just use elementaryOS, instead of having yet another soft-fork of GNOME 3.

This is exactly what I do.

Brave for work, Firefox for private.

This is why I use GhostBSD instead of plain FreeBSD.

It’s like a Linux Mint experience but on FreeBSD.

> Microsoft won't have GitHub compete with the Microsoft Store and its newer efforts like winget. It would unermine their unifying vision that has been in the works for years for no benefit.

Perhaps they could integrate github and winget/snap (for the linux side).

Like, here your Github release page, just one extra click and you can automatically publish to winget (for Windows) and to snap (for Linux).

Lovely, thanks for the info :)

I tried to switch fully to Brave, but I had issues with Sync, messing up my 400+ bookmarks (thanks regular backups for the recovery), plus I really dislike uphold, as I had terrible experiences with them.

Any plan to at least allow using other crypto platforms like coinbase?

Exactly this.

I have my data on my NAS and I keep on Onedrive and GDrive only what I might need while around.

I've got a Synology NAS and I keep OneDrive for documents I might need in case of emergency.

Dropbox has no reason to exists for me. Firstly, they want to force me which filesystem to use on my Linux box, secondly, I already have plenty of GBs on Google Drive and MS OneDrive, so why would I need another service is beyond me. I mean, it's not like Dropbox is a safe encrypted alternative to GDrive or OneDrive anyway...

WhatsApp is basically a given in Europe, they want to become like WeChat in China but for outside the Chinese firewall.

I managed to get people on Telegram by showing Stickers and public groups you can join without sharing your number.

Signal is much harder to sell to non-tech users IMHO.

LBRY is a great Youtube alternative and it's missing from the list

The original founder of CentOS basically forked CentOS:

Not yet, they are obviously moving into merging WhatsApp with Messenger/Instagram Direct, but it looks like these recent actions against FB (US Congress questioning monopolistic practices, FB having promises it would not merge WhatsApp with FB Messenger at the time of acquisition, and various privacy investigations from EU countries) are making FB go very very slow on this.

Therefore, so far FB only collects contacts and improves its social network (in the technical sense) with WhatsApp.

I honestly moved my main email to Microsoft outlook and I have a ProtonMail for more private communications.

Gmail is not that great anyway, it’s too heavy to use their webmail and using IMAP is a major pain due to their stupid labels and not having real folders.

All Chrome addons work

Still, we don't how much telemetry is baked in the core.

Now I wish Mattermost would become a Matrix client!

I was still on the fence between staying on Github or moving to Gitlab.

All the bad experiences I'm reading in the comments helped me realize it's time to move to Gitlab.

Too bad my company still doesn't want to migrate (too many integrations with Github sadly), even considering all the downtimes in the past few months which have impacted us significantly.

As a Linux tech, I welcome this Apple move honestly.

Having a proper competitor for x86/x64 is a good thing.

The fact docker is slower on ARM (at the moment!) is mostly due to the lack of interests for optimizations.

With Apple starting to produce MacARM machines, and maybe more ARM servers in the wild, docker (and other platforms/frameworks) will start to get more performant on ARM as well.

You can cleanup Ubuntu from snaps: https://www.kevin-custer.com/blog/disabling-snaps-in-ubuntu-...

However, Canonical pushes snaps via deb packages (e.g. Chromium).

The best option is the use an Ubuntu-based distro, like PopOS or Linux Mint or Elementary OS.

GTK3 is becoming very GNOME3 specific, while Qt5 is still agnostic and easy to port on different platforms.

I have an LG 29", 2560x1080, flat monitor.

It's great for having two full windows side to side (e.g. Firefox and a Terminal), and I love it in my sim racing games, the extra field of view helps a lot with immersion.

Countdown for AUR for Android?

Let me play Devil's Advocate here.

Without these Ads plans, your device would probably cost $1000, as the Valve Index shows us.

My 2 cents.
