Mostly towels and 42.

Well I prefer termusic, but ncmpcpp is good too. Never heard about mopidy tho.

mpd

Yeah but they could add it to the menu where you chose what apps to install, so I can decide not to have it(they could also add a warning if you don’t have any browser).

Yeah, of course, but it does happend from time to time(especially for hitchiker’s guide).

Don’t forget your towel!

I use calyxos btw. The only thing I can complain about is their default wallpaper. I do like how you can choosr which apps you want during the setup, but sadly chromium will always be installed :(

I’m currently reading 1984 and already seeing references to it a bit everywhere. Same happened when I read hitchiker’s guide to the galaxy.

There’s also XMPP(on which whatsapp is based on), it’s quite good with OMEMO.

New idea: TCP/IP is way too old and was never made to be secure(especially with ARP and DNS) so we need to kill them. We should definitely use Reticulum instead and use its LXMF to send messages and cryptographic identities to login to services.

Good luck getting people to change :)

I’m pretty sure they mostly do it for the profit.

Isn’t it that they just don’t care?

I usea a tiling wm(sway) so workspaces are part of my workflow. 1: browsers 2: terminals 3: terminals(part 2) 4: chats(XMPP, LXMF, email…) 5: IDE(helix) 6: games(supertuxkart) 7: keepassxc 8: Tor browser 9: misc 0: music

There is microg which can replace GMS. But we really need an alternative, not based on some company’s shit.

But it’s based on a browser that’s not made to be secure, but instead to have the most features and comply to all these standards. So removing them will make it a bit more secure, but it will never be good. The best browsers are the ones that aren’t made to support javascript and all these other standards. A private browser would be something like w3m or links. Ideally, it wouldn’t be HTML but gemini’s gemtext or just markdown.

failure to comply could result in fines of up to 10% of global revenue or courts blocking services

So most federated platforms should be fine, as they don’t have any revenue(usually) and blocking is hard because DNS is easy to bypass and there just are so many instances already.
