I've been using GrapheneOS on Pixel 7 for about 5 months now, and haven't seen any issues. With this, bootloader is also locked, so no issues there.

Can you please share some info about why office 365 is in a dangerous spot in Germany? Very based country btw, this might be the reason why they donated 1M to GNOME project, considering it public interest project.

Yes.. I totally agree. I also think there will always be some sacred, little places, just like an oasis in a desert. They will be inaccessible, expensive, or maybe one day illegal, but they will exist, and it is my hope on this issue.

TLDR is, now looking back at the whole image, Louis thinks he hasn't been able to do enough impact on industry, and it could have been better place without him.

I personally do not agree. I've always seen him as the face of Right To Repair movement. He has done a significant work on this field, and without Louis and passionate people like him, the industry would most certainly be worst than ever.

But unfortunately, this is the most one person can do. Average person simply doesn't care, and those who do, they are largely outnumbered. These companies are bigger than most countries, and have huge impact on world economy. Therefore, governments can't do (often, willingly, don't even try) much about their anti-consumer behaviors.

It is quite heartbreaking to see these kind of "self-questioning"s from the "right to repair guy" himself, but I simply can't blame him! He has been doing this advocacy for 15 years now, and unfortunately, it has only gotten worst. I doubt if the field will change to the better. Advancements will happen, but in its current form - consumers are just consumers. We have lost our particularity, and these corporations are fighting for ~~us~~ our attention span.

What do you think? Is there a light at the end, or are we living in it's best times?

Linux Desktop Market share keeps increasing, 3.19% now. +0.07% for August in c/[email protected]

Of course this won't happen. The day they release it, world will collapse because of the newly discovered vulnerabilities and stuff. Security over obscurity is major player in securities of closed source programs.

wow. I'll look into this, but last time I tried, that VM discovery thing made it unavailable to setup on linux. The remote desktop app shows available VMs after you authenticate with MS account. This most likely is done deliberately to prevent us from using linux.

its even more outdated in c/[email protected]

e2e encryption makes it difficult to provide fully cross-platform messaging experience, this is probably why they are not looking at it

At the place I work at, we all are given Azure Virtual Desktops, which we use for everything. I'm working remotely from another country, so there is damned input lag too. Copy/paste, any data transfer is disabled too.

The worst part is we need to use "Remote Desktop" app to connect to our VMs, and it is available for EVERY platform except linux. Like they got browser client, windows, mac os, android, iOS. BUT NOT FOR LINUX. So I use VirtualBox to open windows machine, and use that to connect to VM.

This is sad :(

This is such a bummer. Recently one of my friends started considering iPhone just because of this blue/green issue. I hate how big corps are trying their best to f*ck their users

exactly. We are 6 guys, me and one other friend tried a lot, but just couldn't :/

I have nothing else to ask in this community..... how did I get here? 🤔 in c/[email protected]

Yep I know the GrapheneOS. My plan is to use my phone for a bit (it is not that cheap in Azerbaijan 😄 ) and then switch to graphene.

Well, good luck to both of us!

Debloat / Setup script for windows 11 (christitus.com)

Sorry if this is against community guidelines, but I couldn't find any rule that prohibits this. If there is any, please tell me, I'm open to remove the post.

Just randomly came across this one and it looked so good that I formatted my laptop (which runs windows, unfortunately for battery reasons) and did the set-up with this script. It is FOSS and very easy to use.

It can remove edge, cortana and other microsoft junk software, while being able to quickly install stuff, set-up profiles, etc.
