Unfortunately the tech-illiterate heads that control DOST would reject such proposal.

Philippines should be next. Unfortunately the lack of net neutrality allows our telcos to literally provide unlimited text-only Facebook access for free, like wtf…

Most storage space viewers get confused by Flatpak’s heavily deduplicated and compressed files, leading to them reporting way larger space than what’s actually occupied on the hard drive.

This is essential for the year of the Linux desktop to come.

In my setup I was partially upgraded to GNOME 45 before I can upgrade to Fedora 39 thanks to Flatpak

Linux equivalent: Imagine if AppImageD pops up asking for your opinion and feedback on AppImages whenever you visit Flathub or Snapcraft.

Brodie Robertson is an excellent source of information ☹️

Google is paying Mozilla to keep their search engine the default in Firefox. Period. There is no Google spyware (or any spyware in general) in Firefox. Just because Google is the default search engine in Firefox doesn’t mean Firefox is Google-controlled spyware.

Also Librewolf’s privacy is in some ways selfish on their part. It strips out Firefox’s troubleshooting data collection so Mozilla loses a good chunk of clues on how well the browser works. Lack of any data would lead to lower browser quality, ends up as a worse Firefox release, and Librewolf gets to be affected directly as a downstream of Firefox. By removing troubleshooting or usage data (which practically doesn’t affect privacy in any way), Librewolf is just hurting itself in the long run. If they’re really aggressive against directly contributing data back to Mozilla, then they should just run their own collection server and contribute the final data back to Mozilla.

“Canada announces technology that allows anybody, anywhere in the world to undergo mandatory medically assisted ‘suicide’ without consenting or being informed beforehand said operation”

Canada is several months away from medically assisted “suicide” for people who don’t support currently elected politicians

Is OONI probe really reliable? It’s saying that nothing’s blocked in my country even if we’re literally under authoritarian rule.

I usually consider the ability to change anything about Linux as quite a big selling point so these distros seem kinda counterproductive to me.

Immutable distros are actually easier to customize and tinker with than traditional distros, while being safer. Example: Universal Blue

The far bigger problem is that most reviews are just devoid of useful information. “Thing arrived and box looked pretty” is what most of them boil down to. If they are fake or not doesn’t make a difference.

But-But how are we supposed to know how handsome/beautiful the delivery rider who delivered the parcel is???

Five days? Even a lot of smaller, unregulated businesses here in the Phillipines offer way more than that.

Are you using Linux for ordinary daily tasks like browsing, gaming, and coding? Then SystemD is perfect for such systems. No need to use distros that sell the lack of SystemD as their main selling point—it’s more trouble than it’s worth. Avoid SystemD haters like the plague.

Do you use Linux for enterprise servers? Then SystemD is just one of the options for you, go try all of them out to see what’s best for such workflow.

Newbies hating on Flatpak, Wayland, PipeWire, SystemD, and other new stuff that actually works unlike their predecessors because they were told by some racist boomer Linux YouTuber to hate those

Me omw to drop complaints without context

What’s your laptop model? Brand? The distro you used?

If your laptop still wouldn’t work on Fedora Silverblue, idk already.

Imagine being deaf and having to use subtitles

Or a distrobox
