I don't get surprise that Gnome's people are the one who are promoting this crap:

https://mastodon.social/@alatiera/114398757700546625

"Don't package my software"
"Don't theme my app"
"Don't do this"

The excuse is always the same "because normies want the shit works" but in my opinion this is a red flag because they aim to a model similar than Google's and Apple where they centralized everything in a single repository and have control on everything. A good example is the fucking Mozilla, they prefer flatpak because they can deliver Firefox with their telemetry crap and many distros maintainers just disable by default.

I believe that if you want GNU/Linux to become like Windows or MacOS there is not point to have a "cheaper copy" then I prefer to use the proprietary crap directly. Don't let those people steal your freedom of choose.

@sl1200 Pipepipe, a Newpipe fork, it's working.

Newpipe is not working in my phone. Maybe YouTube has made changes again. Am I the only one?

@lxo Yo le llamo "izquierdas" al ala mas progresista pero a nivel económico y probablemente social, allá los dos partidos políticos son de "derechas". Es curioso que use el tema " izquierda" y "derechas" porque creo que la naturaleza humana es mucho mas complejo que eso.

@ekaitz_zarraga También me parece que el termino "derechas" e "izquierdas" es una forma absurda de agrupar pensamientos políticos que son muy variables, por ejemplo puedes ser neoliberal a nivel económico (Que en teoría encaja mas con la derecha) y progresista a nivel a nivel social (Que en teoría encaja con la izquierda) a mi los paquetes políticos me parecen una excusa para dividir y polarizar a la gente.

Nada mas mira como escriben los gringos en las RRSS, andan mas preocupados por escribir bien en lugar de expresarse cómodamente porque allá parece que cualquier cosa se puede volver en tu contra.

@lxo Tienes razón.

@ekaitz_zarraga Debes tener en cuenta que las izquierdas son diferentes en los diferentes paises. Yo personalmente terminé cogiéndole fastidio a la izquierda en USA y entiendo porque la gente allá votó Trump. No digo que lo comparta pero lo entiendo perfectamente.

Nada mas ver los múltiples intentos de cancelación que le han hecho a RMS para mi es suficiente motivo para entender porqué mucha gente piensa como piensa.

Yo soy de izquierdas en mi país pero ya te digo que nosotros luchamos por cosas muy distintas. Tenemos problemas mas graves como llevar un plato de comida a nuestras mesas.

Over in Linux Land, systemd has now metastasized to NSS user and group lookups.

@mangeurdenuage What about the cream pie?

@moribundo Al menos en España lo ha intentado la comunidad de Extremadura y otras comunidades autónomas, por lo que entiendo usar software libre es complicado en la admon pública porque siempre esta Microshit presionando, pero con mierdas como recall los países deberían considerarlo incluso un problema incluso de seguridad nacional.

@lxo @drahardja I heard from someone who said "Imagine everything is automated and you achieved to replace all human labour, who is going to buy your products if nobody is able to work and get money?"

#Zuckerberg on #JoeRogan’s show (no link because #FuckZuck, find the clip yourself):

“Probably in 2025, Meta, as well as other companies, will have an AI that can effectively be a mid-level engineer that you have at your company that can write code. In the beginning that will be very expensive to run, then at some point a lot of the code we have in our apps will be built by AI engineers instead of people engineers. In my opinion that will augment the people working on it. My view is that in the future people will be so much more creative and freed up to do crazy things.”

I state again: to most capitalists pouring money into #AI, THE CORE VALUE PROPOSITION FOR AI IS DISPLACEMENT OF HUMAN LABOR. What capitalists want are slaves that replace workers.

Robots have replaced a lot of *repetitive* human work, and capitalists have hoarded all the profits from their increased productivity. Now they want AI to replace *intelligent* human work, and capitalists want to hoard those profits too.

@RobertoArchimboldi @Suiseiseki Linux, the kernel, seems to have some binary blobs which does not have the source code available.

There are other firmwares that are proprietary too, like most of the WiFi cards, but I have to admit that they are loaded externally if I'm not wrong (I am not an expert in the topic).

There is linux-libre which removes all of that proprietary crap but it has less compatibility, especially with new hardware.

@son_link @muylinux No lo harán porque the linux foundation se mueve con base en los intereses de las empresas que les da dinero, que en su mayoría son las mismas big techs.

Además the linux foundation usa software propietario para sacar sus reportes anuales, así que es un motivo mas para no esperar nada de esa gente.

@Suiseiseki When I was a child I remember we used to receive such a big book every year from the government. We used to call it "Directory" in my country and that book was similar (if not the same) to the approach you purpose. In that time was OK because we didn't use to have mobile phones. It was more difficult to locate people sometimes but it was more or less OK.

Now I have the feeling that sharing your phone number in a public site is like making things easier to spammers, I made the mistake of sharing my contact info in my CV and now I am receiving spam and scam calls all the time. This is making me consider to let my current number like a honeypot for scam and spam calls and get a new number just to give for people I trust.

Of course sharing information in a private company where the main business is selling your data is a lot of worse.

@engravecavedave Well, I guess everything depends on the person too. In my case I am not too social so for me it is easier to remove social media. I removed my twitter account in 2020 and I was not regret. I use WhatsApp because sadly is like the standard here but I am sure I will delete that crap too. I think everything is a process, I am getting close to get rid of both big techs.

@Oleksii @murena @LineageOS I use GrapheneOS at the moment with limited Google services installed. I want to ditch WhatsApp with XMPP but as I know there is not decent iOS client.

I think Facebook is mostly crap but I had to admit it was useful to contact people who I have long time without speaking to them, especially international friends so I used to have my account just for those cases. After more than 3 years without using Facebook I finally decides to delete my account today. I never have Instagram so I am close to be "deMetafied" in my life.

Being degoogled is more difficult at the moment but I am working hard on it. Ironically whatsapp(Meta) in android relies on a Google account to do backups. So basically my main problem now is getting rid of WhatsApp.
