Wtf are you guys talking about, like desktop apps are the end all be all of computing. 98 percent of codebases contain open source. There’s like 5000 open source libraries in your iphone. For most things there just are no proprietary alternatives. It is the state of the art, ubiquitous in everything from medical equipment to satellites and TVs. The digital economy runs open source, with an estimated worth of 8.8 trillion dollars.

Well said, Greta 💪

It’s hard to go back after Sway/I3 with pywal coloration, when everything is so sluggish in comparison. It’s amazing to see gnome and KDE adding like a second to launch/quit of common applications. Tried hyprland, but animations seemed choppy (beefy AMD desktop), has that changed?

I think pocket and quite the slew of unrelated features disagrees with you. Seems like most browsers are happy to be the everything app.

No Herr officer, I was just trying to download my favorite distros, and I don’t know where all that Metallica/Disney/Nintendo came from.

Why can’t browsers treat torrents as just another protocol for downloads, so that if you haven’t got a default set for torrent out magnet mimetypes, it just downloads it in the included download manager?

Sounds untrue. Source?

Why am I crying?

I’m having the same issue, and like others have said, using frontends Is a nice solution. However, they can be hard up remember. I searched for an extension to automate it, and found this. Seems awesome. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/

Never stayed much past lunch, myself. Working in finance

Fuck that red scare McCarthyism shit, and pretending like your imperialist overlords are not the main culprits of desinformation and propaganda in the world today.

How so?

All we have seen is decline. Imagine what it must have been like for our parents: continues progress. People in BRICS countries have that today.

No? I’m having a hard time separating actual disinformation and legitimate criticism being McCharty’ed. Eurovision is indeed legitimizing the apartheid state currently committing genocide, while my state is deeming protests Russian disinformation.

All my friends fucking love slanted spiral channels with periodic contraction-expansion arrays.

The ease of access and availability of unprocessed foods, or food products without high amounts of corn syrup, sugars and other additives, is much higher in most of the world outside of the US. I can never stay in the US for more than a couple of weeks without gaining weight. Then again, it doesn’t help that US food is fantastically tasty, either ♥️

Good art is truly timeless

Are there anyone that takes HRW seriously, especially when decrying non western states? This article in Monthly Review describing HRWs support for the right wing coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia, also brings up its less than flattering history of supporting Western human rights violations.

Human Rights Watch’s deep ties to U.S. corporate and state sectors should disqualify the institution from any public pretense of independence.
