There sadly are none, now, outside of the “Big Three” who all did the same.

I’d suggest we start actively targeting smaller businesses for our suport, to prevent a monopol… Or triopoly in this case, from allowing everyone to be screwed by collusion and manipulation of markets and pricing.

Not a lot you can do with RAM, or SSDs, or GPUs now, but if we get competitors crop up we should be active in our suport of them and avoiding the ones who want to charge you $600 for an SD card now.

Plus a lot of this is part of the Bezos plan to force everyone into cloud computiong so all your data belongs to corporations and they can do whatever their constantly changing EULAs allow while overriding legal protecations like how a Health Exchange bypasses HIPPA laws and a corporate owned messenger is excluded from wiretapping laws if they sell their data to the agencies.

Meanwhile people here jailed for decades for moving a box of pamphlets after a protest…

And if one was based on seven companies selling debt to each other creating a bubble that will pop and destroy the economy?

I would take the one that paid less, but would not be an active plague on the planet and its people.

Remember they are traitors to actual customers when the bubble burtsts.

They should fail, totally, and vanish from the world.

File under “Duh”

This is like Epic suing Google, I feel quite conflicted about rooting for companies I hate, but they’re going after an all consuming plague…

Waylad is technically a better idea, the progression of X11, more secure and should be faster and smoother when it’s ready…

But I run into so many incompatabilities still and often janky support via xWayland that I really don’t think Wayland is ready to be the default just yet.

It will be, I’m sure, but for now I spend more time fighting it than I do using it. A bit of snazz in KDE and Waydroid seem to be the only things that actually need it, for me, and so many legacy things just nope right out and crash without going back to x by force.

I will admit things “just work” a lot better with systemd than it did fighting with configs under various init systems, but it’s far too bloated and centralized.

Like how so many use flatpaks now, which has some great advantages like simple sandboxing and great fine control of permisions in a simple manner, but is has Flathub becoming an “app store” for Linux with all the issues that has elsewhere.

The more sstuff is consolidated, the more risk of one person fucking it all up.

They’re putting the finishing touches on, been degrading for decades, ever since the focus of total control and surveillence shifted to them as a testbed.

Devuan has the easy repos like Debian, it’s a pretty straight forward fork, as is AntiX.

Void is great, but a bit more complicated, not LFS insane complicated but like Arch/Gentoo “Git good noob” complicated.

Really, any is good, and I’m looking at moving from Debian to AntiX.

Good choice, though…

Systemd is a mess, and the main guy is one of those obnoxious tech bro types who doesn’t listen to anyone and slaps crap in for no reason aside from his own ego. Everyone should be moving away from it, for many reasons.

Most people, LGBT or otherwise, don’t really pay attention to who owns the data and how it is processed. It’s all in the ToS, and they just click agree. The “they” doesn’t need to be the on using it to be dangerous. In fact, I’d say it is more dangerous to have someone who is not malicious, but is uninformed, to be your exposure to the corporate backend that is actively monitoring your group.

Because they are after all the LGBT, nobody is safe, and the companies running these systems are building the profiles that will be used when they move on to the next step of christian nationalist agression.

I think it’s more likely Firefox forks will than Chromium forks, we already have some mitigation on Waterfox and Librewolf, despite Mozilla being a complete joke now they do still have some good projects fixing everythng they screw up.
