#Windows 10 is now End of Life, which in itself is normal, but also, this is a very specific event, because, first Windows 10 is still huge, and second, the options are very, very limited, and all bad.

let's talk about it:

i maintain that the FSF are controlled opposition

> The initial work is funded by a donation from FSF board member John Gilmore

> I later discovered that the LineageOS distribution links in significant proprietary binary modules copied from the firmware of particular phones.

They're gonna find a phone to replace all the proprietary parts with foss replacements

everything here hints to them not even knowing about the "lineageOS mainline" efforts

but its wild to me that they say firmware but dont seem to understand what the fuck firmware is

La trappola del consumismo: quando comprare ci ha resi solo “schiavi felici”

📺 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKwnP3wiY1Y

Non cadere nel meccanismo che alimenta il bisogno continuo di consumo ci ha spinto ad abbandonare tutti i social commerciali e i servizi Google. Certo, ricostruire tutto da zero ha avuto un costo e non è una strada per tutti ma per noi è un prezzo giusto per riconquistare un pezzo della nostra libertà.

Musicians are starting to organize boycott of Spotify, mainly about how it doesn't pay most musicians. But they don't seem to recognize the injustice Spotify does to every listener: such as making them identify themselves (by payment systems) and imposing DRM. I won't submit to those injustices, so I have never used Spotify and never will. Out,

Can The FSF Really Make The Librephone? #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/mWMpfN9C-lI

I dream of a flip phone that can run postmarketOS and make calls over Wi-Fi and Jabber.

Why? Because flip phones aren't expected to be a place where you run "apps." If you say "I have a flip phone," your bank won't hassle you to get the app anymore.

postmarketOS does have some support for feature phones. It can run on the devices that come with KaiOS.

IRC is working just fine. As always.

Now is another great moment to ponder if making your business rely on Amazon is a great idea.
