I guess something like what you’re talking about or some kind of Virtual Machine to run these difficult apps would be perfect.

Or the ability to dual boot.

Basically, I would want to do everything I can on a PC, on a smartphone 😅

Is it also on iOS? I couldn’t find it and I’m stuck on iPhone because of work.

I’m sending this article to my girlfriend to convince her to ditch her Gmail account.

Not sure it’s gonna work 😅

On Lemmy, I’m almost sure only a few use Gmail because everyone is kind of tech savvy.

Ditching YouTube is more complicated, but ditching Gmail is easy.

I’m using peertube quite a lot to follow the Linux Experiment on Tilvids and it works really well.

It’s true that finding other creators to follow looks difficult and the search result aren’t giving you much.

It’s a shame as it makes me keep relying on YouTube for everything gaming (PlayStation) related when I would want to use it less.

Maybe it’s gonna become easier when the upcoming mobile app is launched.

While I’m not blaming you, what you’re saying is really the problem in our society.

I love what fairphone and some other companies are doing.

Still some of their earphones got a 1/10 reparability on ifixit, so I’d really check how reparaible these ones are.

Yeah but I’d still need an Apple program and a Windows VM, so it wouldn’t change a thing 😅

OrganicMaps works really well even with Apple Carplay. I’m now a 100% relying on it.

Yeah thanks I’ve read about it but the terminal part is probably above my really modest Linux knowledge for now.

An alternative to iTunes so that I don’t need a Windows VM to backup my company iPhone. But I know it’s never gonna happen because Apple is the devil.

Surface Go 1 running Fedora for me. It runs perfectly even if booting from a USB to install Linux can be tricky and the Bluetooth is slow to puck up my mouse on startup.

It’s linked by usb-c to a monitor for when I’m home.

As long as it brings some focus on backward compatibility at Sony too, I’m all for it. But I don’t have too much hope sadly.

By the way, Sarah Bond looks great and I feel weak not hating her even if she works for Microsoft.

I always admire the people taking a lot of their free time to do something beneficial for the community.

Be it as a maintainer, a small basketball coach. a village politician.

I’ve always thought about one day giving back everything I’ve received like that, but I haven’t done yet. Right now I have excuses with a difficult parental situation, but there has been many moments where I could and I just haven’t.

So congratulations and thanks to the ones doing it 👍

If only my employer, the state of Geneva, Switzerland, did the same.

I hate the fact we’re giving so much taxpayer’s money to the GAFAMs.

I use Word at work and OnlyOffice and it works perfectly fine for my needs.

I don’t see any reason to go back to any proprietary software at home 😇

Isn’it that Google needs Firefox to stay alive as a browser? So the fact that Google is the default search engine as default is only a way to subsidize Firefox..

I’m just speculating as I don’t have much knowledge.

From what I remember, it wasn’t difficult to set everything up.

What scared me was having to use the terminal a lot so I gave up really quickly.

Maybe Fedora was more complicated back in the days or maybe I just hadn’t noticed you could do everything with a GUI.

I think the first distribution I tried was Fedora on my PlayStation 3 around 2007. From what I remember, you had to use terminal a lot so I couldn’t do anything with it.

Then a few months later I tried Ubuntu on an old Dell computer from my father’s office.

Dual booted windows and Ubuntu for years until fully switching to Linux around 2021.

Now I’m only using Fedora with a few virtual machines for some specific needs.

It’s easy not to use Facebook, Snapchat or Instagram.

Even not using Google is easy as you can just use any other search engine like Ecosia.

Sadly, not using WhatsApp would be a real organizational problem for me with people I ain’t close enough to force them to use Threema.

So I’m forced to have both apps installed. Threema for 95% of the time and 5% with WhatsApp.

I can only agree with you, it is a choice we’re making.

Still I don’t feel like I want to tell people other than my family or friends to give up on me or switch to threema.

I’m still thinking about it, but the downsides are bigger than the upsides for now.
