You'll probably want to report that to the devs. It is in alpha so there is a lot to add, fix, and tweak.

All you can hope is that some day they are forced to support 3rd party apps because of some anti monopoly lawsuit telling them they have too.

But good luck with that, Apple is very powerful and can probably just buy out the right lawyers and judges in that situation.

Or if they were forced to it would have an Apple twist on it like they get to approve the 3rd party app stores that are allowed or something.

Just get an Android phone you can put a custom ROM on and you'll have a very good experience.

A desktop app would be nice, but I wouldn't count on an IOS app, because I'm pretty sure this violates app store policies.

But it is an alpha so there's still the chance they could make a desktop app later.

The app supports plugins for other platforms with development docs coming that I don't think are out yet. So if they don't add it someone else certainly can

Why do people care so much what these CEOs think. Like outside of how they might change the laws to do with their industry they are in, why do people care so much about and hang on everything they say and do, doesn't innovation come from thinking differently and not just doing it because a successful CEO said so. Take games for example has a random Minecraft, flappy bird, or among us clone ever been as successful as the original. Honesty it just brothers me. Especially the Elon Musk worshippers.

As someone who was stuck on vista as a teen towards the end of its life is wasn't a bad OS, but it did deserve the hate early on for being a buggy OS that was poorly optimised for the average hardware of the time. But then I moved to 7 and fell in love with it( or at least I thought it was great).

Then I upgraded to 10 and hated it. I switched to Mac for a couple of years and started liking unix but missed the hardware of PCs and didn't like the 10.15+ direction of MacOS.

So I switched to Linux( which I had messed with on an old laptop on and off as a teen, but at the time liked all my proprietary crap I was used too) and have never looked back.

Fedora is a great distro! I'm a web developer and I run it on my work laptop. I do run Arch on my personal laptop though because I like to learn and tinker with Linux and Arch is my perfect balance of just works and DIY, though I have been eyeing void a bit recently

Honestly makes me a tiny bit sad I deleted my account with a few post rewards, but I see it for what it is. An incentive to keep users on a platform that treats them poorly. You wouldn't stay with an abusive partner just because they keet giving you nice stuff. They're still an abusive partner at the end of the day.

Edit: spelling( I'm on a phone)

Just install termux. Then pkg install vim

While I'm still in the process of closing down my Reddit account due to having a lot of useful saved posts. A big thing that has helped my switch is the my favorite Reddit client infinity got forked( or repurposed by the dev. I'm not sure which) into a Lemmy version called eternity, so the move in terms of app familiarity has been almost seamless. I do find quality posts and content in general is on a much smaller scale on here, but that has actually been a good thing for me as I now spend a lot less time on social media.

Took them long enough to switch to USB C, and even then they are hyping up USB 3 on the Pro like it didn't come out over 10 years ago. Sure barely anyone would use USB devices with their iphone, but still not very innovative.

I mean it's what serves the back end of all these services in the first place.

If Linux suddenly ceased to exist the internet and most devices we use and even rely on including android phones would become totally useless.

I don't think you can say that something so key to our technological infrastructure is incompatible with reality.

There is simply those of us who for whatever reason (commonly privacy and a level of control no other operating system outside maybe the BSDs offers) choose to use it for our personal desktop computing needs as well.

Didn't they get at least the kernel running on a Nintendo 64

What search engine do you use or if Searxng what engines do you pull from?

Good to know thank you

Honesty I've kinda given up trying to show normies that privacy is important. And have started to focus on making my own digital life as private as I can. Some will wake up and come ask you, and then you can share what you know with them and help them switch to privacy respecting tech and practises.

For example I recently converted a friend to Linux and they even bought a System76 laptop and has been very happy with it( I'm an old Thinkpad lover).

Or they will simply suffer the eventually inevitable consequences due to how little people care, and how much big companies and governments are willing to take advantage of that.

It's not that I don't think it's a worthy fight and won't continue to at least get called crazy for mentioning that it matters. But don't be surprised how little most people care.

Kitty, though I have been looking into st as I recently switched to dwm.

I'm planing on self hosting a Searx instance. But right now I'm very happy with DuckDuckGo. I find I get less biased results and a lot of the time I prefer it's results to google. And for the odd time I want an image and DDG isn't giving me what I want I use bing, which is probably the best search engine for images from my experience.

It's always fun when my Nextcloud server crashes and I lose calendar sync

I mean if you're that concerned get a thinkpad X200, libre boot it, and run qubes OS
