What non-FOSS software have you been unable to quit?

Jump

  • Proprietary firmware on Google Pixel, blobs in Dasharo Coreboot.

    On Android there are tons of video and image editors embedded in Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok etc. but nothing comparable.

    I find Desktop video editors confusing but I use Footage (GNOME) and "OpenVideoEdit" on Android.

    • We heard you like toggles so we put a toggle in your toggle.

  • Not in stock Android 14 / AOSP

    • Different digital world views

  • I dont get the bottom chart then

    • Linux users with uncommon or unusual setups: tell us about it

  • I want to use OpenWRT too but have no idea of the hardware, and we have cable here, and there is no supported router with cable. Do you know if I could just use some proprietary cable modem and attach that? Probably...

    • Is it just me, or is packaging for Flatpak a nightmare?

    Jump

  • Hm, I would contact upstream devs to support 2-4.1 then and find / create git repos for the missing libs, then include those as binaries in your manifest. This should avoid network access?

  • Why is reddit better than youtube? That graphic makes no sense, I can stream and download youtube, but reddit blocks anyone using a VPN and even forbids Lemmy links.

  • Is that webkit version outdated? In general you should try to support one of the supported versions.

    • Accidentally uninstalled an important package in Debian Sid with KDE, transparency no longer working

  • Just reinstall plasma-desktop or however the metapackage is called

  • You will also need to use snapper before every apt-get upgrade to avoid these issues

  • Damn I need to find out if that works on my machine.

    You can use Emacs for panels??

    • iPhone Camera App Replacement

    Jump

  • No there is nothing FOSS. Everything there is is proprietary. Even though Tesseract OCR is FOSS.

    You can use Google Camera and Google Lens on GrapheneOS I think. Google Lens may need play services.

    • Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?

    Jump

  • If you give me more details maybe I can say something else :D

    At least on Fedora, official tarball (firefox and firefox-bin), Fedora Firefox, Librewolf RPM, Librewolf Flatpak, Firefox Flatpak, torbrowser flatpak, Thunderbird flatpak, selfbuilt Firefox nightly, Chromium RPM, Chromium Flatpak and Brave RPM all work flawlessly when it comes to Wayland.

  • Yeah thats not usual behavior and your system is likely broken

  • I'm confident by then it'll be good and ready.

    Depends. Cinnamon Desktop is not a huge project, so yes it may be more stable because of how Mint releases stuff, but also it is not GNOME, KDE, COSMIC, or one of the wayland-only windowmanagers, so it may be less complete.

  • Why did you switch from hyprland to sway?

    I have no experience with both, but to my knowledge they are similar, but hyprland is aheads of wlroots
