I see lots of confusion here. Android IS NOT Free/Open Source software, at least not the one you get with your phone. It's true that the bare bones OS is FOSS, but the same is true with iOS and Darwin. But they have a lot of proprietary crap on top of them.

The reason for offering a longer or shorter period of OS updates is a business decision, not a technical matter. There's at least one android phone (fairphone that I know of, not an ad or anything) with 7 years of updates, which is longer than the iPhone.

These arguments of costs of development and having to support hardware fall apart when you take into account that some smaller vendors are offering longer support than bigger ones like Samsung or hwawei, and when you look at which hardware they mount, it's basically the same. Same processors, very little variety in cameras and screens...

I can't watch the video now. Was it or not? Honest question, not op btw

keyboard and mouse cables converted to fiber optic

Well now that doesn't make any sense

Edit: format

This wanker's not a lemmy.world user, but not just that, they made the account just now, maybe for the sole purpose of shitting on an instance

For the user? Not at all. For the companies that want their spying/tracking apps to run and take your precious data 24/7? Yes, this way dozens of apps can track you even if you open a hundred more afterwards and forget about them, they can live forever deep down those 24gb

I see, typical trap from this fuckers. You can use this as an opportunity to learn to flash firmwares to things and to not trust proprietary software, specially nothing in the cloud for your home automation

This Shelly thing appears to be the typical cloud SaaS platform. What does exactly make it open?

Server owners and admins, and communities creators and mods can set the tone of the communities they manage, of course.

If you think a car community is too ford-leaning you can look for or create another one, if it's the whole instance then subscribe to another instance cars community (I'm subscribed to the same communities from several instances, I guess it has to be pretty common), or even make an account in that other instance just in case the Chevy folk start hanging out with nazis, as they always end up doing, and the rest defederate from them.

Edit: oh! And you can block all the posts with a specific site as a source, so you can take away everything from fordnews.com and not see it anymore

A CEO that brings lots of money and consistently gets to lower the share of your flagship browser seems like a good candidate to destroyed from within. How can Mozilla stay independent when most of their money comes from these 'royalties' and most of it is from Google? We're talking hundreds of millions agains 7 mil in donations that barely pay for the CEO. How are they gonna push back against this webDRM shit google is trying to pull (or any other thing)?

I feel the same as you, I've been using Mozilla/Firefox since forever, because I felt they were doing things I'm aligned with. But I don't know anymore. I don't know if they are doing it or they have started to become just muppet opposition.

Enshittification spreads fast, once it takes roots its to late. But it sure seems like, lately, it's an all out attack on any freedom left on the internet

This 'related organization' is Mozilla Corp, for-profit owned by the Mozilla Foundation that has Baker as its CEO as well.

I'm a lifelong Mozilla user, but these things stink a bit. I find even more concerning the dependency from google

The parties have talks before the vote, and they make clear their intention of supporting or not this or that candidature so there's usually no surprises the actual voting day. I think a rejected candidate has another opportunity, not sure. When there's no more (reasonable) candidates left the elections are called for by the assembly itself and/or the king (even tho arguably in an honorary role, everything goes through the monarch).

Feijóo, even with more seats, has it harder. Only vox would touch them with a ten foot pole. Sánchez has it hard too, needing to assemble ALL the other groups, but this is more likely than the right getting the support of someone left from PP or the regionalists.

It's gonna be a few months of this pacts, what-aboutism, and other politics bullshit...

First the king will ask the leader of the party with the most seats (Feijóo, PP, conservative right) to try and form a government, they can refuse if they see it unlikely or impossible. Then they vote, more ayes and there's a president. More nays, back to step 1 with the leader of the second party (Sánchez, PSOE, centre-leftcentre-right). If no one can achieve a coalition big enough there will be elections again

Nah, the article got it wrong. It's just that the Spanish regular right is a wee bit farther than most, with these pacts they showed the fascist discourse is still perfectly fine with them and many voters came back

Cooking meth with your British girlfriend lol

I am European and I don't cross them, or any other character (except 't' and 'f')

We should not make heroes. People are falible, don't idolize them. You can of course still admire their work.

This is harder with artists though. They put more of themselves in their work and once you know an artist was an absolute cunt you can start seeing things in their art that you didn't before or experiencing it differently and don't like it anymore.

But if you still enjoy their work I think that's fine too. Especially if they are dead and can't profit from it, if they would profit from it I, personally, just pirate it and that keeps my conscience clean.
