Standard enshittification: They've been pushing features nobody wants and making user unfriendly decisions. I'm sure other people will provide specific examples, but that's pretty much it.

Another thing is that, due to their market position, they won't let people use alternatives. If there's a big enough fandom wiki, google pushes it to the top above any independent fan supported wiki.

https://getindie.wiki/ Is an extension that redirects fandom wikis to other wikis.

That people were magically able to understand, sympathise and accept other people's lives and lived experiences. A world where everyone was accepted as who they are, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

I've been using Protonmail and it does the job (although not for free). To use it with Thunderbird I need to use a "bridge" background app to decrypt it though.

I use Thunderbird. I'm sure there might be other ones that are better, but it does the job.

This is a bit of a long reach, but I can see it switching to ATProto, like Bluesky. The fact that identity, hosting and moderation are all done by the same person in ActivityPub is a big cause of many issues and drama on Mastodon. I think ATProto would fix it, and give access to everyone on Bluesky as well.

Hasn't Debian relaxed its stance and now allows you to fairly easily use nonfree software?

Looking at the video they posted, surely the act of navigating and selecting a location via the file save portal should implicitly give permission?

Iirc, that's something Flatpak allows.

I actually don't know! It was a meme a while ago, but they might have fixed it by now.

Apple devices make sense - how else are you going to deal with the overheating problems?

Vote.

Google cutting off customization and generally being annoying and creepy. I know I can install some other OS on it, but at the same time I don't want to deal with Google's "play protect" thing.

In the "about" page linked at the bottom of the instance there is a section for "Moderated Servers" which may have a list of blocked and limited servers, along with reasoning.

People playing Rust code while they sleep so they can learn it through osmosis.

Just as a heads up: .art also blocks a lot of the pro-trans and/or furry instances as well.

I think Windows has a very poor track record for ui consistency as well. It feels like every Windows app wants to roll its own UI; Firefox, Discord, Steam etc. I know Discord and Steam also have those issues on Linux as well, but it feels like every Windows app wants to roll out it's own window decorarions and theme.

Honestly, I'm pleased at how consistent most gtk based apps look.

If my /bin contains exe files, something has gone very wrong somewhere...

Also, all these infographics are a sad casualty of the /usr/bin merge.

There's a package called molly-guard which will check to see if you are connected via ssh when you try to shut it down. If you are, it will ask you for the hostname of the system to make sure you're shutting down the right one.

Very usefull program to just throw onto servers.
