@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social @NGIZero woah really nice seeing plasma mobile getting so many polishes

@ulfi @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I've been using GNOME, and I'm really impressed with KDE 6.4. It feels very polished. And the colour management is incredible. I wish there was a detailed discussion/explanation somewhere, just on that specific topic. I want to know why I'm liking the colour management so much now. 😉

Not to be that guy, but the fairphone 5 runs the de-googlified /e/ @e_mydata just fine. (Writing from one now).
Thanks to the very open way #FairPhone handles its OEM codes installing it without rooting it was a breeze.

[–] aerion@nerdculture.de 1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

@ChemicalTribe
Google does this to a lot of developers, arbitrary decisions, with often little to no recourse.

It's the same story on YouTube, most recently with @geerlingguy and his video on installing LibreElec, a totally legal endeavour that does NOT depend on or promote piracy.

He got it restored in the end, but I doubt he'd have managed that if his channel hadn't been the size it is.

I wish I could entirely liberate myself from Google, but when it came to choosing between a Pixel phone + GrapheneOS or the hyper ethical and sustainable Fairphone 5, I had no choice but to pick the latter. So, I'm still tied to a 🤬 Google account.

I hope GrapheneOS will consider supporting the Fairphone range of phones at some point, as they offer even longer support than Google does for their Pixels, making it an ideal and stable target platform.

I really shouldn't be astonished, but I am 😵.

This is, of course, utter abuse of user data, but what's even worse is that Google allows this.

#Conversations was taken off Google Play, and forced to remove its contacts linking feature for #privacy reasons, despite the fact that no contact data was ever uploaded to any servers, yet #Citymapper is allowed to share highly sensitive precise location data with third parties for the sake of #profit?!

🤬 Goodbye Citymapper!!

Thankfully we're not exactly short of #opensource alternatives: I love how #Öffi displays the timetables, but we also have #Transportr and KDE's #KTrip (which not only works on Android but also on #mobilelinux).

KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.

Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been unable to ship the new wallpaper, "Reef", with this version of Plasma. However, a new wallpaper will be coming soon in the next 6.2 version of Plasma.

If you can't wait, you can download "Reef" from here:

During the Clinton era Microsoft was a hair's breadth away from being broken apart for all its anti-competitive monopolistic shenanigans -- including the browser war thing that you mention.

But then Bush Junior got into power (I resist using the words "was elected") and he swept all that away.

I remember decades ago when a US court convicted Microsoft to seperate their browser from windows. The court wrote the verdict that Microsoft ilegally tried to prevent competion . Since Microsoft lost it shouldn't be difficult to file the next suit .
