I am ALL for exhibitionism in non offensive settings, but Microslop up my ass? No spank you. 😝

Whatever its shortcomings, it surely must be better than Microslop’s Coshampoo. Who the heck wants an attendant watching you shower?!

I think (pray) that the devs are not Japanese. /j

Just give them Bing or something.

¿¡Porque Maria?!

I agree. People that lack the technical expertise or rooting compatible devices shouldn’t be forced to even consider this. Once you have paid for a device, you should be allowed to do with it whatever the hell you want, without Google or other big tech shoving unsolicited policies down your throat.

You’re right. At the very least, users shouldn’t be forced to make this choice. It’s absurd how little authority we have over devices we have paid for with our hard earned money. :(

Are there people who are angry out of principle/ideologically but who don’t do sideloading etc? Because, I’d like to think that if you are angry enough at this, then you have the incentive and the will to root you phone (making it an unsupported device and making it NOT locked for sideloading) and go on with your life. I wish Google died like… Yesterday. Don’t get me wrong. Am I missing something?

I swear on EVERYTHING that I was imagining Holt when I wrote it :D 🩵🩵🩵

Same experience with Tutanota. :)

I accidentally purchased their most expensive plan, which I didn’t need, and it took one mail and a few minutes for them to downgrade my plan and refund the difference. :D

I agree though! The spring semester has had some awful “bumps”. Amazingly though, I only experienced it on the app. Didn’t seem to affect my Mullvad OpenWRT router. Which is even weirder, since it’s bound to a single node all the time. 🤔

I’d use ivpn for sure if I wasn’t with Mullvad! 😊

That’s sic too :D

He he, yeah, twas a nice surprise :D

Yeah. Other than being vocal about the right to privacy in my everyday life, maybe I should drop a job application at Mullvad 😆

Ah, got it. Thanks. :)

Why go past Arch? What’s the use case/flavor?

Holy crap. Now that’s the difference between Reddit and Lemmy. Thanks for the sincere response! :D

Does Lemmy have a r/peterexplainsthejoke?

I’m really not deep enough into that culture to understand what you mean. Either that, or it’s that I’m a non native speaker? 😅 Please explain. 🙏 Is it not just a nerdy way of saying “making a Linux desktop environment look fancy”?

Nah, tried it, but alas… I just went home and did it with LibreOffice on my Linux rig.
