People are annoyed with this I was already annoyed back in windows xp when I originally switched to Linux.

Came here to say the same. Just subscribe and you can read it for free. Such a great news org.

They have also said before too that they’re not trying to make like snowden level privacy or something. To plan on doing illegal stuff coordinating with an email account you paid for by credit card is really foolish.

im glad people are fighting back. i hate these things.

Yeah I’m only just barely lurking on discord I have no problem leaving.

You know I stopped at “meta is kicking Australian children” and had a good laugh.

I have seen such half assed stuff in my career that I am terrified at trusting companies to do this stuff. This is even before the vibe coding. Now that I see how companies mine and others are using AI I am even more concerned than ever.

I just imagine the first places that put in in-door lightnig like “here now you can work later in the day” now they will be like “Oh look you can work 24/7 now it’s never dark anymore”.

Thankfully libreoffice

Absolutely there are plenty of good niche ones. I think zen is based on Firefox as well and lots of people like it.

start using firefox or firefox derivatives like librewolf. I know people will say “but they don’t have x feature” or “chrome is faster” well until they have the market share they won’t be able to put the development cycles in to fix that stuff. google owning chrome and everyone using chrome based browsers is lining up a huge issue for the future.
