What do they offer?

What do you mean? It’s not like the App Store is all that devs get from Apple. Apple has an app dev kit and loads of APIs into the phone that they maintain.

I also use Steam, but they were one of the OGs at taking a 30% cut from digital software sales. Apple always gets shit for this, but not Valve.

Okay, then tell them that. I’m just saying urging is stupid. Lawmakers can make laws.

They can pretty easily just pass a law banning it and Apple and Google will remove it from the German app store

I agree. People should raise their standards… the message is if you’re switching to Linux, shouldn’t be “just be glad to have a distribution that just works.” I think we’ll need a better sales pitch if that’s the case.

I had no issues with Zorin from a “it just works” perspective and I run an NVidia GPU. And, it also looks good. Like Mint, it’s also based on Ubuntu, but without the Windows XP era UI.

Also, the UI can either be in “has a start menu” or “has a Mac dock” mode.

I’m always shocked by all the recommendations to use Mint. It feels dated and ugly. Admittedly, I migrated from Mac, but how abused must you Windows users be to find Mint a suitable replacement? I personally wound up with Zorin OS and recommend it. The software store makes installing apps from multiple sources tolerable. It’s also got a nice UI and you can easily change it.

Been doing it for years now. It’s a very easy thing to do.

Damn, I’m so sick of orange, I’d take a nation builder like Bush again over this guy. Fuck, what am I saying.

Imagine how much open source software could be developed for $500 million/year. What the fuck has firefox done?

proton owns a service called SimpleLogin, you can use it to setup and manage email aliases. What is mailbox?

Use a custom domain with proton simple login. I set a wildcard regex and just allow <nameofservice>@customdomain.com. I can make up an email on the spot and when they inevitably add me to some annoying mailing list, I can just disable it in simple login.

“Shift left” by doing all the work yourself

Plan, design, code, test, debug, deploy, handle incidents, it’s all your job!

Pure evil

Curious what happens if you were someone who had opted in to ADP. If your data is fully encrypted, do you just get to keep using it that way? Does this only impact new users? Or, is Apple going to somehow capture users encryption keys and revert ADP?

“degoogle” - uses Google phone

I think I heard that Trump did it because he thinks it gets him around some Biden era rule that he can’t reverse that bans oil drilling in parts of the “Gulf of Mexico.” It’s really stupid. Exxon and Chevron have both “acknowledged” the name change.

Twice the normal amount
