• Maryland will hand out 133,000 Chromebooks to the public

  > a vendor locked in Chromebook Choose your poison. Macbooks are tightly knit with Apple and phone home, but are absurdly expensive and people pay for the privilege of getting spied on. Same with Chromebooks: we're just another datapoint for Google, and much more data is collected. Why not hand out Thinkpads flashed with Trisquel Linux[0]? (A Libre Linux that respects privacy?). And don't get me started on Windows... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• What's your take on privacy focused services?

  Not a 'service' but Trisquel OS is a fully freedom-respecting and privacy-aware distro, and has no telemetry or phoning home. Source: 11 months ago

• Returning my ReMarkable 2

  I don't own a cell phone and my computer is entirely free, its BIOS replaced with libreboot running Trisquel, a 100% free-software operating system. Others can do this, too, if they really want the freedom. It is not hard, nor does it require expertise. It only requires the will to do it. Source: 11 months ago

• I like Ubuntu but not it's telemetry, any recomendations for distro?

  There's Trisquel, which is a GNU approved distro based on Ubuntu with all the non-free stuff removed. Otherwise I'd suggest something Debian or Devuan based, like MX Linux or Refracta. Source: over 1 year ago

• What is the best wearos watch according to google? :)

  Of course it's the Watch 5 Pro. Go to android.com it's even used in a promote video lol. Pixel Watch is just a joke. Source: about 1 year ago

• Surface Duo 2 November Update Build 2022.817.23

  I've been running with it for a short-while now. Need to go to android.com and see what fixes they made. Source: over 1 year ago

• Jetpack Compose: Horrifically slow in text input?

  As a follow-up, if jetpack can be used to build real and performant apps, does anyone have a good recommendation for a tutorial? I was trying to follow the demos linked of android.com, but it seemed as if there were vast differences between what they were saying to do, and what was in a newly bootstrapped project and the gradle files.

• Anyone else having Malwarebytes say Google.com is malware?

  This seems to be effecting all of Google's products. I can't get into any of my G-Suite sites, GMail accounts, google.com, android.com, etc. From any device that has Malwarebytes installed. The constant popups from Malwarebytes are annoying, but on a positive note, it is letting me see just how many apps on my computer phone in to Google. NZXT is the biggest offender, and seems to be constantly hitting up... Source: over 1 year ago

• Why do none of the major distros have KDE Plasma as default?

  I wish I could go to android.com download the latest ROM and install it myself, like I do with Linux, I hate waiting for phone manufacturers to release OS updates and security fixes. Source: over 1 year ago
