Copy pasting my other reply about the same thing:

I would argue that BSD licensing keeps projects more free of corporate influence if started by hobbyists.

Corpo forks BSD/Apache/whatever software, doesn’t publish source, nerds don’t use it and look for the original, the end.

Corpo forks copyleft software, publishes releases on GutHib with literal zip files in the repo semi annually. Original maintainer gets taunted with “but the corpo one has feature X, the code is free, you should use it”. If they don’t merge it, they get labeled an egoist and people go use the corporate one. If they do merge it, eventually the entire project gets bloated and barely readable, is held together by @redhat.com patches, and eventually all development is just corporate decisions. There’s no escape.

You know, we are all victims of it ourselves. I am using Firefox rn. There was little to no “conversion” as they started out corporate. They have patches merged from the Tor people for actual privacy, although removed from the settings because “meh, nobody would want that” (sponsors would disapprove). The privacy they are marketing for normies is a list of like 20 domains.

Yeah uh so we are very private by default, there’s no google tracking but if a site loads an ad or a youtube embed there’s google tracking, also we block embeds for privacy except specifically youtube.

It’s all corporate decisions. While I don’t use the specific variant(s) and didn’t observe it, I once saw the Firefox home page on someone else’s device. It was football stats followed by “sponsored links”. I thought it was Edge for a second.

And there’s no escape. Web pages are no longer actual pages oftentimes, they are fat blobs of 3 language conversions on top of each other targeting only the specific 3 (sometimes 2) big brand web browsers as the backend: Firefox, Chromium and Apple’s Webkit fork. They are all corporate. The fat blob generators are also corporate.

I counter: !fuckcars@lemmy.world

Even if taken literally, the second part would still then be my “sincere view” and therefore “the correct opinion”, no?

Sooooooo just renamed Anubis? Daring today, aren’t we?

“GMail takeout files” aren’t a thing. mbox is a standard file format from Unix. Some Unix-likes provide the mail command and on others you have to install s-nail, after which you can do mail -f {path to mbox} to view all mail inside. If there are multiple files, you can literally just concatenate them like so: cat /somedirectory/*.mbox > theultimate.mbox.

Apart from that, most GUI mail clients allow viewing mbox. When the mbox file updates, the client says you have new mail. For example, in Claws Mail, skip setup, then go to plugins and enable the mbox plugin (while you are there, may as well enable pgp, s/mime, calendar, dillo to handle all formats). Then, go to create new account, and in the “Basics” tab, select “local mbox file” for "Receive protocol ". It will then ask for a file path.

Also, if your Google account settings allow, you can literally just login to Google from Claws mail. Set protocol to IMAP, then set Authentication method to Oauth2 in both Receive and Send tabs. Proceed with setup as usual and it will open your default web browser to login. After that, it will download your entire history of mail.

That’s exactly why I don’t like Linux that damn CIA project. Once I leave parents’ crib, imma sell my best laptop (with no parents looking at me like an absolute moron) then get a ThinkPad T450p from a crackhead and then get someone else to buy that one MacBook CPU with an adapter board from Aliexpress and give that to me so that I can finally compute in peace with some BSD.

There’s another repo with a Docker file and that was all written with Claude too for some reason. Though I don’t see why in the ever living fuck this would need Docker.

Also, why are we even getting excited over a vacuum cleaner existing as a pile of markdown files talking about it? There are lots of these, actually.

Top 3 committers is: some org account, another org account but with “.ai” in it, claude

EDIT: they are not only the top 3 committers, they are the only 3 committers

EDIT0: repo is all screenshots and markdown files, another one has a trivial amount of code also written with ai

Also, Valve only officially supports Ubuntu LTS desktop (Gnome). And their own OS of course. Yes, despite having the Steam runtime. The only thing this means is that support agents will say “but did you try installing Ubuntu?”.

What is this from?

The browser is loosing millions of users that have not opted out of the user estimate ping, including by using forks that have it off by default*

EDIT: it’s not even that, it’s “statcounter”, that’s tracking being blocked lmaooo

There are other reasons to not use Linux, but Linux (+glibc +systemd +libinput…) is basically “the Unix” nowadays…

Ngl we basically can’t buy anything anymore
