except that's not happening. It's giving big tech good PR while they keep doing exactly what they have been doing for the past 2+ years (i.e. pretending to care about right to repair, and the environment, and whatever other good-soundign cause they can think of, without actually doing any of it)

No they will not.

That's a shitty article by a "journalist" that hasn't read the bill otherwise they would know that it's NOT right to repair, but rather it's a bill disguised as right to repair that actually gives even more monopolistic powers to big tech.

Well, if you want to get all mathemagical about it, a horsey moves as a mash-up of:

formula because lemmy doesn't do latex

That's right, horses move by doing what's known as the vector dance, in any direction they please. Checkmate, math style! 🐴

and if you look closely that looks like the kanji for ground 土 twice, so you know that they can't fly

I wish nix had something similar as I rarely use flatpaks

then just use fedora asahi remix because the asahi linux team did the work for you, also they would really appreciate some donations

Yes sir, I sometimes feel sad when a good piece of software doesn’t have a donation button or license to buy

Yep, I feel that too. There is too much gratis software that's actually good and I want to pay for but many FOSS developers are scared to ask for money for some reason

I only used winrar when I was a kid. I've been using linux (and macos) for most of my life and before that I used 7zip for my zipping needs, so no winrar license for me.

I agree, BUT, you should pay anyways. FOSS developers should be paid

don't lump in everyone with musk, there are many people that actually believe in free speech

is not exactly Google Maps in terms of usability, but it’s a functional map

I would personally say that it's better than Google Maps. It's more accurate at least

click the button that says more then add a shortcut to your favorite map service

Their search results constantly impress me and honestly it's 10 bucks for unlimited searches, it's worth it even if it's not a business expense, plus since you're paying for the service they're less likely to track you. I wish their code was FOSS, but I'll take it, still better than google, bing, and all the others I've tried.

Also they actively promote the small web and you can even personalize your search results by removing websites you don't like from the searches (for example I have a lot of big tech websites blocked)
