Green Ubuntu

Users have the right to choose the Linux distribution that best suits their needs. Different Linux distributions offer different features and user experiences. To downplay these differences and claim that all distributions are the same is ignorant. Anyone who wants to get the most out of Linux should be aware of the wealth of options available.

It’s like buying shoes - if someone says they’re too tight, you can say, “You picked the wrong size, lol.” Each pair of shoes is different in many ways.

So, if you can’t understand that different Linux distributions provide different experiences, it’s better for you to stick with Windows, which offers a uniform experience, and not argue about it.

You might try OnlyOffice 😄

TL;DR:

• Windows Recall, part of Microsoft’s new Copilot+ PC initiative, has sparked major privacy and security concerns.
• The feature uses AI to capture and store screen data locally, allowing users to search for past activities using natural language.
• Despite assurances that data is not uploaded to the cloud or used by Microsoft, user trust is lacking.
• Microsoft has a history of practices that have eroded user trust, including obtrusive ads, ignoring user preferences, and requiring Microsoft Accounts.
• Users are skeptical, fearing future misuse of the collected data for advertising or AI training.
• Windows Recall reportedly stores data unencrypted, making it vulnerable to access by third-party apps and potential malware.
• The open nature of Windows amplifies these risks, unlike more secure systems like iOS and Android.
• Users have compared Windows Recall to spyware, with many threatening to switch to other operating systems like Linux or Mac.
• Microsoft’s attempts to keep the development of Windows Recall secret did not help build trust.
• Windows Recall will only be available on new Copilot+ PCs, requiring specific hardware not present in existing PCs.
• Users will have the option to disable the feature, but there are concerns about it being enabled by default.
• Despite security issues, the feature is effective in helping users find lost or forgotten data.
• It could improve productivity if trust and security concerns are resolved.

Spotify Premium in practice has new benefits!

More specifically: Lyrics that they took away from regular users some time ago.

But users are too addicted to “traditional” social media, so no matter what happens they won’t stop using it.

They complain a little and stop there.

Nah. No way. I don’t want my computer asking me for vodka…

Thanks!

And in Linux, you install the system, create an account… and that’s it

We need to make more memes like this. Now we are considered crazy using Linux. They need to be repaid for it 🥰

Let’s clone Russia, censor it and ban original

I noticed that recently every post on Proton’s blog has been an advertisement of their services.

They are hypocrites.

A few days ago they posted that corporations are bad because they collect fingerprints, profile users, etc., yet they are no better, as their mobile apps rely on Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) owned by Google to deliver notifications to their users.

In 2020 they wrote that they “may offer alternative push notification system”, but apparently shitting on corporations is easier than making actual changes. Four years ago.

By default, none. You can install Google services, then your phone will use their proprietary NLP system.

You can also install microG (an application that pretends to be a Google service and connects to it, but sending minimal data, respecting your privacy) and then you will use MozillaNLP and DejaVuNLP at the same time.

MozillaNLP: you send a list of WiFi networks around you to Mozilla over the Internet, you get location data

DejaVuNLP: a local database built on your phone. When a GPS location signal is available, DejaVu fetches the list of WiFi networks and adds this list of networks corresponding to the given GPS coordinates to its database for later use

One of us, one of us!

Imagine not being able to upgrade your Linux because you have modified YOUR system to suit YOUR needs. Fuck them…

UnifiedNlp has been abandoned. MicroG now has built-in MozillaNLP and DejaVuNLP.

Have you checked?

Thank you merciful Google immeasurably for agreeing to delete data that you shouldn’t have collected anyway!
