@nixCraft Day by day, I find it harder and harder to understand why even well-educated people still choose proprietary operating systems and, even worse, web browsers from these suppliers, for their primary use.

This is a quite long video and it's two years old, but it's worth it. It explains how the stuff people hate in modern has its roots all the way back in , despite it being beloved by many as one of the best OS'es ever made. Stick until the very end to get the answer to solving all these issues.

Daily reminder that if you can't control your computer, then it doesn't belong to you.

Switch to instead.

@PJDavidson excellent infographic! Great reminder to say fuck and its freedom-infringing bullshit.

Out of all the companies, it's the *single* worst one in terms of greed, control-thirst and lock-in, and yet nobody seems to be pointing them out on this.

Never forget "Flash for Linux," which they stopped developing thinking it would hurt us, but HTML5 crushed it. Then, after it clearly became useless, they resumed its development.

Nope, fuck Adobe, once again.

is a terrible company. Apart from their overall track record summarized in this video, they also want to force you to being unable to sue them with a ToS change in their phone software.

Il monopolio della tecnologia: un disastro
RIcopio qui l'intervento che Roberto Foglietta ha scritto su LinkedIn:

È arrivata finalmente la carta d'indentità digitale. Una roba che schifavo già quando se ne parlava a Genova nei congressi di Liguria Digitale, che penso fosse il 2010/11. Dopo 12 anni, il male sembra aver prevalso.Ma come spesso succede, piove sul bagnato.

@izaya It doesn't anyway, it's used as a tool to promote anti-competitive (which should always be flagged as suspicious) way too often to know what it's doing.

EasyAntiCheat should be flagged as a rootkit. Denuvo is also spyware.

How nice it is to wake up on a work from home day, go pick up the work laptop and realize that it TURNED ITSELF ON over the night and was sitting there doing whatever the fuck it might be doing. Draining the battery in the process.

See, when machines start doing something I did not request or authorize, that only produces one kind of reaction from me. It's not convenient: it creeps me out.

Thank Microsoft always for a nice reminder of the issues with .

about Inner Source, which is basically Open Source minus the Software Freedoms. Coined by (surprise, surprise) that great friend of Free Software, Tim O'Reilly, Inner Source is the parasitic use of Open Source development practices by proprietary software companies, with no respect for the software freedoms of the people using the resulting software. *shudder*
