Vim works great. Don't see why you'd want to use anything else, except maybe Emacs.

I keep seeing people say that but as a Linux user, Chromium has hardware acceleration and works better with Wayland.

Chrome policies also allow preventing telemetry so how is this any better?

YAML would be almost perfect if it allowed tabs and their reasoning against them is stupid IMO. The main argument against YAML is that it is difficult to parse, but there are plenty of high-quality parsers.

TOML just looks ugly and confusing when it comes to more complex things but looks great for just strings.

JSON is worst IMO because of lack of comments. I think YAML is a lot more readable than JSON but some people like the strict requirements.

Nope, especially not the cheap Walmart clothes. Most fabrics are at least 60% polyester

Rayon is still incredibly toxic to produce because of the process.

Have you checked if they have official packages yet? I was surprised to find that half my AUR packages already were in official recently. Font packages and Android Studio can easily take up 5G. Also, you don't need an AUR helper.

Windows is a proprietary platform that exploits oppression. Think about it.

So much that they use their proprietary OS to collect information about users in order to exploit them.

How do you call yourself a company that prides itself on open source but you always put support for Linux on the back burner?

The only reason people use CentOS is so they don't have to pay for RHEL licensing for all their servers. There are so many better options for Linux distros.

If companies, including movie companies, don't want their content getting out for free then don't mass market it. Stop advertising it. Don't sell it in every retail store in America and put out displays with the characters. Don't create billboards. Otherwise these companies are trying to psychologically manipulate you and your kids and pay for something before seeing it usually with negative messages about how alcohol, affairs and violence will somehow make your life better and more exciting.

That is how the Mozilla community works and the kind of people they attract.

Why don't we have a Native American history month, or Hispanic? Is it because those races are just like white people, never have to face discrimination? Never have anyone judge them because of how they look?

What about all other races that are discriminated against or people that are bullied? Do those matter?

Coinbase hasn't scaled very well IMO, probably because of people like this. Once you try out Kraken it is like night and day difference in terms of features and supported currencies.

Something that won't even help their resumes in the long run.

Firefox enables just as much telemetry as Chrome. Fortunately they provide policy options to disable them, but they are enabled by default. Chrome and Chromium also has an equal amount of policies that can be disable to better protect privacy.

Chromium was never intentionally limiting any APIs to prevent ad-blockers. I think the whole thing was blown out of proportion, although I get some of the frustration, especially when their main stream of revenue is advertising.

I personally don't use Firefox because it doesn't work as well on modern Linux. Chromium supports Wayland much better. I get weird artifacts on Firefox when running in Sway on Wayland, especially when switching between full-screen and split. Additionally, I still don't believe Firefox properly handles video hardware acceleration and Chromium does on my distro using the native package manager.

Both browsers could benefit from separating their solutions into open source protocols, for example bookmarks, password, and other sync services. This way syncing is done at file-system level like gopass-bridge and Browserpass. GPGme already has an app called gpgme-json for app integration. That way people can use Syncthing, Nextcloud, or whatever preferred cloud-sync solution. I know Firefox has tried building it's own password manager into Firefox, and Chromium has half-assed this as well, but the tools are already there they could just adopt and would provide a much safer and better overall experience.

These platforms and engineers should feel a duty to innovate—not for the sake of a paycheck, company directive, or personal enrichment—but for the community to have a piece of software that is a message of freedom. When they send URLs to remote services by default for safe search, network prediction, etc. they aren't free. When they implement their own centralized sync solution, but make it difficult for you to implement a decentralized or locally-hosted sync solution, then they aren't free. When advertisers are able to use supported JavaScript to port scan your computer, track every pixel movement, and track you around the web; then the software isn't free and neither are you.

Any service that is covered under G Suite.

No, I had removed the app from my mobile previously, not deleted my account. When I resynced, they had removed my account and the messages saved on my desktop disappeared.

It looks like a yellow notification that says you need to re-link your mobile device, and in order to do so you have to take a picture of a QR code from your mobile device.

Signal should at least make itself available on F-Droid.

I just opened my Signal desktop app that I had synced previously. It asked me to resync again with my mobile device, which needs camera permissions to take a picture of a QR code. I had previously removed Signal from my mobile device. Low and behold, my account no longer existed and I had to sign back up with a phone number. I then clicked sync and most of my messages on my desktop are gone. I don't see how this is easy by any standard.

That is actually false. You have to pay for AT&T. If you pay for G Suite then you have access to live support.

Definitely try an Arch-based distro. I run Arch myself, but I've heard good things about Manjaro.

For Signal desktop on Linux to not require that I validate my mobile device randomly to read my encrypted messages. If it used GPG then this wouldn't be a problem.

As far as I am aware E2E only works on mobile and I think Mac for Telegram, although there may be third-party apps that support it. As long as you use E2E then I believe it has a lot more active users and probably has received an equal amount of security validation, so you should be fine.

Support who? Government has power to take down any domain, especially TLDs and registrars in the US. People should be supporting decentralized DNS and name servers if they want to be safe from takedowns.

What about when it is the government taking down a domain for hosting illegal or copyrighted content? What happens when you give the government enough power to take down a domain for political dissent? The problem you mention isn't with Google, it is with how TLDs and domain registrars work in the first place.

The Signal app experience leaves a lot to be desired compared to Telegram or Matrix.
