not exactly news
but still worth researching what the consequences of this were

Add the “Activate Linux” watermark as well.
The one from https://github.com/MrGlockenspiel/activate-linux

completely black

I don’t completely understand.
Why does normal shortcut open website without extensions? Does it open in private tab? And you have extensions disabled in private tabs?

The term that is often used for that is “source available”. Good example of other software in this category would be what, Unreal Engine?

Heard good things about https://plausible.io/

Taskbar is good, but I prefer SmartDock

Was it Yahtzee? Sounds like something he would come up with.

doesn’t Steam Hardware Survey report way higher percentage of Linux users?

(Statista, Blackdown)

wouldn’t Valve’s numbers be more reliable?

Funny how people tend to quote Linus Torvalds on technical issues in order to prove a point. I hear the guy barely made it through college.

Actually, I lied about even that. I was thrown out of fourth grade because I couldn’t write my own name, and it’s been all downhill from there. I had to lie about getting into college just so that I’d have better chances of making a career here at McDonalds - if you have a college degree (or you lied about having one), they don’t make you scrape the burger pans.

But it is a bit sad to see that Google considers the “phone” part of the “smartphone” be so obscure functionality that they left it’s development to community.
Maybe I should stop living in the past and just accept that the glowing rectangle that we carry around is actually a tiktok machine that can occasionally do some other stuff as well.

this is what open source dialer app died for?

Other comments already pointed to some very good software solutions.
But I would argue that absolutely the biggest barrier to entry for the masses is hardware.
Restoring an old PC or making some cable spaghetti with some SBC is currently too advanced for average person.
Self-hosting for the masses would require some new form of home servers.
Something modular, where adding new components would be as easy as playing with Lego bricks.

OH REALLY?

heh, good one

I appreciate everyone in this thread giving actually useful replies instead of pointing out that OP could have posted in a more suitable community.

Does Organic Maps support it?
