the clock app has a built in spotify integration and player.
the calculator sends diagnostic data.

ukraine, poland, no-one cares abt it here :p

i never hav to use one lmao

i mean unless your phone is locked to a carrier (which is pretty rare???) there’s nothing stopping you?

you can root Samsung really easily tho?
you lose some features if you decide ti go back tho

or you can allow public authenticated access to dns over https… (just don’t expose the raw udp dns server, it’s a really bad idea)
(not sure if DoT can also support auth, but if it does that’s great because android supports dot natively)

don’t think it’s possible to run photoshop on linux at all (except ancient versions)

tbf Samsung has a decent-ish ecosystem as well…
as long as all your devices are Samsung ones

there’s stuff like automatic earbud switching, dragging files between devices, “continue work on other device”, Samsung seamless codec for audio etc

lol last time i played one of them forced me into selling all of my property

yes, but most games aren’t.
there’s no reason to avoid good indie games just because they’re not foss, unless you’re a toxic fossbro or something

most games are not foss, and it makes sense.
(games are more like works of art ranter than software after all, so it just doesn’t matter)

copyright will eventually expire after your death

and cc nc does not prevent derivatives, just profiting off of them without explicit permission, which is not that big of a deal

the author can still sell the work, the NC prevents other people from profiting off of it without explicit permission (this does not prevent exemptions, work can still be sold under cc-by-sa as an exemption)

or CC BY-NC-SA (the non-commercial-use-only one)

omg ellie?

i mean you can just buy a Dell laptop with a copy of Ubuntu preloaded instead, they sell those as an option with most models

i mean it’s annoying but how is it disgusting?
it just shows recently opened files/software mixed in with stuff you open frequently, it’s not an ad section or anything.
but yeah i have disabled it on all my machines, because I’m not using it + disabling it adds two extra rows of pinned apps…

they don’t offer reasonable free tiers (I don’t have a reliable source of income and i just need it for hobby stuff) and I’m unable to sign up with either of those with my ukrainian credit card anyway (they all reject both my credit and debit cards)
well i haven’t tried signing up for azure yet but I don’t have much hope

also I don’t care about it’s cdn features, i need a dns server and a way to proxy ipv4 traffic over ipv6 (and cloudflare tunnels for ssh)

there’s no alternative tho, and by definition alternatives will have the same level of access…

that’s just dns tho
but yeah, obviously your dns provider can see the dns requests (aka domain names) you’re making, that’s the whole point of dns server
