Not to mention the fact that there's still Android devices that have bootloaders that can't "just be unlocked". Looks like this is now changing but the Canadian model of the LG G6 couldn't be rooted for a long time, and while I wouldn't have bought it if it was up to me because of that, it wasn't up to me because it was just a hand-me-down to replace a phone I had that was way older.

In fairness though that's just a UI for git in the same vein as things like GitKraken or GitCola atm if I'm not mistaken

  • BlueSky (if you can get an invite and want to see Twitter with less Nazis and more sex workers).

It sounds like Twitter with more Nazis (and other adjacent groups) from what I've heard to be totally honest

Honestly, even as someone who's big on only ever using Linux and never having to use Windows as my actual operating system ever again, I've spun up VMs running Windows so I can run Photoshop or something, because the Linux alternatives like GIMP really pale in comparison. Like, I actually hate using GIMP for some stuff at all.

At least in the case of Windows I can understand it, since its stranglehold on the OS market makes it so it's legitimately very, very difficult for people to switch since they'll often rely on Windows-only software that might also work poorly in Wine on Linux, if it works at all. My mom uses many such pieces of software for her job. Chrome though, it feels like there really is no real reason to keep using it other than plainly being stubborn and/or afraid of change. Chrome doesn't even barely have any real killer features other than Google having intentionally made using some of their services slightly worse to use on Firefox, which I would hardly call a "feature" either.

Never heard of this one, thanks for the link! I've always liked the idea of home automation-connected voice assistants for disability aid reasons, but no way in hell I'm using Siri or Alexa or whatever the Google one is called

Would be nice to have Lemmy Lite as a UI option for people who don't super like the default UI. The Github says it's not intended for use in prod yet so I don't expect it to be installed here right now or really any time soon, but I figured it'd be good to mention anyhow
