It’s the one time where I am glad to have a slightly unusual name.

Honestly it’s so nice. I ended up buying lastname.tld so now I will always have firstname@lastname.tld even if I change provider because I can just point the domain to whatever provider I like.
But I saw it in Shrek!?!?!

Leah has said some dumb stuff but I think this particular separation from the GNU project was the correct decision. The dogmatic no blobs approach wasn’t working, it is better to reduce/minimise the binary blobs and support more devices imo. Don’t agree with their previous actions though.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Libreboot Open-Source BIOS/UEFI Firmware Adds More Hardware Support
19·2 years agoNot entirely the case anymore. Libreboot switched to a blob reduction policy in order to support more hardware. Hopefully this will bring things forward quite a bit over the next year.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Signal usage survey, what versions do you use? Wanted for potential Flatpak adoption
151·2 years agoSame. I just didn’t have any use for signal after SMS removal. Yes I know SMS is insecure but I was stuck. Either you use a separate secure app and magically convince everyone else to use it whilst falling back onto a separate SMS app anyway (for those who don’t use the encrypted app). Or alternatively you just have to use a mainstream app like Google Messenger with SMS plus RCS.
At least when signal supported it I could migrate family to signal and then our communication would be encrypted and they could still message everyone else over SMS. It meant a large portion of my messages were encrypted. After SMS removal everyone I had on signal just quit so there was no one to communicate with. Trying to get people to use multiple apps was like herding cats.

I’m pretty sure the haunted Victorian pencil that is Jacob Rees-Mogg said that the UK not having universal USB-C was a “Brexit benefit”. God help us all.
