  • You know there's plenty of control freaks micromanaging everything underneath them even if it pisses off their best people to the point of quitting.

    Especially those 1 or 2 rungs higher up the chain who need to make up problems to solve so they can justify their existence.

  • Worker ownership of the means of production.

    I.e. profits from goods and services go to those who provide them rather than investors.

  • The city of Munich's move to open source software across thousands of workstations was by all accounts a success on a technical level, which I'm sure could be replicated by most European administrations.

    The problem was, of course, political. The incoming conservative admin needed to paint the outgoing center admin as incompetent, and to do their usual corruption of course. So they jumped on a specific department's complaint about an issue with one piece of software to cancel and roll back the entire fucking project.

    A few months later, Microsoft opened up their new European headquarters in Munich. By sheer coincidence I'm sure. And in no way related to the fact that they have an incentive in the billions to keep people convinced there is no workable alternative even decades later.

  • It's still preemptive compliance by Microsoft.

    Trump loves this shit because if it blows up, he can just say "I never ordered this."

  • Also check out Droid-ify instead. Same repos but much better UX than the native F-Droid client.

  • Pixels are known for their outstanding camera quality and you can get GrapheneOS on them.

  • The GrapheneOS dev wrote a wrapper / sandbox for the Google core services that spoofs some "required" APIs, and it allows full control over permissions.

  • Who's stopping them? Genuine question.

  • No they made millions. They're just leaving 486 of them behind specifically.

  • Soccer fans have below average concern for world politics, in my experience.

  • Patreon's own fees are too high and were restructured in a scummy way.

  • For most people it's unfortunately just "is it like Twitter" - both in terms of accessibility and algorithmic content suggestion.

  • Or just used an auto-upscaler.

  • I guess it is nowadays compared to PWAs.

  • Except British homes which have two separate showerheads, one fully hot and the other fully cold.

    The trick is to spin.

  • Dragging them on Mission Control hasn't worked for my apps. I've had to exit fullscreen, move screens, then reengage fullscreen.

    The double-click to maximize often doesn't work. Many windows either do nothing, or resize only to a specific size, or maximize only vertically. Totally not infuriating.

    Rectangle is the tool I use to make windows behave.

  • M4 Mac user here happy to shed some light onto this. It's actually very intuitive:

    "Full screen" on Mac means the current App window becomes a new temporary virtual desktop, which is placed after your normal virtual desktops. It also turns off the status bar / app menu, although you don't get that screen space back because of the camera notch, it's just blacked out.

    Note that how many virtual desktops you have and which one is selected is specific to each display. So if you like multitasking, it really helps if you're good at remembering all of them in the correct order including any fullscreen apps and the display they were on. And I hope you don't mind performing the same swiping gesture multiple times to get back to your fullscreen app. Also you can't move it between displays.

    You might just want to maximize your app window instead. Though you may need third-party software to do that.

  • Noo we just demand this specific instance of deregulation because... uh, it theoretically might help small businesses!

    Also why would you even care about anything other than short-term GDP increase. Are you some kind of communist?!?
