I remember reading about these Openmoko devices before most people (certainly I) owned smartphones.
I thought at the time it was the most awesome idea ever, especially because I wasn’t used to mobile Internet or even much computing. Now I am typing this from an Android tablet on a train in a foreign country without WiFi, so the world has definitely changed.
not heard of it before, do you want to explain what it is or does everyone who is like me have to separately do a web search for it?
I use neither Arch nor Ubuntu, btw
Those are all good points, except of course that “live problem-solving sessions” and “trial work periods” were definitely already a thing at my current job, yet the employer needed the résumé to decide whether to invite/consider me for that in the first place.
I have been using Linux since my mid-teens in the late 2000s (with interruptions). In the late 2000s and early 2010s I really did do a lot of tinkering with the computer, but nowadays I rarely even install new software and hardly ever think of my operating system, at all.
the problem is, what is the alternative? I have never been on the employer side of a hiring process before, only the job-seeking side, but from what I’ve read, it’s not a very good system for either side, yet I can’t easily think of a better alternative.
AFAIK a Steam Deck is a full Linux PC, so you can do anything on it that you can do on a Linux PC, including that. Whether this will be especially convenient is a different question.
Installed, it probably is if it works in Brave… it might not be set up right in LibreWolf though.
Good. The Internet was always supposed to be an opportunity to expand the overton window. It’s incredible how much we’ve been allowing tech companies to be censors in the first place, anything that undoes this development is good.
On a German QWERTZ keyboard too, μ is the only Greek letter you can easily type (altgr+m) and I’m pretty sure this is because of micro units.
If you want to enforce that, you need to fork it and put a copyleft license on it. This is very rarely done because it’s more work to maintain software than to write it…
They can change future versions to that, not already released ones.
Doesn’t PeerTube already do this? Maybe I am mistaken.
In any case there’s nothing inherently preventing this, just because a platform gets some of its data from other servers instead of its own users, it doesn’t mean it can’t use that data to run a recommendation algorithm.
I don’t want it though. I prefer choosing for myself what sources I want to get information from instead of getting any of it recommended by the platform operator.
And originally it was “general image manipulation program”.
The worst bills in Congress are usually overwhelmingly supported by both parties.
It’s a possible distinction to make, the main problem is that the article in the OP didn’t make that distinction.
Again, how do you define “social media”?
I grew up on IRC as well as web forums and found those social interactions very fun overall, not dissimilar from IRL social interactions.
OK, what’s the definition of “social media” for that purpose then?
