Iirc, the list is of operating systems that the FSF recommends. You could have a system running 100% free software, but the FSF won't recommend it if the distro makes it easy to theoretically install proprietary code. It's fine to run such a system, but the FSF won't recommend it.
My family will never ditch proprietary apps. It's either me having to have a complicated setup with multiple phones or profiles in grapheneos to talk to them, or being able to use a third-party app I can be ok with having on my main phone. Even if our communication is not private, I'd love to be able to just not have whatsapp installed in any way. That would be good for me.
This post led me down a rabbit hole (no pun intended) investigating the etymology of "bunny" and now I am convinced the artist did this on purpose.
Bunny used to be "coney", pronounced to rhyme with "money" or "honey", but the pearl-clutchers back in the day thought it sounded too close to "cunt", so the words "bunny" and "rabbit" replaced it. Historically, there was a clear connection, and in this picture, where is the bunny? It covers up what is deemed too explicit to show! This picture has so many layers to ponder and also it makes me a little horny tbh.
In my work I've been around many things that can be considered gross. Cutting away dead flesh around a bed sore that's a big rotting hole into the body, a woman eating her own feces like a mars bar, etc. One time I slipped and fell into a puddle that was a mix of edema fluids leaking through the skin, and urine. After a while you get desensitized, and it's just... matter. Atoms. I saw this woman who fell and her head went into the ground hard and blood just pumped out of her head into her long hair, it was like one big lump of hair that soaked up the blood, she lived for a day after that and I held her hand when she died. It's a strange thing to be around dying people all the time, I'm not sure if I've made peace with it or if I'm broken in some way.
My banking apps just work(tm) without any work or fiddling. (Sweden) You can have a separate space for apps that need google play and all that and it has no access to your private data.
I have a swedish keyboard because I am swedish, we have three extra letters compared to the english alphabet. Which means that the standard swedish keyboard layout had to tuck away some symbols into very awkward places using AltGr to type. Programming and using Vim is a bad experience with a swedish keyboard imho.
A narrative? Like, "Not only am I naked, I'm on my way to... water the plants. They are thirsty, and so am I... In the background, dimly lit, you can see an ESP32 microcontroller... yup, that's the kind of guy I am... oh my, I can do pulse width modulation with my bare hands..."
Could it be that desktop usage in general has gone down? That people use their phones and tablets for browsing and similar tasks. Then Linux would have a bigger share, but maybe not because there are more users.
As a TeX hobbyist, I would argue that they serve slightly different purposes. Plain TeX is for typography, the workflow is that of low level control where your human judgement is needed for interventions and decisions. LaTeX serves a different purpose, it aides the author of a text to focus on the content while abstracting away the underlying inherent problems in fitting letters on a page. TeX is small, difficult, but simple. LaTeX is huge, with 30 years of abstractions built on top of abstractions, until nowadays few people know how to actually deal with an overfull or underfull hbox the right way.
Wow, Spain is way ahead of my country (Sweden), we have much to learn. Unfortunately our politicians are not the best at the moment, but hopefully in the future.
It seems like backend companies are ready for this, but today, what are the options for individual end users looking to escape google etc? Proton has a package with mail, storage, etc, murena for phones, nextcloud, opencloud, suite numerique, is the industry converging on any standards here like .odt for documents but for other standards and protocols?
The good thing about open source is that it's open, so hopefully it will benefit everyone. Of course, hosting always cost money, but the tech itself isn't locking you in.
