I definitely do not wish to see a push towards content that is created for the purposes of trying to monetize or self promote for the purposes of making money. The shilling is the worst part of lot of plarforms because of corporate interests that need to recoup costs or want to have a successful IPO so leads to inevitable ways to monetize users and monetizing users.

Leave the popular crowd drawing shills on the corporate platforms. While it would be nice for the fediverse to have more niche thriving communities if it means becoming filled with shills then at that point why even bother with the fediverse.

Basically don't download apks from telegram.

And it's capable of productivity with free tools like blender, visual studio code, and da vinci resolve. So that extra hardware can be used beyond just gaming.

I got OsmAnd for GPS in case mobile data is down.

Not really. These aren't monetized sites, but just individuals inviting guests to use their instance over self hosting their own, and there's other instances people can move to.

Each instance is better seen as individual forums than a reddit type centralized site. Some forums allows cross account logins, and some you have to create another account. And defederation doesn't cause that instance to cease to exist like banning a community or subreddit does.

Yeah, I think there needs to be a push for less of these circle jerk posts. It seem more appropriate for a meme community than something that I at least assume is meant to be about more focused discussion about Linux than a Windows fixation.

I hate when these type of articles never directly list the apps that were removed.

Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand the dislike for snap.

Benefit I found from rooting is backing up apps, since Android still sucks in that area. Especially third party app data.

Yeah, I genuinely do not understand having used Windows, Linux, and MacOS. They are making it sound like it's trying to decipher some unknown language. Even a quick YouTube would have solved how to install a exe.

Reminds me of Black Mirror White Christmas episode. I could use that feature.

I've like GOG since whether they disappear they provide installers for users, so it's the best of both worlds of easy launcher management and installer for those that want to archive and self host everything they buy.
