That’s a really cool project with good use cases, but that is easily worth hundreds of dollars. Your post honestly seems like a freelancer job post.

I think the study of Ludwig Wittgenstein is all about language being at the center of intelligence, no? I think it even argues that there is no real intelligence without language.

Got it. So it’s something similar to latest security proposals like not letting me download files on Windows because they are not normally downloaded. Or visiting a website with self signed certificates. So it’s more secure.

The apps complain: “You need Google Play services to use this app”.

So it’s about security. Right. What kind of security does McDonaldss need? Does it need security for their coupons?

Besides that, I thought payment gateway provided very good security by themselves.

But let’s steer from what happens on mainstream apps a little.

Isn’t Google Wallet or Online payments insecure too? Don’t they have tons security failures also? Human security failures, like if someone robs my phone and my info they would have access to my money?

Google and the smartphone industry employ accelerometers and other methods to make sure robbers can’t get to the system. They admit themselves that the systems aren’t safe and they’re working on AI and electronic methods to avoid access to sensitive information.

Is this the security you’re talking about? Maybe we should just steer the industry another way, like those Custom OSs do. Alternatives aren’t security potential threats. They’re the solution for the problem.

Making a monopoly based on making it “safe” isn’t secure at all.

I had Custom OSs installed before. My bank works fine, but there are apps that require Google Apps. I’d say that’s got pretty much to do with Google.

Well, Google is known for destroying its opposition.

I’m not sure, but clearly something happens on the background, as my Debian drive broke after I changed it back and forth for the Windows drive. Grub fell back to rescue mode. After following some instructions and trying to boot from grub command line, Debian wouldn’t boot after it recognized the mouse. That’s what I know. Even in different drives, something happens on the PC when you go back and forth with Windows and Linux.

Do you think I can program on a Windows VM? Do you work with it? I still use Windows because I need my programs to work on Windows (had my programs built on Linux fail on Windows Machines before). Do you have experience on this?

Not on my experience. But separate machines would work, if Microsoft never releases a “Wi-Fi network security patch for compatibility with all machines”.

It’s not just about privacy. Linux and open source communities are a safespace for a novel way of doing things.

I’ve found active small XMPP communities before, so I know they are there, but the client can’t seem to find these niche communities. The communities with most members almost don’t chat about current topics or interesting things. They have a lot of people but no conversation, just like some Discord communities.

My posts and comments are already exposed, so it seems like it would make sense to make votes public as well. I think it contributes to the general spirit of the platform.

I haven’t tested it.

Seems well organized. Nice interface too.

Linux is better than ever, but it is conflicting with Windows more than ever also. Changing between SSDs simply broke Debian for me. Anyway, Steam is doing an awesome job with compatibility, the games work much better than 2 years ago.

Bringing Flatpak to Slackware is a very inspiring endeavor that brings Linux data independence to another level.

I like Lemmy’s culture better. It isn’t perfect, and maybe someday I’ll create my own instance. And I can do that.

I agree that the hashtag scheme is bad. It attracts people that want to self-promote or bots.
