Why not?

1. By buying a Pixel phone and degoogling it, you are rewarding good behaviour and punishing bad behaviour, corporations need to be trained like dogs.
2. Google is not going anywhere and their primary objective is profit. By buying a Pixel you are signaling to them a viable revenue stream that doesn’t violate people’s privacy.
3. You don’t even need to give money to google directly, you can buy a second hand-one.

I say, vote with your wallet.

Can you post a source about either of those claims? I’ve found nothing to support either of them.

Telegram does have E2EE chats (called Secret Chats), though they are only one-on-one, not enabled by default and their encryption is dubious.

Allegedly the former. By “allegedly”, I mean that Telegram is definitely uncooperative in moderation of illegal content, the alleged part is that that is the motivation behind the arrest. I also read somewhere that he was accused of tapping into Macron’s manager’s communications, but I can’t find the article and I don’t know how reliable that statement is.

AFAIK OpenStreetMap itself doesn’t have live traffic info, and I do not know of any client that has it, sorry :(

OpenStreetMap, and the various clients for it. I personally am a big fan of Organic Maps, fast, responsive and clean. If you happen to be on iOS, I hear Apple Maps is also not as bad as Google, though also not open source.

Bishop’s glass is full, Horse’s glass is almost empty.

Arch Linux is actually very stable

The intent is to imply that low impulse control shows high intelligence.

Yes, it’s from there.

Cinnamon

Yeah, my point was more that both Manjaro and Ubuntu are systematically mismanaged derivatives of brilliant upstream distros with regular blunders in their development process, but with inexplicably large communities.

More like Ubuntu is to Debian what Manjaro is to Arch. And then Linux Mint takes the nice stuff from Ubuntu but does away with the bullshit.

What he meant is that people are unhappy when he asks about non-voters, and also when he asks about voters. He can’t win [the approval of people on Lemmy]. Also, not all leftists are marxists.

Since this is something that needs to be considered while programming, I’d presume such information falls under “related knowledge”.

Discord is proprietary spyware

I suggest you check out Revolt instead. It’s FOSS, self-hostable (AFAIK) and on par with Discord.

If FOSS is not a hard line for you, then Guilded is even better. While proprietary, it is free and vastly superior to Discord. Audio call bitrates are 256 Kb/s as opposed to Discord’s 96 Kb/s for the free tier. 256 Kb/s on Discord requires at least 7 server boosts. Guilded also has some really cool organisational features, such as schedules, event calendars, todo lists and docs (all of these are added to a server like ‘rooms’). Their privacy policy is also much more sane than Discords, and uBlock didn’t block anything on their website, which is a big green flag for me.

Not really, UK already crossed the finish line.

Yeah, France is already done colonising and exploiting Africa, Russia us just getting started.
