First aid pack in their car.

That’s the problem with Netflix.

You open a browser. Because Netflix app is just a webapp anyway.

Powershell. I checked and the command is like PS > [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString([System.Convert]::FromBase64String(“YmxhaGJsYWg=”))

Noone is going to actually use this. Why it can’t be just “base64 -d” like on *nix?

For whois in Windows 11 search results points to a .exe program to download manually from Microsoft site. I didn’t know they included recorder recently, my bad. FTP client I didn’t know too, still it’s a console client and no integration in Explorer.

Office365 in the menu is just a webview.

Oh but average person don’t care about C compiler, torrent client, blah blah blah.

Yes, they care. When they need help with their computer, call me and I have to install 10 different programs to do basic stuff. And I can’t just type names of programs into package manager and install all at once, no no no.

Yes! Really, how do you even calculate base64 using Windows? With freakn Microsoft Edge!

Windows don’t have preinstalled git, torrent, PDF reader, stresstest, whois tool, FTP client, C compiler, screen recorder, disk imager, markdown editor, 7zip/RAR/tar opener. Most Linux distros have it out-of-the-box and with smaller footprint.

Even Office. Office suite is not preinstalled on Windows, but on Linux is! But what is preinstalled is TikTok and Netflix download shortcut.

Some Xiaomi phones have this:

Would you like to be hit with a full or empty glass bottle?

If you really have to use it, web application would not be that agressive to ask for permissions and that’s it. You can use app like Shelter to isolate WhatsApp’s Android app so it would not have your contact and installed apps list.

All of them.

Richard Stallman itself said GPLv3 is already covering everything, source: https://framatube.org/w/1DbsMfwygx7rTjdBR4DPXp

Licence must be tested in the court to really know if it’s working. We first need to see if GPLv3 would fail in AI cases, if yes then we need new version.

Thanks everyone for responces 😊.

Of course, but someone needs to add it and who still uses web browser to download system packages besides using some outdated system at friend’s house :).

Most software sites are staticly pre-generated. For just description, download, recent versions, links… there is no need for server side code. Also many browser obfuscate used operating system to currently most popular for fingerprinting restistace.

Wallabag is nice, you share a link and it archives it’s content like in reader view.

Matrix has encrypted messages, the point of the post is that Matrix does not protect metadata (who speak to who) enough like Signal.

I see that initial setup require using Beeper’s desktop client.

Interpersonal communication is too important to use a closed apps, better to wait for those convinient features to arrive at free ones.

Yes, 100% propietary client.

You cannot see how the app works, cannot change how it works, cannot tell anyone how it works…

Huge deal for something as basic and important as interpersonal communication.

I’m glad for their work for the ecosystem. But when user respecting alternative is available, a propietary app should be thrown in a trash bin.
