Install Guix

  • Careful. I tried doing this once. The company didn't like it and they ADDITIONALLY charged me a chargeback fee. So not only did I have to pay whatever bogus charge, I also had to pay a chargeback fee. :(

    Maybe I could have taken them to small claims court but ... eh ... that seemed like too much work.

  • I love Comaps. I have it installed on my Android phone. I contribute to OpenStreet maps when I can.

    But, I don't think Comaps is a realistic replacement for Apple or Google maps.

    One: OpenStreet maps is missing a toooon of locations, businesses and residential addresses. Two: having the enter the address in a non-standard way (for the US) City, Street, Building Number, makes finding things even harder. That's gonna instantly turn away 99% of people.

    I still begrudgingly have Google maps installed on my phone... :(

    I also have HERE Maps installed on my phone. It's way more usable than Comaps and it's not Google. But, it's not FOSS and still owned by a big corporation. But at least it's not (entirely) owned by the US (Magic Earth is). For me, I think HERE maps is a decent step away from Google.

    I'll still keep contributing to OpenStreet maps, hoping one day I can switch to Comaps.

  • An inspiration. I salute you, sir. I'm attempting the same.

  • I'm kinda coming around to using Fedora. I use Arch, btw, but Fedora is pretty close to how I configure my Arch system anyway. Plus, Fedora has a little extra polish with the splash screens that I don't bother with in my Arch setup.

    Maaaaybe...

  • Totally unbiased comparison between alternatives

    Does it suck: 4get: no (debunked by snopes)

    😆

  • Is it safe to update yet? I just noticed 2.6.0 was released on the 19th and then a few hours later 2.6.1 was released...

  • But for the past several months, Wayland has been well supported out-of-the-box on upstream Electron. An Electron blog post this week outlined the technical work done for achieving good Wayland support.

    Finally! Now to wait several years before all of the electron apps actually update their electron dependency.

  • X doubt

  • Perfect is the enemy of good. Moving to Signal would be way better than getting analysis paralysis and staying with Whatsapp.

  • A satirical website dubbed Malus (malice) has been making its rounds and fooling users after claiming it's deploying AI tools to recreate open source projects from scratch with corporate-friendly licensing (my personal favorite is Emergency AGPL Removal in the footer links)

    Hahaha. That's funny. Oh, guys.

  • I wish there was a FOSS or more open option, but damn I'm glad I'm using Kagi.

    Yes, I've tried SearXNG. No, I don't think it's a viable alternative. (yet?)

  • Hell yeah!

  • Na, it's a no-go if you need a phone right now. We're a few years out.

    But, Motorola did announce their partnership with GrapheneOS on the official Motorola blog: https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/

    Together, Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will work to strengthen smartphone security and collaborate on future devices engineered with GrapheneOS compatibility. ... In the coming months, Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will continue to collaborate on joint research, software enhancements, and new security capabilities, with more details and solutions to roll out as the partnership evolves.

    I actually did need a phone replacement a month ago and I went with Fairphone for now. Trying to spread out the power, instead of concentrating it.

  • GNOME, Guix, LogSeq, Signal, Codeberg

  • I think the correct answer is to go Motorola+GrapheneOS

  • Dropping X11 seems huge.
