Not saying we shouldn’t donate to worthy causes, but if we’re going to call using free software without paying abuse, then there are many technology users to round up.

Google sometimes deplatforms people as well. Regardless of one’s politics, one can’t be positive it won’t happen to them should the winds change.

I’m missing the rage over the switch. I like GNOME.

What is the recommended on-ramp for someone with a CS degree and a networking background?

I’m not condoning any of his alleged actions, but it’s neither Apple’s nor Alphabet’s place to unduly influence what I as a user do, say, think or feel.

Something on which we can all agree.

Oh, yes, please!!!

There’s a business phone switch owned by many of our customers for which licenses for file-based music-on-hold are no longer available from the manufacturer. An old iPod / Nomad / Zune / etc. fits the bill to connect to its built-in, no-additional-license-required music-on-hold audio port perfectly. It even comes with its own built-in UPS.

I don’t know how old this is but its relevance hasn’t diminished one bit

We are in the midst of greatness.

Outlawing the use of publicly-viewable data is just silly. It’s like two-party consent laws for wiretapping: it doesn’t actually stop anything nefarious from happening / it only busts someone if they get caught. Maybe.

UPDATE: Apparently Infinity still works across-the-board.

F-Droid keeps nagging me to update Infinity (which I refuse to do). Currently my Galaxy A32 5G is running v5.4.2 and it’s still showing up-to-date content every time I refresh. I know from a security standpoint this is a bad idea, but until we come up with a better solution, F-Droid still has it.

Both the APK I download directly from F-Droid and the one I pulled from my phone via ADB share this SHA256SUM hash.

Which instance will host them now?
