Do you have time to talk about our lord and saviour, Termux-X11 ?

Schools should be the first place where proprietary software should be replaced with FOSS.
Microsoft understands the “get them while they are young” method very well, understands that it is a very significant element of the cycle that keeps them in power, and therefore puts a lot of effort into making sure that this does not change.
So getting children to learn on FOSS and the concepts around it would result in very significant changes, especially in long-term.

Is there any project or organisation that is already trying to achieve that?
If yes, then it would be good to spread the word about them around the internet.

doesn’t Steam Hardware Survey report way higher percentage of Linux users?

wouldn’t Valve’s numbers be more reliable?

Funny how people tend to quote Linus Torvalds on technical issues in order to prove a point. I hear the guy barely made it through college.

Actually, I lied about even that. I was thrown out of fourth grade because I couldn’t write my own name, and it’s been all downhill from there. I had to lie about getting into college just so that I’d have better chances of making a career here at McDonalds - if you have a college degree (or you lied about having one), they don’t make you scrape the burger pans.

heh, he had good sense of humour already back in 1999

there is a bridge, but some parts of the fediverse got very mad about it

GotHub seems to display basic GitHub stuff decently well.

I wonder how angry will the maintainers be in 2036:

aaaa, why do we have to support this ancient release, why did we promise 12 years of support

Listen, strange penguins biting people is no basis for a system of government.

they did it for da lulz

so this is similar to LibRedirect?
https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
https://libredirect.github.io/
check out this list of privacy frontends and see if you can implement any of them in Predirect

Also, I see that you only handle one instance for redirect. Either the default instance or custom instance.
Consider implementing multiple instances. Here is list of instances that LibRedirect uses:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libredirect/instances/main/data.json
Here is a list of instances that Farside.link uses:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benbusby/farside/master/services-full.json

Both LibRedirect and Farside still have to deal with the rate-limiting problem with Youtube and Reddit and I assume other sites as well. Invidious instance or Teddit instance can be rate-limited, resulting in video not playing or post not showing up.
If your extension does not distribute user traffic across multiple instances, then I assume that your chosen instances will get hammered into ratelimit even faster than other instances.
So consider thinking about solution for this.
One of suggestions that I like is to allow user to provide an URL to a list of instances.
That way, someone or some automated system can periodically compose a list of instances and users can “subscribe” to that list.

Also some useful links:

my dudes, I am dissapoint

but ok, yes, for actual remote desktop, VNC or RustDesk, despite RustDesk being some open-core implementation that holds the good stuff in the proprietary release. At least it was when I last checked it out.

I think that starting from the beginning on Lemmy is a great opportunity to make news communities make more sense.
Specifically, !worldnews should not exist. It is a relic from Reddit that implies that !news is not for all news but just for news from some part of the world. In my opinion, there should be effort put into making this community as inactive as possible. As that would be the result of people posting news from all over the world in !news.

lol
but this does bring up a real concern:
I highly doubt that “desktop PCs” will still be a thing in 7 decades.
the desktop/laptop will most likely get replaced by something else
and if modern PCs have some roadblocks for installing any OS you want (SecureBoot, and soon Microsoft Pluton), then imagine how much harder it will be on the next iteration of personal devices.
Well, “will be”. Already is. On phones. Most phones require serious wizardry or make it basically impossible to install other OS on them.
And as far as I see, phones will be the thing that takes place of PCs.

so yes, I would not mind if the FOSS community abandons the whole Year Of The Linux Desktop™ meme right now and instead starts to focus on ensuring that the upcoming platform will allow us to have the freedom. Let Microsoft enjoy the dominance on PC. Maybe challenge them every now and then. But the primary focus of FOSS community should be the preemptive liberation of the platform that will follow PC.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
