Finland has something similar: i can use my bank account to log in to places to see my medical info for example.

Happy birthday libera chat! I use matrix to connect there because im a heretic, but im glad i can do that.

This year just keeps getting more weird

Felt like sharing this since maybe someone else has struggled with similar thoughts.

Been using fediverse with mastodon for months now. People are often much nicer, there are actual discussions and trolls are easy to block. Can recommend.

I would never use google for my business. I would rather self host it, especially with a small team or solo.

Haha, perfect!

Nice! Dont you have a problem occasionally wanting to play some Doom on the side? :'D

Quaternion might be something you like: https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/quaternion

Its not much but here https://akselmo.dev

Isnt brave just chrome (blink) with different clothes and tons of cryposcam ads

Youre right. But then again i dont believe many would care if they can get their basic things done.

I also understand there are people who just are not willing to learn new things.

I hope i dont sound like im trying to push linux to people. I want people to have choice of many instead of choice of two when they go buy a new PC. And maybe some would be curious enough to try something new.

I agree with you there.

Been tinkering with Matrix homeservers and wanted to share my thoughts. Also there's an example for Nginx config if someone is stuck in a similar issue.

Yup! The moment you start installing proprietary software you start noticing it. I had the same experience. I thought it was obvious so i didnt mention it.

But most people, from what ive seen, only use the internet browser and maybe some built in apps. Keep it there and the lines between OS' start to blur.

Edit: to add, this is usually why i tell anyone interested to use linux is to try the tools available first, then if you get used to them, make the switch. Luckily i had already used same tools on windows (gimp, krita, blender) that also work on linux.

I tried it with my fiancee, although not with windows skin. Just default plasma. She opened internet browser and used it just fine.

Of course she cant move to linux due to adobe software, not that i need her to do anything like that. Anyone can use what they want, my point was that most people dont even know theres other choices than windows and mac.

Also ive been using windows all of my life, recently switched to kubuntu because i got tired of the updates. Didnt take me long to learn to use the pc.

What attitude am i conveying? I really dont know, english is not my first language.

I just dont think that most people just care what the thing is running as long as it does the job. Computers are an appliance to many, just like a toaster. If the functionality is close to what theyre used to (windows or mac) then there shouldnt be big adaptility problems until they want to go deeper into the device than web browsing.

For me it will always be associated with Quake, although my first foray to world of Quake was with Quake Live. Still play it sometimes.

If the machine had linux with windows skin on, most people wouldnt notice since everything is done through web browser nowadays

Cant say i have encountered this yet. But flatpak aims to solve this problem.

I think the problem is just that almost all prebuilt machines come with Windows and nobody ever gets exposed to alternatives. And most people just dont care.

Not sure what youre thinking of but older games have demos that are recorded games. Those would work well for testing nowadays too imo. Mostly performance testing but still.

Thanks! I have to say im not big fan of cloud gaming. It takes the files away from you and theres no way to preserve them when the game is removed from service. FOSS games in cloud though.. That could work since the files are already up somewhere.

And yes i have played that game, i had no idea it was open source!

Hi, I wrote this last month. I just wanted to see if anyone else here shares my opinion on the matter. I am not a super good writer but anyway.

First submission to HN, sorry if this doesn't fit in.

I love the flaming comic sans Directory header, lol

I mostly read tech news and im very picky with them too. Anything important i will hear from friends. Dont see the point clicking all the useless clickbait articles anyway.
