A lot of people are moving away from Big Tech. Many more would like to do so, but they do not know that it is really easy to do so and that there are good options.

You do, given that you are here. Maybe time to help your friends?

Some good options, that I use myself :

OS : Linux.
Browser : Vivaldi.
Mail client : Vivaldi.
Calendar client : Vivaldi.
Mail Service : Proton, FastMail.
Social : Mastodon & Fediverse in general.
Office package : Libre Office.
Video conference : Whereby.

Feel free to suggest more options and share with your friends!

ZOMG PATCH TUESDAY! As today's post explains, it's not just Microsoft increasing the volume (and pacing) of patch releases lately as a result of code audits reportedly from Anthropic's much-hyped Glasswing AI offering. Other software giants are getting in on the act now!

@macrumors I want a new feature that lets me delete text messages without them randomly undeleting themselves less than twenty-four hours later on random devices. That would be a killer feature! #Apple

@macrumors In the U. S. the only weather source I need and use is the NOAA NWS website. There's no reason to pay for an app that requires payment, or God forbid a subscription, for free weather and climate data and forecasts. I've yet to see an app worth its price (with the exception of Wx, which uses NOAA NWS data). #Apple

@macrumors Software subscriptions are already being abused by developers and this will be abused too. Ban software subscriptions. #Apple

@verge 🤞I can’t express how hopeful I am for this to be the first step away from the era of “services.” Cook made it lucrative, but it’s abandon the original #apple difference of being user centered. So much has been lost / unrealized to extract every possible dollar from all parts of the ecosystem.

Someone at #Apple sat at their keyboard and wrote this error message for #Xcode.

Maybe replacing devs with an AI tool is a step forward in some cases.

I’m not even starting to talk about the fact that the alert looks like it is disabled/in the background but is not.

Another reason to hate #Apple We're seeing more 2018+ MacBook Pro/Air donations — but Apple's T2 chip means even after iCloud sign-out and reset, the firmware stays locked to the original account.

Without donor contact, these machines are useless. :(

I've upcycled ~1,000 older Macs, but T2 era machines will end that. It's controlling, creates e-waste, and will only get worse. #righttorepair matters — Apple couldn't care less.
