Trying, not releasing

The Dalai Lama references are from the Air Nomads, not Fire Nation

Most Americans are too dumb to realize the allegory in ATLA.

It’s cos they’re privately owned and so don’t necessarily have to be shit, where publicly owned companies are legally required to maximize profits for shareholders.

First time I’d ever seen him host such a show and I now understand why everybody loves him - he was excellent.

Being poor doesn’t stop people from voting though. In fact being broke because you’ve given everything to conmen who tell you it’s the other people’s fault may actually increase votership of those people.

1. Ubuntu wants to own snap, with their own proprietary store etc which runs against alternatives like Flatpak and goes against the FOS ethos

2. Snap is slower and worse than Flatpak (the most popular alternative) in most ways, with very few pros that will likely be caught-up-to soon too

UpNote is the best non-FOSS option

To be fair, Chrome was vastly superior to Firefox for ages in the early 2010’s

Matrix is more of a Discord alternative than a Whatsapp alternative though unless I’m mistaken?

Signal is a means for message encryption, and if every platform used it and then were mandated to interop, they’d have to figure out how to do the actual transfer, yes. RCS is basically this except nerfed and partially Google-owned which is shit.

Would be goated if everyone just switched to the Signal protocol and interop was mandated, but that’ll never happen unfortunately.

Microblogs like Mastodon are excellent for following specific people, and for getting an overview of the current zeitgeist. Forums like Lemmy are excellent for following specific topics. Both are useful in different ways.

Actually, Suicide Squad equal with Justice League.

Suicide Squad. No explanation needed.

Pros: Moderation quality, app ecosystem, no corporations or ads.

Cons: Small community, wayyy too much duplication of ‘subreddits’ on Lemmy across different servers (inherently not an issue on Mastodon).

Transmission is awesome because it’s simple. It only does what you need and has the best UI for doing so.

Apple uses the standard USB-PD standard for all existing wired USB-C charging, uses the QI standard for wireless, and directly contributed their magsafe technology to the next generation of the QI wireless standard, so there’s no reason to think they will make iPhone wireless charging proprietary.

Apples Notes because nothing else has the perfect amount of formatting, alongside exceptional sync.

Also Apple Mail for the same simplicity reason - Geary on Gnome is close-ish, but goes too far down the simple route. How does it not have a refresh button??

Also Logic Pro, mainly because there aren’t any fully FOSS alternatives that even attempt a full-featured DAW, let alone with Drummer etc.

I also ‘prefer’ Apple’s productivity suite over everything else, because it has by far the best UX, but I’m totally fine with LibreOffice too.
