Fresh off the news that Google search is a monopoly, they are now using their iOS browser to add links to Google Search on any website visited.

Why the US forced sale of Google's Chrome faces legal hurdles
  • Google does not yet have to sell chrome. Many titles of articles are misleading.

    I don't like google owning chrome but if they'd force google to sell it and not apple or microsoft to sell theirs, I'd be against it. It would only harm google and deter competition

    How to convince my uni / dept. to switch to Mastodon?
  • Why not start with an account? You do not need to run a server to be int the fediverse. It's enough for now if they've got a or multiple accounts and actively use it. Share the latest papers via that account. Provide news. Link to articles etc. That's good enough for the beginning.

  • Migrating from Nextcloud AIO to Owncloud Infinite Scale: Good Idea?
  • Nextcloud Docker compose https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud/

    I don't do much maintenance on my nextcloud image either. I spend a lot of time setting it up on bare metal because I didn't know docker compose existed but it's very popular nowadays. With docker compose you don't have to setup a lot either. It didn't break for me once in the past years.

    What's wrong with nextcloud's S3 object storage?

  • What distro do you use and why?
  • Appimages do. Flatpaks have runtimes. There may be multiple runtimes but space is cheap. You can even spare the amount of space on a phone.

    I once thought I should compress my images because they had 10mb each. I was wrong. I just had to put them on my server with immich and I don't care about the space anymore. One 4k video is so big, all space related problems with apps or images are a real waste of time.

  • Lemmy Likes FOSS Maps
  • Doesn't Apple maps use osm anymore? There was a time they pulled osm data and used it in their map. That's one big disadvantage of the osm license. Anyone even crapple can use the data.

  • A Linux Desktop for the family
  • I use fedora atomic and I maintain nothing.

    I use my computer once every week and I don't have to care about anything. Fedora does everything.

    If you take care of the systems of your kids or family, that's up to you. You choose to do that.

  • Recommend me a LaTeX/TeX live equivalent app for Android
  • Just in case you are not aware of typst, there's a modern version of latex called typst. It may not yet have all features but if you can live with >90%, I'd switch immediately

    Edit: termux can run typst

    did user engagement drop significantly in programming forums?

    There was a lot of engagement in the communities I participate up until a couple of years ago. People were interested and actively discussing a lot of topics. There were a lot of newbies asking questions and people proposing different ways for tasks.

    Is it just me or did it reduce a lot? LLMs? Company forums? Other forums I did not move to (e.g. discord)? Reduced interest? Or is it just subjective?

    experience/ opinion on wakib? (vim/emacs)

    What do you think of wakib? https://github.com/darkstego/wakib-keys

    It's like emacs keybindings but keep today's default/ standard keybindings and adds other layers to it.

    In the past months, I tried over and over to use emacs or vim. I dislike having to switch between the "modern" way and vim or emacs inside the editor. With wakib all common shortcut are the same and it adds shortcuts for movements.

    I did not yet spend too much time with it but I really like that it simply extends on what I use anyway.

    which VPS do you recommend?

    I want to selfhost my own personal website. This is just for fun, as a hobby and to show off my skills to others. nothing big.

    I have my own server home but I want to have something that's separate from my personal stuff.

    I do not need any support, meaning it can be as cheap as possible. I do not yet know how much RAM or CPU or storage I need. I guess CPU > 2GHz and 2GB RAM should be enough to start.

    daily/weekly backup with rsync in case the hoster goes out of business.

    I do not need a domain, I will use a dynamic dns hoster.

    parquet vs csv

    What's your take on parquet?

    I'm still reading into it. Why is it closely related to apache? Does inly apache push it? Meaning, if apache drops it, there'd be no interest from others to push it further?

    It's published under apache hadoop license. It is a permissive license. Is there a drawback to the license?

    Do you use it? When?

    I assume for sharing small data, csv is sufficient. Also, I assume csv is more accessible than parquet.

    I got a new job. whatsapp group (20 people) is migrating to signal because I don't use it.

    I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn't even say anything.

    A: what's your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don't have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

    And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

    I'm using a pixel 6 with gapheneos currently. I'm looking for a phone that is fast enough to use osmand without the 5 second lag when it has to render all details. Any advice?

    where to find/ share / work on free / open music

    I'm diving into the concept of open/ free music. I love and live foss IT stuff and would like to move to open music as well.

    Is there some notable movement? Apps? Servers like peertube but for music? How to contribute? How to follow artists/ support artists

    There's a section in the free music wikipedia article which I'm currently browsing. What's your experience? How do you live with free music?

    I'm not interested in using it for video production but as an end user who's part of the foss movement.

    • free music https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_music
    • open music https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_music

    linux as business/ company pc?

    I am going to ask if I may use linux for work. We are using windows but there is nothing that couldn't be done on linux. Privately, I am mainly a fedora user but I'd be happy with any OS and DE or wm. What do I need to look out for when I suggest an OS? What does a computer/ linux/DE need in order to be ready for enterprise workstation? Will I only have a user and no sudo rights? May I install all flatpak apps? Does the admin have to be able to remote ssh?

    where to buy linux stickers in europe?

    Where can I buy linux stickers?

    Probably, I'd like to get some red hat stickers. Tux is too sweet and fedora is just white and blue. A red hat is more striking.
