Hopefully they remembered to actually make backups this time, and not just listing them as possible lol

To be honest, I find this equally stupid (or not) as handshakes being legally binding.

I thought the article was interesting, but I didn’t really get the point of what OP said. :/

I told someone about uBlock as they were getting ads left and right, and I was told "oh no, I don't wanna install anything!"

So if it's not extremely frictionless, many people won't even try...

(I agree with your second point BTW)

There are already many! The problem is they lack polish, to varying degrees.

EDIT: Damn, Thunder wasn't showing me my comment!

In general, not talking directly to OP, it is important to read about the instance you're joining to make sure you're in the right place.

I would never use it, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea. On the other other hand, I think most people would be confused if they had to use multiple app stores with some apps being exclusive to one of them.

So, this mostly seems like a way to promote adware apps, like those silly casual games that all look the same.

The ligatures in Fira Code Nerd are my favorite feature.

They think having downstream distros that repackage their software without adding anything is useless, and they want more customers. I get it, but meh.

Also, it doesn’t help that they communicated it poorly making it sound worse than it actually is.

Not really answering your question, but FSF's criteria here are straight up insane to me. Apparently, just mentioning "open source" is unethical, as well as ever letting anyone write "Linux" instead of "GNU/Linux".

I’m glad you mentioned SimpleX. I think it’s a really cool and promising idea, yet hardly anyone knows about it :(
