    Obviously the FOSS community has a heavy left wing bias. I personally haven’t heard anything about Proton or Ladybird being controversial outside of Lemmy and Reddit. Clearly It’s not just about transphobia and sexism (which I think is an overreaction). A lot of people in the FOSS community left Proton just because of one positive tweet about Trump (from an Asian immigrant living in Switzerland). I think it’s really unhealthy for the FOSS community to jump ship the second a platform doesn’t share their political opinions.









  • The problem is that everything is so reliant on apps nowadays. Paying for parking? There are multiple apps for that. Want to make payments on the go? Gotta use the banking app. Want to buy a bus or a train ticket? Download the app. Appointment with a dentist or a doctor? Download our app that has 500 built in trackers! Here in Scandinavia It feels impossible to live without a smartphone and these stupid apps. At least make a web app so that I don’t have to download spyware. I would love a linux phone, but if it isn’t compatible with these apps I might as well just get a Google Pixel running GrapheneOS.
