Same here in México, a lot of people think their dual core Intel from 2011 (and even older than that) is still worth more than +$100USD. Even worse, companies usually want to resell devices to recover some of the cost, so even that option is kind of expensive. I'm waiting for some friends that can buy company devices for cheap so they can resell them to me for cheap too lol

I mean, Carlos Slim is not from the USA, so most news were in spanish:

Most of the Mexican government uses Twitter almost exclusively and most media only have access to their news via their websites (no RSS/Atom). There's no clear way to fight this as there are no clear laws about access to publicly funded content 😐

So in events like this, most people have to rely on conversations and the governemnt presence because you can't find information easily.

I ended up liking it a lot. I don't know why or how, but it (as Flatpak) uses less RAM and CPU than native (RPM) Firefox, so I've been enjoying testing it as daily driver for basic navigation. I still use Firefox as my main browser, but Zen works fine, has good proposals and is still improving and hearing the community. Well done and well deserved

It was. Fossify is now a suite, forked from the "Simple Mobile Tools" apps suite, after it was sold to ZipoApps. You can check the discussion thread here:

Sadly true. When I installed texlive-base it tried to install like 300 recommended packages, I almost accepted D:

I'd still recommend it, I don't know if you can change the default for recommended packages because aside from that, I actually love it.

I found a small command to run KDE Spectacle (screenshot software) with Tesseract so I can OCR a screenshot if I want to, I only had to install Tesseract and a main language, you could easily do the same with an API and/or a local AI.

It has become so bad for results in Spanish too, that I am now self-hosting SearXNG even though I'm the only one using it in my family lol

If you do or know someone that will do, please take into consideration that the housing market in México, right now, has been favoring foreigners and that in some areas, they've displaced the locals and raised prices so much that they can't afford to be there anymore (be for shopping, working, etc.). Please don't contribute to this and research before, do not try to pay in euros/dollars, come legally and work legally.

I agree with you in certain points, but there are others that are just wrong. Seem like you didn't even check what you wrote. Also, you compare it constantly with Chrome, but then in the comments you talk about other Chromium-based browsers that have even less market share, which is it?

I won't deny that you're right in some points, but please fact check what you just wrote before complaining.

I've been looking into continuing or updating old programs that don't have maintainers in the FSF/GNU list, but the mailing lists and archaic webpages don't help much.

I'm still learning, but I'm tired of not seeing enough good FOSS alternatives or only discontinued ones.

I don't know if muPDF Viewer is, technically, free software, but i use it for the completely minimal UI. You can only read and search, it's very limited in a good way.
