I also am a fan of dwm.

The wonderful thing about open source projects is just use the code and move on.

One can modify it as they please if needed, but if the code has no crappy political baggage then so be it.

Can they make their no shows permanent from now on?

100% And it shouldn't be too hard. I'm pretty sure it was largely leftists against draconian surveillance that started in the 2000s.

for sure. necessity breeds invention. sometimes i just want enshittification to takes its course so foss adoption grows more.

That's great. Love this sand boxing.

Thank you kind friar

So if I have two profiles, one with and one without play services and the profile with play services is not active, there's no active pinging and telemetry going on?

I think I'm nice. I care, look out for others, and try to be considerate.

It is cute that they think they can regulate the use of math and how the internet can be used.

lol

I agree, and I love it. Sure there are some iffy aspects of it that may give trouble, but for the most part a lot of those problems I've experienced can easily be solved by a quick search or are "would be nice but i'm sure it will work soon" features, and I can't even think of any recent examples with the latter. So I'm left with a great learning experience to how my computer works, another win.

Linux has also taught me to make good references. You get a very different experience to your computer than with a regular windows machine that 'works'.

I like to point out how I can update installed apps with a simple command (e.g., sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade).

No bloat, no ads, open source and the communities are just amazing and helpful.

What's there not to like?

I don't think I could ever use windows again, and it makes me proud.
