AFAIK. All major clients for XMPP is open source and gratis.

Two good options for Android is Conversations and Snikket. Both are available on F-Droid and Google Play Store. Conversations on GPS is a donationware version though.

On iOS you have Snikket and Monal.

On the desktop you have Gajim. I think it’s available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS.

You also need an account. Conversations offers accounts for free over at https://account.conversations.im/. There’s probably a lot more services as well.

Software piracy is the very reason that Microsoft got all the market share and had the power to ruin it for Linux.

Either pay for the software, use free alternatives or write your own software.

Add the command to your configuration for sudo/doas so you don’t have to enter a password for it when executed as your user.

It’s users like this who gives Linux users a bad reputation.

When shit like this happens it’s your responsibility to call these shitheads out.

Please use some less shit source than that website.

There’s always pyinfra.

However. The easiest solution is probably a custom shell script that checks which OS it is and does different things based on that. It doesn’t have to pretty as long as it works for you.

Edit: Why do you keep reinstalling your operating system?

Devuan if you want something solid and boring. Gentoo if you feel adventures and want something that’s fun and solid!

You’re the proof that it’s true.

Sorry. :D

He did not use the term “social warrior”.

The quotation marks indicates a distance from the expression. They’re clearly used to show that Linus considers the term someone else’s label and something he doesn’t endorses.

While I also disagree with how he have behaved and his opinions, I think it’s important to not make up alternative versions of what he has said or not said.

I was being sarcastic. ;) The first letter in those word are barley visible.

I wonder what these things do? 🫣

Microsoft and other cloud services are known for loosing users data. No joke.

The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

They get paid when we buy the game? 🤔

The first Mac I used was actually a Macintosh with a black and white screen. I don’t remember the exact model. We also had iMac G3 in school and later modern iMacs at work. My wife is also a Mac owner and has worked with them.

I’m no way an Apple expert in any way, shape or form. However. I do know enough about them to know that they’re ridiculously locked down to the point that you can barley call yourself an owner of your own system.

With that said. Apple computers are popular, so it’s apparently a winning concept for some, but it’s not something for me.

Then GNOME seems to be a perfect fit. ;)

Oh! Well. Yes. X11 does not handle different DPIs at the same time very well.

Linux based operating systems is great! However. GNOME? Can you even change the wallpaper there? :D

Not locked down at all? I’d be surprised if you can even change the wallpaper. :D
