Long time Google fan since 2001-2002.

Fuck Google. So evil these days

I’ve never used parallels, sorry

VMware fusion tech preview for Apple silicon

I’m late to the game, having tried debian for the first time a few weeks ago.

I’m running the aarch64 version (KDE) in a virtual machine on my Mac (M2) and it’s the only distro that, out of the box, hardware acceleration is working for video decode of web videos.

All other distro I’ve tried struggle to display YouTube videos.

Big thumbs up from me.

Cool?

E.g. Brave browser at one point in the not too distant past automatically added affiliate links to cryptocurrency URLs

Brave is a PoS. They are not looking out for you

Can’t blame the dev for selling out. I would for a windfall and retire.

But it’s time to move on. Wouldn’t touch Nova with a 1000 ft pole.

Yeah 100% agreed. I’m not mixing work on my personal device

Is the general consensus we don’t care that nova was sold to a 3rd party data harvesting company?

I can’t believe !android@lemmy.world shut down

Thank you for that! I was about to install it. Looks like I’m sticking with LibreOffice

Because I primarily use a laptop, Linux desktop is a no no for me. I spent years trying to get my trackpad to behave as beautifully as it does with MacOS and could never get it.

That alone is enough to drive me off Linux Desktop … For now.

I’m rooting for it though

Not OP but, I use libre office on the Linux machines at work.

Although I heard about OnlyOffice on Lemmy a few days ago… It looks interesting. I want to try it out!

The developer(s) could slip something nefarious in easily. We’re putting all our faith into developers that could be anybody

This doesn’t seem super safe from a security standpoint. Can anyone comment on safety?
