Great episode!! Really love Manaria and using her arc to conclude this season is great!

Wow! Good for the Germans!

What I don’t understand is why governments don’t try to fund open source software.

Cyber is increasingly becoming an attack vector on key infrastructure and it would be so helpful to have a group of developers to be at government disposal while understanding what software is being run on.

I understand that China and a few other countries use Linux but this is not enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_adopters

Honestly any nation not named the United States should move to FOSS if they care about security. Imagine the keys to all important infrastructure being held by foreign companies.

This is what happens when the show is written by a woman.

And given the novel’s sympathetic depiction of homosexuality, you have a good idea where she stands on the issue as well.

The world of Lycoris Recoil is basically Tokyo with high school girl assassin? I guess I will be fine as long as I don’t get caught up in a gun fight.

Thank god we have people working tirelessly to prevent Google’s greed

This is a must watch this season !!

A lot of us pay for privacy focused email because we don’t want Google or MS steal our data

EU comes to the rescue! Again!

Japan is very bad in terms of copyrighted stuff. If that person lives overseas this would never have happened.

Its a tradeoff.

I understand Qwant to not perfect but its better than DDG in non-English results and I need it for work.

At least its better than Google…

Qwant

Try it. It has pretty good results even outside the US and is much more private.

Ungoogled Chromium is a great choice. I just hope it can auto update itself. 😅

Also I once encountered an anti-virus programme miscategorize Ungoogled Chromium as malware. It can be annoying for those uninitiated.

1. Say no to chromium. Use Firefox and its forks. Even Safari (webkit) maybe a better choice to support a healthy web environment.

2. Say no to crypto. I hope I don’t need to explain this one. If you have to use Chromium browsers for whatever reasons, use Vivaldi.

Enshittification is REALLY going strong, huh…

Can someone explain how this is enforceable??

Privacy and I no longer trust Google for anything long term.

wowah! First time I heard about this! Thank you!! LibreOffice for the win!

If there is no legal way to play a game due to the game being too old, require obscure hardware, not sold in your region, etc. In that case since the player had no way to give the developer money, might as well pirate it.

Morally lazy…Yeah No Does the author really live in a real world? There are many reasons why people use a messaging app. These include friends, families, communities. Just because you want to move to all FOSS doesn’t mean your friends will follow you.
