I think this means allowing the listing of third party app stores inside the Google Play Store - so you could search for F-Droid in Google Play for example instead of downloading and installing the .apk manually.

@Ilandar you’re right, I didn’t think about this. However I might add that there are still programs that do not function well even under Wine. For example, the latest version of Office is always problematic to set up.

No thanks, I prefer to use NI (Natural Intelligence) to summarize them myself.

@Ilandar this is a good solution . Another would be to just not jump ship head first, but rather replace everything wth FOSS alternatives instead if they’re not available on Linux (e.g.: replace MS Office with LibreOffice, Photoshop with GIMP or something else, etc.) and use them for a while. Most of the programs should also be available for Windows, and if not you could also use WSL to run them.

Once you get used to these programs, the actual Linux transition should be easier.

@Onii-Chan

Didn’t they do that before with the Windows 10 timeline, which they later axed it off?

@funn Online content is, sadly, more vulnerable than we think. All it takes is one server to go down, and the entire website/thing goes bust.

search results will become secondary as they push their service

Oh, so they’re gonna emphasize less on search results and more onto their half-arsed services that they’re axing from time to time? This is so Google of them.

@perishthethought thank you!

@perishthethought I see. So the feeds from the OPML file are imported into the reader’s own database, right?

@Riven Yea, it also needs the software. Here in Romania, every phone I’ve owned had an FM Radio app preinstalled, including the current one. Didn’t try any jackless phone to see if it’s there as well, and if yes, how does it work.

@Riven Probably phones without headphone jacks are those that can no longer be used as regular FM radios - as the antenna was actually the headset (at least that’s my experience) - and another reason why phones without the jack suck. Never had a phone with a built-in FM antenna FWIW.

But yea, I do get your point. Phones could do so much more than accessing Facebook, Instagram and posting photos there or something like that.

How can I see if my phone has an IR Blaster? 😁

Yea 😁 There are plenty of other FOSS games that are also in the Steam Store as well, like OpenTTD, Battle for Wesnoth or Red Eclipse

Desktop mode so far. Didn’t try it directly yet.

0AD I guess

@shortwavesurfer And they need taxes to authorize that. Makes perfect sense.

@shortwavesurfer Even when those taxes are going into the healthcare system?

@shortwavesurfer That depends on which country you fill your taxes in.
