PINNED: Classic Blog Posts - Misc Thread (lemm.ee)

07/31/2023 It's been a couple weeks since FMHY went down and I'm going through link aggregator withdraw. Sounds like they're going to try to get everything restored but since it's going to be on a different domain even assuming they do so the original community will be gone anyway with everyone unsubscribed. Re-creating it here.

Find an issue or otherwise want to discuss the community itself? Want to share a meme? Please do so here instead that way the community feed can stick to blog posts only. Thanks

I wanted to read RTF files on my phone. I couldn't find an RTF reader on F-Droid. So I cross-compiled unrtf with Zig

Why I dislike Windows 365 (www.mecca1.net)

A post where I go over why I'm not a fan of the planned OS Windows 365 (an all cloud version of Windows), and why I'm not a fan of the existing push towards everything in the cloud, which I compare to each other.

It's a new blog so feedback would be much appreciated, either on my writing style, any missed grammatical errors, or the website design/layout (I'm new to Hugo but luckily themes do the heavy lifting).

Thanks 😀

Richard Stallman was right since the very beginning. Every warning, every prophecy realised. And, worst of all, he had the solution since the start. The problem is not Richard Stallman or the Free Software Foundation. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen.

So, there you were, trotting through the Interweb Forest, feeling pretty good about yourself. You’ve got your Veil of Privacy draped fashionably over your shoulder, and you’ve just left the Temple of [REDACTED] feeling invisible. Oh, the sweet taste of online anonymity!

You’re ready to joust any shady DNS dragons or phishing sirens that dare cross your path. You’re like a knight in shining armor, except your armor is crafted from complicated algorithms and digital code. But then, bam! You bump into a Tracker Cookie, and let’s just say, this cookie doesn’t crumble. Turns out, this little biscuit isn’t fooled by your flashy Veil of Privacy. Tough luck, mate. Who knew browsing incognito could feel so…
