Flatkill is full of misinformation or no longer true information. There're many posts debunking most of their points [1]. Some parts were true a few years ago but aren't anymore. Edit: They removed many of their examples at some p

Many people care about Signal, and it is okay to dislike their decision. OP didn't demand from Signal to support SMS, but they expressed their emotions about the change. Signal is an awesome project but some of their decisions annoy ma

I understand your point, but there're the independent home server implementations Conduit (Rust) and Construct (C++) so it's not exactly monopolizing. The Matrix spec will continue to be Apache 2.0 licensed.

That's usually because of the slow review process. F-Droid apps have to be built on F-Droid servers. Some projects like NewPipe have their own repository which has to be added manually. It's annoying but mostly not a problem.

If they installed a keyboard with the same app id (e.g. com.google.[...]) F-Droid would try to update it and ask the user to confirm the update since F-Droid can't update an app that was installed by another app store. I'd be curi

Thanks to Valve investing a ton into proton (wine, dxvk, vkd3d) copy protection are usually no longer an issue. The problem is kernel-level anti cheat like EAC, BattleEye, Vanguard and EA's AC. The first two work flawlessly (on Linux)

Apple has an interest in keeping their devices alive, since they can make money of the store and services. Android manufactures want you to throw the phone away and buy a new one. Since manufacturers didn't demand long support, Qualcom

GrapheneOS supports devices 1 year after they stop receiving updates by the OEM.[1] E.g. my Pixel 4a stopped receiving updates last month but will probably receive Android 14 updates until the next release. [1] https://grapheneos

Eufy by Anker lied about their products storing data locally and instead uploaded it to their servers — and had them unsecured so anyone could download anyones videos.

Audacity made some bad decisions but the forks never got anywhere. That said, this particular issue was blown out of proportion, so the forks going nowhere isn't an issue.

It's possible to replace batteries. They are the only real wear part in a phone, so there's no reason a phone wouldn't work for many years if they're replaced every 2-3 years.

GrapheneOS receives OS updates for another year. It's pretty simple to flash with a web-based installer. If it feels too slow, try disabling "Secure app spawning". It's a security improvement over Google's Android b

Agreed. Any compliant USB-C cable supports all the features lightning does, aka. power and USB 2.0 data. It also supports HDMI but that's used with an adapter anyway, so it's not a consideration if it works for a user.

Iirc Apple iOS includes more features than Android in the core OS. Google Services still receive updates and only things like the UI and system settings stay the same. Most people I know don't care at all about updates. But I agree, it
