    I am not against JavaScript. I sometimes use JavaScript and I don't see the wrongs in that. What I am concerned is why so many websites use 3rd party JavaScript. This is disgusting because you sell your visitors out. Besides you can't control the content of 3rd party scripts and most of them sell your data and spy on you.

    The thing that annoys me so much is why every damn website has to depend on gOoGle scripts to function. E.g : most of website depend on googleapis or ajax.googleapis. why don't you just stop hotlinking everything to 3rd party shits. This is basically spread Google's domination on web. Remember, those 3rd party libraries are not Free. They take visitors data and make you dependent on their services. So Google has become the gatekeeper of many websites.

    I have a website and I coded everything by hands. No 3rd party JavaScript and other 3rd party BS. It makes my website run so damn fast

    Nope xmpp is still going strong. I've been using xmpp over whtsapp for a while and I like it so much. You can even make a voice and video call. The best thingis it is federated just like fediverse

    Matrix is bloated, eating VPS resources and it's tied to Israeli Intel. Xmpp is better than bloated matrix. Besides I don't trust matrix very much. Most of users use main matrix instance and don't bother to spread the servers to avoid centralization

    I agree 100% with you. Whatscrapp is just a proprietary user subjugating version of XMPP. I prefer to communicate using xmpp protocol because it's federated like fediverse. You can use conversation for android

    If android were GPL 3 the users would be protected from "tivoization" aka locked hardware. Too bad Google don't want that happen

    Trisquel GNU / Linux. The kernel is 100% libre so you can do your computing in freedom.

    The era of cheap streaming is officially over

    With streaming services you have to pay and you don't own it, with torrents you only have to pay for internet fee and you'll own it forever.

  • Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why?
  • skycat skycat 1y ago 55%

    As a free software supporter, I don't use properietary software. Sure there are some inconveniences but I won't trade my freedom for all proprietary software in the world.

    "Sure, Chromiums code is available and you can modify and redistribute it. But if you want to send your changes to the main project so that more people may benefit from it, it is ultimately Google’s decision. This is the problem with projects that are not community-run."

    Google is asshole. This shows than NOT all open source codes are free as in freedom. Stallman is right.
