I’m not worried about e-ink price tags. Aldi has them. I’m worry if it says, use your phone to find special offers only for you.

Obviously. It was a nice small PR to fix a typo and a pronoun in a readme file. This is the kind of change where you just press Accept, Merge, and go on with your life.
Which instances federate with threads? Is there a list?
So what is needed to a reply?
If I follow the replies’ author, I will get it. Right?
If someone in my instance follows the author, will I also see it?
If someone boosts the reply?
Can you clarify this? As a normal user with one of the standard clients, who is on one random instance and follows people on other instances, we are missing Likes and Boost? I can live this, it’s just a number. But, are we also missing replies? I don’t expect OP to retoot all replies, but I do want to read them? At least i want the option the read them.
Without iMessage, right?
Most specialized software are web apps running in a browser hosted on the cloud these days. I’m sure they exist, but I couldn’t name any HR, ERM, CRM, … software that’s not a web app.
The desktop OS is becoming irrelevant. That’s why those who want a Mac or Linux notebook can make it work, at least from a purely technical point of view; i.e. if the company allows it. That’s also, why there will never be a year of the Linux desktop. (I mention Macs here, because while OS X gets some commercial software that you won’t get on Linux, it’s not that much outside of some niches)
There will never be a year of the Linux desktop because you gain very little from replacing Edge on Windows with Firefox on Linux (a different software that does the same thing). However, you loose some specialised software and your IT supplier, your IT service provider, half of your IT staff and some of your non-IT employees’ skills. This does not sound like a good business case.
Linux on the desktop never happened, because Linux on the server replaced desktop applications.
I don’t know if it is fair to call it a disaster. I don’t know enough from the inside, but I believe in retrospect the goal was maybe to ambitious or plain wrong.
They were attempting to port huge amounts of decades old Office macros to OpenOffice. That failed, but before the LiMux project they had already failed to migrate the same to a modern version of MS Office.
The goal for LiMux was to be a better Windows than the best Windows Microsoft would offer at the time. Literally impossible.
That combined with strong lobbying and users confused with a different UI and probably a lot of small day-to-day issues (which happens with any software, but can make an IT department look bad) made it politically hard to sustain an ‘experiment’.
The current IT lead of Munich, hired after migrating back to Microsoft, does not seem to be a Microsoft fan.
Just to commenting to keep the knowledge: There are other projects that can de-drm audible. Amazon probably knows this and tolerates it. In fact, a long time ago all downloads on Linux did not have DRM. Those days are gone, but this https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli should work.
As soon as you have ‘activation bytes’ many tools can play and convert the downloads.
Agree for self-hosted apps. However I’m also looking for a service like that one by ente.io. Here it’s more important that they continue to operate. Sure, with open-source you can self-host or find someone else, but this only works if the service is popular. Less popular open source apps disappaer when the developer gives up. The code would still available, but no one will keep it up-to-date.
I’m looking a for photo-storage option for the long-run.
Open-source is not a must, but nice. E2E encryption is not a must, but nice.
I just want to place to store, edit(?), categorize, search, share my photos. And I don’t want to the place to be Google, Apple, or Microsoft. So, this does look interesting.
However, I also want to low-maintenance, low-cost, stable long-term solution. I value convenience.
What options should I consider?
It was a paid service and it still is a paid service. However, now that they open-sourced the server, you can self-host.
Yes, it’s done by the package and when you configure it to, which in practice is right now.
Actually, that’s one of the things Ubuntu got right with Snap (hate is as much as you want). They install the new version in the background without interrupting your flow. The next time, you close Firefox and choose to open it again…tada… it’s the new version.
Sounds cool. I’m not a Harry Potter fan and certainly no fan of Rowling, but I’m really surprised that this is controversal.
How do you explain the Fediverse? You can find an instance you like. Harry Potter people can have theirs.
This requires an old version of Authy Desktop. I’m on Linux and i cannot find this old version anywhere. They use snap.
Dell, the company known for their onsite sales.
Sure, if they had a website or something, they could work remotely, but someone needs to be present when customers flock in.
