I've used GIMP to create all of my memes. It's just fine, even if the UI can be unintuitive.

It lacks features compared to Photoshop, which is a reference to the fact that 2 developers maintain the core features of it.

Fair point.

Please don't let this community get flooded with this low quality garbage.

I 100% agree. Stock android experience is garbage even compared miui.

What is the "general sentiment" tho? Sure, on Lemmy and Reddit communities I usually see people hate Snaps, but that's just a few thousands of people. Another metric of success could be developers maintaining their software as snaps. You will find that quite a lot of them do so.

If you go to snapcraft.io, you can see snap being installed on many other distributions other than Ubuntu. It will not show you the exact numbers, but people willingly install it on their machines. I think that's successful.

Will there be a linux version?

It can be sad to realize that perfect privacy and security can't be achieved, but on the other hand, what you can't change are things such as Intel ME, proprietary blobs in android or the linux kernel. It still pisses me off, but unless the FBI specifically targets me, there's no reason to worry about this, and so I don't. I instead focus on minimizing data collection, and being in control of my software, which is doable.

Why should this even matter? Every android has a proprietary parts of code that need to be included even in custom roms. In case of ios devices, the entire OS is proprietary. I would much rather use a Chinese android phone with an unlocked bootloader than an american iphone.

Yeesh, imagine getting this mad because of a post about a messenger. I hate explaining memes because it ruins them, but I guess I have no choice.

When most people hear about Threema, they believe that 5€ is way too much to pay for a messenger. Some realize that 5€ is not that bad, but without a continuous stream of money, a service like this will cease to exist once it runs out of money, so it's better to avoid it. And if they read the entire website, and discover that the company is actually providing messaging solutions used by a lot of companies who pay them monthly, for each of their employees, it becomes clear where the money is coming from, and that the company won't go bankrupt anytime soon.

That's the meme. If you don't like it, I understand. But you can fuck right off with calling everything that mentions a name of an app/service as an ad. I made memes in the past mentioning open source chat apps, and nobody ever called it an ad.

Why do you insist that anything mentioning an app/service you don't know is an ad?

This is an ad for microsoft, then.

I'm a crypto bro, and not even I use it. Good thing nobody forces us to do so.

I literally thought about this while eating spaghetti. And then I proceeded to contact Brave and we signed a deal where they agreed to send me thousands of dollars to make this ad, I mean a meme, and only post it on a single lemmy community.

From my experience, Brave worked better on mobile than Firefox, so I stick to it. On PC I'm however using Firefox + uBlock.

As a fellow Ubuntu user, I think there are distros that are technically superior. But at some point I just got tired of chasing the best option. I just want an operating system that works on all devices I install it to, and that listens to my commands. Ubuntu does that just fine. I love what they've done with GNOME, its ram usage is minimal (1.4GB), apps launch fast, snap is nicer to use than flatpak (which I can install with a single command), and if I wanted to I can stick to an LTS for up to 12 years.

My record is around 5.

Manufacturers install Windows as the default OS. And it's safe to assume that a modern gaming PC would have W11 pre-installed.
