Can google just disappear from the face of the Earth…
@xianc78 @lanodan I think before that everyone will have to quit using Goolag stuff first.
Because if you kill every single Freemason on the face of the earth without getting everyone on Linux or BSD, and the rest of the FOSS stuff first, nothing will change to be honest.
All you'll get is going from a proprietary 666 mark of the beast soystem to a free software 666 mark of the beast soystem.
@ryo @xianc78 Note: Linux and BSD don't prevent you from being stuck with Google crap.
@lanodan @xianc78 I know.
And this is exactly what always bothered me back when I was still at the PINE64 forums.
People would buy a PinePhone to get as far away from Goolag and Fakebook as possible, and as soon as they unboxed the phone and configured it, they reach out to the forums and ask how to install WhatsApp, GayMail, JewTube, and Goolag Drive on it.
Just why the fuck did you get a PinePhone then?
@ryo @xianc78 Those are just idiots.

I mean more like how several software projects, even ones not made by google just copy over stuff from google monorepos (aka bundling of dependencies to screw with distros), here is some examples:
- WebKit (and probably also firefox) uses ANGLE for WebGL, has no releases, can't be easily packaged as a system library, often a source of breakages
- NodeJS, wasm-c-api, wabt, … uses chromium *internal* JS engine (V8), which can't be easily packaged as a system library
- Firedfox uses "LibWebRTC", which is yet another thing internal to chromium, which also of course comes with a copy of Google's own fork of OpenSSL (BoringSSL) and probably other "fun" things like this.
@lanodan @xianc78 NodeJS, Electron, WASM, and so on is simply a matter of not developing in it and not using anything made with it.
With the only exception of MyMonero, I have literally nothing on my ThinkPads that uses Electron.
And on my desktop I have Bisq, but that's because it's literally the only way to get fiat into crypto (I don't care about crypto to fiat at all) without the KYC bullshit.
@lanodan @xianc78 I will perhaps give Feather wallet a try, which isn't Electron (same kind of wallet as the official wallets for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and Pirate Chain).
@xianc78 @lanodan I tried for multiple other wallets, and didn't like the fact it didn't show my balance and stuff correctly.

Maybe a TUI app made in ncurses (or perhaps termbox as that's apparently what Suckless recommends now over ncurses) would eventually be the best in between spot.
