mikegerwitz: https://social.mikegerwitz.com/url/37790https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/bb20.jpg This is very disappointing to see. The screenshot shows "You're ready to go!", followed by "You can use 'Software' to install apps like these:". The apps they list, in left-right top-down order, are: VLC (free), Skype (non-free), Spotify (non-free), Slack (non-free), Discord (non-free), Corebird (free), Mailspring (free), GIMP (free), Minecraft (non-free), Android Studio (non-free), Ora (non-free), Notepad-Plus-Plus (free), Tusk (free), Brave (free), and IDEA Community (free). That is 8 free and _7 non-free_. Also in the screenshot on the left is an Amazon icon. We've known #Ubuntu to do these things for a while now, but I grow increasingly disappointed with each release. Ubuntu also encourages the use of proprietary software through "snaps", and advertises non-free software by default through their package repositories unless you explicitly check a box (at least in previous version) during installation to use only free repositories.

fuuko: Good evening #sdf and the wider #fediverse! Today I played more #dnd and we confronted some eelfolk and their leader! The guy who I explained way back when is back though, and he disagreed with a player so much that he wanted his character to kill the other player's character, lol. Other than that, the session went well! #OpenBSD is going well too, still can't believe how it makes everything just work compared to even #Ubuntu! Any advice for OpenBSD novices from the SDF/BSD community?

fuuko: Good afternoon #sdf and the wider #fediverse! I'm getting back into the swing of things finally! Altho it seems Mastodon doesn't like #Firefox ESR, so I might have to download and use Firefox 57! I've switched from #ubuntu to #debian, but debian doesn't seem to like my #printer. Well, it doesn't really matter as I can always print using my #phone. #OpenBSD is next on my #todo list. I've also got to start #phlogging every day again! Can't forget about #gopher. Anyways, it's good to see everyone!
