Myotis :fediverse:

I have a chromebook that converts to tablet for drawing purposes. I rarely use it and I want to degoogle it. Is this possible for a NOT TECHY PERSON to do it EASILY AND SIMPLY because no I dont want to fight linux for it to read my wifi card or be able to send stuff to print. Must be able to run internet, libre office, and a good drawing program (no idea options for this). The OS must allow a good tablet mode as the screen works with my fancy drawing pens and is very precise, and this functionality is the most imperative to not lose.

This report about #Wacom graphics tablets is disturbing for a couple of reasons.

1. They are surveilling users of their #tablet - a human-interface device analogous to a mouse or trackball - recording every application you open, or when you switch between windows of different applications. They are collecting this data via a trip through Google Analytics, aka Spyware Central. There is no possible way to justify collection of this particular data; it is none of their damn business how long you have your drawing program focused before switching to your browser and back again. The author notes their privacy policy really doesn't describe this collection of data correctly, so there really can't be informed consent in the first place.

2. Why on earth is it possible in #Apple #OSX / #MacOS for a USB human interface device driver to capture this information in the first place? Apple shares a big slice of the blame here - this should just simply not be possible for the driver to collect in the first place. Having such a driver allowed to place outgoing HTTP requests is also a big "WTF are they thinking?" moment.

I got a ding on my Samsung tablet. They’re trying to install OneUI 7.0 despite my turning off all updates.

I’ve read about this update. It’s burdened with heaps of AI stuff and privacy-destroying gumph and I don’t want it.

Does anyone know how to yeet this stuff? Or maybe another OS entirely which still allows use of the S-Pen?

Got to ask: What do you think is a better overall choice for a general purpose tablet form factor device: one that runs a mobile OS (and therefore is probably well familiar with the interface and hardware its working with), or one that runs a full, actual OS like Linux/Win (and therefore is far more flexible and customizable)?

Na fali szybkiego postępu technologicznego doszliśmy do ściany, zderzenie może okazać się bardzo bolesne dla nas wszystkich.
Jestem pokoleniem które miało pierwsze komórki typu "cegła", wszystkie #nokia z klawiaturą, zielony wyświetlacz, i gra #wąż, dziś #tablet w ręku dziecka nikogo nie dziwi.
Za drzwiami czai się #SztucznaInteligancja , która potrafi wszystko, od malarstwa, do muzyki, pisanie książek.
Pytanie: Po co nam będą #wernisaże, #festiwale , czy #wieczorpoetycki , skoro idealne za nas zrobi ta #AI, ?
Gdzie pokazać talent, skoro w zderzeniu z idealnym oprogramowaniem człowiek i tak jest na przegranej pozycji?

:chick_artist: If you're an artist that draws on a tablet, and that tablet isn't an ipad or wacom, what do you draw on?

I've had my ipad and apple pencil for almost 6 years now, and it works fine, but eventually, it will stop getting security updates and/or will break, and I will need to get something else. What do you use to draw? I don't want to buy more apple products, so I'm looking for something android or linux based with a good stylus (or even just a tablet you recommend and a stylus you recommend for that tablet).

I prefer to draw on the screen directly, so I'm not interested in a drawing pad that doesn't have a screen. It'd be great if the drawing pad didn't require a computer, but it's ok if it requires a phone. :boost_ok:

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill also #BlackBerry's #PlayBook #Tablet was released as a accessory screen for their Phones, which gave it "#WiiU-Effect" in terms of marketing.

  • Plus #RIM relying hard on business clients and their proprietary applianced mail systems and having big carriers upsell to business people made them look outdated & quite literally out of touch once #iPhone went mainstream.

I mean, the hardware was never their problem and #SMS-Typists swear by their #BlackberryCurve's #keyboard but BlackBerry's #toolchain - just like #SymbianOS's - was just hideous to the point that devs like @fuchsiii didn't even want to try making #Apps for those devices.

  • Unlike #Mozilla fucking up #FirefoxOS by refusing to sell devices to #developers, by the time RIM & #Nokia came from their high horses, their market shares had been squeezed into mere "rounding errors" by #iOS and #Android as it was way cheaper and easier to get #Apps developed, tested, sold, bought and use them than on their devices.

#Sony even released some #Symbian #S60 devices but since they didn't have the same signing keys, one couldn't even #sideload apps (not to mention they didn't had the #OviStore on those either!)...
