Yes, but also, if people like wearing pijamas or sportswear, don’t judge them for that. Just let people wear what they are comfy in.

The city of Munich did it in 2004. Only reversed it after Microsoft decided to build their new Germany hq in the city.

I get the second part, but I think the first part is just an US thing. While I feel that we are still terribly repressed over here, something being sexual (especially when it’s just a double entendre) doesn’t always and immediately make it unprofessional in Germany, which I feel applies more so in other parts of Europe.

Why is a sexual term automatically offensive?

I use Graphene, if you can, you should also use a custom rom.

On stock Android, Google has System privileges. If they want to do anything, they don’t need to install an app visible to the user. Whatever this is, it probably has some kind of purpose. The problem isn’t the app, but running an OS that the manufacturer has full control over.

That’s conjecture. And I feel like that there are certain things that, when flagged, should be sent back up the pole. Not cause it’s part of the teams job explicitly, but because it should be common sense.

That was about their German language newsletter though. They have separate, localised newsletters for several markets, which I’d assume are manually translated. Also, as a native German speaker, I really don’t think it’s all that different than other European language regions regarding sensitivities.

Looks like a Clevo Chassis. They’re actually not that uncommon, a lot of smaller ‘laptop manufacturers’ offer them with slight customisation.

I have little love for Canonical, but I wouldn’t go that far. What makes an OS ‘the Windows’ of something is in my eyes the heaps of useless surveillance, which ubuntu lacks.

I’ve been using opensuse tumbleweed for quite some time on my systems, and been pretty happy with it, in case you need an endorsement.

All of those, including Counter Strike, are preying on addiction and should either be illegal or at least regulated

Less powerful than current gen consoles, though.

Websites I use regularly:

• sites I write or maintain myself
• federated social media
• my bank (they have my ID already)
• code forges maintained by others
• a Swiss e-commerce platform, alibaba, local electronics retailers
• YouTube

I suppose such measures might affect retail sites and YouTube, but I can get the stuff I need locally, and being off YouTube, I’ll certainly have the time for it.

I think you might have misread my comment. I was saying the feature only just gets to the same performance, while using it means having to deal with Windows.

If you mean the incompatibility of some anticheat titles - I think kernel level anticheat is an unmeritted level of system access, so I wouldn’t use them either way.

limitations of linux

I’d look at it the other way around - why go to a platform that has marginally worse performance, while also making you deal with the limitations of Windows.

I mean, you can have a look at recent merged PRs. With proprietary engines, you just don’t know.

I’ll be interested to see their implementation, though it likely won’t replace matrix for me.

It is, and that makes it much better than Discord, but currently they’re mostly building another monolith on the central instance. Self-hosting doesn’t mean much if the communities are all on there.

I’ll wait for federation, hope it comes soon. Till then, I see more potential in Matrix.

In my eyes, the only sensible way of building such a platform at scale is having it be federated. Otherwise you can host a server - and if you’re unlucky, might need accounts on five servers to access all the groups you want.

If their federation implementation comes relatively prompt and is workable, that’s great. If not, it feels like a way to bootstrap a centralised alternative to discord. Pre-enshitification discord, but it’d again be up to a single entity whether it stays that way.

I don’t mind paying for hosting, but I don’t want to jump from one centralised platform to the next.

They are selling a subscription. It isn’t really a donation if you pay a set price for services.

I’d also hold out to see their federation implementation before considering them as viable as matrix.

They do seem better than stoat, though.

Didn’t Vivaldi? I don’t really use them cause I mostly avoid non-FOSS software, but I seem to remember them announcing they’d be keeping support.
