devenv.sh contains invasive telemetry that literally exfiltrates your entire repo to their servers.

Go educate yourself. Unlike other countries where words seemingly have lost all their meaning, the EU has clear rules about what you are allowed to call free range. But, keep doing what you are doing. I am sure being insufferable and calling people names on the internet will convince a lot of people of your standpoint.

Tortured Individuals? The eggs pictured are free range.

I use and like posteo but their refusal to allow custom domain names, for in my opinion dubious reasons, should not go unmentioned.

HN is hosted by ycombinator, a VC, and represents only a tiny fraction of the IT industry. Its mainly the silicon valley startup side of things. So you can expect a motley crew of ai and crypto bros, musk fanboys and JavaScript prophets.

The articles and especially the comments there might lead you to belief that in software development there isn’t anything outside of Cloud-native Web Applications. For example, two of the most popular programming languages that are currently used are Java and C#. Yet you wont find much discussion about them on HN because it is presumably unfashionable to use these languages in a startup.

This extends to most topics from operating systems to open source programs. Largely hype based discussion around new and shiny things.

There is also a very strong libertarian bias on HN. Look at the comments of any article that relates to a EU regulation like the DMA, CRA or GDPR and you will see what I mean. Its mostly libertarian pearl clutching and not much actual discussion.

I just use Nextcloud News since I am already using Nextcloud. It works well and installs in just a few clicks.

For feeds I can only recommend to get rid of HN, its gives you a skewed perspective and is a huge waste of time. The only thing its good for is begging for support when Google deactivates your account.
