Here, a person added GPL as a proposed alternative.

Too bad so few projects use the torrenting / DHT technology. Though I guess for GrapheneOS it makes less sense than for a lot of other projects, considering that it’s an OS update, and that mobile devices are battery-sensitive.

I somehow couldn’t bear the “self-scratch self-praise” top part of the post, but starting with
"But the balance is crucial" it was really interesting to read! Contrary to my initial fears, it’s not a self-praise post, but actually useful and talks about problems too.

Try this setting, I think it may be relevant to your case:

Android -> open Signal (or Molly) -> Settings -> Privacy -> Phone number -> Choose who can see your phone n…

Pretty biased and low-quality article TBH.

1. They’re talking about this news from GOG, yet they don’t even link the official announcement. Only their own old news. Meh.

2. What GOG really introduced is a way to financially support GOG, for various small perks. Yet the article somehow infers that GOG is doing bad financially, without providing any links to that conclusion.

3. The view is quite capitalistic to be honest. Everything is looked at from the prism of money. Money this, money that. “Epic Games … burn money … decline … purchases …” (Yes, the news is for GOG but they’re discussing Epic Games.)

Anyway, GOG remains not an ideal place, but by far the best for-profit game distribution company I think. I have 10-20 games from that store, and I’m quite happy that my games are from there and not other platforms. All DRM-free.

rachel: mike that’s a horrible way of telling people we’re married

TL&DR: Rust is officially adopted, and thus no longer experimental.

It’s actually a mistake done in a hurry, according to a comment by the author of the post below.

Or bubblewrap. Though that requires more effort than “a bit of time” to do comprehensive isilation…

I think I see the point you’re trying to make. I’m not sure if my question is purely aspirational, though. When you say “political realities of Australia” for example, shouldn’t the word “political” already imply that this is heavily influenced by people’s thoughts and resolve? I think Australians should evaluate that, not me who is in Europe or you since you refer to Australia as “they”.

Maybe, and? Do you believe it can change and/or has the right to change?

The conference’s page does not try to pretend that it’s all shiny and perfect right now. Quoting:

Hosting this summit in a major coal port, in the world’s fifth-largest coal producer, sends a powerful message: fossil-fuel-dependent nations want to end their dependence on oil, gas, and coal extraction, but doing so fairly requires unprecedented international cooperation so that no one is left behind.

The original claim was about tracking (“escape the big tech tracking”), so here AWS and Cloudflare are definitely relevant. The content, including input, also flows through them I think? It’s specifically unencrypted if I get it right.

Thanks for your comment. I’m still only learning how legislation in the EU works. However, so far I haven’t been able to confirm what you’re saying. Could you help if you know? (I assume not only me, but possibly other readers, too)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_the_European_Union

Here it doesn’t say (almost) anything about “trade”. Admittedly I’ve only read 2-3 pages and then used Ctrl+F to search on the rest of the page though… Is it a de-facto split between the legislative powers of the Council and the Parliament? Where to read about it?

I get that you are feeling slint is not GPL, but I do not understand where that feeling comes from.

I think it’s because the for-profit nature of the company may not create an actual community of FOSS enthusiasts around it. So if something were to happen to the business side of Slint-the-company, there would not be a strong community with known leaders and vision to save the situation. It’s not like this is guaranteed for FOSS projects, but it’s much more likely there. Single-person FOSS projects are scary to me for this reason as well.

That is the biggest factor for me. (There are other important factors, too.)

there is little doubt that EU chat control will be implemented

Personally, I believe there’s a chance for stopping this. EU is not an authoritarian state. I wouldn’t give up too early – instead would rather fight and provide public pressure for the direction of the law that supports mine and everybody’s freedom.

A much better and desired solution is to stop this law from ever happening by societal pressure, in my personal opinion. I wasn’t born in the EU, but I live here many years now. I choose to believe that EU isn’t fully corrupted, and that many good and meaningful changes are still happening.

Depends on your use, just check what your system uses right now. Realistically, your habits on your new system will be somewhat alike to your habits on your old system.

If you fit in 512 Gb SSD before, you may fit still. If you needed 1Tb before, you probably will need it still.

Unless you want to do local LLM inference or run many virtual containers / operating systems, you don’t need too much memory.

If Europe doesn’t fight back strong enough, Chat Control will be one such thing. All your messages being scanned by a “black box” system. Hopes are on the European Parliament and societal pressure to cancel this now. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/reality-check-eu-council-chat-control-vote-is-not-a-retreat-but-a-green-light-for-indiscriminate-mass-surveillance-and-the-end-of-right-to-communicate-anonymously/
