Back in the days that was awesome. I had some kind of shitty Hotmail like German mail provider. 100MB storage, lots of ads. Google pushed into the right direction, almost unlimited storage, at first no ads. This was a huge step forward for email back then. Anyways I ditched Gmail and most of their services years ago, paying for mailbox.org for years, never looked back.
With all the DMA stuff going around I hope the EU take some real steps to Linux and FOSS in general. I mean come on, I can be root by design and fuckup my system if I want to - this is real freedom, gentlemen 🇪🇺
Afaik there are already kiosk display Linux distros.
I am in conflict about that move. But Macron at least tries to irritate Putin with his own definition of a „red line“, like „if you push to Odessa or Kyiv we will send troops“ maybe this is just the way of talking to Putin now, Russia always threaten Europe of nuclear strikes, their propaganda shitty tv shows is full of bombing Great Britain and sink the whole island, bombing or conquering Berlin again blah blah. They won’t because they can’t because of NATO and even without the US, Russia is not capable to conquer whole Europe, yet. So I think it is a good move in terms of threatening Putin with nato troops in Ukraine, because this is the only language he understands. On the other hand France is kinda safe when it comes to a conventional war, at least for a long time. Of course Germany is scared because it is not that far away, it is literally just Poland between Germany and russia and the German military is by far not able to fight a war against a well trained army with endless human resources.
To me systemd is fine, I am not really emotional at init systems. But on the other hand Linux is about choice and systemd kills that in some way because it does so much more than just starting services. GNOME is unusable without systemd, which makes it a no choice if you go into another rabbit hole. It’s kinda weird how deeply systemd is integrated in Linux these days. What I really dislike is that the log is in binary format by default which makes it necessary to deal with another tool to read logs. But well software changes, so do tools. But honestly the devs acted like dick heads sometimes, so I think most of the antipathy comes from their behavior and well yes MS now kinda pushing systemd because poettering works for them. I have fear that MS forces the systemd devs to implement things you cannot simply opt out of because it is so tightly integrated. Maybe copilot for writing systemd unit files would be nice though :P
At least the Arch Wiki gives me a hint where to look at. Even for enterprise stuff sometimes.
Seeing that those surveys exist does not really motivate me to ever visit the US besides the big cities. I literally have most of these in 15 to 30 minutes by foot or public transport. Wow.
Yeah that’s why I said „let the users decide“. Honestly most iPhone users do not have a single clue what PWAs are nor uses them or maybe by accident. I like them to use them like a bookmark and it doesn’t force me to use a bloated shitty app like Twitter/x.
Can’t agree on Spanish people here. Even the younger ones refuses or just really suck at speaking English. I talked to elderly people in Portugal in English and was not a problem. The younger people in Portugal are at least at a basic level. I am learning Spanish at the moment and I would say both languages share a lot of words. So knowing English helps me a lot understanding Spanish words.
Apple acts like a little kid who got robbed for its lollipop. They COULD still allow webapps with safari as backend for example or just let users decide if they want to use PWAs with whatever browser engine. Really ridiculous. I live in the eu and use voyager from the AppStore but this is really getting nuts from apple side.
I discovered wezterm a few weeks ago and it is really neat, works even on windows. So I can share config files between my private and my work machine. It is kinda similar to alacritty but I don’t like how the developers of alacritty talk to people on GitHub, like they are really arrogant.
I had the same need and didn’t want to read tooo much about ffmpeg and its options. I ended up using fastflix which uses ffmpeg under the hood with built in presets. Supports queues and lots of more stuff.
RedHat CoreOS derives from Fedora which is the underlying OS of OpenShift - so this is really interesting because it is not like in the old days „this is a problem for future me when RHEL 15 drops in 10 years“. They are quite pushing hard with CoreOS, at least in OKD which uses Fedora CoreOS.
Firefox fork with compiler optimizations and patches from Librewolf, Waterfox, and GNU IceCat. - GitHub - Alex313031/Mercury: Firefox fork with compiler optimizations and patches from Librewolf, Wa...
I was looking for a non-chromium alternative browser to Firefox and found mercury. According to this site it is one of the fastest Firefox forks and also has optimizations from other well known forks like librewolf.
