A reminder that Radio Free Anything is literally CIA propaganda.

I would support them coming back in the Union

Same, as long as there are exactly zero exceptions for them this time. And they must adopt the Euro from day one.

Not all of us use older PC’s. I really don’t care what other people use but I like being on the latest version of whatever software I’m using

I stopped reading about here. I can already tell the rest is a “me, me, me!” ramble about how the world should appeal to you and you only.

Just don’t use Zorin, you’re not their target market.

Kind regards.

Why are you guys so obsessed with the latest packages? A lot of new stuff doesn’t work on older PCs which is also Linux’s target market.

I don’t know the details, but I hope they will at least remove the VPN and crypto wallet integrations from the default installed version.

You still have to double check for mistakes. But even that takes less time than writing a 3-4 sentences semi-formal email from scratch.

In any case, your emails aren’t safe either, mate. Even if you don’t use AI, the person on the other side most likely will and your emails will be scanned just the same. Nobody is safe. Which is why this Thunderbird feature doesn’t excite me in the least.

We probably never sent as many emails as we do today, and there are bigger priorities. Wanna blame someone, blame the overly pompous corporate world.

the entire world.

Good to see this topic come up. Been using Linux mint for about a month and I can say i don’t miss windows at all.

Also consider Tuxedo computers, linux focused and HQ’d in Germany.

I mean, have you seen how effective Tik Toks one is?

I had this talk with someone I barely know about Trump.

She said he must know he’s never gonna be remembered as an exceptional president, so instead he is trying to just be remembered, doesn’t matter if for good or bad.

I think that makes so much sense.

I mean, I disagree, but thanks. Good dialogue.

No, we were neutral.

Did you just read “Data minimization” and assume it means that data collection should be minimized at all times?

There’s a reason why when you fill the GDPR consent popup all advertising companies have the “legitimate interest” on by default, because it falls under the “data that is necessary for their specified purposes”, which in their case means the purpose of displaying relevant ads and paying the app developer some money for it. And even then, you’re allowed to turn that legitimate interest OFF.

I’m the one who’s not sure if you’re trolling or just a shill. How many rubles are they paying you?

Dude, I use a lot of FOSS software including Linux as a daily driver. I know what you are talking about. But we’re in BuyFromEU, so you shouldn’t be surprised my opinions reflect that.

Personally, between supporting a Organic Maps and Here WeGo I prefer the option that will make Europe richer. Especially now that the fascists overseas have decided Europe should be up for grabs by Russia and we need to up our defense.

You can LARP “outside of capitalism” all you want but there’s still a reality here that needs to be addressed.

Yeah, why help an EU company develop their free product, away from Google, when we can all just stay poor? Are they stupid?

And some people still complain that US tech companies keep getting petty fines in Europe.

We’re the only ones trying to enforce even an anemic degree of antitrust, since the US just allows them to do whatever.

People are just stupid.

Source: am Portuguese. The veneration for Elongated Muskrat that exists here is insane. Please take me out of here.

I agree with you thoroughly.

I did, but what you said is incorrect.

Not giving away your data isn’t encouraged and I challenge you to point out where in the law does that say. It would be stupid to even include such a passage because it would be a blatant attack on the advertising industry and the EU is a neoliberal pro-capitalist institution that wants businesses to operate inside the bloc.

And I say it again, this is a niche community, but a lot of people like targeted advertising.

I know, because I hate advertising and I preach to everyone around me that they should just reject all tracking and some have told me “but I want to see relevant ads. If I have to see ads they might as well be relevant to me.” which is a totally fair point.
