i want to go back to when “Linux drama” was torvalds calling someone a tosspot for submitting bad code

or just, like, buy a second hand phone

pixels are pretty easy to find second hand and you can just unlock the bootloader and slap lineage on them

as if most products don’t list country of origin already anyways…

why do people think things can’t change from what they were when they were created? there’s 0 reason whatsoever that should have any relevance today.

The EU is what ever EU members want it to be, it’s that simple. And i for one want canada to join the EU.

i’d extend that to “who the fuck imports potatoes”, it’s the one crop that grows effortlessly basically anywhere

australia and israel are in eurovision song contest, so anything’s possible.

both of these are just chromium reskins

focused is not a good word for it but i do think it’s fair to say that not actively milking you for data is caring about privacy these days.

You kinda want to only use simpleX for secret communications, things you don’t want anyone unauthorized to know about. It’s not really made for the use-cases that discord is and it’s good to keep a secrecy hygiene so you don’t accidentally send sensitive information to the wrong chat.

Meanwhile element (matrix) is specifically targeted at the same use-cases as discord and has good enough end-to-end encryption for general family chats and such, things you’d very much prefer not just being out there in the open but also no one is ever going to bother hacking into.

It’s like norway, the only way in which they’re not part of the EU is that they don’t get to vote and they have a handful of exceptions to highly specific things, e.g. norway REALLY doesn’t want to let anyone else tell them how to fish.
