I really don’t like apple but their satellite map is very fancy. Just so detailed.

Will use organic maps though.

Exactly. People who use windows don’t use it because they want to undermine the USA’s democracy but because thats just what they’ve always been doing and they’re not questioning their habits.

They’re blindly supporting Israel for historical reasons, not because they support genocide.

RTX3060, no issues for me after installing the driver

My Linux system uses about 1 GB idle and yet I’m glad to have 16 GB - not because I wouldn’t mostly be fine with 8, but because it just keeps more doors open. Can run more demanding programs, more programs simultaneously, can host something in the background, …

The OS itself is more efficient than Windows, yes. But that’s not a hard task, and it’s less efficient than many Linux distros. No matter how efficient you are, 8 GB non-expandable RAM is not enough nowadays.

You can see how much of an impact this has - in my (rich European) country only 30% use apple devices and everyone uses WhatsApp for communication (also not good but far better than imessage, and there’s a slow shift towards signal happening)

Don’t tempt me into distro-hopping again ;)

Oh wow, thanks! How do they sustain the hosting costs? Donations?

Was it dead? If it was: Yes. Last update 15d ago (on the F-Droid version).

Firefox sync works on all Firefox forks (I’m using LibreWolf on Linux and Fennec on Android for example)

Totally sounds like a waste of computing power and therefore battery life, but the concept of fascinating

Oh wow, sounds impressive, thanks

What had a 3d effect? Selfies?

What’s dynamic perspective?

The reasons why China can produce so much cheaper than Germany are because Germany pays fair wages, has to get enough taxes to pay for free healthcare and the welfare system, provides free access to education (including universities), has very high environmental standards, …

You may be calling a social democracy “soul-crushing capitalist system”. I call it home (not Germany specifically but also a social democracy), freedom for everyone to follow their dreams (you can be completely poor and still study whatever you want (with a side job if subsidies aren’t high enough) to get the job you want).

When I need medical help I go to the hospital (or even call an ambulance if it’s urgent), get treated, and leave without having to pay anything. For university I’m paying 27€ (~30$) per semester. On the streets you barely see homeless people because there are places where they can go to find food, shelter and advice. Etc.

Paying 50% of my income (only like 30% when not earning that much) in taxes is well worth it. Sure, private insurance might be better for me personally. But it brings me joy to be able to support this system, all those happy people are well worth the slight extra cost.

Not regulating China when they did the same with photovoltaic cells is what destroyed the German photovoltaic industry, which before that was leading.
