I like their stuff, but I'll admit that a ton of it sounds the same. On the other hand, people almost always complain when bands go "experimental", so I consider it a somewhat good thing actually

Well, I did preconfigure Endeavour a bit, but still, it runs just fine :D Being on KDE is a huge help, Windows users feel pretty much right at home.

I threw my brother and my dad into EndeavourOS and Garuda respectively. So far, they are swimming. My brother even does almost all his gaming on Linux.

(Well OK, apart from my dad generally yelling at everything tech. I guess that's where I got it from.)

Israel does want the land, but they can't "just take it". The humanitarian crisis and the many civilian casualties they have caused, or are at the very least willing to accept, are seriously damaging their relations with the rest of the world. They have to make this go away, one way or another, otherwise they will be isolated at some point, and they really can't afford to reach it.

If they were to occupy Gaza and expell all Palestinians now, you'd have hundreds of thousands of refugees. No one wants to take in that many people, so it would cause significant tension with everyone around them and play into the hands of their enemies. If they don't drive them off but suppress them (or worse...), the problem continues, so that's not really a good option either. Giving up on some land, that isn't theirs to begin with, is a small price to pay to (maybe) make their problem go away. At the same time, they will likely even keep a bunch of land they already occupy.

As for Saudi Arabia: They want influence. And this would give them a whole lot of it, even if they only kinda solve this conflict.

Please don't start that shit again. I got a headache already

If we vomitted almost pure sugar, it would be much less appalling as well

I mean, no surprise there. All-out war with Russia is probably on few people's bucket lists...

Can't reproduce.

No, seriously, please date me 🥺

I think you're forgetting where Linux was the most successful by far: Servers and Android. Server guys do what they want, if you tell them they can only use software you allow them to, they will laugh at you and buy their data center elsewhere. Android has had locked bootloaders forever (I actually think even my very first phone had one).

So maybe development would have been harder? I mean, we don't have looked bootloaders on desktop even today, not really locked at least, so it's hard to tell. Linux's main audience would not have cared I think.

It's 2000 series, so they are supported by the new OSS driver, no?

Isn't that mostly a problem in the big, international ports / port cities? I mean, you can have empty prisons everywhere and still mot enough police and customs there

I have a facemask with active coal in it. Still feels weird to look in the mirror with it, but posting that to Twitter without context is sure to give you some interaction.

Seriously tho, some people try so hard to feel offended, it's embarrassing.

I don't really get the argument of Microsoft being cemented. I mean, firstly they are pretty much everywhere, so I can't see how it's getting worse. Secondly, the German state partly uses Linux, even outside of servers, which is already more than I expected. You can't expect a state to "just switch" to anything. We are talking hundreds of thousands of users and computers here...

Isn't there also some EU cloud thing going on?

Their new, open driver only supports 2000+ series, so I guess that also applies here.

Recaptcha is one of the worst providers of such services. At times, I need to complete like 10 for being one square off or whatever, while I need a single attempt for e.g. Arkose Labs stuff.

Sometimes, like in the picture (whether it's real or not), the captcha is simply wrong and you can't do it right but by accident. I already did not visit websites because I didn't feel like giving it another try.

Random guess: Tiktok might actually generate revenue

Ich würde nicht sagen, dass er unnötig ist. Meine leihenhafte Auslegung des Rechts wäre, dass bei bei einer versuchten Machtergreifung (von Verfassungsfeinden, was mit einer Machtergreifung aber eh gegeben ist), aber auch ab dem Punkt, wo die Gewaltenteilung deutlich untergraben wird, gewaltsam dagegen vorgegangen werden darf.

Damit hast du dann nach erfolgreichem Widerstand einen Weg, straffrei davon zu kommen, solange du darlegen kannst, dass deine Gewalt zielgerichtet und verhältnismäßig war. Das widerum würde stark vom Einzelfall abhängen, aber ich sag mal so: Den muss nach einem Bürgerkrieg erstmal jemand nachvollziehen können (und wollen).

Also bei uns gab es nach dem Bewerbungsprozess genau ein Konto und ein Passwort 🤔

...Was impliziert, dass wenn Mozilla mal Scheiße baut, exakt das selbe für Firefox und Gecko gelten würde.

Aber ich bin nicht überzeugt. Es gibt viele sehr große OSS Projekte. Wenn der Bedarf entsteht, werden sich sicherlich auch genug Leute dafür finden, eine einigermaßen funktionale Fork von Chromium weiter zu führen.

Zumal man ja mindestens eine solide Basis hat und bestenfalls auch noch von Chromium pullen oder porten kann.
