I don’t think Stockholm actually has any fighter jets… so naturally it’s easy for them to promise!

Just have to remember which repos are “managed” and which are not. Installing stuff from PyPi or NPM might actually require you to read through quite a lot of code before installing. I don’t think most people are that diligent.

Yeah. I guess that depends on your use case, but I do quite a lot “sewage plumbing” (malware analysis) so it’s nice to have that extra layer just in case I fuck up.

I’ve been using ESET for a long time, but I don’t actually know what it costs, I get licenses from my company. Might not be suitable price range for home use.

Yes of course. It’s like basic hygiene, washing your hands after visiting the restroom.

In words of Dan Geer from his 2014 Black Hat keynote:

Today the relevant legal concept is “product liability” and the
fundamental formula is “If you make money selling something, then
you better do it well, or you will be held responsible for the
trouble it causes.” For better or poorer, the only two products
not covered by product liability today are religion and software,
and software should not escape for much longer.

The EU legislation has good intentions. Software should not escape product liability. However, the current proposal is somewhat flawed (unless EU actually intends to finance security testing for FOSS projects!) and it needs some language to protect open-source innovation and distributed development models.

I’m hoping the EU will allow a model where FOSS developers can receive donations/charge for support without having to risk huge penalties.

Holy fuck this site made me fear the future.

As usual LLM generated text looks like Mighty Fine Sentences, but there is no meaning behind them, it just produces good looking Language. The content is just pretty looking regurgitation of someone elses sentences. It doesn’t matter what way the sources are leaning, the LLM doesn’t actually understand the undercurrent of the meaning and does no analysis nor verification on any claim, it just presents everything as a pretty looking facts because “it heard it on the Internet”.

Having sites like Fox News as a source? Why? They’re not the journalistic “other side” - they’re just a fucking clown car. You might as well include TV-evangelists as a source then, because their words “come from God”. All your sources are right, far-right or “off the fucking scale right”.

That was the worst possible way to start my morning.
The best way to move forward with this would be to shut down the webserver and unregister the domain. Hope this helps.

fair enough

It’s 1,67 €/month, but sure, each to their own.

I’ve been using Inoreader for a good while now. It’s everything I wanted Google Reader to become.
Web based, runs everywhere, there’s a mobile app - supports keyboard shortcuts etc.

Does have free (ad supported) and subscription based models.

My top 5 would be:

World of Warcraft (easily over 10k hours, been playing since release)
EVE Online
Crusader Kings
Stellaris
Blood Bowl

the shitpost level in this is glorious, but… maybe someone should start linuxmemes community for these no-content posts?

Debian. I’ve been running it on my “daily driver” personal desktop/laptop since -97 (Debian 1.3).
Changing now would be major undertaking with no apparent upside, so I won’t.

Vanilla GNOME without extensions is very challenging to use IMHO. It lacks serious Quality of Life features (well, it doesn’t lack them, they’ve been purposefully removed).

It’s so frustratingly close to being excellent, clean desktop - but then it takes some really strange decisions with basic usability (like panel, taskbar, windows without controls etc).

Luckily those are easy to fix with couple of extensions.

If everyone is a Nazi, Naziism must not be so bad.

I don’t know how you’d make that leap. Nazism is bad. Hence the people I called nazis are bad.

moderate but right leaning people.

There’s no such thing. lol.

Yeah, I don’t know what’s wrong with “fucking nazi dimwits”

Downloaded Slackware at univ lab and split it on endless amount of floppy disks.
This was probably in …-93 or 94? … or thereabouts. I was in my early 20s.
Went home and had to come back 3 times, because one floppy was always corrupted.

Then I tried to compile kernel for 24 hours and it just kept failing. . struggled with it for a week or so and got it running - then formatted the disc and started over. Ah good times.

Started using Linux “for real” after Debian 1.3 was released in -97 (I think?). Haven’t really stopped using it.

a lot more difficult in every aspect

Perfect summary of systemd

Mechabellum.
Very easy to pick up auto-battler. Short matches, but quite a lot of tactical depth.

Fantastic, but it’s gonna end because of a lack of resources. And by indulging into this technology now you are making sure that you won’t have a pension

Eh. I understand you want to turn back the clock to pre-industrial revolution, but unfortunately the laws of physics don’t allow time-travel to the past. We are here because we’ve arrived here.

Wanting to change the society to a more sustainable future is commendable, and we all should think about our environmental footprints, but I very much doubt “removing access to the Internet” is part of that. I think this thread is a good one, reminding people we don’t need new phones every year. But saving the planet? There are larger issues at hand. Like CO2 emissions from Chinese industry and the global manufacturing supply-chain that leans heavily on those emissions.

I went to Sweden and it was ridiculously difficult to use money. Completely ridiculous. I was waving a bank note and no one wanted to take it. I had no battery in my phone and I couldn’t purchase a train ticket, no internet means no ticket, ri-di-cu-lous.

Yes, as I said above, we’re a cashless society. It’s hard to pay with cash anywhere or interact with banks/government without Internet. Cards work, and many people use contactless payments on their phones, because it’s convenient to have everything in one place. We also have digital ID’s that work in phones. Hence the need for phones and the Internet.

Also Stockholm can do without individual cars. I saw it, I was there. Many countries will tell you that cars are mandatory, they are not.

Yes, I’m 50+ and I’ve raised two kids not owned a car in 20 years. You can bicycle everywhere in the city and we have functioning public transport. I’d like it to be tax funded so using it would be free, but we’re not there yet. I’m all in for car-free cities. But that’s well off-topic for this thread.

Having a phone, access to Internet - these things are essential. Changing your phone like underwear is not. EU is doing a lot of good with mandating common chargers, right to repair and replaceable batteries so let’s continue on that path and demand better phones with renewable materials.
