The Brussels and German bureaucracy just love suspecting their whole population of either being terrorists or child molesters…

gnome terminal and console have hardware acceleration and have had it for a while AFAIK

It’s so jover. Not even “reputable” news outlets know what correlation is anymore 💀

Every IT-literate person fights kernel-lvl malware disguising as games with everything they got.

Since Linux has a high percentage of those, I hope those “solutions” will never spread

“Turning”?! “into”?!

ig neither the glowies, nor Snowden, nor Manning exist

Postgres slowing factor

I’m pretty sure one of the best optimised free/libre DBMS’s is faster than Python 💀

EDIT: skimmed it wrongly, see corrections below

Also no one knows how Piefed scales, since it only has like 350 MAU

Looking forward to when these are actually affordable, like in a few decades.

Assuming they haven’t gone bankrupt by then ((:

Glad to be of help! I personally really like Syncthing, since it makes implementing a resilient decentralised backup strategy quite easy.

Though I would recommend you go with “Syncthing-Fork”, as iirc the “vanilla” app was put into maintenance mode or smth like that

Well, if you didn’t know, Molly is a soft fork of the Signal Android client.

But, I think both support making local backups of your chats.
I do so daily and keep two copies. These get synced in real time to my little NAS and/or my PC/Laptop

Glad to see they are establishing useful streams of revenue

I, however, will continue using Molly in combination with Syncthing

Go on the official Taler Website, they have all the info there iirc

Doesn’t seem like it, but users who don’t know how to toggle a setting should be kept faaaar away from sideloading

Atomic distros by Universal Blue build proprietary codecs into their images

Maybe Aurora by Universal Blue?

It’s based off of Fedora Silverblue, so it’s atomic, rock solid and basically guaranteed to work (more secure by design as well). But uses KDE Plasma instead of Gnome and has a bunch of improvements here and there, including proprietary codecs and Nvidia drivers preinstalled (latter depending on the image you choose)

The partial unannounced update broke my installation, which is why I finally ditched Nobara for Bluefin

I’ve been using it without major caveats since October last year. Even tried the proprietary swiping library you can install (it uses the Gboard one iirc, but OFC it can’t do shenanigans since it’s isolated by the app and not connected to the internet)

Doesn’t seem like anyone mentioned it yet, so I’m gonna chime in: Bluefin-DX by Universalblue might be worth a look.

It’s a special developer version of their already interesting and rock solid atomic distro, meaning it’s not rly meant that you do much with the OS part of the filesystem (I’d recommend you read up on it, since I can’t explain it that well) It has VSCode preinstalled (you can replace it with VSCodium tho with a simple command IIRC) and allows you to spin up virtually endless Linux environments where you install your additional programmes that aren’t available as a Flatpak (you can still use them in the CLI, DW)

Running a community-centred nonprofit is inherently more efficient resources-wise than paying managers and execs piles upon piles of cash in a for-profit scheme

What else? “Ignorant and inexperienced consoomers” doesn’t sound very nice…
