Capitalists making use of and profiting from socialist programs and structure is a tale as old as capitalism.
Pharma as an example. Crowdsourced research, government funding with money from the people only to be bought by a capitalist corpo where they do the last 10% of the work by industrialization, jack up the price by 1000x, and take 100% of the profits and don’t even pay back their fair share in taxes, and then get a state-sponsered monopoly for an outrageous period.
Coming soon, they will unveil the Huawei xxMatexx XTX Pro X design.
Depends. If someone is gaming with new hardware, don’t use a distro that doesn’t update the kernel quickly and regularly.
Almost every problem with hardware on mint is solved by going through the process of updating the kernel or switching to a distro with up to date libraries.
It’s fine for a lot of people, but it doesn’t “just work” outside of the use case of only browsing the internet and word documents.
This is coming from someone who used mint for 4 years. There was about a dozen times where the software on the software center was so out of date that it simply didn’t work and I had to resort often to using random ppa’s which often broke other things. Definitely not user friendly.
That being said, Cinnamon is probably one of the most user friendly DEs for people switching from window. It is very nice.
Opensuse Kalpa KDE Wayland the internet access blocked and it is a terrorist org if you want a hug 😅 sorry it has been very busy
Dutch doesn’t autocomplete sentences, just spellcheck
True, but the UI reflects that they still use source forge lol. Still the best open source camera.
I live in Belgium. I think I count on 2 hands how many people I have seen with an iPhone, and I have a quite young workplace.
Surprising that apple is top. Literally every public place where you are where a phone rings or an alarm goes off, there is a 90% chance it is the default Samsung tone/alarm and almost everyone in the room immediately checks if it was theirs lol.
What are you talking about?
This is a completely separate company. The company you are looking for is HMD global which is a generic foxconn phone company which licensed the Nokia name.
Nokia makes high speed networking hardware like 5G stations and public infrastructure stuff. Completely unrelated which is why Samsung is looking at buying them: because it is a sector where Samsung isn’t dominant.
True, meanwhile my HP printer had a hell of a time trying to work on windows much less finding an actual downlosd for the scanner tool on HP’s websitr for a printer ovrr 5 years old and on Linux I typed yay HP, 1, then I was ready to print and scan.
Plus KDE discover is the convenience if the Microsoft store was actually good.
Settings are ACTUALLY in setting instead of being split between settings, control panel, individual tool auto diagnoses, powershell, and registry edits.
KDEconnect works seamlessly and I can also locate my phone if I lost it in the house.
And in all tiers: make an additional profit by selling your information without your consent (it has been decided in many courts that burying subtext deeply in forced terms of service isn’t consent)
We are already paying them by letting them harvest our data, ads or not.
Then they double or triple dip with the scenarios you describe. I am still paying them by being on their site with an ad blocker as they harvest my data and sell it to the highest bidder. Not to mention quadruple dipping with using our info and content without consent to train AI to sell.
They use the argument “your data/art/photos/videos are freely posted on the internet, so we can use them how we please”. If they publish content openly on the internet, then we are free to do with it as we please.
They can’t use the argument but say “no no no, it doesn’t apply to things WE put out”
They are either pirating our content and data constantly or ad-blocking is not pirating.
Nope. I type in SPAR and it gives me a bunch of random results 150km away.
I type in Grocery and it gives me SPAR 1.5km away.
I need to type in the exact address for it to find a place, with no errors. Otherwise I can type a category name and hope that it finds it and that I guessed right, that also works.
If you type in a partial name (I.e. not the full legal name including company abbreviations) of a store it will break itself and show you completely random unrelated results from a random place in the country.
I took a bunch of screenshots a while back as proof.
It is fundamentally broken, and it is widely reported IIRC, but I don’t know if there are any issues open about it.
They ripped off an open source app Breezy Weather and changed a couple of the card shapes lol
Also the search doesn’t work, so there is that…
Also using it in android auto is a pain and every action takes between 10x and 100x longer than on the phone.
But yeah it is pretty good and I try to contribute to it when I can. I don’t know how to contribute to bad instruction translations though. It just says “verlaat” on an exit in dutch which grammatically makes no sense.
What national ID is it? I hope it isn’t the Belgian ItsMe app because I want to try putting lineage on my xperia 5 ii since it has a flaky fingerprint scanner now (software problem it seems)
How many years of software support? Still only 2? Lowest in the business?
Opensuse!
Yast is one of the most fully featured package managers and tumbleweed is damn good and they lean fully into KDE.
I even run opensuse Kalpa (KDE immutable) and it is pretty rock solid outside of steam flatpak.
Google absolutely stole the design lol.
UI/UX is getting a serious overhaul also I guess
I have an orangepi zero 3 with pihole
Then an ITX PC with
mealie (meal planner, recipe parser, grocery list maker with a bunch of features and tools)
immich for self hosting a google photos alternative
*arr stack for torrenting Linux ISOs
Jellyfin for LAN media playing
home assistant for my VW car, our main hanging renovation lights, smoke and CO monitors, and in the future, all of the KNX smart systems in our house
Syncthing for syncing photo backup and music library with phone
Bookstack for a wiki, todos, journal, etc… (Because I didn’t want to install better services for journals when I don’t use it much)
paperless-ngx for documents
leantime for managing my personal projects, tasks, and timing
Valheim game server
Calibre-web for my eBook library backup
I had nextcloud but it completely broke on an update and I can’t even see the login fields anymore, it just loads forever until it takes down my network and server, so I ditched it since I never used it anyway
crowdsec for much better (preemptive) security than fail2ban
traefik for reverse proxy
And if it was an issue on github:
Closed: “couldn’t reproduce” 10 seconds after that last comment.
