No, they don’t. For example, Merz doesn’t give a fuck about the country, hires his unqualified buddies from the industry into his ministry positions, and thinks domestic abuse is not a crime.

No, of course gas and oil will, ask the ministry of the rich.

Nah, my village just had the bin

A full potato? Lol, when I was young I had nothing but a french fry, scavenged from a McDonald’s bin.

Great move in these times where RAM is cheap and widely available

I found this video helpful but it’s a few months old already:

Depending on your goals, you could try to find used components that are incompatible with windows 11 but still perhaps powerful enough as this guy explains:

But I’m level 3 genius!

Consider yourself lucky if you haven’t been there in the times before systemd. It streamlined a lot of things under the hood that were stupidly varied among distros, like where certain configurations were placed. Really, nobody needed that and it broke a lot. Systems also introduced some sanity through service dependency awareness, e.g., which service needs to be running before the next can be started. You might find that obvious, but Linux was still stuck in the 80s on that level and essentially a guessing game.

That said, if you want to try something else, the most reasonable but quite involved alternative is probably guix with shepherd.

That’s multiple thousands in some countries

Okay, but why not create more work for yourself by rebuilding everything from scratch?

Can’t believe nobody here mentioned nixOS so far? How about moving all of your configs in a flake and manage all of your systems with it?

Couple it to your smart watch, backup every 10 seconds, and make it vibrate when successful

GDPR already exists, but there is no such thing as permanence in politics. Constant struggle

How many days of “fresh food” can someone possibly have left?

Meanwhile, big AI vacuums up the entirety of music produced by everyone from piracy sites for profit and noone bats an eye

Sounds a lot like a license troll. Probably the specific court and potential violation of a law were picked with care. Perhaps they looked through valve’s terms in advance to find a loophole, design their own terms to exploit that etc.

My take after reading the response as well: I think it’s good that 404 reported this. Also, I think Proton acted responsibly. If you don’t read the 404 headline with a “Proton is a snitch!!!” mindset but more as “This is a thing that happened”, then there is some value in this story. Proton had to cooperate, they explain why and what users can do to minimize risks. Be aware.

Agree and this is very informative about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA9Xq7hb6Q0

He also has another video somewhere to stress test some of the disk types I think

Curiously people seem much more privacy aware with these

Now what does that tell us about the sanity and safety?
