Maybe Linux usage is starting to affect corporate decisions. Good stuff.

It’s been learning from github in terms of downtime. Still winning though.

It’ll probably only work in a neutral country. Turkey and Pakistan have done that in the past. Not sure which would work here.

Let’s not pretend it was ever a force for good, just a force for capitalism.

Ha. UK now has tropical summers. It’s insane. Hottest May / June days in like 40/50 years. Hard to deny. I remember when we had two days of sun without rain and that was the entirety of summer.

The signal one suggests it’s a phone OS hack that can open apps so could probably do threema too.

The article you shared suggested it’s likely the result of lobbying by the company so they use a company inside the country.

Fossify photos is also good.

I think originally it was the other way and many distros use a compiler flag to stop it being opt out.

They tried to add in opt out telemetry in. A few forks were created as a result.

Meh. Prefer Tenacity without the enshittification.

Nah. Good shot.

Don’t assume, it makes an…

Is it even open source? If not, you can trust it as much as you trust any company with a profit motive.

Is GTFS short for Get The Fucking Schedule?

I want it to be true.

An insulin pump doesn’t work without an app?

Sheesh, that’s dystopian? What if a diabetic doesn’t have a smart phone? Surely there is an alternative? How did they function before Android?

Yup. It’s been bugging me too.

If it isn’t many images, couldn’t you just login on VPN (i think proton has free one) and delete images?

What? Is this a positive step by large companies?

The cynic in me thinks they’ll push to legislate for this so Indies cannot compete and they make more money from MTX hell.

UK did some dark shit in the past. No debate.

Brexit is a whole different topic. Norway isn’t part of the EU, does that mean they are racist? You can hopefully see how weak that point was. Part of the debate was about sovereignty and economic decline. Whether valid, your implication that because 17m voted for that, they are all racist, is wholly wrong, shallow and child like black and white thinking. Some are, yes. I do know folks from right or left year voted for it who don’t have a racist bone in their body. You have to be able to handle nuanced debates though.

You’ve completely changed the topic from slurs and what isn’t acceptable to a whole piece on racism and I think every country can do an awful lot more to improve, UK included. The point was, slurs in there that some are finding acceptable in other countries isn’t here. You’d get banned from football games for them or fired from jobs.

If you just want to go down the “UK all bad!” You can carry on the whatabouttery/kitchen sinking on your own to make yourself feel better to protect your country and feed that nationalist indignation you got going on. If you want to go back to discussing slurs and acceptability, happy to welcome you back to the debate.

Guessing you don’t live in the UK. Accepted we have many issues we need to address and further progress to make, but certain slurs ans language are unacceptable and can rightly land you in hot water. Meanwhile in America and some other places, folk are like “lol, n word”.

Here in the uk , the P word is probably the most offensive word you could use against a person of Indian descent. Up there with the n word. removed (f word) is also probably the most offensive slur you can use in reference to gay people. It’s correct that they banned them.

Guessing you’re from America where being offensive is cool. Historically people used to justify the n word based on the origins rather than the highly offensive connotations.

UK ain’t woke, just has some acceptance that people from different backgrounds have some value rather than pandering to grumpy white folk who care about nothing but themselves and how inconvenient it is to possibly consider other words.
