  • Anyone here running /e/os? What is your experience? Which phone do you use?

    Jump

  • Pretty snappy. There's no bloat at all and you're in full control on what's on there so it's been quite nice. I haven't noticed anything being slow. The default launcher is very like an iPhone but I would've always switched to lawnchair and put as many foss apps as I can for all the usual stuff so the experience day to day is very similar to my old phone at less than half the cost new.

    Jump

  • Just bought a Fairphone 5 and installed /e/os myself through their adb script (they only had normal android ones in stock). So far, it works flawlessly and even managed to install my bank app. I haven't tried wallet as don't tend to use it. Everything else works and not missing the Samsung s22 ultra I moved from.

  • Migrate from Bitwarden US region to EU?

    Jump

  • Given that you can also export the vault in json, CSV and json (encrypted), it should not be too difficult to transfer to the new one. I have migrated from keepass to vaultwarden, then moved the vaultwarden between home servers without difficulty.

    I backup vaultwarden locally and to borgbase, and managed to get my vault backup after simulating a crash. However in reality, the few times I have had actual problems with a connection while away from home, I made do with the local copies available on my phone, tablet and/or laptop. You can't create new passwords if your Server is down but you have access to the client copy of existing passwords since it last synced. I don't keep my email password on there so in one rare case I just created a new password to logon to something urgently.

  • Britain issues travel warning for US

    Jump

  • My manager and a team mate had to go to the US for work earlier this week. They're both British citizens but Indian heritage so was genuinely worried for them. Work made sure their papers were in order and they had local contacts just in case. It was "no more difficult than usual" (it's always been hard for brown people coming in with "random" security checks). There is no way I would be going though, would flat out refuse.

    One made it home but funnily enough the other is stuck in Vancouver on the connection as theres some fire in Heathrow. At least he's out of the USA!

  • Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law.

    Jump

  • This, the limit on how much it could be, and the ban on charging any additional fees, absolute game changers! The changing them not being able to tax deduct mortgage payments has also changed behaviour. I mean, landlords are still a huge drain on society and rents are mental but these steps help

  • European vacuums recommendations?

    Jump

  • Checked the comments to mainly make sure nobody was recommending dyson so glad to see this comment! Plus, didn't they move their HQ to Singapore so probably doesn't count as UK based anyway? Either way they suck.

    My Henry (built in the UK) is still going strong after lots of abuse and use

  • European Electric Bike Brands: All 113 E-Bike Brands Listed

    Jump

  • Afraid not, was just flicking through and saw Raleigh in the UK section, which I know a lot about as lived in the area of Nottingham it was once in. They offshored all their factories to cheaper Asian countries many years ago leaving just a small presence in the UK to sell and unpack the bikes. I can see only 130 UK staff (68 sales, 62 admin) so can't imagine they build anything here.

    When I get some time I'll go through the list, at least the UK ones which I can find information about much more easily (our company data is open to all - not many countries have this)

  • European Electric Bike Brands: All 113 E-Bike Brands Listed

    Jump

  • Careful of their lists. Raleigh started in the UK but has no manufacturing plants there (as far as I can tell) and is owned by Accell Group BV, which is based in Netherlands. Still Europe but not sure you can trust these countries of origin

  • I love my Haibike, would definitely recommend.

  • What's your opinion on Japanese products?

    Jump

  • Cant really talk about product quality but from a social perspective, which I can see pretty clearly given I have worked for a major Japanese conglomerate and spent a lot of time with Japanese "expats" across Europe, it's very far behind Europe on social aspects.

    There is a lot of misogyny, racism, hierarchy, classism and conservatism. Theres no recognition, acceptance or real change done in relation to the horrors carried out in WW2.

    Part of the reason for their very low birth rate is their poor treatment of working women and extreme tough stance on immigration or refugees. Their working culture is horrendous generally.

    Young people are pushing back and trying to change things so if it's a small, modern company they may be OK. However, if you care for social issues then avoid the major conglomerates that run most of the economy.

    On the plus side, they are very good at technical engineering and really care about their (Japanese) workers, which still have jobs for life.

  • Canadian idea, what do you think ?

    Jump

  • Exactly, especially jobs where you don't have to directly interact with customers or management while doing it. I loved stock room work for the same reason

  • Canadian idea, what do you think ?

    Jump

  • Love the idea!

  • EU-US rift triggers call for made-in-Europe tech

    Jump

  • I was thinking about this last night. In wars we often issue war bonds and people go around asking everyone to contribute what they can. Why not reinvent this but concepts including co-operatives, employee councils, kickstarter, social awareness, community awareness, inclusion of minorities and socially disadvantaged people, etc.

    How about a technology investment bond, or a direct investment fund into new enterprises to build these up.

    Shame the rich to invest into them instead but we know that won't work so let's all invest so we don't have to rely on them.

    I know it's politically challenging but I would happily invest my pension pot into companies to improve our European tech in a socially aware and fair system, than the current US stock market it's half made up of (I will change this!). Hell, just give grants to the open source community to develop things and let everyone in the world benefit

  • US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources.

    Jump

  • Exactly. I'm already thinking about pulling my pension pot out of any US investments. It's a tiny amount but maybe we can start a movement to keep pension investments in countries and systems you believe in, not whatever mix are typically used

  • From a UK or German IP address, Google maps has it as Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).

    We're being dragged into this mess so will look to report it

  • Uttar Pradesh's 'No Helmet, No Fuel' policy begins in Lucknow to encourage road safety

    Jump

  • Oh Ok. Sorry, it just can't across really negative rather than pointing out a potential flaw. I can see difficulties enforcing it by the workers like you mention

    Jump

  • Thanks for taking the time to reply. Will have to reconsider my choices here!

  • Uttar Pradesh's 'No Helmet, No Fuel' policy begins in Lucknow to encourage road safety

    Jump

  • Im curious about your argument because this would justify not putting any rules at any time. No cigarettes for under age in shops (might attack a shop keeper), no alcohol in pubs (might attack a bartender), no fines for speeding (might attack cameras or police), no parking restrictions (might attack ticket wardens), etc.

    Maybe the threat of fines are not enough to change this behaviour (which I can understand in India after spending a lot of time there) so they are trying a novel approach. One thing Indian police will take more seriously is attacking a worker for applying the rules compared to risking your own life.
