  • EU could tax Big Tech if Trump trade talks fail, says von der Leyen

    Jump

  • Would 100% force the US to fold. The loss of influence of American tech and banking software would cripple America further and without negative sentiment from much of the American populace. Anger directed towards Trump and Republicans

  • China strikes back with 125% tariffs on U.S. goods, starting April 12

    Jump

  • Chinese internal consumption grew since the first Trump republican admin. This will drive their local industries even further and grow the significance of relationships with its neighbors. Then here in the US, we'll spend less, have worse trade relations with neighbors and overseas countries, a good portion of us will have less interest in domestic made goods.

    The US stupidly skipped to the end of a trade war plan. Didn't shore up domestic manufacturing beforehand. Didn't gather agreement with alliance countries to wage war together with. Didn't shore up support from the population to shoulder higher prices. No good will built. Just 3 months of immediate attacking everyone and be surprised that now domestically everyone's panicking too because no one prepared for this

  • Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky

  • GIMP 3, Krita, Darktable, Inkscape, Kdenlive

  • China issues travel warning for US

    Jump

  • I have friends scared to leave the country. Husbands/spouses from Canada or Mexico. Friends that did research in Cuba, Venezuela, some other country that Trump defaults to everyone is evil. After the detention of the canadians and germans, everyone's scared of US travel. No one is scared to visit an east/southeast asian country. Everyone is a bit scared of going through US customs/border crossings

  • Star Citizen has now raised over $800m, with still no release in sight

    Jump

  • I've never put any money in this game. I remember I feel like a decade+ ago they had that ship hanger demo that was the only thing available at the time. I think I installed that. Whatever. If people fund this game and it ends up solid someday I'll enjoy it

    German state gov. ditching Windows for Linux, 30K workers migrating

    Jump

  • Every year will be easier than the last I guess. I've been reading about attempts for well over a decade. LibreOffice is way better than it was a decade ago. I felt like Google Docs would eventually be the downfall of MS Office because how schools were using it and everyone getting used to exporting as PDF to submit

    Ideally we keep snowballing the idea of using open source art tools over American proprietary ones as at least a means of national self-resolve. So like Blender, Krita, Kdenlive, Ardour, etc

  • Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military

    Jump

  • Switch to Linux. Don't use Microsoft email. If possible don't use MS Office and if you currently need it, encourage Libreoffice, OnlyOffice, etc

  • How to start using the new Linux terminal on your Android device

    Jump

  • It's a Debian VM so you can install whatever software is available in the Debian package manager. Full blown ffmpeg for video processing. Install imagemagick and do some conversions on your images. Code compilers so develop your android applications on your android phone. Use your old phone as a Jellyfin media server.

    Once GUI applications start working, use desktop software like Blender and Ardour. Desktop Firefox, Chrome. Desktop VLC. Desktop office suites like OnlyOffice and Libreoffice. Maybe it'll let you install any deb installer and you can install Davinci Resolve. This Debian VM may make Android replace ChromeOS and be Androids solution to a companion desktop environment that has access to a plethora of powerful desktop software

  • How to start using the new Linux terminal on your Android device

    Jump

  • Depends on how performant this VM is especially if it can utilize the phones GPU well. If the GPU passes into the VM well then that opens up a lot

    You get access to desktop Linux applications which can be very good. May really enhance Android devices ability to be a laptop replacement. My personal laptop is an Ultrabook from 2017. Practically every phone released these days are more powerful than it

    Like say if you had a video that was 1920x1080 but the actually something by something. If you googled how to detect what the dimensions inside the black border are and crop them, you'd probably find ffmpeg commands to run and crop it. With the VM just run the ffmpeg commands

    Maybe it's a really good VM and you could use desktop Linux applications well. Now you can get access to desktop Linux Davinci Resolve, Krita, Ardour, Audacity, etc. Last testimonials I've seen is that GUI applications don't work yet but that's a work in progress

    If you're a software developer now your phone can conceivably be solid for work. gcc, g++, npm, javac, etc. Maybe it'll make developing Android apps on an Android phone very viable. Java/Kotlin compiler

    Maybe this may help make your old android phone age well like using a phone to be a Jellyfin media server or some home automation computer, voice assistant, rather than buy something from Amazon

    I haven't tried it but there's a lot of computing power in modern phones that are wasted. Phones have been more powerful than Raspberry Pi's since forever and those are the backbones of so many things out in the world you'd generally never notice

    Desktop Linux has a lot of familiar software that people use on Macs and Windows machines. Android getting access to desktop Linux applications makes it seriously usable as a dockable PC

  • Just the initial wave. The next one should be a way bigger response to the blanket EU tariff

  • US to implement 104% tariff on China as Trump-imposed deadline passes

    Jump

  • Hopefully they slap back with and then the EU responds is quick to respond to this recent April tariffs. Slap tariffs on US services

  • Elon Musk says he wants 'zero' tariffs between the US and Europe

    Jump

  • Nahh. It'd be better if Europe placed higher tariffs especially on Musk owned companies. Ban them from government contracts

  • 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

    Jump

  • The more people hop onto Linux the faster and better funded support for Linux development becomes. If you're a single player gamer or play Valve multiplayer games primarily, make the jump to Linux. Get on Mint, get on Fedora, Ubuntu, etc and get off Microsoft's shitboat. You already took off from Reddit. Wean off all these other money/data leeches

  • China hit brakes on TikTok deal after Trump announced wide-ranging tariffs, AP source says

    Jump

  • No country, no non-American company should capitulate to American demands currently. Let dementia Donald and friends flail for a bunch of hollow victories and have their obituaries become holidays

  • Tesla investors brace for another year of sales decline as Musk backlash grows

    Jump

  • People should get it in their mind to never buy Tesla vehicles for the rest of their lives

  • Trump extends TikTok deal deadline by 75 days, touts 'tremendous progress'

    Jump

  • Trump tariffs and he can't afford more shit held against him. Bytedance is going to come out of this doing well

  • Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service

    Jump

  • I'd consider it. If they host things outside of the US/start moving operations overseas, it'd be a lot more interesting. I sub to Proton for email, VPN, and drive support. Still hoping someday for proper Linux drive support so Mozilla/Thunderbird can target that

  • Bernstein Posits That A 10 Percent Baseline US Tariff On Raw Semiconductors Is "Not Going To Do All That Much," But PCs, Servers, And Smartphones Are About To Get Pricier By ~40 Percent

    Jump

  • Pretty much. Everyone else will be able to trade with the east and southeast Asian countries business as usual. Maybe even more now that the US is making themselves less price competitive. The bad thing for the EU could be the drop in sales to the US not being replaced fast enough outside of the US leading to squeezing existing customers for more cash or possibly some businesses failing
