  • I've updated the Digital Independence cheat sheet for leaving big tech

  • Not to mention the fact that a bunch of banking apps won’t work on LineageOS. You can try magisk as a workaround for some, but others just won’t.

  • Linux or Windows.

    Jump

  • Yeah Linux can be troublesome if you’re dual booting on a single drive. Updates can break the GRUB. Also it’ll take a while to optimise your workflow (like finding replacement for Windows apps).

  • European tech industry coalition calls for 'radical action' on digital sovereignty — starting with buying local

  • We don’t need to start with big products such as phones. Start small, such as moving off to a new email for personal use. Keep the gmail one for junk use (i.e: when signing up to services). Ask your closest friends to switch to Signal instead of WhatsApp. Use Firefox instead of Chrome (you can import all your browser settings). This process will take years and shouldn’t simply be a knee jerk reaction).

  • The Donald has Hitler levels of luck in that regard.

  • Firmware update bricks HP printers, makes them unable to use HP cartridges

    Jump

  • Yeah HP’s recent elite book is unfortunately popular with businesses. My office got them when we were about to be issued. Everyone complained, so they decided to move back to Dell for standard issue. Unfortunately I’m stuck with HP for next few years.

  • Can citizens convince the EU commission to invest in opensource in this political climate?

    Jump

  • They need to get off Twitter. Go back to using the Press for official statements of high importance. And use Mastodon (Bluesky can interact with Mastodon instances in the future iirc) for rest. As a longer term project, move govt systems to Linux.

  • Thinkpad for the win

    Jump

  • Number of reasons. Works well with Apple products, long battery life, way more powerful for most normal (sometimes applies to even some basic UI devs and small project video editing). It’s got great hardware. However Apple is a nightmare capitalist company that’ll try to dime and nickel you for every possible thing.

  • This Cybertruck shaped man is destroying our government

    Jump

  • Likely he took implants but never really worked for them. Just a conjecture.

  • Funny but it's not funny.

  • Canada is still well protected, unlike rest of Europe which has a land border with Russia. Post Ukraine, it’s the turn of ex Soviet states (i.e. Lithuania, etc) to start googling where to move?

  • M4 Mac Mini's Power Button Has New Bottom Location

    Jump

  • That’s never changing. You can connect a separate storage drive but it’ll be slower than the built in one.

  • M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location

    Jump

  • Imagine a scenario where a bunch of these are used as a server and to power cycle all of them need to turned off.

  • Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers

    Jump

  • I mean he’s legally obligated to, not really a choice. He can say screw it, but then he opens himself up to legal troubles.

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today

    Jump

  • It typically happens during updates. People have reported their grub screwing up. If you’re able I would honestly suggest separate drives

    Musk’s X blocked links to JD Vance dossier after hearing from Trump campaign

    Jump

  • Exactly, Twitter still has over 200 million DAU. Thread has about 30 million, Bluesky has less. Mastodon is worse.

    Things like my city’s metro communication is still on Twitter. People aren’t going leave anytime soon.

  • One of my Indian friends said she felt invisible when visiting France. Apparently being stared at just for being a woman is common in India.

    Using inside info, iPhone thieves arrive at your house right after FedEx

  • In France you can have it delivered to a post office. To pick it up you’ll need to show a state id card as proof.
