  • Open Letter Update / Fork Announcement (on Hacker News!)

    Jump

  • Many of them have no idea about the context of the fork, especially that it is many of the main contributors of the original repo who are making it

  • I wish more would appreciate Mastodon

    Jump

  • But they don't. Organisations seem to be unable or unwilling to have a presence on multiple sites, or at most they seem to choose either X+BlueSky or X+Mastodon

  • Introducing Waterfox Private Search (Beta)

    Jump

  • Using US search engines underneath is what almost all search engines do, including Ecosia and Qwant. Until next year at least, when they will hopefully finish their own search index.

    Otherwise, valid question

  • EU drops bourbon, wine and dairy products from tariffs list against US

    Jump

  • Embarrassing if true. And one more example of why we need a stronger unity, more cohesion, in the EU. Because otherwise big countries can just target one of us specifically to blackmail us.

  • Otto doesn't ship to other European countries

    Jump

  • Not to defend them, but almost every single rich person lobbies for less property and inheritance taxes

  • "Liberation Day" Trump’s Tariffs on Europe

    Jump

  • Your mistake is that you assume there's a rational reason for the level of tariffs in the first place - they use a nonsense formula based on trade imbalance

  • As an alternative to cloud providers, Sync thing allows you to synchronize files between different computers and mobile devices

    Jump

  • Recently switched from FolderSync to Syncthing - using Syncthing-Fork on my android smartphone.

    Was easier to set up than expected. If you have lots of devices, read up on the introducer feature, it makes the connecting all devices to each other more convenient.

    I recommend activating the time schedule feature for Android Smartphones to save battery, mine is set to run for 5 minutes every hour.

  • Suggestions for music streaming services

    Jump

  • Sadly owned to a large part by an american investment company

  • xManager, popular Spotify mod, encourages people to use Revanced instead

    Jump

  • What do you use for music then?

  • Google will develop Android OS entirely behind closed doors starting next week

    Jump

  • This really could use some EU regulation. But probably not a very simple issue (especially the cameras I believe)

  • EU OS Is a New Community-Led Linux Alternative for Europe’s Public Sector

    Jump

  • I think it's not a distribution really, more of a set of layers on top of a distribution. Like a blueprint for how to setup a distribution for government use in a standardised way. Or sth like that, I didn't really understand it completely.

    Also making our governments dependent on a US organisation seems like a very bad idea, even if it is Ubuntu.

  • Chief of Dutch Central Bank: US influence on payment systems is concerning, working on alternatives for Visa and Mastercard.

    Jump

  • It's a PayPal alternative, but developed in tandem with most European banks. That way, it will at some point also be used as backend for your normal debit and credit card payments, instead of VISA / MasterCard. If I remember correctly.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • If AirVPN supports OpenVPN (it probably does), there is a way to have an OpenVPN connection that is not actively used unless you specify it for the app which you want.

    For instance with qBittorrent you can select to use the VPN network interface in the settings. This has the nice advantage that it also acts like a kill switch.

    It is a little bit finicky to set up for the average user, but if you have some basic tech skills it should be easy with the right guide. If you're interested I canl try to find it.

  • Splitwise alternative

    Jump

  • Tricount is Dutch

  • Thoughts on European companies with significant US investment

    Jump

  • Apparently the founders have 44% of voting rights. So not even the majority anymore...

    Tbh I don't think it's possible to have a promising AI startup in Europe without American investors yeeting their money at it. We probably need to limit this legally.

  • France and Germany, in joint collaboration, have developed a Google Docs alternative - and its awesome! (Netherlands are currently onboarded)

    Jump

  • Honestly I keep wondering how they manage to achieve as much as they do with the little funding they get. It's incredibly impressive.

  • German federal state migrates 30.000 PCs to LibreOffice

    Jump

  • Did that one actually fail for valid reasons, or just because Microsoft blackmailed the city by moving their headquarter location?

  • German federal state migrates 30.000 PCs to LibreOffice

    Jump

  • Nah, they're serious about it. Note that it's just one of the 16 German federal states. The other 15 sadly don't have the necessary courage or integrity to make the switch.

  • Visa and Mastercard are two american companies

    Jump

  • The most probable solution is actually on the way (wero)

    Will take a few more years to get all the features and require some incentives for people to switch from PayPal though. We'll see.
