  • I Replaced My Entire Work Setup with European Software – Is It Possible?

    Jump

  • The fundamental issue is that these days there isn’t European software (and I doubt even American software).

    We all rely on a supply chain of software. This open source library from a French guy hosted on an GitHub, this linkable but closed source library for interacting with this piece of hardware, this componed developed by people all around the world and hosted in Germany.

    Heck even the Linux kernel kicked out Russian maintainers for this exact reason.

    If the S* will hit the fan as the s* promised during election, I expect more and more government mandated backdoors.

    Imagine the s*show of log4j but this time in boost or gcc std library made in a way that seems an innocent mistake, hard to trigger and hidden in the changelog and submitted at the same time a legitimate change in the same file happen

  • AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking

  • That, I guess, it’s the whole point. Stopping being tracked 🙂

  • The chat space is problematic.

    • There are a lot of apps that don’t encrypt at all (e.g. Google chat, discord, etc)
    • There are apps that encrypt but they are subject to jurisdictions that can or may in the future force backdoors (e.g., Chinese apps, possibly telegram, possibly US apps in the future)
    • There are apps that encrypt, are in countries that are privacy focused but are not for free (e.g., threema)

    This contributes to a fragmentation that makes WhatsApp the app that-you-must-have

    Sure it is supposedly encrypted but I would not bet my money that is without back doors

  • YSK that in the US, denaturalization, the process of revoking a person's citizenship, does not require proof "Beyond reasonable doubt"

    Jump

  • Except that countries like Canada has laws that makes it possible to happen

    I would be curious to read a reference to that… not that any country cares just they history on how they agreed on something like that

  • Not walking can lead to heart issues. You really should stop using this car

  • The Buy European movement has been mentioned on a major Swiss news site (20 Minuten)

    Jump

  • And by major, here we mean a free newspaper of mediocre quality that is distributed at the tram/bus stops.

  • I hate that nowadays AI == LLM/chatbot.

    I love the AI classifiers that keep me safe from spam or that help me categorise pictures. I love the AI based translators that allow me to write in virtually any language almost like a real speaker.

    What I hate is these super advanced stocastic parrots that manage to pass the Turing test and, so, people assume they think.

    I am pretty sure that they asked specifically about LLM/chatbots the percentage of people not caring would be even higher

  • Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose

    Jump

  • Right they should have peacefully be annexed to Soviet Union 2.0

    I guess you would have gone with that

  • Hey in the middle age people weren’t working that much… more first Industrial Revolution 🙂

  • Ukraine on ‘irreversible path’ to NATO membership, Starmer tells Zelenskyy

    Jump

  • Would the US leave the NATO military bases in Europe? Because that would be huge and would reduce a lot the US military presence in Europe. And, with that, influence in Europe…

  • Hahaha No.

  • China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

    Jump

  • Kinda, yeah. Gaming workstation + Network card (and optics) from fs.com + Nixos.

    This setup has the benefit that my workstation has also all possible bandwidth. Services run in nixos containers (that are awesome!) for isolation from the routing.

  • Written in Switzerland from my 25GBps symmetric connection (for like 60$/month) that I have for a couple of years 🤷‍♂️

    Also for personal use the difference between 1Gbps and 25 (or, I guess, 100GBps) is essentially zero… your everyday connection is via WiFi (good luck to get more than 1GBps there) or on a home server/NAS/workstation where likely you run batch jobs where the difference between 1 minute or 5 minutes is not a huge deal (and yes I am not saying 1 vs 25 because at that speed generally the bottleneck is the place where you are getting data from)

  • Best alternative to WhatsApp?

    Jump

  • Otherwise you don’t get all operators being able to read your messages, all the vulnerabilities of SS7 (so not only your operator, any random dude with experience can read your messages)

    So many advantages!

    But it is compatible with iMessage that it is what really matters, really 😂

  • Awesome list! Much better than a list I would make 🙂

    I would just change slightly the “What can I do to help?” (That is a call for a “nothing”) to “How can I help?” (That shows much more enthusiasm in wanting to help)
