  • In this case I would. Its from the Snowden leaks and from the government for the government, never intended for our public eyes.

    Also if you don't fully trust tor, just add another layer (e.g. VPN). If the government dissuades you from secure open infrastructure and gets you to use closed ones, they have won because companies can always be forced to comply. Algorithms on the other hand, can't.

  • I don't have a second screen right now, but here is my desktop with the 3 default task widgets. Only icons on top, switcher to the right, text and icons on the bottom. All in their own panels. Of course any panel could just be moved onto a second monitor. I remember this is possible since KDE 4 and stable since early KDE 5.

    KDE's strength is its incredibly customizability. In the past this also lead to instability for unorthodox configurations, but the last few years it has also been very stable for me.

  • You can easily do that on plasma. Just add a panel and add the widget you prefer (only icons, or icons and window titles)

  • Germany's phase-out of nuclear energy 'irreversible,' says Merz

    Jump

  • No Idea where you get that I support lignite use. As I said, renewables should be the choice.

    And no, there is no excuse "We had to replace the reactors with coal!".

    By current prices building renewable energy which generates X per year costs about as much as importing/mining fossil raw materials to produce X for 5 years. If you factor in storage you get 10 years. Thats very short time for amortization. Fasten than a nuclear plant can even be built. And this does not even include all the costs fossil fuels produce otherwise (upkeep of plants, environmental impact, ...)

  • Germany's phase-out of nuclear energy 'irreversible,' says Merz

    Jump

  • It was also a double standard, as import of French electricity from nuclear power was still imported.

    In 2022 Germany exported 15.3 TWh to France.Of course there have been days where imports were made, as the power flow varies widely depending on a huge number of circumstances, but all in all the often repeated claim that Germany relies on nuclear power from France is plain wrong. Correct is that France was very reliant on other countries to get trough the hot summer due to their plants failing.

  • The effects of the energy crisis were also noticeable for uranium oxide which also reached its 11 year peak during the crisis. More than doubling in price.

    What didn't increase its cost during the crisis? Renewables. As @Aufgehtsabgehts@feddit.org said investing in those would have reduced the effects of the crisis noticeably. An example for this is Denmark. Also note that cooling reactors becomes more difficult/expensive with climate change. See energy prices in France in the summer.

    Also in Ukraine you can right now see another disadvantage of atomic plants: They are huge strategic targets.

  • The ‘European’ Jolla Phone Is an Anti-Big-Tech Smartphone

    Jump

  • Just going by your listed requirements: N900 with Maemo Leste.

    Of couse its Hardware is to limited for todays tasks (Web)

  • Installed Graphene OS

    Jump

  • Had that on one of mine too (my main one I used for many years). Yes thats very bad, nearly unfixable and you can only use it with a second phone which provides a hotspot.

    But in case you want to get rid of it it would be great if you sent it to the team for development purposes (You can reach them on their mailing list https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/maemo-leste) or even I would be happy if you send it to me, so that I have spare parts and maybe I will dare to try to fix the modem.

    (Some people had success with stripping all temperature sensitive parts and plastics from the mainboard and baking the mainboard in the oven)

    In case you want to to keep it, believe me, I fully understand :) Maybe one day you will get the urge to fiddle with it again.

  • Installed Graphene OS

    Jump

  • Still have it?You can try maemo Leste on it. https://maemo-leste.github.io/

    Far from usable as daily phone, but they are making good progress despite their small team. Dillo works as Browser for sites without js, SMS works well, calls are possible, Bluetooth is missing but everything else pretty much works.

    Of course the 256MB RAM pose a heavy limit for todays apps. You have to choose ones which use it sparingly. E.g. mupdf, gnumeric instead of libreoffice and so on.

    But its awesome for mobile ssh and, little games like SNES ones. I am starting to use it as second phone.

  • Windows-Alternative: Was das große Update auf Linux 7 bieten soll

    Jump

  • Gibt auch andere, die Clevo Barebones gehen auch meist super. Besonders natürlich die von Tuxedo und System76 aufgegriffenen. Und bei Lenovo vor allem die Thinkpad Reihe.

    Dachte ich hol mir ein günstiges Ideapad (14APH8) und bin auf der sicheren Seite. Das macht Probleme, auch unter Windows. Mal aus dem Standby nicht aufgewacht. Manchmal hängt er einfach komplett, selbst SysRQ geht nicht mehr, mal spinnt der Grafiktreiber wegen der ungewöhnlichen Kombi mit dem Display, die NPU im PC wurde von Lenovo erst nach einem Jahr freigeschaltet und es sammelt Dellen wie kein PC zuvor, einer der USB-C Ports hat einen Wackelkontakt nach 2 Monaten Schreibtisch gehabt. Hatte ich bisher nur mal mit einem USB-A bei meinem Clevo nach 9 Jahren auf Wanderschaft durch Uni, 2 Arbeitsplätze und einigem mehr. Der Zweite USB-C zeigt erste Schwächen, dann kann ich ihn nicht mehr laden. Laden geht eh nur mit 65W Netzteil, alles weniger lehnt er ab. Gut, hat nur ein kleiner Teil mit Linux zu tun, aber ich hab nie einem PC so wenig getraut.

    Das nächste mal wirds wieder ein Clevo.

  • Epic Game Store’s free giveaways just cause a huge spike in Steam sales, reveals New Blood CEO

    Jump

  • This is the same effect which makes piracy beneficiary for developers. The EU financed a big study on it, expected to confirm claims that i causes high losses for creators. After they got unwanted results they shelved it silently. The Pirate Party then brought it to light.

    Free advertising is always good and many people who have a no hassle option to own the game and to reward the creator will do so.

  • German Chancellor Merz: "Will not allow components from China in 6G network"

    Jump

  • This is very relevant. The reasoning to ban hardware from China is two fold in the article: 1. To reduce general dependency on Chinas Manufacturing 2. To increase security. And here is the point. Huawei has offered to provide source code and processes for building the firmware for their devices, thus allowing the German state to check every detail of the the devices. Neither Nokia nor Ericson have agreed to do the same, they should be forced to do so for such important infrastructure.

    Even worse is Cisco from the USA. They have been found guilty of multiple times adding hardware and/or software backdoors to their devices. Or in their wording "forgetting to remove a remote root access used for development purposes" Here one of the recent cases: https://www.cyber.gc.ca/en/alerts-advisories/vulnerability-impacting-cisco-devices-cve-2023-20198 (This may happen once, but if it happens more than once the company is either guilty of implementing it a backdoor or so incompetent in security no one should dare to buy even a home router from then, much less equipment for critical infrastructure)

    In the NSA Leaks Snowden also revealed documents proving that the NSA regularly tampers with Cisco devices to implement backdoors and have standard tools for that. (Also affecting hardware from other US manufacturers)

    So asking: "Why these bold claims about increasing security and decreasing dependence with focus on China when these issues are far greater with another supplier" is very much valid. I am actually quite happy that Merz mentioned independence from the USA too.

  • Building a Linux Phone

  • Lika a Nokia N900 with a modern prozessor, camera, some GBs of RAM and a 5G modem. And of course Open Source drivers for the Hardware. This would be my dream phone (As the N900 was, back, when its Hardware was recent)

  • /u/cerebralhawks did understand the tweet.

    In short he wrote that everybody has to adapt his persona in some ways to fit into society and the expectations of educators. Some adopted easily, some also with mental anguish. (Think about not talking/not pursuing about your favorite interest because it is not cool, or because parents deem it to girly for a boy)

    Nearly everybody has to sort this out when growing up/taking initiative to make choices out of interest and personality and not because of the environment. (and one of them can be: I am not my assigned gender!)

    He also aknowledged that queer people have to deal with this more on average.

  • Finanzierung des Deutschlandtickets bis 2030 gesichert

    Jump

  • Immerhin ist die Inflation des Deutschlandtickets damit gegenüber der letzten Erhöhung konstant gehalten bei ca 8,7% pro Jahr. Ich hab nur irgendwie verpasst, dass das allgemeine Inflationsziel auf den Wert erhöht wurde...

  • Meanwhile at Microsoft

    Jump

  • I have mostly abandoned Win for many years (I only have gaming PC where I still have dual boot) Has it really gotten that bad? Every time I boot up Win I am shocked how long this clean PC with only Games installed and high end hardware takes to get ready. But at least it does its job.

    On Linux (Kubuntu in my case) I haven't had an issue with hanging software in a long time. Even browsers have become completely stable.
