  • What's your backup plan if AI takes your job?

    Jump

  • It won't, so none

  • What TV show traumatized you as a kid?

    Jump

  • Twin Peaks. Way too young to see it, when I did.

  • Looking for DVD player recommentation

    Jump

  • I also try to move away from streaming to physical media, DVD, BluRay etc. My local movie store only had Panasonic DVD/BluRay players, and reviews generally looks good, so bought a Panasonic and it does the job well. Can recommend.

    EDIT: For clarify the local movie shop is independent and like 30-40 years old, and run by people who is movie and tech nerds, who knows what they are talking about. They have been THE shop since Laserdisc was the place to be.

  • How to work out

    Jump

  • Can recommend calisthenics / body weight fitness. It is easy to get started, hard to get wrong and the results are the best I have experienced.

    I know, reddit. But search for 'Recommended Routine' on reddit for a good place to start.

  • Looking for a good e-mail provider that's not Tuta/Proton

    Jump

  • Posteo.de. Been using them for years, and are coulden't be more happy.

  • The word on the street is that Peter Thiel and friends wan't it for a tech bro network state, with no regulation on AI (as in LLMs) and other tech fantasies.

    Don't have a link, but it's public known that Thiel and friends wan't it, and that they seem to have the man in power in on it.

  • The head of the US Copyright Office has reportedly been fired, the day after the agency concluded AI companies' use of copyrighted material does not fall under existing doctrines of fair use

    Jump

  • Be a Orange guy supporter or give in. But that dosen't take away from the now former head doing the right thing, despite the very real chance of getting fired.

    Jump

  • Great news with the report on fair use. Fingers crossed that it haves an effect on lawsuits.

    Sad about the firing. But good to see that the head of US Copyright Office didn't gave in to preasure, and doing the right thing.

  • Trump says U.S. will 'get Greenland,' military force may not be needed but not ruled out

    Jump

  • An interesting take. Read somewhere that the reason Trump want's Greenland and Canada is so the US is bigger geographical than Russia. Was said as a semi-joke. But at this point I'm not ruling anything out.

  • It has been a few weeks since we started this, which European email provider have you switched to?

  • We live in a public transit hell

    Jump

  • Agree 100%. But where I live politicians always seem to focus more on giving tax cuts than maintenance and improving trains. The people should not accept it, but.. Tax cuts!

  • We live in a public transit hell

    Jump

  • Good to hear! Didn't know that. Good news.

  • We live in a public transit hell

    Jump

  • Agreed. Politicians should prioritize trains and public transport more. And bicycles while we're at it.

  • We live in a public transit hell

    Jump

  • The problem with trains is they are public (under)founded. The rich and powerfull with political influence don't want working public transportation because less carsales, oil, gasoline etc.

    Which explains why Musk prevented a high speed train in the US with his hyperloop. We all need to buy EV"s which have most of the downsides of traditional cars.

    When we could have clean, fast and comfortable public transportation.

    EDIT: Spelling.

  • Anyone interested in starting a cooperative business helping 🇪🇺 European companies and organizations migrate away from ⛓️‍💥 cloud platforms from USA?

    Jump

  • I work with Open Source, Privacy (GDPR etc.) and cyber- and informationsecurity. Im in.

  • I've had the same laptop for seven years. Don't know much about them besides buy a Toshiba. Is this Hp Essential Laptop a good deal?

    Jump

  • Found the Thinkpad collector who is afraid of competition. Just kidding.. 🙂

    I haven't had much experience with the newer models, so what you say may be true.

    Jump

  • Don't know if it's a good deal.

    As others here I will recommend also looking at other brands. I think that you get the best deal by buying used business laptops. They are cheap, good quality, built to last and often repairable.

    Brand-wise I think Dell is OK, while Lenovo Thinkpads series T, X, W and carbon are even better choices, IMO.

  • Petition on the implementation of an EU-Linux operating system in public administrations across all EU countries

    Jump

  • Someone mentioned that M365 is properly not legal. Guess what, it isn't.

    The EDPS (European Data Protection Supervisor) investgated the EU-Commissions' use of M365 and found it to be illegal in march 2024. EPDS gave the Commission until December 2024 to, among other things, stop transfers of Personal Information to third countries in M365 outside the EU. Which of course made the Commission sue the EDPS. And MS to do the same..

    So M365 is NOT legal to use for any Public Institution in the EU. Unless the Controller make Microsoft change their DPA, contract etc. Kinda like MS did for the Dutch government after the dutch firm Privacy Company made an in depth analysis of M365 and found numerous illegal processing etc.

    Fun how Microsoft was made aware of how they acted illegal, and changed it - only for the Dutch Government...!! The rest of their Customers still have the illegal DPA, terms etc... Also fun how it is Common knowledge and IT-departments still choose to use M365, and move as much as possible there from more privacy and security oriented services.

    EDPS investigation into the Commissions use of M365: https://www.edps.europa.eu/press-publications/press-news/press-releases/2024/european-commissions-use-microsoft-365-infringes-data-protection-law-eu-institutions-and-bodies_en

    My point? EU-Linux is a fantastic idea! 🙂
