On the other hand, seeing this symbol more and more on other random videos outside that bubble does give a very nice sense of “I am not alone”. It does more for users to find eachother than it does damage to big corpos.

But choice of the symbol itself is questionable… Why use a big tech symbol to protest big tech? -__- And not just any big tech, but super evil 90s monopolistic giant Microsoft

There’s a nice cartoon in this thread we’re clippy is if he could have, he would have harvest all your data.

Good news: Firefox on Android supports extensions, including uBlockOrigin

Though Im in the same camp, much prefer desktop over mobile for big purchases, banking, or anything that feels important

What timeline is this? xD If anything, Microsoft is less hostile these days than they were in the 90s and early 2000s

Fair enough, and clippy was indeed trying to be helpful, no matter how misguided xD

Did you look in to Zim Desktop Wiki? https://zim-wiki.org/

It stores articles in zim (plaintext) files rather than .md (plaintext) files, but otherwise it’s an excellent FOSS cross platform

Edit: never mind, zim also doesn’t have an Android client. The closest is https://github.com/gsantner/markor which understands Zim syntax

Or build more datacenters in the cold north, or near coastlines. Datacenters don’t necessarily need loads of fresh water.

For example https://greenmountain.no/about-us/

Using a mascot from big tech to protest against invasive big tech is tad confusing…

I had the original Jolla phone back in 2014, it was quite a cool device.

Ultimately it suffered from a lack of apps, and the Android compatibility was functional but a bit janky. There was an incredibly good native WhatsApp app, untill WhatsApp killed it for not being official.

Hope they have some success with the new one

Doesn’t most non-anglo European countries use proportional representation?

Isn’t fwupd already included in SteamOS? Or is there a specific 8bitdo fwupd tool?

Also it’s only a tax on overnight stays. Which some small towns and rural counties overwhelmed by day-travelers are not happy about.

And Iceland! More islands more better

I haven’t seen it mentioned here, so just an FIY: Linux Mint is a “regular” distro, while Bazzite is an immutable distro, meaning the root filesystem is read-only.

That means a lot of the “normal” ways of doing stuff you find online will need to be done differently. For example installing system level packages requires a reboot, to boot in to the new “system image”. If something gets booked you can reboot in to an old system image to recover. Regular desktop (Flatpak) apps can be installed without rebooting.

Bazzite is based on Fedora, and very similar to Fedora SilverBlue (immutable version). So if you can’t find answers when looking online “how to do X in Bazzite” try instead “how to do X in SilverBlue”.

And FYI Linux Mint comes with an easy to use app Timeshift for system level backup and restore (by default it does not backup your documents etc in your HOME folder). Very handy to recover from a borked update or installing something you shouldn’t have.

Ugh, me neither. Bought by Snap-On according to Wikipedia:

Bahco is a Swedish brand within the hand tool industry, which is now part of SNA Europe, part of Snap-on.

Same for Cocraft as far as I know (Clas Ohlson white label)

No, full stack made in Europe. From silicon (microchips) upwards. Including cloud platforms, e-commerce, AI, and more.

Hopefully they’ll funnel a lot of investment in to growing and adopting existing open source projects from Europe.
Image for example if all EU institutions used their Office 365 license fees and instead invested in LibreOffice development, and all adopted LibreOffice

SingleFile provides a faithful representation of the original webpage, so bloated webpages are indeed saved as bloated html files.

On the plus side you’re getting an exact copy, but on the downside an exact copy may not be necessary and takes a huge amount of space.

SingleFile is a browser addon to save a complete web page into a single HTML file. SingleFile is a Web Extension (and a CLI tool) compatible with Chrome, Firefox (Desktop and Mobile), Microsoft Edge, Safari, Vivaldi, Brave, Waterfox, Yandex browser, and Opera.

SingleFile can also be integrated with bookmark managers hoarder and linkding browser extensions. So your browser does the capture, which means you are already logged in, have dismissed the cookie banner, solved the capthas or whatever else annoyance is on the webpage.

ArchiveBox and I believe also Linkwarden use SingleFile (but as CLI from the server side) to capture web pages, as well as other tools and formats. This works well for simple/straightforward web pages, but not for annoying we pages with cookie banners, capthas, and other popups.

Lol, I’m just over a week in to learning NixOS and this feels so true 😂

I feel like I’m just starting on the incline, luckily I don’t have any sturdy rope on hand 😂

Reading your post again, you should start by moving your docker management from CasaOS to vanilla docker-compose files, and keep them in a git repo.

I still think you definitely should look in to NixOS and what it can offer, cause it seems like that is where your mindset is going.

But NixOS is a drastic change, you should start by just converting your individual services one by one from CasaOS management to docker-compose files. One compose file for all services is possible, but I would recommend one compose file for each service. Later you can move from Debian to NixOS while using the same docker-compose files.
